    EVERYTHING! But in all seriousness, photographers and food are eating (haha) up most of my costs.

    Seating

    Okay. Tons of things are obviously crazy expensive. I've started to be very frustrated with people who expect us to be fine with adding random friends for their plus one (we won't allow it) when we calculated thst it's about 100 dollars per guest. At least most things I can actually justify.

    But seating is on a whole new level. We've been looking for benches or chairs to rent for our ceremony. Why are these simple things, even the ones I know you can buy for 5 dollars at ikea, so expensive to rent (those particular ones even got rented out for 4 dollar each). We need chairs for a half an hour and most of the companies came with a quote of over 1000 dollars. For half an hour. It does including set up and take down, but still, it's completely crazy in my opinion.

    I would say flowers. They are the biggest expense of all.

    Is everything an answer? None of the costs really shocked me but I would say catering since the food was the most expensive

    Everything!! Even doing most things myself (and using Michael's 40% off coupons on my DIY supplies) and doing endless hours of research to find the best deal, we are still over what we thought we could get away with spending!!
    (Both of us are very frugal. We dont like to spend money!). We only hired professionals where we needed to hire professionals (officiant, photographer, caterer, hair and makeup) and it's still costing a small fortune!!

    Honestly everything! But definitely the booze through my venue! They’ve amped the prices up a little too much!

    As a photographer i understand all the behind the scenes things that make it expensive. It's so much more than pushing a button!

    Id have to say venues for the question though

    Photography! I love our photographers and they're family friends and gave us a deal but it's still taking up most of the budget.

    I wish Weddings weren't so expensive! I do not regret planning a bigger wedding, and spending the money. But it would be much easier with unlimited cash flow lol

    Traveling - We have to fly back to our hometowns, still within Canada, for our wedding. We're also flying back for one of my FH's cousins' wedding in July as well. With round-trip tickets going for $550-700, the cost is driving me crazy. Smiley angry
