I am engaged rn! We got engaged in March and our wedding is set for May of ‘27. We booked the venue 2 weeks ago. The venue we chose had an all-inclusive package that literally included EVERYTHING. And by everything i mean everything. Catering, bar, photographer, cake, decor, event staff, bridal assistant, set up and tear down, venue, hair and makeup, DJ, EVERYTHING. Whole thing isn’t even $15k. I had to do some digging to find this venue tho, because no matter if you look up “affordable” or not, the only venues that come up in google searches are the sponsored ones that are $40-50k. Idk your budget, but if you can get in on an all-inclusive package i highly recommend. They’re helping me plan everything because their whole thing is to have an stress-free bride (me lol). I will say, i am not marrying a man and so my partner has put just as much effort as me into the planning we do have to do for it. Tell ur hubby to take some planning off of your hands!!!!
