We are coming in under budget right now. We set a budget we thought we might be able to work w/ and it's been great. My fiances parents are actually paying for our flights down there and our accommodation. That saves us $2500 right there. But our wedding in right on the beach and then our reception is in a large Palapa on the beach so I don't really need alot of extra decor cause we have such great scenery. The most expensive part is our reception venue, food, linens, sound system (main reception parts) which actually comes in just under $2000. Our location doesn't have a specific package which is kind of nice.... I think its coming in cheaper and I get everything I want!
