2002
$30K Baltimore 275 people |
| 3k including dress and make up/hair, court house wedding, plus reception, 50 people, 2005. DH bought the ring which was 2500. Got 2500 in gift money excluding parent's gifts. Still married. |
| 25k, 100 people, 2009. Near Fairfield, CT. Paid ourselves. No debt. Would have preferred 50 people. DH wanted more. |
| $15K in 2006, 125 people |
Agree. Wish we had held BBQ reception at his parent's house and saved the money on food/venue/bar. It was a nice wedding but 11 years out I couldn't give two shits less. Never look at my pictures, whatever. It was a day. We're still together, slogging through life as two working parents with two kids. That's all that matters. |
| 125 ppl 60kish Westchester, NY 2007 |
| about $25k for 100 people (10 tables) at the National Harbor....I think Wolf Gang Puck now has a lock on the catering for the site so it's probably very steep now. |
| 50k in Faber, Virginia for 75 people in 2016 at a vineyard |
| This whole thread is making me thing that people care a lot less about 'name' and important locations for their weddings/receptions than I once thought. Looks like a whole lot of middle-of-the-road weddings out in the countryside, which is probably a factor of the age at which people got married more than anything else. |
| Couple of dollars at the courthouse in Virginia, been married 24 years, we don't regret it |
| Around $12k for 100 people in 2008. We saved for it and paid cash. |

$120K in 2003
Georgetown, DC 175 people |
|
~$25K (including honeymoon)
1999 Chevy Chase, MD 175 people It was a lot, but it was fun. I wish we hadn't spent so much, but I don't regret it. |
| $12k including rings and honeymoon. 75 people, parents house in New England. Perfect size, knew everyone well. Could have been cheaper, but felt necessary to have a tent in case of rain (it drizzled a bit) and hired caterer (didn't want to task family with food prep.) |
What a waste |
