Wedding Budget Guide for 2024-2025 with Epoch Co+
Money can be a tough subject, right? Big or small, a budget is a budget, and no matter how much you have, it can always be a bit awkward to talk about when planning your dream wedding. But you wouldn’t start building a home without discussing the budget though would you? Just like a wedding, setting a clear budget is super important before you dive into planning.
