Show Notes
Welcome to The Wedding Series, a six-episode series from The Bridal Journey proudly presented by Michael Hill. Each week Andie Towner, founder of The Bridal Journey, and celebrant and content creator Sarah Davoli sit down with the people who actually know how weddings work, the stylist, the bride whose wedding became a business, the money expert, the planner and the marketer, and ask them what they would tell you if nobody was listening.
Today, we are speaking with Victoria Devine, founder of She's on the Money, about what weddings actually cost and who pays for them. We polled The Bridal Journey audience before recording, and one in five has gone into debt for someone else's wedding, so Victoria takes us through what the numbers mean, how to set a budget you will actually keep, how to split it across vendors, how to have the money conversation with parents without it becoming a conversation about control, what to cut first and the line item she would never cut.
