Let's talk about average costs
Before you begin, always remember to have a rough budget of what you are going to spend. In a past blog we shared some tips for planning your budget.
During the first half of 2022, the average cost of destination weddings organized by YucatanLove was $52,200 USD.
This cost includes banquet, beverages, cake, photography, video, flowers, lighting, music, transportation, planning ….. and more! The number of guests ranges from 50 to 200 people and there are Haciendas that vary in cost as they can have several events on the same day.
Weddings $35,000 to $45,000 dollars
A wedding at Hacienda Tamchen with 50 guests, including banquet, tents, a delicious cake, flowers, professional photographer, transportation (remember that many Haciendas are outside of Mérida), music, drinks and a few extras, costs over $35,000 USD.
Remember that when planning your wedding budget, you must consider your wants and needs, but also the needs of your guests.
