Brides, you have told me over and over that the budget question is the most important one for you. So what does it cost to have a wedding in Bali ? What are the real cost components ? So how to budget for a Bali wedding ?

Let's look at the various cost that will let you make a budget for your Bali wedding. Excluded from this article are the cost of travelling to Bali and cost for accommodation. So we will only look at the budget for the wedding day itself and costs that are relevant to the wedding day.

All-inclusive wedding packages

 

If you buy an all-inclusive wedding package then many services such as venue fee, décor, priest will already be included in your package. Those packages are usually rather inflexible and you will have little or no control over your budget for a Bali wedding.

Be careful when comparing packages because sometimes one package includes more services than the package of another venue / vendor.

For example one package may have makeup & hair styling already included, another one not. Or services such as photography can be very different from one package to another. One may have just a photographer during the period of your ceremony and all the unedited photographs on disc.

Another package may include a photographer for several hours and also an album with edited photographs.

Some packages will have a glass of champagne for the couple for the wedding toast included. Other packages may just give you a fruit juice. And there are many other details can vary from package to package.

Many hotels / chapels have become ‘creative’ with their packages and offer you a cheap looking package that only includes the very basic services and once you have purchased the package they will try to sell you many add-ons which you may or may not need.

So, my advice to those buying a wedding package is to ask questions until you a very clear of what you are buying and if everything you require is included.

 

Bali wedding budget

 

With  over 50, 60 guests at your wedding in Bali and a reception dinner your cost for food & beverage will probably be the biggest portion of your budget for a Bali wedding.

If you plan to have your wedding in a chapel that is part of one of Bali’s 5 star hotels then you should consider to have your reception/dinner outside. That can potentially save you a lot of money.

I recommend that you do not book your wedding directly from a chapel or a hotel/resort. Better book from an independent wedding company. Doing so can help you reduce your budget for a Bali wedding.

So ladies, if you have 'budget problems', then cutting the guest list or looking for cheaper dinner / reception is the first thing to do.

If you do not choose such an all-inclusive package then read on and learn about the various cost components for your wedding in Bali.

 

Cost of the Venue

 

The first thing to consider when planning a budget for a Bali wedding is your venue. Choices abound with over 300-400 possible venues and places for you to get married in Bali.
