5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book!, January 22, 2001
By Desiree D. Doucet "desidou" (Atlanta, GA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I recently purchased this book and it has been a GREAT source of useful information. Madeline not only tells you ways to save money when planning, she gives her readers an idea of what you should really spend your money on and where you can afford to cut costs. There are also specific examples of how couples have planned their weddings on a budget of only $3000!! In addition to all of this information, Madeline stresses the importance of setting your "goals" for your wedding to determine what is most important to you and your fiancee' so that you can decide how you would like to spend the money in your budget. I would recommend this book to ANYONE who is planning a wedding.

2.0 out of 5 stars 350 pages in length, 50 pages in content, January 9, 2004
By Gordon Wong (Cambridge, MA United States) - See all my reviews
I downloaded this book and read it in about 90 minutes. Its not poorly written, but I found it to be very low on substance. I would say I only found about 5 cost saving tips that weren't immediately obvious and I've seen those same tips on wedding websites. The 3 case studies of low budget weddings weren't relevant to what most couples (in the North East) would be experiencing. In my opinion, the author is using oddball cases to support the idea that her advice will save you money, when in fact the weddings referenced would have been frugal anyway.

Overall, I'm very disappointed in this book. I rate it better than a single star in that its not a bad reference book if you know nothing about weddings. However, all of this information could be found on the web with little or no effort.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, "user friendly" guide to an affordable ceremony., September 4, 2000
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
The Budget Wedding Sourcebook provides numerous hints and choices for making the most of a wedding budget, from the initial planning of a budget and locating unique honeymoon sites which are affordable to working with wedding consultants and finding great deals on gowns, flowers, cakes, and photos. An excellent guide to an affordable ceremony.
