An upper middle-class wedding on the coasts at any venue goes for a minimum of 30k. A really cheap wedding is just having in your back yard with a keg, but I don't think the OP is talking about that. A nice wedding with all your college buddies, looking at 100k.
- icedchai 8y agoI had a cousin who had a wedding costing 250K+.
- thaumasiotes 8y agoThere are only two good reasons to do that: - You earn your living based on social connections to rich people, making the wedding a business expense. - $250,000 was pocket change that you happened to have on hand. If you had to save money in order to pay $250K for your wedding, that was a large and obvious mistake.
- icedchai 8y agoWell, my uncle / her dad paid for it. Her dad is very wealthy (likely close to $10M USD net worth.) The sad thing: she got divorced 3 years later.
- quirkot 8y agoI assume you people are all in the heart of San Francisco or something, but that is still legit insane. [edit] Also, I don't think you can still call a wedding "upper-middle class" if it's 6 digits. Holy moly. I'm shook
- gamblor956 8y agoAn Indian wedding in Southern California can easily cost $120k+ given the number of attendees, the sizes of the venues required, the food, the white horse...
- monksy 8y agoThat's a good idea. Kegs are about $160/170 if you get the good stuff.
- anoonmoose 8y agoYeah, I dunno about that. I'm in the middle of planning a wedding at a nice theater [1], catered, open bar, with a band, for 150 people, and even if we run 50% over our current expected costs we'll be under $30K. New England if that matters. [1] https://www.pinterest.com/palacetheater/royal-weddings-at-the-palace/ https://www.pinterest.com/palacetheater/royal-weddings-at-th...
