Planning a Wedding? Here’s What You Really Need to Know About the Average Wedding Cost in Melbourne
If you’re recently engaged, you’ve probably already begun exploring venues, reaching out to suppliers, or asking Google what your wedding should actually cost. It’s exciting. Until the quotes start rolling in and leave you wondering what’s normal, what’s not, and where to even begin.
As an experienced Melbourne wedding planner, we hear this all the time. Couples start planning without a clear understanding of what different services cost in today’s market.
