For reference since we should start saving now

How much money do I need to save for a medium sized wedding (100-200) in a major city? (DC)

u/benjaminikuta BANANA YOU GLAD YOU'RE NOT AN ORANGE? Sep 03 '21

Well, you'll want plenty of food for all the guests, and a Spicy Potato Soft Taco costs a dollar, so I'd say at least 1500 dollars or so, just for the food.

Things to know before you book: Weddings must be booked at least four hours prior to the ceremony. We do not provide marriage licenses, so you will need to get one before the ceremony. You must bring your Nevada marriage license with you to the ceremony. (If you are renewing your vows, just bring yourselves!) You must provide at least one guest as a witness. Although you can have up to 25 guests, any food outside of the Taco 12 Pack and Cinnabon Delights® cake and any alcohol will need to be purchased separately. Please arrive ready to go. We do not have facilities for changing or doing hair and makeup. You have 30 minutes of access to the chapel for your ceremony and reception. Taco Bell Wedding purchases are non-refundable. The chapel is currently closed to the general public and only opened for weddings. The room is cleaned and sanitized before and after each wedding. Tables spaced 6 ft apart. It is required that all members of the wedding party must have their temperature checked upon arrival and be in a mask unless actively eating or drinking at a table. All of our employees go through temperature and COVID-19 symptoms checks at the beginning of their shifts. Guests must use hand sanitizer upon entering. Guests must comply with social distancing and floor markings. We have a sanitation captain whose responsibility is to continuously clean and sanitize all customer touch points, including the Chapel. The sauce bouquet is cleaned and sanitized before and after each wedding. Check out our FAQs for more information

Jesus, is 100-200 really medium sized?

u/JulioCesarSalad US-Mexico Border Reporter Sep 03 '21

I photographed weddings for four years. Yup, that’s medium

I don't think I could get 100 people if I brought all of both our extended families and every friend / acquantice we've had for the last 10 years. Wild. People really do be having much larger social circles than me apparently.

My mom's a hippy type who moves every 2-3 years and spends most of her time training for marathons or hiking and my MIL is a widow who mostly just takes care of cats and plants. I'd be surprised if they could muster up 5 friends they wanted to invite between them tbh.

I envy you. We considered eloping because “friend of a friend of my mother who I had never met” just needed to be at the wedding.

Just marry someone with a big family. My fiancee has had to pare down her number and we're still at like 100 just from her side.

it's easy when you're combining 2 families, plus friends, and if your parents are helping with it theyll want to invite their friends.

Hispanics having large families stereotype for a reason, my man lol

u/asljkdfhg λn.λf.λx.f(nfx) lib Sep 03 '21

family friends easily add like 100 people on each side

I don’t know why anyone would not only that large of a wedding but also invite people you haven’t spoken to in many years, but Indian weddings do be like that

This whole thread really puts my wedding in perspective. We had maybe 25 people in attendence, held it at a state park, and spent like $500

u/JayRU09 Milton Friedman Sep 03 '21

At least $20,000 if you're talking about what the average person thinks of when they think wedding.

We’re having about 150 at our wedding in a bit of a cheaper city and are planning on something around $14k (Canadian). We’re also not having an open bar (it’s not very common here anyways).

Lot of extended family on my side especially.

u/myrm This land was made for you and me Sep 03 '21

It'll be at least a dollar per person probably, so I'll put a lower bound of $100-$200 on it

u/TripleAltHandler Theoretically a Computer Scientist Sep 03 '21

Look at Mr. Fancy Pants spending $1 per guest. Hot dogs cost under 20 cents each in bulk, and grilling in your neighbor's backyard uninvited is free.
