It just depends on what you're willing to live without. Maybe your family and friends can do the cooking in someone's back yard? Maybe an enthusiastic friend loves music and would like to DJ your reception? You'll have to get creative or that $4K will run out FAST!

We want to have a very laid back wedding, yet do not care for the amount of the wedding to be obvious ...My fiance and I love each other very much and we want our friends and family to share in our joy of becoming man and wife...yet that totals around 100 people...we're getting married on the beach, which cuts back on the ceremony fee, yet our main issue is the reception...the biggest amount. How do we have our dream wedding with our budget? My fiance and I have a budget of $4,000.

In the end, we decided on a romantic 16 person wedding on the beach and spent about $800 including the reception! It felt good saving $69,200 :) Best, RB Rich By 30 Retire By 40 I actually budgeted about $70,000 for our wedding last year (paid for by us as we didn’t want anybody to pay).
