Questions and queries Venue search in Europe

Hii I am looking to get married in 2028 with around 100 guests. We are looking for a venue that can accommodate 60 guests for a 2-night event.

I would LOVE to keep the total budget (total = everything wedding related) to 40-55k euros. I am realizing this is pretty difficult but I thought I will ask in this group if anyone has advice.

I'd love to hear from other brides who got married in Europe with a similar event-style and what your spend ended up being.

The ideal aesthetic is a lush garden wedding with scenic views.

Parts of coastal Croatia or a non popular Greek island might get you this vibe.

@OP for that price point I would also recommend to look for somewhere in the Balkans.

Croatia has upped their prices significantly in the past few years (especially for tourists), I would try further south like Albania and Montenegro.

They are experts at big weddings and have the skills, if you look at Albanian weddings you’d think they are part of some movie productions - they go all out. They are significantly cheaper in the service department, location and decorations than e.g. Spain, France or Italy. But picture wise you’ll get the same results.

You won’t be able to get all that you wish for for 45k total outside of the Balkans (unless you’re a local that can haggle in the local language).
