I threw my wedding for 5000 (this included a buffet meal for 75). That total also included my dress, tux rental, so on and so forth. This is in Atlanta too where costs can be astronomical. Your friend should consider a friday or a sunday wedding as the venues will usually charge much less. Also, remember to haggle on the dress. If more than one store carries it, play off each other until you get the price you want. I got my 950 dollar dress for 500 (after tax). Being creative can stretch you a long way as well. We paid a florist for wedding party flowers, cake topper, and arch decorations. We had the wedding in a garden and we made the table centerpieces ourselves. These are great tips.
