What's cheaper, an all inclusive wedding, or renting venue and hiring several vendors?

It really depends on the type of wedding you want to have. My husband and I rented a location and then brought vendors in that we liked. It takes a lot of planning and a wedding coordinator(not a planner) is probably beneficial so that you don't have to run the show on the day of. We loved our wedding though, because we got to get our favorite food, flowers, decorations, etc and didn't have to sacrifice a thing. We also did a wedding for 300 people and an awesome honeymoon for less than 10,000. P.S. I highly recommend going to cheapcaribbean.com and booking your honeymoon in the Riviera Maya of Mexico. We went to the Dreams Riviera Maya and it was outrageous.
