💸 Average Wedding Cost in Poland in 2025
Let’s rip the band-aid off: the average wedding in Poland for 100 guests in 2025 costs anywhere between 50,000 PLN to 100,000 PLN, depending on your style, location, and how much you really want that donut wall.
But here’s the good news — Poland is still considered one of the most affordable European countries to get married in, especially compared to the UK, Germany, or Scandinavia.

🏰 Venue Prices: From Barns to Ballrooms
Poland offers everything from rustic barns in the Mazury region to romantic castles in Lower Silesia. The most popular option is the per-guest pricing model, which usually includes the menu, service, tables, and basic decor.
💡 Estimated cost per guest: 200–500 PLN
➡️ For 100 guests, that’s 20,000–50,000 PLN.

Planning a destination wedding? Many venues offer full weekend wedding packages with accommodation and spa options. Yes, please.

🍽️ Food, Booze & Midnight Snacks
Ah yes — the true star of any Polish wedding: jedzenie i wódka.
🥂 Alcohol:
Traditional rule of thumb? About 0.5–0.7L of vodka per person, plus wine and prosecco. Budget around 2,000–5,000 PLN depending on your drinkers.
🍲 Catering:
Buffet or plated, Polish cuisine never disappoints. Most venues bundle this into the per-person fee, but if you're outsourcing or going high-end, expect extra.
🍩 Don't forget: the midnight "stół wiejski" (rustic snack table) is a guest favorite and typically costs 1,500–3,000 PLN.

👰 Dress to Impress: Bridal & Groom Attire
Polish brides love elegant lace, boho flow, and sparkles that scream “I said yes.” Custom dresses start around 3,000 PLN, with designer options going up to 15,000 PLN+.
Grooms have it easier (and cheaper): suits range from 800 PLN to 4,000 PLN.
💡 Pro tip: Consider renting your outfit or buying pre-loved — your wallet will thank you.

📸 Photos, Films & Forever Memories
Wedding day memories deserve more than just iPhone pics. Invest in a photographer who sees more than just light — they capture emotions, chaos, and stolen glances.
🎥 Videography + photography packages in Poland range from 5,000–15,000 PLN.
And trust us — when you're old and grey, that video of your dad crying during the first dance? Worth every zloty.

🎶 Music, Lights & Party Vibes
Whether you're going with a DJ or a 7-piece folk band, music sets the mood.
🎧 DJ: from 2,500 to 6,000 PLN
🎻 Live band: from 6,000 to 20,000 PLN
✨ Add lights, fog machines, or even a saxophonist for extra flair.
Want the ultimate party? Hire a wedding MC (wodzirej) — the Polish way to keep the energy high from start to finish.

💐 Flowers, Decor & the Wow Factor
Your Pinterest board is full of hanging florals, fairy lights, and vintage mirrors, right?
🪻 Wedding decoration budget: 3,000 to 40,000 PLN, depending on your level of “wow.”
🎨 Floral arches, custom neon signs, and installations cost more — but they live rent-free in your guests’ memories.
Polish couples often splurge on:
- Ceremony arches
- Centerpieces
- Floral photo zones
- Suspended ceiling florals

💍 Rings, Cakes & Other Musts
💍 Wedding bands: 2,000–8,000 PLN (depending on material, engraving, and... sparkle level)
🎂 Cake: from 800 to 2,500 PLN
📜 Legal fees: minimal for Polish citizens, but foreign couples may pay 500–1,000 PLN for translations and apostilles

🧠 Smart Ways to Save Without Sacrificing Style
- 📆 Choose an off-season date (November–March = up to 30% cheaper!)
- 🌿 Go green — repurpose ceremony flowers at the reception
- 🧁 DIY dessert table or use a local bakery
- 📷 Shorter photo coverage (just ceremony + formals)
Bonus tip? Invite fewer people. Your budget will stretch, your day will feel more intimate, and Aunt Halina can’t complain if she wasn’t invited... if she doesn’t know.
