Planning a destination wedding is an incredible experience, but the first question every couple asks is: “How much does it actually cost?”

Your budget is highly dependents on Venue, your gathering, geographical location, layout choices, required services, and date of wedding, etc.

Here is how the numbers split by location for a 100-guest headcount, including accommodation (2 nights), custom theme decor, catering, and execution.

This is approx Budget, Actual Budget may be up and down as per choices.

Second Question Every Couple askes. Where Does the Money Go?

For a flawless 100-guest event, the typical budget allocation follows a strict structural framework to prevent emotional overspending

Venue & Room Inventory (40%–50%) This is your largest multiplier. It covers a 4-star, boutique heritage property, or mountain resort buyout for 2 nights, including essential guest meals.

 In-House Décor & Production (15%–20%) Because Guide Events utilizes an in-house décor production team we eliminate the outstation vendor premium. This covers custom theme setups for Haldi, Sangeet, and the main wedding day.

 Catering Enhancements (15%–20%) Per-plate metrics across premium destination properties.

 Logistics & Entertainment (10%) Sound, light execution, local artist management, and seamless ground transit.

The Guide Events Advantage:- Based out of Chandigarh, our localized vendor networks across Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, and Rajasthan allow us to navigate complex regional transit issues—like restrictive mountain entry times in Kasauli—without passing heavy logistical overheads on to you.
