  • We do not recommend that you get the cheapest vendors, mainly because the price dictates the quality of the product and service. Save up, get a pricier vendor and you will be more than satisfied with the outcome.
  • NYC wedding prices are 27% above the national average so keep that in mind when doing your research and reading the breakdown below. And although elopement weddings are overall much more affordable than large, traditional weddings.
