[Skylarr29]

At first I misread your post and I thought you said your FLORAL budget alone came in at over 21K. I was like OMG, how much flowers are you having! Glad to know that was for the whole wedding!!

 

[orangetiggs]

Hi Sarah,

I'm really worried about my BEO now. If you don't mind me asking, out of interest what food did you go with and what price have they quoted? Also what is your cake price coming out at?

 

[orangetiggs]

food is 107pp then pre reception is 14pp cake is 11:50pp 50 min!

we are changin the cake and pre reception

we have a duo plate of chicken and filet

 

[orangetiggs]

there is alot of extra stuff that i put on in the heat of the moment and is coming off straight away

 

[B2B-2008]

What kind of extra stuff, chair covers etc?

 

[orangetiggs]

no thats in the floral! dont have that yet

10 ficus trees, tulle canopy, 15 extra guests thats all i can think of, oh 2 extra outdoor speakers for the patio is like 250

 

[B2B-2008]

I have four weeks to wait for mine, I know we are going to go over the $10,000 just for the basic things we want.

 

[orangetiggs]

i was expecting 20-25k so i'm not surprised to be honest, i will work to get it to around 8000 without floral

 

[B2B-2008]

Good luck. Let us know how you get on and what your final choices are.

 

[orangetiggs]

oh will do, did you do that thing i pmd you??

 

[October Bride]

Am i right in thinking that you are not given the costings when you go out for planning session?
I was hoping we would have a good idea of costings by the time we got back

 

[cseca]

Good luck dear!!!
I'm in the same position and so far I can't get it any lower than $17000 total with floral... sigh...

 

[orangetiggs]

yes no costings at the planning session! We added everything we wanted then we can take it off

 

[Keira1387]

I'm in the same boat too! I wish they would tell you cost when you go to the PS! It would make it alot easier.

 

[pink_tink8i8]

original! i have just shaved $11000 of it by cutting things we added in the heat of the moment! thats without floral though!!!

That's so fantastic. Way to go

NO PRICES How on earth are you meant to know what you can afford????? - oh I see now - you choose the things you really really like and then when you get your price breakdown sent out they think that you will try your hardest to pay for all the things you want because in your mind you have already chosen them - very cheeky BAD DISNEY !!!

edited to add - what is a BEO?

 

[orangetiggs]

banquet event order, it lists everything you want and the order of the day.

We are cutting our budget, disney are really good at working to your budget
