For anyone planning a wedding in Los Angeles… I’d love to hear about your budget, guest count and venue to see what the real average wedding costs in Los Angeles. Mine is $30,000 for 140. It used to be 200 people but I had to cut them out to stick with the budget. It just seems like everything costs so much compared to other cities.

Here’s a blog post explaining why weddings in Los Angeles are so expensive: http://thecuriouspandas.com/2016/02/19/weddings-los-angeles-expensive/

For people in other cities and states… how much is your budget, guest count and venue?

Have you all been able to stay in budget? If so, how? If not, how come? I’m very interested in learning about everyone’s experiences
