How Much Does a Wedding Cost in Bucharest?

Planning a wedding is exciting, but one question comes up almost immediately:

How much does a wedding in Bucharest actually cost?

The honest answer is: it depends.

I've photographed weddings of every size—from intimate celebrations with just a few guests to elegant events with more than 300 people. One thing I've learned is that two weddings with the same number of guests can have completely different budgets.

The venue, the season, the guest count, and the suppliers you choose all have a significant impact on the final cost.

If you're planning to get married in Bucharest, this guide will give you a realistic overview of what couples typically spend in 2026, where your money goes, and which investments will have the greatest impact on your wedding day.

The Average Cost of a Wedding in Bucharest

For a wedding with 120 guests, most couples spend somewhere between €18,000 and €35,000.

A luxury wedding can easily exceed €60,000, while a smaller, carefully planned celebration may cost less.

Here's a general overview:

Wedding Style	Estimated Budget
Intimate wedding (50 guests)	€8,000–15,000
Classic wedding (100–120 guests)	€18,000–35,000
Premium wedding (150 guests)	€35,000–60,000
Luxury wedding	€60,000+

These figures are not fixed prices—they simply reflect what many couples currently invest when planning a wedding in Bucharest.

Wedding Venue and

For most couples, the venue is the largest single expense.

In Bucharest, restaurants and event venues usually charge per guest, with prices depending on the menu, drinks, service, and the exclusivity of the location.

For a premium wedding, venue and catering generally account for 40–50% of the total budget.

When choosing a venue, don't focus solely on the price. Consider:

• natural light

• outdoor ceremony options

• guest experience

• accessibility

• accommodation nearby

• backup plan for bad weather
