🎯 Why ₹15 Lakhs Is a Great Budget for a Delhi Wedding

Delhi, being the heart of Indian weddings, offers a wide variety of options for all budgets. ₹15 lakhs is a practical middle ground—enough to host a grand affair without going overboard.

With smart planning, the right vendors, and professional support, you can cover everything—from décor to photography, outfits to catering.

 

Step-by-Step Guide to Plan a Wedding in Delhi Under ₹15 Lakhs

 

Step 1: Set Your Priorities (₹0)

Before spending even a rupee, sit down with your partner and/or family to define the vision for your wedding.

  • What kind of wedding do you want? (Traditional, modern, minimalist, themed, destination-style in Delhi?)

  • How many functions? (Mehendi, Haldi, Sangeet, Wedding, Reception?)

  • What’s the estimated guest count? (Keep it around 200–250 for this budget.)

✅ Set My Wed Tip:

We help you map out a wedding priority list and create a customized budget plan based on your preferences. This ensures you spend more where it truly matters.

🏛️ Step 2: Select a Venue That Balances Beauty & Budget (₹3 – ₹4 Lakhs)

Your venue is likely the biggest expense. In Delhi, options range from lavish 5-star hotels to scenic lawns and budget-friendly banquet halls.

Smart Picks Under ₹4 Lakhs:

  • The Nikunj, NH-8 – Elegant décor & large capacity

  • Jhankar Garden, Mehrauli – Ideal for outdoor events

  • Tivoli Pushpanjali, Bijwasan – Mid-range yet premium feel

Ways to Save:

🍽️ Step 3: Finalize Catering (₹3 – ₹4 Lakhs)

Good food = happy guests. Indian weddings thrive on diverse and delicious menus. Stick to local cuisines, and go for caterers who charge on a per-plate basis (₹800–₹1,200).

Cost Breakdown:

  • For 200 guests x ₹1,000/plate = ₹2 Lakhs per event
  • 2 main events (Wedding + Reception) = ₹4 Lakhs max

Money-Saving Tips:

  • Avoid overloading the menu (5–6 key dishes + 2 desserts are enough)
  • Include live counters for fun but limit their number
  • Prefer in-house catering when booking a venue

✅ Set My Wed Tip:

We recommend verified caterers with flexible menu options.
