There is no single average, because it depends mostly on guest numbers. As a rough 2026 guide: elopement USD 1,500–5,000; intimate wedding (up to ~20 guests) USD 6,000–15,000; wedding for ~50 guests USD 18,000–35,000; luxury weddings at famous cliff venues often USD 40,000 or more.
Often yes, especially for small and medium-sized weddings: food, staff, flowers and decoration cost less than in Europe, Australia or the US. Flights and accommodation for your guests are the main extra – which is why many couples keep the guest list small.
Catering and drinks for a wedding dinner typically range from about USD 60 to 150+ per guest, depending on menu and drinks package. Decoration, venue and planning come on top.
