Polish couples trim wedding expenses by limiting guests and opting for overseas venues

Rising inflation and energy prices are prompting Polish couples to scale back wedding celebrations. Many are reducing guest lists to close family and friends, organizing ceremonies at home or in modest rented spaces to lower venue costs. Some are looking abroad, citing quicker venue availability and lower overall expenses. Packages for a beach ceremony and dinner for about 20 guests abroad can start at roughly €2,500, including legal fees and décor. Experts advise focusing décor on the table and using simple textiles to maintain elegance while staying within budget.
