The Wedding of Your Dreams on a Shoestring Budget

The author gives great advice on cutting the bills and keeping the frills. For example, our wedding looks like it cost the average $20,000+, but it is only costing 7,000 or less. The book is extremely detailed and gives step by step instructions and ideas on the wedding from start to finish. I really got a lot of use out of the wedding checklists, the recipes, and the suggested vendor list. I've read it cover to cover a few times and have found this resource to be *Extremely Helpful*. I've only bought one wedding planner book - THIS ONE! :)

Terrific ideas... great planning solutions!

This book is a must read for brides like myself who want to have a truly elegant wedding but do not have a large budget. When I began to plan my wedding, I was discouraged by the high prices from vendors. I needed to know how to save money without compromising quality. Deb McCoy taught me how to do this! My wedding was beautiful and it did not cost a fortune... Thank you Deb!

An outstanding, must-have book for any engaged couple!

As a bride with a very limited budget I read this book from cover to cover and marked almost every page as having information I'd need along the way. Although some of it did not apply to me at all, the tips and suggestions given certainly inspired me to "get creative" with how things should be done. Thanks to this book I feel like my wedding will be the one I've always wanted, without breaking the bank! Thank you, Ms. McCoy, for showing that elegant does not have to mean $$$$.
