[quote=Anonymous]It is a mistake to benchmark like this.

Imagine a triangle where the points are your budget, the #of guests you want and the event you want. Some people the triangle is fine from go but most people have to squish it one way or the other to make it work.

I’m in the industry and I can tell you that the two worst things to do are:
- make the budget bigger than is genuinely comfortable
- stretch your budget to the limit with “deals” or  DIY or volunteers (DIYs of your real skills like singing etc are allowed)

Both will make you cranky and unhappy no matter what happens on the day. Much better to spend less and/or pare back a little.

While I am giving tips the most important thing is that there are always plenty of (dry) places to sit and the second most important thing is booze and the third most important thing is quantity of food.

People often fuss over flowers, music and quality of food but those are much further down the list. Below available quiet outdoor space imo.  And I really love flowers but for sure. [/quote]
