How much does a wedding cost?

As a caterer I get these phone calls and the only question asked is how much does a wedding cost. Well first I ask can I get some information on the type of wedding reception you will be having and the caller says I just want to know how much a wedding cost. Okay I would be happy to give price ranges and I quote prices for seated dinners 28.00 - 50.00 for food , and 15.00 - 25.00 for bar prices for a 4 hour event, and then for a cocktail reception I start giving price ranges. Some people just go I will get back to you. Many callers start to answer my questions for example how many guest, what style of reception ,seated dinner, cocktail party, food stations, afternoon tea and on and on. Then the venue if it is a home with a tent needed, one of the preferred venue we are in , a park etc. Also I ask what type of food they would like and this is were I get an I idea where to go with the food budget. This way I'm getting information and giving information to brides or mothers of the bride. I try to make sure that they understand I'm willing to meet with them and go over every detail of their wedding reception and then be able to design a menu that fits their needs and budget.
