Clinton wedding bill will be $ 2 million

On July 31, Marc Mezvinsky and Chelsea Clinton could be exchanging vows. The Clinton wedding is getting a lot of attention, thanks to a big pricetag and bigger names as guests. The location of the wedding has been kept very secret, but it is rumored to be planned for Astor Courts.

The small information of the Clinton wedding

With a guest list of just more than 500 people, including numerous former heads of state, Chelsea Clinton’s wedding is certain to be a large affair. The people involved with the wedding, though, are keeping their collective mouths shut. You will find a couple of information that have been found, though. The mother of the bride will be wearing Oscar de la Renta. The wedding gown will be made by Vera Wang. The guest list includes friends of the family such as previous British prime ministers and Oprah.

The cost of the Clinton wedding

The big news of the Chelsea Clinton wedding is the cost. Though official figures have not been released, estimates are that the price tag will be about $ 2 million. The venue, which is a previous Astor Estate, will cost $ 400,000 to rent. Catering from “a wide collection of blue-ribbon area restaurants” is estimated to cost about $ 1,500 per person. About $ 250,000 could be spent on flowers. A less glamorous price tag is the security — expected to run between a quarter and a half of a million dollars. Former President Bill Clinton has said that his job is to “pick up the bill and lose 15 pounds.”

Criticism of the wedding?

There are some commentators who are calling the wedding of Chelsea Clinton and Marc Mazvinsky conspicuous consumption. Some wonder if Marc Mazvinsky and Chelsea Clinton’s wedding is a reserved affair, or if they’re just showing off. The recent wedding between Carrie Underwood and Mike Fisher cost about half a million dollars. Kate Middleton and Prince William will probably spend $ 5 million or more on their wedding.
