My daughter was married in the middle of the pandemic. It was very small—about 20 people.
It cost us about $4k including venue and dinner.
Best wedding I had been to in decades.
My daughter has done discount wedding planning. She recently did one for over 100 people for just over $5,000.
Big super expensive weddings are a joke. Spend the effort on your marriage instead.

My daughter was also married during the pandemic, in a private ceremony. Thank God. They were truly meant to be married, not cohabiting.
We held a large reception later, when people could attend. It was about $35,000. Our family is far flung and does not have regular reunions. I felt it was time to show the youngest generation the importance of God, marriage, family, especially for the little ones whose parents were not religious. In our family, if I did not do this, the only time we would all get together would be when someone dies. It was a gift to the couple and to our family that we gave because we could. Not everyone who should get married can do this, and there should be no stigma if you don’t.
