Luxury Wedding Budget Breakdown: What You Really Need to Know

Overwhelmed by wedding costs? You're not alone—and we’re here to help.

In this candid episode of Wedding Tips and Tales, Taryn and Dani break down the essentials of luxury wedding budgeting. From determining your true budget “pain point” to navigating priorities like guest count, location, and vendor choices, you’ll gain clarity on how to spend with intention (and without surprises).

We share real examples—from $50K lovely weddings to million-dollar ultra-luxury events—and offer tips on where to splurge, where to save, and how to stay calm when costs start adding up. Plus: what we wish every couple knew before they book their venue.
