My fiance and I found our perfect venue. Location, style, theme. We've both been unbelievably excited. Imagine hobbit themed garden wedding. We even extended our budget by $5,000 to accommodate this place.
Mind you, we found this venue two weeks ago and were given prices last week. After crunching the numbers, we scheduled a meeting with the manager and found out we were provided the wrong pricing sheet. All of their prices sky rocketed.
Venue was $3,000, it's now $9,000 Food was $65 pp, it's now $85 ppThe lodging was $800 a night for an 8 group rental, it's now $1950.
Our previous total budget was $25,000, but with this increase it will end up being over $40,000. (I removed attire, transportation, wedding baby sitterand even unmarried people's plus ones to lower the cost to $40k.)
Here's the kicker, our wedding is now for 60 freaking people. 😭
I'm not mad at the venue, they became popular rather fast and increased there prices based on demand. But boy am I sad.
My fiance and I feel so defeated from this. I'm trying to not lose momentum and also keep the future hubby interested but Im struggling! (I shouldn't have bragged to friends and family when i previously did, lesson learned.)
I would love some words of encouragement, stories that relate or even ways to justify doubling our budget lol
