Church Wedding Budget Planning

19 Oct Church Wedding Budget Planning

   
Generally, a church wedding does not require as much budget allocation as a traditional Indian wedding ceremony does. One of the main advantages of a church wedding is the venue rental.

If you are a church member, you may get a 20–30% discount on the venue rental. Some churches do not even charge any venue rental for their members! Check out the following budget lists we’ve prepared for the groom and the bride of a church wedding.
