How this couple saved $70,000 on their wedding. Would you do this?

No question that for most couples their big day means a big budget, with wedding costing tens of thousands of dollars.

"The biggest price tag is typically the venue, and that accounts for about 37% of the total cost," said The Knot Deputy Editor Esther Lee. But one couple did something to save thousands, but it may not be for everyone.

To cut down on spending, newlyweds Nova and Reemo Styles got creative, thinking of their nuptials like a concert and charging guests to attend their celebration.

"And I said, 'People choose to go to Beyoncé concert, because they know that they're gonna have an experience. Let's put the stress on the guests, and let's sell tickets for a wedding,'" Nova said.

"I was like, 'Babe, people aren't going to come,'" Reemo said.

People did come, but there was also some pushback.

"'I would never spend money on tickets.' 'I don't care.' 'Who do you guys think you are? Jay-Z and Beyoncé?'" Nova recalled.

The tickets, priced at $333 apiece, earned guests a seat on their double-decker bus and a 12-hour adventure in New York City and a very fancy meal..

Their strategy spared them $70,000 in wedding expenses.
