Weddings on a budget

 

Keen to keep the costs low? Celebrate love without overspending with our handy hints and tips for destination weddings on a budget. Read now.

Your special day doesn’t have to come with a jaw-dropping price tag – with careful planning and help from Perfect Weddings Abroad, you can create your dream day without breaking the bank. From savvy savings on venues to creative, cost-cutting tips, we’ll show you how easy a beautiful wedding on a budget really is.

Keep the guest list small

It goes without saying that when you cut down the numbers, you cut down the costs too. And getting married abroad is often the perfect way to do that. If you think you might leave people feeling disappointed, you could always live stream your ceremony or do a laidback get together when you’re back in the UK for those who couldn’t make it. Don’t forget – it's your day!

Have your wedding and honeymoon rolled into one

With a destination wedding, you’ve got a ready-made honeymoon destination too! Why jet off to somewhere different when you’ve got everything you need for a perfect honeymoon right here? Plus, it means you won’t have to fork out for more flights.

If you’re staying in stunning Cyprus, you’ve got beaches to bask on, picturesque villages to stroll hand in hand through and remarkable restaurants where you can enjoy romantic dinners by the shore. For something a little more adventurous, you could even try snorkelling in crystal-clear waters or visiting ancient ruins that tell stories of the island’s rich history.

You can spread the cost and pay monthly

To secure your wedding booking, you’ll need to pay a deposit of 30% of the wedding cost, or at least £300 (whichever figure is higher) per couple. You’ll also need to pay a £60 per person holiday deposit to Jet2holidays. Then, just like our classic Jet2holidays, you can spread the cost with Pay Monthly^! Plus, as the wedding couple, we’ll give you £100 off. And for all guests attending your wedding, we’ll give them £100 off per booking too or £50 if you're going solo!

Opt for shoulder seasons or outside of school holidays

Getting married outside of peak summer season or the school holidays is probably one of the easiest ways to save money, without forfeiting the sunshine! In Cyprus, the sun shines and temperatures stay balmy, even in the winter months.

Take table favours in your additional 22kg luggage

You’ll get an extra 22kg luggage allowance with your package, so why not make the most of that and pack some table favours? It means you’ll have more time to shop around before you head abroad and saves you spending time and money trying to arrange something over there.

Go for the Classic option

Our Classic weddings start from £1,299* and offer everything you could wish for. We’re talking pre-wedding planning and help with personalisation, wedding day ceremony co-ordination, along with finishing touches like a beautiful bridal bouquet of roses or seasonal flowers and a stylish rose buttonhole for the groom.
