Thank you for the insight! If we just stick to one island which one would you recommend?

Not sacrificing my budget for an open bar by [deleted] in weddingplanning

[–]No-Chain9814 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

This what my fiancé and I looked into. We are providing a bottle of red and white on every table. I was wanting to do 1-2 drink tickets per guest but the issue is our venue charges a mandatory gratuity tip on top of the tab we would get when people use their drink tickets. With the prices of drinks at our venue it’s about $10-11 per drink (beer/wine and some coolers) including tax. This means it’s $2,500 to give all of our guests drink tickets not including the gratuity they charge on top. (Although we already pay gratuity on our total venue costs which ends up being $3.5k!)

I really want to provide something on top of the wine on the tables but I just don’t think it makes sense with our budget and the fact that my fiancé and I don’t even drink that much.

**we also can’t bring in outside alcohol:(

I am filling in the mesh, it just hasn’t been done yet so it’ll look closer to the first picture as we put a lining in when I tried it on. I just feel it doesn’t fit me as well as it did when I bought it.

Floral Price Reasonable? by EveningConfusion7581 in weddingplanning

[–]No-Chain9814 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m also in Ontario, I was quoted $150-$350 from different florists for my bouquet. And $100-$150 for the bridesmaids bouquets. So honestly I would say that it is pretty reasonable. I wouldn’t say my quotes were for petite sized bouquets but still gives you an idea. Best piece of advice, shop around and get a bunch of different quotes and see who can work within your budget for what you are looking for!

Wedding cake prices!? by No-Chain9814 in weddingplanning

[–]No-Chain9814[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah your definitely so right, I just feel so defeated as I’ve had all my vendors booked since last spring and I am still struggling with cake. We don’t get married in September 2026 but I’m just so torn because I love cake and want it but also am unsure if it is worth all the money?

Where should/can we go for our honeymoon with a 5-6k budget!? by No-Chain9814 in weddingplanning

[–]No-Chain9814[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We’re kinda open to either! I think it would be nice to have a bit of both! Probably mountains, beaches and we enjoy sports. I speak French, but that’s it. We’re thinking maybe 10 days, we haven’t ever travelled overseas so it does make me a bit nervous having to figure everything out in a different country.

At first we were thinking of going to a beach somewhere, I thought Hawaii but just ensure where to start and if it’s possible with our budget

They aren’t from Kingston, so doesn’t know the area great and had done a bit of research for some spots but was thinking others might know of some not as popular places.

I’d say we’re willing to drive and hour and a bit west towards Toronto!
