It’s no secret that the ‘Teen Mom’ stars get paid for filming the show. What wasn’t known up until now is that MTV dedicates a part of the budget to certain events that take place in the lives of the cast members.
One of those important life-changing events was everyone’s wedding day.
Not everyone gets to have a lavish wedding ceremony but with the help of MTV, some of the ‘Teen Mom’ stars spared no change when it came to designing their own perfect day.
Jenelle and David Eason
Although she is no longer a residual cast member, Jenelle really did enjoy the perks of being a ‘Teen Mom 2’ star, as she and her husband David held a wedding ceremony for the books.
It was reported that the wedding cost MTV upwards of $25,000, it was a rustic backyard-themed ceremony with more than 25 attendees.
Reportedly, Jenelle’s wedding dress cost around $3,000 and it’s for a reason too.
It was a french-inspired designer dress made by Martina Liana.
The wedding also featured an open bar, a DJ booth, and a lavish wedding cake.
Maci and Taylor McKinney
Maci’s wedding was captured on camera thanks to an in-house team of photographers and also MTV’s own team.
“…after eight years I’ve gotten used to the cameras being around and on a day like that, I know with everything else going on they’ll be like a fly on the wall,” Maci said of MTV filming her big day.”
It was rumored that MTV had given the couple a $10,000 budget for their wedding.
Maci’s dress alone must’ve cost at least $2,500, while the rest was spent on the reception itself.
And boy, was it a flashy reception.
Chelsea and Cole DeBoer
Chelsea and Cole decided to opt for a more private version of the wedding ceremony as MTV cameras weren’t allowed. The wedding ceremony was held back in 2016 and it was a private event for friends and family.
The only thing that MTV managed to film was the selection of their wedding venue.
Catelynn and Tyler Baltierra
Tyler and Catelynn had one of the most awe-inspiring wedding ceremonies in ‘Teen Mom’ history.
It’s not just because it was an extravagant ceremony, it’s because of the emotions that slowly set in during the main ceremony.
Their wedding ceremony was held at the Castle Farms venue in Charlevoix, Michigan. The venue itself cost an estimated $15,000 and that’s not taking into account other fees and expenses the couple had in the process.
It’s not entirely out of the realm of possibility that their wedding ceremony cost an estimated $50,000.
Debra Danielsen
Farrah’s mom is famous for well, being Farrah’s mom but she had her own five minutes of fame. MTV didn’t get to film the wedding but it was held at Omaha’s Henry Doorly Zoo and Aquarium, Nebraska.
Debra’s reception must’ve cost more than $10,000 just for the venue itself.
