How much did your wedding cost?

[happily single]

I apologize if this is not acceptable. My dbf has suggested we get married in Disney in october!! It would be a very small affair, only between 4-10 people.

Has anyone had a very small wedding? Approximately what was the cost?

We're planning a small wedding like that but we haven't even talked to Disney yet cuz it's too far out but I can tell you what we have budgeted. A big difference will be whether u do memories (only 4 guests can watch ceremony) or escape (up to 18 guests can attend ceremony). Memories starts at 2500 and Escape starts at 5,000.

This is what we're planning but I'm including some extras...my pricing might not be that accurate but it's what I've researched:
Escape Wedding Pavillion (6,000)
Officiant (200?)
Marriage Liscense (100)
Extra Photography 2 hours (700)
Grand 1 Yacht Wishes Cruise (900)
Dinner at Ohana or California Grill with drinks (1500)
Hair/ makeup (160)
Manicure/ pedicure (155)


For memories extras might also be cake.

Things to add
$200 for Officiant
Hair and Makeup
Whatever you do for meals. We went just the two of us to Victoria and Alberts and then as a group to California Grill the next night but that is truly up to you.

Compared to prices at home I found this quite affordable given the actual experience was far superior to what I could get for that price at home...

We also have a long-running thread called Share Your Budget with tons of budget info. If you start from the end, you'll see the most recent. Prices haven't changed that much from 2013 or 2014.

Disney is pretty transparent with the costs you can find online: https://www.disneyweddings.com/my-wedding-space/dream-wedding-maker/

We got married at the Swan in 2012. We spent about $10k for everything for 53 people. We splurged on our photography ($3k) - for the record.
