Cost Saving Tips for Indian Weddings

  • Consider a weekday event instead of weekend for lower venue costs
  • Opt for seasonal and local ingredients to reduce food costs
  • Limit the number of dishes in your menu rather than having an extensive spread
  • Choose a venue that allows outside catering to have more options
  • Plan your event during off-peak wedding season (March-June)
