Wedding cost guide
What wedding costs covers
Most wedding bills come down to the venue, supplier time and the extras you book. Two providers can describe the same wedding differently, so compare the pieces rather than the headline total.
Because two providers can describe the same wedding in different ways, ask each one to break the total into the same line items before you compare them.
Choosing a vendor for wedding costs
Ask whether a licence or registration is required for this kind of work, confirm it with the regulator, and request proof of insurance before work starts.
Ask for two recent local jobs you can call, and read the written scope for what it leaves out as carefully as what it includes.
The things that move a wedding costs price
The guest count, the date, the venue and how many suppliers are involved.
Where you are matters too: outlying areas add travel, and dense cities add access and permit overhead.
Ways to keep wedding costs costs down
Collect two or three written quotes and compare them line by line instead of on the bottom line, then ask what the price would be for payment in full.
When the work can be scheduled, moving it out of the busiest season usually lowers the bill. Ask whether a bundle or off-peak rate exists.
