FH and I just attended the bridal showcase for our favorite venue so far to see if we like all the included vendors enough to book the all-inclusive package (catering, open bar, cake, limo, dj, photography, flowers all included). While we were sold on the vendors, there were some upgrades we would like to add on and I just feel like everything is adding up and getting too pricey. Although it's still within our budget and still very affordable for a Long Island wedding, I'm starting to get "that's a lot of money for one day" feelings that I wasn't really having before. I'm starting to think going with a "bare bones" venue with a low rental fee MIGHT be the way to go, but I've heard that things can add up very quickly and end up being even pricier and obviously a lot more work is involved. Looking for opinions on which route you went and why, or any regrets in either direction?
