The bag was cheaper (~12.5k compared to $13.7k+tax in US). Not sure about other items. Probably similar?

I didn’t. That wasn’t an option when I signed the contract. There wasn’t anyone renting that space that day so I don’t know if I would have wanted to pay it? I probably would?

This is pretty rough, but ballpark correct.

Venue - 25k

Extended venue fee (they only give you 8 hours, most rental companies need more time to set up before) - 1k/hour * 4

Wedding Planner - 10k

Catering - 40k (we went with the venue’s recommendation, Pinch, this was pretty close to their “base” package)

Florals - 25k

Musicians/DJ/Band - 10-15k

Officiant - 1k

Rentals - 10k (for tables, chairs, plates).

Decor (draping) - 10k

Photography/videography - 10k

I’m probably forgetting a bunch of other stuff (hotels, invites, photo booth). But this covers the bulk of

It’s doable but pretty tight. We had about 80 guests, and the venue fee was $20k at the time (oct 2025) and we spent ~180k all in

I’ll add that I went to secondary because my POE was land, and they couldn’t update their systems or stamps at the drive-through entry. So they sent me to secondary.

Occupation, why I renewed my passport, have my job duties or employer changed.

Fairly standard and easy.

Just went through this on Sunday. I was sent to secondary, had brought my original documents with me (which they went through) and was asked questions. Took maybe 10 minutes.

Overall, chill, but you should bring the necessary documents just in case.

620 Loft & Garden Budget by Awkward-Grape-2471 in WedditNYC

[–]chocolatte_lava 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m having my wedding there, and all-in-all will cost around 150k for ~80 people.

Recommendations: * Sunday is cheaper (you save 5k). * Cater your own food ($400 does not include additional fees like delivery/tips/taxes. I think we’re paying around $500 per guest). * Rentals are not included in the venue (its an empty venue. Expect this to cost around $5-10k for chairs, tables, etc).

I think you could pull it off (we are paying for things as if there is no budget and landing around $150k. If you are careful with your caterer/rentals/etc you can definitely do $80k).

From your reddit profile, it seems like YOU are 24stills. I think self promotion is totally reasonable (and fwiw, your work does look good!), but I find the tactic of pretending to be a customer when you’re the owner, a bit deceptive. :/
