Wedding planning budget optimization help

Im planning a wedding in Texas (need help finding a venue but open to anywhere in TX with outdoor space and that’s not rustic) for 120-150 people with a $75000 budget and want tips on the best ways to stretch/optimize my budget and to find a wedding planner that can help with strategizing how to maximize my budget and not just spend it on standard preferred vendors. If anyone has any specific wedding planners in Texas that are great and budget strategy and customizing things or how to find a planner like this, that would be great! Otherwise, I’d love any tips/recommendations on the best ways to optimize and stretch a $75k budget to make it look nicer than it is, including areas where we can do DIY things or negotiating or any ways to save money. I know nothing about planning a wedding and don’t have many people to ask for recommendations so anything is appreciated! Also, I can’t find a venue that works for us and have no connections to help with planning so I will definitely use a planner and will probably have to use a full service planner since I need help finding a venue and want personalized vendor recommendations. Let me know what your ideas are! (follow up: i’m fairly good at DIY projects/design and my fiancé and his dad are both in home building and very good at building things so I’d like to use that as much as possible.) submitted by /u/unluckyducky0 [link] [comments]
