Asian weddings are a rinse.

A small wedding is 400 people.

400 people at £20 a head for decent food is £8k

Hall for 400 people is between £4k and £10k.

Outfits add on atleast £5k.

£23k down and you havent factored video, photos, car hire etc.

Oh and this is 1 EVENT.

You want a fruit table? £500 to £1k
Food stalls like chaat/samosas/drinks £250 to £300 EACH.
Flowers? £500 min
Centrepieces for table? £50 per table, 400 people 8 to a table is 50 tables £2500
DJ? £1k+
4 String Quarter? £1.5k +

I did an excel spreadsheet for my wedding, that included every single cost I could think of and trust me, the end number was sickening. I will upload it one day.
