Total is around €95k about $110k. Adding other miscellaneous costs (wedding dress, suit, paying for close family travel) we are spending around $145k total.

We did all the planning ourselves and hired a coordinator who will take care of everything two months leading up to wedding and day of. Feel free to ask questions, best part of Spain is that there is truly a range of vendors. Can find great vendors for affordable prices, but can also splurge and find people that cater to BBB.
