How much did your wedding cost when it was all said and done?

Just wondering how your wedding costs compare to mine. 1. Total Cost of your entire wedding, include honeymoon if you had one 2. Your general location (state or city, if you want) Just for fun!

    According to the WW budget, we spent 76,463.78. That doesn't include tips though. With honeymoon it's over 100k. I don't have the totals yet though for the cruise. We took my aunt and uncle and our daughter. So it was less honeymoon and more 2 week vacation.

    Edit to add that the wedding was for 300 guests.

    Seattle area, 120ish guests, and we are probably going to end around $25k.

    Northern England - wedding was around $45,000 all in. But that included our international flights. With honeymoon and engagement ring included, probably $65,000.

    Southern New Jersey- $7,500 for an all exclusive wedding of 60 people, no honeymoon. Our honeymoon will be a family trip to Disney for your one year anniversary (FH lives near there so they can take the kiddo a night or two so we can get in some one on one time together.)

    All that being said I disagree with the way websites do wedding budgets. Should you really include your engagement ring, honeymoon, wedding dress and items that directly benefit you? Because after all, most people divide by the number of guests and end up with this exuberant amount which in reality it really was not concerning per guest. The end bill is of course a reality!

    We will probably end up at around 30k if you include engagement ring, honeymoon, and the whole wedding. We are in St. Louis with a 200 guest wedding and a Caribbean honeymoon.

    I'm with everyone else in the $25K range. Splurging on some things and saving a lot on others.

    I think we are near 7-8k. We never really had a set budget. I was hoping we wouldn't spend more than 4K but oh well. We are in Southeasern Kentucky. We are expecting around 100 guests.

    We obviously haven't had the wedding yet, but I am planning on not spending more than 5,500 and only 3000 for the honeymoon (which will be over to New York City) so I guess 8,500 total.

    Should be about $20K..I aimed for $18K, knowing it would bump up (and it did). 140ish guests. Not counting my rings and honeymoon.

    Total spending for wedding stuff was around 6k. We haven't gone on our honeymoon yet, but when we do, it won't be more than 2k. I'm in the Houston, Texas area.

    Thanks everyone. It looks like most people spent between 10K - 20K on their big day.

    @Lucy: My question had nothing to do with the amount of guests or the amount spent per guest. I asked how much you spent total on your wedding, which yes would include honeymoon, rings, dress, etc. If i had asked what you spent per guest, then no that stuff wouldnt be included. I asked for a total.
