Arrangements, dishes, event rooms, music and other factors influence the final cost of a wedding.
According to Wedding Report, the average cost of a wedding in 2020 was approximately $20,000.
The Wedding Planners help organize everything from arrangements, dishes, decoration, DJ’s, to the party room and programs.
The figure of the Wedding Planner has become more relevant in the professional environment in recent years, as couples prefer to pay a person with good taste who is in charge of the hard work of organizing, choosing, decorating, inviting and programming every detail of their bridal event; however, that itself makes the risks of fraud grow when contracting the service.
And it is that the union of two people with external help makes social events memorable, as well as their cost increases. The important is: How much are Mexicans willing to spend for the wedding of their dreams?
The figures are not exact in this industry, since the wedding planners charge according to their work, if it is a complete service of 12 months or only the coordination of the special day, they also charge based on factors such as the number of people, a percentage of the total invested or by the type of accompaniment to the couple.
In Mexico, a professional named Alexandra Huerta has revealed that, from her experience and depending on the city where the event takes place, you can charge from 10,000 pesos to more than 100,000.
“I think that a good service can go from a relatively affordable price to something very high. For example, I do not charge more if the service is for more than 12 months of planning, but if they want to hire me for a single day, I continue to charge exactly the same. This depends on the wedding planner and the service and the accompaniment time offered by each one”, he highlights in his official blog.
This testimony is consistent with Cronoshare, the digital platform that seeks to be a kind of directory of professionals to offer local services and establish average market prices.
According to your metrics, a wedding planner in Mexico could charge between 10,000 and 75,000 pesos approximately; However, when it comes to hiring separate services, the prices are more varied, for example, just coordinating the event for one day can cost between 8,000 and 12,000 pesos.
