LET'S TALK ABOUT WEDDING BUDGET
At Ethereal Events Co., we understand that every couple has a unique budget in mind. That's why we've created this section to provide clarity on the costs associated with planning your dream wedding. Whether you’re interested in our Signature Package, which covers all the essentials, or our Luxury Package, designed for those wanting to elevate their celebration with added touches, we’re here to help you get a realistic idea of what to expect.
Understanding the Costs
It’s important to note that the number of guests can significantly influence your overall budget. However, don’t be surprised if smaller weddings still end up being quite costly. Certain fixed expenses—like photography—remain consistent, regardless of the guest count. The pricing we’ve outlined here reflects the calibre of our preferred suppliers—seasoned experts who are at the top of their craft, ensuring you receive the highest quality service.
Transparency is key for us, which is why we’ve included a detailed budget breakdown below. We want you to know exactly what it takes to create the stunning weddings we’re renowned for.
SIGNATURE WEDDING
Our Signature Wedding, also known as our Essential Wedding, covers all the main aspects of your special day. However, if you wish to incorporate additional elements, such as a live artist or a pre-wedding event, these will impact your budget. We always ask clients to share their full wedding budget upfront so we can recommend vendors that align with your vision.
Our Signature Weddings start at R550,000, offering an exclusive and seamless experience tailored to your needs.
