In Reply to: Wedding Costs? posted by cre8ive on Friday, 12. February 2010 at 21:45 Bali Time:
Find another wedding planner and give them the budget you would like to spend.
Weddings in Bali can still be reasonable if you don't use the up market places to have it, there are loads of nice places to have a wedding without that price tag.
A wedding in Oz wouldn't cost $30,000US for 40 people not even at the finest place. You could do a lot more with that money than to spend it for one day, unless you are really well off, but if you were you wouldn't be asking the people on the forum.
I wish you luck.
