We share with you the top 3 tips on how to budget for your Los Angeles wedding! Weddings can be expensive and we all can use a little help from someone that have planned hundreds, so what are these top 3 tips for saving money on your wedding, you ask?

1. Don’t be afraid to ask for a custom quote. Many wedding vendors will have the cookie cutter packages to present you when you inquire. However, all weddings and client’s needs are so different. The presented package that you are offered might look similar to what you may need but doesn’t quite fit the bill. Ask the vendor to see if they have wiggle room to replace or remove a service for a custom or negotiated quote.

2. Shop around! Like A LOT! Do we ever go visit the first home and say, “YES, I’ll buy this house!” No, we don’t and we shouldn’t! Take a look at at least 2 or 3 different vendors from each category to see if you are the right fit (mentally, emotionally and financially) for each other. You’ll come to realize that you vibe with one the best. Wether you click mentally or financially, the vendor you choose will be worth the money spent for their services.

3. Elope or have a micro-wedding! There was never a time where you didn’t love that elopement or micro wedding picture you saw on instagram. That can be YOU! Obviously, the more people you invite to your wedding, the more it’ll cost. On average, a Los Angeles wedding will cost around $350-$800+ per person you invite. So imagine what your bottom line would look like if you had a micro wedding for 20 guests.
