Budgets

Below, you’ll find 3 budgets from real Israeli weddings. All of the weddings included here took place within the last 2 years.

One took place in the greater Tel Aviv area, one in the greater Jerusalem area, and one almost exactly halfway between Tel Aviv and Jerusalem.

These budgets are for reference and should be taken as ballpark estimates, in order to give you a better idea about what ranges you can expect to pay for different elements of your wedding.

The costs for your Israeli wedding depend on a few elements: day of the week, season of the year, number of guests, your negotiation skills. For more about pricing, see here.

Real Wedding #1 – 220 Guests

Something a bit unusual about Real Wedding #1 is that the venue charges separately for the venue rental and catering. The vast majority of Israeli weddings do not charge separately, but a few do. For more on pricing at Israeli wedding venues, see here.

Real Wedding #2 – 100 Guests

You may have noticed that even though Real Wedding #2 has only 100 guests, it is not significantly cheaper than the other weddings – in fact, the price per guest is actually higher for this small wedding, and that’s often the case for small weddings in Israel. For more on small weddings, see here.

Real Wedding #3 – 315 Guests

This bride splashed out on a luxury dress rental for the night – and you also may notice that because she had a large number of guests, she ended up with a cheaper price-per-meal. For more on finding the right Israeli wedding venue, see here.
