A full wedding in Nepal for 20 to 30 guests with food costs between Rs 25,000 and Rs 99,000. Larger functions have different rates, often calculated per plate. Prices are estimates and depend on your venue choice.
Understanding Your Budget
In Nepal, venues often charge per plate for food. This means the total cost scales exactly with your guest count. The tables below show typical ranges.
A small, simple wedding is very affordable. The cost rises quickly if you add outside services like photography or a bigger guest list.
For planning, assume the listed rates as a starting baseline. Contact the venue to confirm the final amount.
- Small (20 guests): ~ Rs 25,000
- Medium (30 guests): ~ Rs 99,000
- Large (200 guests): ~ Rs 55,000 (basic)
- Per plate: Rs 1,200 - Rs 3,500+

When is the Best Time?
Weddings are usually held from October through March. This is the dry season in Nepal. Because it is the most popular time, you must book your venue early to avoid losing your date.
Avoid the monsoon season (June to September). Open-air spaces like certain gardens might have a wet floor or poor access.
