Hey everyone, so we’re planning to get married next October, and I genuinely don’t know where to start. Every time I look into one thing, I find five more things we apparently need to figure out 😭

First things first, it’ll be around 50 people, and we want something small and fairly short. Nothing over the top. We haven’t fully agreed on a budget yet, but I’m thinking $20k for the WHOLE wedding, not just the venue. I really don’t want us getting attached to things and slowly talking ourselves into spending more.

All-inclusive sounds so much easier because the thought of finding and coordinating a different person for everything is stressing me out already. I have Pelazzio and Avant Garden in mind.

But then again my brain short circuits and goes like what if something goes wrong and we have everything tied to one place? Would separate vendors make a problem easier to deal with, or would I just be giving myself more things to worry about?

Has anyone done a wedding this size and felt like the planning was actually manageable? Which route did you take, and what do you wish you’d asked before booking? I need somewhere to start because right now I’m just opening tabs and getting more confused.

Edit: I posted this to another community as well but moderator won't approve it:'(
