Holy Moly! Anyone else surprised at how much weddings cost?

View Quoted Comment We got our venue 50% off for choosing an off season month—only had to spend $1k for the venue 😎 it’s also a small venue though and we’ll be expecting a max of 50 guests! The average venue within 30 min of where we live is definitely at least $3k+ but we were shocked to find out how inexpensive the one we got was! We live in central Virginia though

I really had to idea how much venue and catering is. My fiance and I are SAVING SAVING SAVING because we feel there will be a huge spike in pricing in 2023 and after with so many people having to post pone. It's sad.
