What’s your wedding budget breakdown? Share your story with us for a chance to be featured in a future installment of Millennial Marriage: cnb.cx/32TYZ2K
$1k for my wedding, party of 3 (including our dog). $90 for the venue. But that was our preference. We were saving up for our first house, plus I didn't want any family there to stress us out lol. I'll have to make a video about it on my channel, hmmm.
Excellent job, guys. We also spend around $10,000 on our wedding including honeymoon and ring as well. My mother donated her ring to my wife. I believe the average cost for a wedding in Korea is around $50,000 as well. Since my wife and I are Christian, we got married at a church building. It is a lot more expensive to get married in a wedding hall. I honestly don't understand why anyone hates to get married in a church. I think a wedding hall is at least another $10,000 more. This is how we paid off our one bedroom home in the state of California before our kids were born. Yes, our one bedroom home at Lake Forest, CA. Since I did not get accepted to Stanford and went to Berkeley instead, my parents paid off their home at Irvine, CA. I believe the average 3 bedroom home in Irvine, CA is under $300k during the 1990's. In 2020, I believe Berkeley is cheaper than Stanford by under $300k.
@@NefariaAdventures I am sorry that your friends and family are not happy for you. Maybe, you made the right decision not to invite them. Is there any hope for any reconciliation?
I got married for $250 at Circus Circus in Las Vegas. The rings were maybe $100, bought downtown in the wholesale jewelry district of LA. I had just finished my doctorate. We sold all our possessions and took the money to travel around the world for 3 years. It was awesome. Wouldn't exchange that to host an event.
Best way to do it ever! I know a couple that had a 35k wedding. The husband wanted to have a cheap beach wedding but the wive had something to prove towards her family. They were broke and miserable after the wedding because they used all their savings.
That sounds wonderful! We went to the courthouse with two witnesses ($237) and had 3 honeymoons. One local, the other two in different countries. Ten years later it's still working out.
Sooo it was a budget because they work in this industry and had connections? I would have liked something that showed what more people could do to make their wedding affordable
Right. I feel like asking people to donate their services feels a bit tacky to me. Everyone deserves to get paid for their trade. Especially since the wedding industry took such a big hit, I’m sure those vendors could’ve used that $.
@@lacasavloga3997 since they are in the industry I would assume they will also be sending folks their way for business 🥴🤷🏽♀️ but yes people should be paid for their services
Everyone here wants a cheap wedding. I want a big wedding with all my friends and family. I think you should do what suits you. But shouldn't be judged for wanting a big wedding either. It's a culture thing too. It brings all your friends, family and community joy and closer together. You get to celebrate your love and bring so much joy. A special day with good food, beautiful clothes, dance and song, flowers and gifts, color and sweets and family and friends.
I think it's fine as long as you can afford it. People that ask others to pay for their plates, expect vendors to give them freebees. go into huge debt or give up their house deposit are concerning
Weddings are unnecessarily expensive due to venues and vendors overcharging. I spent $1k on my wedding, party of three lol (including our dog). Bridal makeup was advertised as $160, but a regular full face of makeup was advertised as $70 - there's no difference between the two, but places know they can charge 2-3 times the prices when they throw in the word "wedding" or "bridal".
What I liked about this the most is that they leaned into their resources and asked for help. I had a non traditional wedding in 2014, so many offered to help us make it great. Our wedding was a two day event that cost us $3k and had approx 80 guests.
Very happy they only spent 12.5k on the wedding instead of 40k. 40k invested would grow to $160k by the time the child is 18, enough for college, to start a business, and more. Don't throw away your child's future for a wedding day. Don't do a second wedding. Put that money towards your own and child's future.
They keep acknowledging covid but any crowd footage shows people right next to each other & no masks....So you should really add on the hospital bills to the cost of this wedding.
That’s still way more than I would spend on a wedding, but as long as they didn’t go into debt to pay for it, good for them. The fact that they want to do it again in 2021 is a bit much IMO-that money could be put to much better use. But like I say, as long as it’s their money....
This is not impressive #s for any one who has a brain and can do simple math. Their 5 course meal averaged to $272 per person and the total wedding expenses averaged to $545 per guest. That's a lot to me. I hope Graham Stephan reacts to this video. I would love his thoughts.
Hmm so you had help from your parents and still paid $667 per guest at $12k. For $40k people usually have 150-200 people, that’s $200-$267 per head. We had everything listed for our wedding but paid no where close to the “real value” these guys listed lol. Their value at $40k is wayyyy offf
Yes!! Please do more budget wedding videos. My husband and I had no connections but were able to do an immaculate wedding in Estes Park Colorado for $14,000. We had everything one could want at a wedding and it was at the base of Rocky Mountain national Park. Please focus more on ways that couples can cut costs!
Is 12k considered small for a wedding? My wedding in total cost around 14k and I considered it my “big” dream wedding. Around 200 guests. Buffet food. No DJ but a great playlist with great speakers. Pretty poofy white dress. Photographer and videographer. I was planning to spend less but costs add up, but I consider anything over 10k a lot. I’m from Ontario.
depends on when and where you got married. The average cost is 30k and about half of that is catering/venue costs. A buffet is cheaper than a food drop.
Spent $300 on our wedding. 200 out 300 was for the food we got for 9 ppl, 100 was for my dresses. Didn't get rings right away cuz we're aware of the diamond industry. Waited for 1 yr to get rings made out of recycled metal. So $700 on rings for both of us. In total, $1000 package.
We were going to have a cruise wedding in March. 2 days before we were supposed to set sail, Cruise lines were paused. Our families and friends ended up helping us plan a wedding in central FL for less than $2,000 and I wouldn't have had it any other way.
Because of covid, none of our families could come to the US. So it was just us and one witness. Got the rings of Etsy and reused clothes we already had. We went to eat well afterwards. Total maybe 250$. We're still planning on some sort of celebration after all the pandemic situation is over tho.
Love this!! We have a friend that enjoys baking. We asked her to make our cake. Another friend who enjoys photography, she took our pictures. Another friend made my dress. We found a restaurant that is open for brunch only on Sundays, and asked if they would stay open for a couple hours after. They agreed. We used the floral table arrangements they already had out for brunch. We asked the flamingo guitarist to stay after brunch and payed him for the background music and asked him if we could use his mic and speaker system for the wedding. Because we got married at 2 in the afternoon, we only did a champagne toast, no other alcohol. The marriage took place within the restaurant in front of a beautiful water feature. The guest could choose from 3 light meals. A pasta, salad or gourmet sandwiches. 60 guests $4000 was our total expenses for a beautiful wedding in Ventura CA!!💕. It can be done!
I think that's great. It's the people that demand freebees from friends or expect a gift after getting the freebee that I don't like. But I was in a DIY wedding years ago. Cousin's backyard, dresses from Kmart, close friends and relatives brought things like salad and bread rolls, cousin put on a bbq and the couple's expense and provided wine and beer, slab cake from a bakery with some flowers. Not sure how much it cost but pretty cheap
We spent like 6k on our wedding including dress decor everything, had the reception with 50 people at a friend's backyard. Did the reception with 200 people at my husbands church gymnasium so we did not pay for a venue. we borrowed decor and or bought them second hand from Facebook marketplace. Got a taco truck and fed only thr 50 people at our wedding and just served cookies sweets from Costco plus wedding cake to the other 200 at reception, no alcohol, just sodas and my brother in law dj'd for free. reception was 2 hours and all cleaned up by 10pm. So grateful we didn't spend an outrageous amount on literally less than 1 day of our marriage
Excellent job, guys. We also spend around $10,000 on our wedding including honeymoon and ring. I believe the average cost for a wedding in Korea is around $50,000 as well.
LOL I did my entire wedding in Canada for 32k, 190 guests. While I know a bride who has been waiting to get married and paid precovid JUST FOR A VENUE FOR 34K 😂 they aren’t allowed to break their venue contract because they’ll only receive 30% back if they do. Weddings are a rip off. Best advise to save money on a wedding is not to spend money on real flowers, just order silk bouquets etc. Most companies let you keep them afterwards
So I think they did fairly good except for the food costs… Until I saw at the end they are planning on throwing a bigger wedding later this year... I don’t see a reason for it tbh, your potential guests, understand the circumstances... no need to try and prove yourself
I got married last year it was epic and expensive. I make $35k in two weeks while trading so I couldn't bother spending somewhat $40k above. I don't regret it.
If they're going to have Millennial Money Marriage episodes the next steps should be Millennial Money Child Bearing episodes followed by Millennial Money Divorce episodes. Considering the statistics, you could have the same couples for each of these versions.
I wonder when they had the wedding and how they were allowed given that restaurants were closed? Out door seating I guess? Maybe they had connects with local government officials?
Asking friends to donate is fine but not everyone can do that and not every vendor rightfully so, is willing to work for free or wants you to set the example to ask them for free. Plus they got family help to hide the true cost. I'd also be a little worried about getting married so pregnant. What if you feel sick on the day or don't want to stand that long or if there are complications?
Spent zero on photographer yet $2k on engagement ring. Oh well. Glad that I'm not having same brain like them. I'm planning to get married overseas, hire decent photographer, get a cheap ring ans travel a lot. No wedding party maybe just a nice dinner with our families to celebrate.
What’s the question here? It’s normal for a couple to announce “they” are pregnant or expecting. Of course she is carrying the child but she didn’t get pregnant on her own.
@@diamondanderson7294 things can be normal and trendy but not accurate, that's what I'm saying when u get a massage and get charged up the therapist don't say we got charged up even though he/she charged u up

$12,000 for an 18 person wedding (plus the couple and the kid) is still $570 per person. That would come out to over $80,000 for 150 guests.
Every family has a person who breaks the chain of poverty. I hope you will be that person!

I got married for $2,400 at a resort in Mexico!! Well done you two!
They found love in a coffee shop, it’s hard seeing other people living you dreams

Im from the Boston Area currently planning a 20k wedding for about 9k and actually finding ways to lower the cost
1st tip guys, PAPERLESS INVITES.......trust me

weddings must be very expensive in the US...we did a 4,000 USD wedding with 450 people in 2014
Where?
$200 was the ACTUAL price for her HAIR!
😍😍😍this video got me emotional

12,000? No, thanks. In Covid times they could have spent way less than that.
Living in Santa Barbara is expensive
That duster😻
I liked it and the face mask to go along.
Awww this kind of reminds me of Alexis and Serena’s love story
it`s really hard to guess who rang the alarm bell?really really hard.
Getting married in Las Vegas. Probably spending 18-20k for a 185 people.
Pandemic did not happen days after March lmfao don't try to rewrite history to avoid backlash
@cnbc: Allmost very minute commercial advertisement?
Graham will go to town on this one
original 6.5k for the videographer? then they just shot on some iphones??! nahh
Nice work 🌠✨🎆
Now do divorce
Why would they want to do a big wedding? This looks gorgeous!! Maybe a vow renewal but they def. got a lot of value out of there vendors.
Invites were pretty. I’d feel bad running it though a shredder. Send me a txt or email to save money
Lol
that's tacky. But I see nothing wrong with electronic invites
I wish I could have a wedding in Santa Barbara...
Can’t wait for Graham to see this!
I love a shotgun wedding!
NO WAY she is 28!!! NO WAY!!!! More like 40 or even older!!!!!!!
dude in 10 years is going to regret it.

I wonder when they had the wedding and how they were allowed given that restaurants were closed? Out door seating I guess? Maybe they had connects with local government officials?
it says they had 18 people. So maybe the restriction was that venues could cater to less than 20 people
Our wedding was also in SB, $25k 50 people, so this video is nbd.

2k is a pretty cheap for a ring
They spent zero on photographer because the person was most likely their friend.
9/10 chance that is not his kid. This is soooooooo pathetic
thats a cheap wedding in india , people here spend about 50- 70 k on a wedding
in India they invite the entire address book and it's a multi day event. But I would assume the whole family pitches in.
