[quote=Anonymous]About $5,000-$6,000 nine years ago at the Comus Inn in Maryland (so, not DC, but everyone stayed in DC). We had a small outdoor wedding and brunch for about 65 people. That price covered the venue and food (including a mac and cheese bar) and a tent and my dress and rings and flowers and a ketubah from Etsy and a steel drum band and a photographer/videographer and champagne and Georgetown cupcakes and cakes from Whole Foods (the last two because my amateur pastry chef friend who was going to contribute the cake was ill the week of the wedding so I told her not to worry and ran out and got cakes and cupcakes and cupcake stands the day before). It was a brilliant autumn day (cold, but we *really* lucked out weather-wise).

We took a low key and casual approach to everything, but it ended up being one of the most wonderful days -- probably *because* our approach reflected our values.

The only thing I regret is that there were a handful of people I wish we had invited. I was so focused on keeping the event small and only including people who were genuine presences in our lives that I fear I hurt a few distant family members' feelings unnecessarily.[/quote]
