How do you plan a wedding with a budget of $10,000? Is it possible? Where do we cut costs?
A lot of factors can affect your $10k wedding plan. How many guests are you planning to have? That will be a significant factor to consider and take into account. Your choice of venue and food serving will also greatly impact your budget.
Set your non-negotiables and prioritize those. For the rest, approach with an open mind and explore possible creative options – this is where you can cut costs.
But, anything is possible! For $10k, here are the things that you might want to consider:
- Cocktail-style wedding instead of full dinner (packaged appetizers are also a good idea!)
- Shorter wedding reception, perhaps 4-5 hours only
- Minimalist bar *or DIY bar station* (signature cocktail)
- Set up your own playlist and entertainment
- Rent a small studio or buy out a restaurant (instead of a venue/banquet) with in-house chairs and tables that allow events (where you can also bring your own speaker!)
- DIY easy and affordable centerpieces
- Pre-arranged wedding flowers
Your guest list will be a great factor in how much you will be spending. If you can slash your wedding guest list as much as you can, you will find more savings.
