YOUR WEDDING BUDGET

Every wedding budget is different.  Brides choose different ways to enhance their ceremony.  Several wedding budgets have been averaged here to give you an example of what other brides have spent on their special day.  Remember that your ceremony is a personalized event created by you and your groom.  Be flexible with this sample budget, and be sure to include my live piano music for your celebration!  See the Planning Tips page for money-saving ideas.
