Wedding Reception Info/ Costs etc.

[mango_chow]

Hi Everyone,

This is a request from those of you who have gotten married within the last year or those of you who have had a family member who has gotten married recently.

It can be very overwhelming to plan a wedding and fulfill all the requirement required for a wedding reception.

If you don't mind sharing, could you please give some reviews as well as costs incurred for a particular venue, photography, decorations and catering services including the number of people catered for? Advantages/Disadvantages? Recommended vendors? This would help in acquiring a specific idea of the realistic prices for having a reception that includes a particular number of people.

Also if you had a planner, how much did having a planner cost and was it worth it?

I hope that this would be helpful to those who are considering having a wedding reception.

Thanks in advance.

try CrewsInn. Had my wedding there, venue cost was 5000 but food and drinks has to come from there. Their food was excellent and the place was nice. Only problem is if it rains way too heavily on the day.

I looked a Pier 1 but the cost was a bit too exorbitant.

Another one I tried was Hilton Hotel which was a lovely venue but we eventually settle for Crews Inn.

Cater for a lot of random costs. Most money was spend on decorating and food and drinks.

What's your budget if you don't mind me asking

[mango_chow]

40 grand.

If you don't mind, what about photography? Any vendors you can recommend.

[VexXx Dogg]

how many people u catering for?
bride and groom attire outside of that 40k?
40k is a simple wedding now.

whats your location?
recently went to a reception in Arima new gov't and i understand the rental is quite cheap, but no a/c
spacious hall, stage, parking, washrooms

[mango_chow]

Yes attire is out of it. Looking for venue, food and decor.

[pugboy]

you need to know how many people approx. and food also
food can be a huge cost
vegetarian curry might be cheapest

[mango_chow]

220.

[pugboy]

220 is certainly not a small wedding

that is $181 per head total....

think food, type of booze per head etc

That's a very difficult budget to work with

[janfar]

My 100 person wedding cost about 90k. Unless u plan to feed people cheezees then u need to reduce your guests or increase your budget.

Tips: get a bar on consignment... You can return what you didn't use. My bar ended up costing 5k.

Do your cooking yourself if you can... Caterers will dig out your eye.

Try to get a venue that doesn't come with food. They usually jack up the price per plate and there won't be seconds.

[javishm]

yea boi locations that you have to take decor/food etc from them is a killer

[Chimera]

a great location is Genspec auditorium

i think it was 15k for rental, can hold 300+ people and you get chairs/tables with the rental

basic tables and chairs but you can simply rent the chair covers from a wedding decorator

had my wedding there earlier this year

what kind of wedding you having tho?

convert to a hindu brisk brisk, you will save on meat/alcohol costs.

[janfar]

Pah... convert to Jehovah's Witness and you can save on everything.

40K for 220 ppl...that's gonna be rough. Mine was 110 ppl and that was about 90k.

[sharkman121]

Mine was at Magdelena Grand. Once the guests fill 10 rooms you get the venue free. Try an cut down the number of guests. I had about 85 ppl and cost about 50 grand.

forget bartenders
put bucket of ice on table and 2liter soft drinks
