BUDGET

Let’s face it – this is probably one of the most expensive investments you’ll ever have to make. Weddings are costly –that is the reason why we need some kind of indication of the total budget we have to work with. Please keep in mind that the initial detailed budget proposal you receive from us will possibly be way over your budget estimate. We can play around with figures from then on, but it is my duty at this stage of the process to supply you with the BEST.
