Omg, that is exactly what we did too! We were torn between two places- one was all inclusive and the other was a blank slate but gorgeous. It didn’t take much for us to realize the all inclusive would be SO MUCH EASIER and Less expensive

We’re looking at keeping costs down, which means we have to keep the vendors down and DIY a lot for us. We have hired, or will hire 5-6 vendors total for essentials: venue, catering, hair, cake, photographer, and day of coordination(maybe)

Under... 14 vendors seems like a lot to organize. vendors: all inclusive venue includes flowers and catering. photographer,
friendors: alcohol is being donated by our bar owning friends (praise the lord cause our friends can drink!), hmua, cake, dj, officiant, and invitations.
8 total and that is a lot to handle for me.
