How much should you budget for a small wedding? That depends on several different factors such as the locations, number of guests, what you include (like cake, photography, flowers, seating), the number of service hours and any other inclusions. We will help explain what to expect to pay for a small wedding in Colorado.

Note: Below are starting prices. ⬇️ Your actual package depends on the venue/destination (permitting fees), gondola tickets, number of people standing up with you (if any), seating (benches), more florals, extra time, additional desserts, etc. Should you self-solemnize or BYO officiant, you can deduct $350.
Items to budget outside of the package are travel (flights, lodging, car), attire, hair/makeup, and dinner. We guide you along the way with quality recommendations from past couples. If you are working with a certain budget, please let Wendee know.
