[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]November 2016 at the Capitol View Rooftop. All told about $35k for 140 people. [/quote]

That's really cheap for that many people. Where did you skimp out?[/quote]

PP here. I don't think we truly skimped out anything in the sense that we had certain priorities that might not be traditional. For example, the only flowers we had were bouquet and boutineers (still a thousand freaking bucks). I bought the table decorations wholesale online (candles and vases). Instead of buying 150 of something as favors, we offers $5 Uber coupons and only paid for the ones that were used (very few). We had a planner who helped us find vendors on the cheaper side, but all of which we were extremely pleased with. Our caterer was probably on the cheaper side as we actually planned to do a buffet, but the venue said at the last minute we couldn't use open flame sternos, so we ended up with a plated meal at no extra cost which was awesome. My husband is a brewer, so we got all the beer for free from his brewery and bought all the wine and liquor from Costco (then had professional bartenders serve). The venue was pretty expensive in the sense that it was just the space itself, but it was so worth it for the backdrop of the Capitol and the city lights. But related, it probably helped that we cobbled everything together rather than had some packaged per head price like many other places do.

Happy to share any of the specifics if anyone is interested![/quote]
