Is a Rp 200 juta wedding "too much"? Dealing with family opinions

We have the budget for a Rp 200 juta wedding (both working professionals, been saving for 3 years). But both sets of parents keep saying it's "wasteful" and we should "save for a house instead."
I understand their perspective, but:
- We already have a house deposit saved separately
- This is once in a lifetime
- We want to host 500+ guests (big families on both sides)
- Quality vendors cost money
Anyone else dealing with family pressure about wedding budget? How did you handle it?
Is Rp 200 juta even that much for a 500-person wedding? That's only Rp 400K per person...
