Phuket Wedding Prices

Getting married in Thailand’s top wedding destination is a dream for many people around the world, but you may be surprised to learn about a Phuket Wedding Cost and REAL Phuket Wedding Prices. Expenses compared to Western countries or Australia are not the same, while expectations for getting hitched in the land of smiles are, in some ways, different as well.

Phuket Island was awarded as the top area in asia by the Destination Wedding Planners (DWP) conference recently. The beaches of Thailand are among the more exotic in the world. Visitors experience Buddhist culture and hospitality, and locals agree that their beaches have something uniԛue which is different from others, and that leaves nothing to be desired.

Many items are relatively affordable in Thailand as compared to the USA, Europe and East Asia. But does it also apply to weddings? What is the real Phuket wedding cost? What is the real Thailand wedding cost? How do Phuket wedding prices really stack up?

Is the Hype about Phuke Wedding Cost True?

At Phuket Weds, the average Phuket Wedding Prices for a ceremony are around $1,500 to $2,000 USD for a full setup or $700 USD for a partial setup. As Phuket can be either a luxury, mainstream or very affordable destination, there is a huge range. Thailand Weddings are usually not as spectacular, lavish, and rich as the government’s Tourism Authority of Thailand would have you believe.

Tourism Authority of Thailand recently stipulated that an average Thailand wedding cost is around 5-20 million Baht. CNN also stated that “TAT reports the total cost of average wedding in Thailand is 10 million baht (about $340,000), with up to 200 to 500 guests over three to five nights.” However this is clearly not reffering to any ordinary wedding, but instead a high class Phuket Indian Wedding Package instead.

If including not only the ceremony but also the reception, an average Phuket Wedding Cost can average around 10,000 USD to 13,000 USD for a full wedding of about 25 guests with all the nice and normal expected features for a beautiful event.

Tourism Authority of Thailand

Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) is a government body responsible for marketing and promoting Thailand’s tourism industry. They don’t account for small weddings because it is seen as merely a drop in the bucket.

Thailand is a stunningly beautiful, exotic destination visited by many British, Australian, and Hong Kong citizens, just to name a few. The crystal clear waters of the seas and lagoons, the gorgeous hills and the lush green jungle areas. It can all captivate your attention and provide for a great value. Nature is free, so yes it is possible to save one’s hard-earned cash yet enjoy a paradise setting for one’s upcoming wedding.


Ordinary Thailand Wedding Costs

Thailand’s wedding can be done without breaking the bank. It is cheaper than weddings in the USA, which costs about around 30,000 USD or Australian at 35,000 AUD on average.

Phuket top-rated wedding planners spend a minimum of 21,500 USD+ with an average of 1 million THB which is one of the highest, more-luxury prices for Thailand Weddings. More mediam prices for a group of 30 at a 5-star Phuket wedding costs 10,000 USD up to 20,000 USD. Or even less than half that minimum for a basic 3-star or 4-star seaside venue.

 

Smaller Thailand Wedding Costs: Affordability

If you are planning to get legally married in Thailand, it is essential to learn that smaller wedding planners charge between 1,000 to 3,000 USD for a simple ceremony and dinner with a small group, or as a Phuket wedding for two. However a legal registration is going to cost an additional 30,000 THB approximately (1,000 USD). Although, most couples prefer to avoid a legal wedding registeation due to that added cost and also the time constrains and extensive paperwork involved.

Most people prefer to come to Phuket for an (we prefer the term affordable) cheap Phuket wedding package or a luxury one with no budget constraints. Here at Phuket Weds, we have a perfect track record in providing both.

Our service can be an absolute lifesaver for couples, ensuring that the planning process and actual event run smoothly at a very affordable rate.
