Beach Wedding. The Amount Can Make Your Head Spin

Warm sand, the sound of sea waves and an oath taken in the presence of a loved one - a wedding on the beach brings to mind a scenery straight from a romantic movie. Organizing such an event is possible, but requires financial outlays reaching even tens of thousands of złoty.

More and more Polish couples dream of an outdoor wedding ceremony. It is possible to say "I do" on the grounds of manors or palaces, charming parks and on the beaches of the Baltic Sea. This involves expenses and formalities.

According to the current regulations, a wedding does not have to take place in a Civil Registry Office. The condition is to choose a place that is safe for the participants and allows for a dignified setting for the ceremony. The head of the Civil Registry Office may refuse to conduct the ceremony if he considers that the indicated location does not meet these requirements.

It is worth making sure which office is responsible for the chosen spot on the Polish coast . It is also good to check whether it is not private land and no one is asking for a fee for its access. For example, according to the wedding.pl portal, a wedding on the beach in Kołobrzeg costs PLN 500, while in Łeba the city provides a part of the coastline free of charge.

Regardless of the location, a stamp duty of PLN 84 must be paid . In the case of a ceremony outside the office premises, an additional fee of PLN 1,000 is charged . The costs also increase due to the need to prepare a gazebo and seats. Their rental is an expense from several hundred to over PLN 1,000.

An outdoor wedding party is a much bigger burden on the budget. The costs depend on the scope of services , the number of guests and the prestige of the performers. For a DJ, the couple will pay from PLN 2-2.5 to PLN 8-9 thousand.

The situation is similar when it comes to the photographer. Tents cost 2.5-5 thousand PLN, plus the cost of tables, chairs and decorations. Catering for guests will cost 200-500 PLN. Providing advice from a wedding planner and attractions such as a fireworks show will cost thousands more .

In addition, you should remember the prices of the newlyweds' outfits, decorations, and alcohol. The arrival of guests from all over Poland to a town on the Coast may also involve providing them with accommodation (PLN 150-350 per person).

For a ceremony with an intimate reception, you should therefore plan for between 30 and 60 thousand PLN . In the case of a wedding for 100 people, the costs will almost certainly exceed 100 thousand PLN.

Hotels in seaside resorts offer comprehensive organization of such events , but the price can reach up to PLN 200,000. The key factors here are the location (more expensive in places like Gdańsk or Sopot), season and weather conditions.
