We had a 66-person wedding for $16,000. Our guests danced all night and still tell us how much they loved it.
Briefly

After discovering she was pregnant in 2014, the author and her partner, Sam, decided to marry within months. With the support of her mom and sister, they planned an intimate ceremony for 66 guests costing $16,000. They chose a vineyard with a chapel in their hometown for their wedding venue. The author, who was focused on saving costs, chose a dress for $1,600 and expressed gratitude for family support in managing other expenses. Ultimately, despite the challenges, the day was memorable and perfect for them.
With the help of my mom and sister, we organized a small wedding for only $16,000 in just a few months. It was perfect for us.
Marriage had never been on my bucket list, but we knew we loved each other, and it seemed like the next logical step.
I was so grateful to have someone else take over planning the wedding as I navigated the first trimester of pregnancy.
My parents and my husband paid for everything else, including the flowers, a carriage to the chapel, a photographer, and more.
