Our wedding, which is also taking place this year, will cost a very similar amount - despite different cost blocks. Catering, however, is (probably) similar.
We're not including a honeymoon, but we haven't planned one yet (my partner's employment contract ends shortly after the wedding).
Thanks for the breakdown!

@KevinC seems to be the standard. Ours will probably cost a bit more, but in the end it will be similar. @Koenigmidas The tips for the DJ and photographer are very useful 👍

@DonkeyInvestor According to my Excel (I can't help it... I have to remind my girlfriend from time to time how much she loves me anyway), the biggest cost item is probably the guests 🙃 or their number. That's the only thing where you could really save money (in theory).

@KevinC We already have a few set screws. BBQ with burgers and beef or just pork? Cocktails or just beer and wine? Finger food as a welcome drink or coffee and cake? ...?
At least that's what my Excel list says 😅. Or just celebrate as a couple. But my wife is against that.

@DonkeyInvestor We only have one caterer in our area that offers a relatively large selection of vegetarian options (many guests and my partner don't eat meat). There are buffet menus from 40 to 60€ plus 19% pp.
We bring our own drinks with a drinks trolley and provide the caterer with them (beer, wine, juices, soft drinks, I think some kind of long drink), but the glasses alone will cost quite a bit.
Coffee and cake on top, logistics staff for set-up and dismantling and 3-4 service staff. Decoration, DJ,...
Photographer and one of those dress-up boxes (I can never do anything with them, but I have to 🤷♂️ ) are luckily available for free. I'm still trying to find a cheap alternative to the stupid chair covers.

@KevinC Okay, you take care of a lot yourselves. Not us 😅. We looked at a location, they take care of everything except the decorations, wedding speaker, DJ and photo box. We just have to say what we want. That's it 😎. To be honest, I don't feel like taking care of much. Of course, that can also cost a bit

@KevinC We kept the costs down because my wife did most of the decorations herself. And we only had a small dessert and a cake buffet (16 cakes) but half of it was left over.

@DonkeyInvestor dj would have been even more expensive. And the photographer was the wife's wish - I don't think much of photos, there are cheaper ones...

@KevinC If it had been up to me, there would have been even more people. In terms of cost per head, it just depends on the offer. And in terms of the individual listings, the bar was the sticking point. I can give you a few individual listings later

@KevinC for us the price per person was 59.3€ plus 19% drinks, which is the biggest margin our red wine costs 8€ in the store and the location charges 22€ we also had a veggi buffet. We did without Stuhlhusen.
