Top 5 Affordable Destinations For Your Wedding in 2021
Weddings are the most festive events of our lives. We all love celebrating love. What can be more beautiful than seeing love happen? However, budget will eventually need to be taken into consideration when planning a wedding. You may be dreaming of a stunning ceremony with your loved ones, but want to also make sure you stay within a decent budget? Want to save some funds saved for the honeymoon as well? Sounds great, but have you considered to have a… destination wedding?
Wait, isn’t it really expensive?
First things first: destination weddings are not necessarily as expensive as you might think. As any in-country wedding, expenses for a destination wedding may depend on various factors. How many guests would you like to invite? What is the chosen venue? How much would you like to put towards decorations and other details? Every couple has their own answers to these questions which define the approximate size of the budget. The bigger (in all aspects) the wedding, the bigger budget the newlyweds would need to have.
Even though a destination wedding may not be your first thought when you are planning a wedding on a budget, you may want to reconsider this idea. Having a destination wedding might actually make the best of your money and feel like every cent was well spent.
Costs of the classic ballroom wedding
You should consider that a nice ballroom wedding has menus starting at 120 EUR and up to 200 EUR per person, and that is just for food, drinks and some minimum decorations. And we all know those basic decorations that are the same in literally every wedding that takes place in that venue. Ughh…it seems like it’s nothing new, exciting or memorable. And have we mentioned it’s only for one night? One very long and tiring night, in which you’ll most likely have little time to enjoy your own party or share the happiness with your new partner. You’ll most likely find yourself spending most of your time trying to catch up with all your guests and keep everyone happy.

Greece
Greece is objectively one of the most popular destinations for the wedding, hence, the prices might often be higher than the budget you have planned. However, you can choose to celebrate your special event outside of the most expensive touristy destinations, like Santorini or Mykonos.
Expand your search towards other locations, such as Thassos, Corfu, Athens Riviera or Halkidiki, and you will be pleasantly surprised. Greece has so much to offer and many of its places are highly underrated when planning a wedding in beautiful Elada. Why not tie the knot in a hidden gem of a Mediterranean paradise at 290 euro per person per package?
