What a wedding actually costs

One guide per trade, per city. Each one carries the going band, what each tier of spending actually buys, and the handful of things that genuinely move the number — written for the trade rather than copied between them. Where a city has listings on LetShoot, the band is read from what those businesses have published rather than estimated.

Cost guides

Wedding Photographer

₹15,000 – ₹1,50,000 per wedding

For the main day. Multi-day coverage is quoted per day on top of this.

Wedding Videographer

₹20,000 – ₹2,00,000 per wedding

Film only. Most families book photo and film from one team and pay a combined rate.

Marriage Palace

₹600 – ₹1,400 per plate

Per guest, food and venue together. Multiply by your guest count for the real number.

Banquet Hall

₹30,000 – ₹90,000 hall rent

Rent for one session. Catering, decor and DJ are separate here, unlike a palace.

Wedding DJ

₹12,000 – ₹1,20,000 per function

One night. A sangeet and a reception are two bookings unless the quote says otherwise.

Bridal Makeup

₹8,000 – ₹60,000 for the bride

One look, on the main day. Family members and extra functions are charged separately.

Mehndi Artist

₹3,000 – ₹25,000 for bridal

Bridal hands and feet. Guests are quoted per head or as a package for the function.

Wedding Catering

₹500 – ₹1,500 per plate

Per guest. This is the number to multiply by your guest count — and the biggest line in most budgets.

Wedding Decorator

₹25,000 – ₹3,00,000 per function

Per function. A haldi setup and a main-day stage are two quotes, not one.
