Chelsea Clinton’s ‘wedding of the year’ to cost between $3m to $5m
By ANITuesday, July 27, 2010
NEW YORK - Chelsea Clinton’s wedding with fiancee Marc Mezvinsky at a posh private estate 90 miles north of Manhattan, is estimated to cost at anywhere from 3 to 5 million dollars.
The hotly anticipated, highly secretive affair has been called the Wedding of the Decade and of the Century.
“I don’t think we’ve seen a wedding with this much attention since Patricia Nixon,” the New York Daily News quoted Donnie Brown, a wedding planner featured in ‘Whose Wedding Is It Anyway?’ as telling the Style Network.
“This will definitely be the biggest wedding of the year.”
But this is different from your garden-variety superstar wedding, experts concur.
This union includes world leaders as well as Oprah.
“It’s bigger and more important than a celebrity wedding,” added celebrity event planner Diann Valentine.
“It will certainly be the most influential of setting trends. If anything becomes public knowledge it will immediately set a trend,” he added.
If you’re crunching the numbers, at a budget of 3 million dollars and with 500 of the former First Family’s nearest and dearest in attendance (that’s the anticipated count), it comes out to 6,000 dollars a head.
Brown says they have probably spent more than 150 dollars apiece for the invitations. (ANI)
