FAQs About Wedding Venue
Gorgeous Perth, Western Australia, has no shortage of beautiful beach wedding venues in the area. You can be sure you will have fantastic wedding photos and views when you have an outdoor wedding on the beach in Perth, with the ocean, Swan Valley, and the Darling Escarpment surrounding you.
Generally, plan to budget at least $100 per guest. However, if you're planning a wedding on a budget, one of the easiest ways to reduce costs is to invite fewer people and have a more intimate celebration.
The average Australian wedding costs $36,000. But, according to a Moneysmart survey, 82% of couples dipped into their savings to pay for their wedding. Another 60% got a loan, and 18% used their credit card.
There's no limit to your guest list. A big wedding is ideal for the social butterflies among us! If you have a large family or circle of friends, there'll be fewer difficult guest list decisions and less chance of hurt feelings. It will also be easier to accommodate plus ones and children, so no one misses out.
Depending on formality, go larger or smaller. For a smaller wedding with around 50 to 60 guests, have no more than four, but for a larger wedding of, say, 150, you could go up to 12. Just keep this in mind: More isn't always the merrier.
