A real budget
What a 240-guest wedding actually cost
Aburi, November 2025, two days, printed here with the couple's permission and their names taken off. Yours will differ. It will not differ by half.
Venue, hire and marquee
GHS 74,000
Two days, one of them under cover. The single largest line on almost every wedding we run.
Catering and bar
GHS 92,000
240 covers across Friday and Saturday, at GHS 380 a head plus the bar. Rises fastest when the guest list does.
Design, florals and print
GHS 46,000
Everything you can see: the tables, the flowers, the stationery, the signage and the install crew.
Photography and film
GHS 38,000
Two photographers and a two-camera film crew across both days, plus an edit. Never the line to save on.
Music and sound
GHS 26,000
A live band for the reception, a DJ afterwards, and a sound engineer who is not the DJ's cousin.
Dress, kente and grooming
GHS 34,000
Two outfits each across two days, plus hair and make-up for the couple and four of the party.
Traditional rites and gifts
GHS 22,000
The knocking list, the drinks, the gifts and the family's own hosting on the Friday.
Transport and logistics
GHS 12,000
Cars, the convoy between venues, and the truck that moves everything at six in the morning.
Power and contingency
GHS 9,000
A generator and a spare. In eleven years we have needed the spare four times.
Planning fee
GHS 52,000
Ours, for eighteen months. About twelve per cent of the total, which is where it usually lands.
Total
GHS 405,000
Which is GHS 1,687 a guest, and about the middle of the range we quote for a two-day wedding of this size in Greater Accra.
Terms
How it is paid
A third to hold the date, a third at nine months, the last third six weeks out. Supplier payments run through your own account rather than ours, so you can see every cedi land.
One third on signature, and the date is yours

The balance at six weeks
Asked often
The money questions
What does a wedding in Accra actually cost?
A 200-guest wedding done properly starts around GHS 220,000 all in, and the figure most couples land on is nearer GHS 350,000. We build the budget in the first month, in cedis, with a line for everything, and revise it in front of you every month rather than sending a surprise in April.
Do we have to use your suppliers?
No. We have people we trust and we will tell you why, but if your cousin is doing the cake then your cousin is doing the cake and we will manage her like anybody else. We take no commission from any supplier, which is the only reason that answer can be honest.
Our guest list keeps growing. Is that a problem?
It is the normal state of a Ghanaian wedding and we plan for it. Every room we draw has thirty spare covers designed into it and every caterer we contract has a same-week variation clause, so an extra table on the Thursday is a phone call rather than a crisis.
