FAQs

What is a realistic wedding budget for 300 guests in Pakistan?

The worked example on this page comes to PKR 3,113,000 for 300 guests — PKR 650,000 venue, PKR 840,000 catering at PKR 2,800 per head, PKR 250,000 photography, PKR 400,000 decor, PKR 120,000 makeup, PKR 350,000 outfits, PKR 120,000 entertainment, PKR 100,000 planning, plus a 10% buffer of PKR 283,000. That is about PKR 10,400 per guest.

What is the biggest wedding budget item?

Catering and venue, together just over half the total. Catering is usually the single largest line because it scales with every guest you add: at PKR 2,800 per head, each extra 50 guests adds PKR 140,000.

How much buffer should I keep in a wedding budget?

Keep 10–15% aside. On a PKR 2,830,000 plan a 10% buffer is PKR 283,000 — enough to absorb the late additions that reliably appear: extra guests, menu upgrades, overtime and transport.

Is this wedding budget calculator exact?

No. It is a planning estimate, not a quote. Its purpose is to let you approach vendors with a guest count and a number already in hand, so the quotes you get back are comparable.
