This book was a total waste of money. The elegant weddings cost so little because the brides have family or friends who provide food, liquor, photos, reception sites, etc. If you have an aunt who is a professional wedding photographer, you probably don't need to spend money on a book that tells you to ask her to take your photos. If you don't have family who can provide these services, or you don't want to ask your friends to provide a dish for a potluck reception, then do yourself a favor and This book was a total waste of money.

It should receive zero stars. ...moreJan 29, 2016
This has places where you can write so all of your choices are nice and tidy. The links to blogs are nice. The descriptions of actually weddings that people have had are inspirational and are full of great ideas. All in all I recommend this to anyone planning a wedding on a budget. The "under $5000" limit is more excessive than what most of the example weddings cost.Dec 13, 2015
This is the revised edition of the original and I quite liked it. It's very useful in my wedding planning and I like the spaces the book provides to take notes.Mar 03, 2016
Don't waste the time. Any of the beneficial parts of this book I already forgot, and it wasn't anything that Bridal Bargains didn't say better and more succinctly. DNF.Jun 01, 2010
Very helpful real-life examples for realistic, affordable weddings. Considering buying.Apr 28, 2013
Not a bad book, dated though add the author refers to the couples taping their wedding music. Most of the information in this book can be found online and might be more current.Dec 15, 2016
This book has been the most helpful of the bunch so far. It gives practical advice about cutting corners along with other places to seek help. It even had menu & recipe ideas and song suggestions for our playlists, which I thought was nice since those are two areas I haven't even thought about yet.Nov 29, 2011
The useful info from this book I found to be checklists, budget sheets, etc. I did enjoy reading the stories about couples and their "under 5k weddings."Aug 27, 2007
This is a great resource for anyone who's thinking of having a wedding other than the cookie cutter catering hall wedding. Honestly, this book gave me some hope, though I had to gross up some of the costs as I read given that I live in NYC and this book is nearing 8 years old.Jun 22, 2008
I got a lot of good pointers from this book, but mostly, it made me realize I can have my beautiful dream wedding and not spend tens of thousands of dollars. I was really able put my priorities in line, and I was able to figure out where I wanted to spend money. Still in the planning phase, I at least have a really good idea of everything!Mar 10, 2013
There was a little helpful information in this book, and some good guiding principals about deciding what is important to you as a couple and making sure those priorities are reflected in your wedding and wedding spending. Unfortunately, I don't think I can manage to save money on my wedding by having friends in the California wine business give me cases of wine as a wedding gift, and it's too late to ask any of my relatives to become ranchers or landed gentry so I can have a wedding at their There was a little helpful information in this book, and some good guiding principals about deciding what is important to you as a couple and making sure those priorities are reflected in your wedding and wedding spending.

This books gives a lot of tips on how to save money for your wedding, but most of these tips are things most people can figure out on their own. Instead of giving us ways to truly throw a "priceless" wedding, the author is really telling us how to cut wedding costs by also cutting quality. I would have liked to see some tips on how to do some things myself, or how to negotiate deals with vendors, or something like that.

I would have liked to see some tips on how to do some things myself, or how to negotiate deals with vendors, or something like that. The fact that most of the featured weddings take place at horse barns, pine forests, and at public parks does not help someone like me who is in need of more pizzaz in her wedding. However, the author DOES follow through on her promise to show you how to throw a wedding for under $5,000, so I suppose the title is appropriate advertising. ...moreMar 01, 2016
Kathleen Kennedy has refreshed her book, Priceless Weddings for Under $5,000. She included more content, updated information, and a stylish new cover which features hand lettering by Alane Gianetti. Just looking at the page count, it's over 100 pages more than her first edition which came out in 2000.Jan 07, 2016
A very comprehensive guide to planning a wedding on a tight budget. Kennedy makes it easy to figure out what aspects of a wedding are most important to you so you can focus on those areas instead of spending money on things that don't matter as much to you. I also like all of the spots for note taking, it makes it easy to track wants and ideas for the wedding. The stuff in this book isn't very groundbreaking and it's really easy to find budget-friendly wedding ideas online these days but it is A very comprehensive guide to planning a wedding on a tight budget.

The stuff in this book isn't very groundbreaking and it's really easy to find budget-friendly wedding ideas online these days but it is nice to have everything in one place. I was surprised by the size of this book- I received a paperback the size of a long novel. I was a little disappointed to find there weren't any pictures. Half the fun of wedding planning is looking at pictures for ideas! A lot of the ideas for keeping a tight budget for a wedding are pretty obvious (enlist people you know that are photographers, caterers, etc, to help; borrow a dress from a family member; have a picnic lunch instead of a sit down dinner) but Kennedy does have some good ideas.Feb 08, 2016
About the Book:Feb 07, 2018
I read this a couple of years ago. There were a lot of good ideas in it, some less good than others. It was definitely a worthwhile read, though, especially now that my daughter is planning a wedding for later this summer.Take your time and choose the perfect book.
