THE TWO MAIN CAUSE OF EXPENSIVE NIGERIA WEDDINGS
If you have done your wedding budget and you are scotching your head on how to bring cost down, here are the two main areas to cut and your wedding budget will drop like magic.
1. Your guests list (this is the main cause)
2. Your venue.

FIXED WEDDING COST: With weddings, there are cost that remain the same co matter the number of guests you have- such as DJ or Live band, MC. Some other cost such as venue, food and drink) increase based on the number of guest you have.

VARIABLE WEDDING COST: the number of guests you have is the main thing that increases a wedding budget and determine how much you will spend bon venue and food. For example:

WEDDING VENUE: you pay by how big/small the venue is. Some halls have big hall and small hall and each has the maximum number of guests it can accommodate- more money for bigger wedding halls. some locations generally have expensive wedding venue.

WEDDING FOOD AND CATERING: the more guest you plan to invite, the more plate of food your caterer would charge you, and the more food you have to budget for.

With PERFECT BUDGET we can make you spend less and have your dream/desired wedding with our any of our packages.
