The honest baseline
A full wedding for ~100 guests around Omaha typically runs $35–60k, with venue and catering as the two largest line items by a wide margin.
Where to invest
Photography, food, lighting, and a planner or day-of coordinator. These are the things every couple says they'd spend more on in hindsight.
Where to save
Favors, oversized floral installations, late-night second meals. Guests rarely remember them.
The hidden costs
Service charges, gratuities, taxes, and rental delivery. Ask vendors for all-in numbers.
