I don't think so. I'm currently planning a wedding and while I hope to see the final price is under 30k, it would be very easy to go that high.

Just buying dinner and drinks for 150 people (which seems like a lot, but it's really easy to come up with a list that long) will probably cost you $5000. Then you need another place to put those people and that's another $5000. Then you might want a nice photographer for at least another $2000. Add in music, decorations, lodging, clothing, etc. and you're almost to 30k for a pretty "normal" wedding. Once you start getting higher end food/drinks/venue then the prices go up quickly.

Or you have a barbeque on the beach and spend $200 on meat, with BYOB.
