FAQs
How much does a wedding cost in Pakistan?
Adding the low end of every category in the table below gives roughly PKR 1,150,000 for a 300-guest function; taking the high end of each passes PKR 6,750,000. A mid-range 300-guest wedding works out at about PKR 3,100,000, or roughly PKR 10,400 per guest. Venue and catering alone are just over half of that.
Which wedding cost should I calculate first?
Catering, because it is the one line that scales directly with your guest list — at PKR 2,800 per head, 300 guests is PKR 840,000 before anything else is booked. Settle guest count and per-head rate first, then venue rental (PKR 250,000–2,000,000+), then photography, decor, makeup, outfits and planning.
How much should I budget for a wedding photographer in Pakistan?
Wedding photography and film runs about PKR 100,000 to PKR 700,000+ in Pakistan. The main drivers are team size, how many functions are covered, and whether albums, reels, drone footage and a fast delivery timeline are included.
Can Jashn help compare wedding vendors by budget?
Yes. Jashn's city, category and event pages show starting prices and package inclusions where vendors have published them, so you can shortlist against a number rather than a guess, then send one enquiry with your date, guest count and budget.
