FAQ - Wedding Cost Questions
The average Saudi wedding costs between 150,000 and 300,000 SAR, including mahr, venue, catering, shabka, and honeymoon. Costs vary by region and desired level.
Mahr varies by customs and region, typically ranging from 20,000 to 100,000 SAR. Some regions have specific customs. Islam encourages moderation in mahr.
Save by: choosing an affordable venue, reducing guest count, booking early for discounts, choosing weekdays over weekends, and taking advantage of seasonal offers.
Mahr is the bride's Islamic right mentioned in the marriage contract, which can be money or gold. Shabka is a jewelry set given as a gift - it is a social custom, not a religious obligation.
It depends on your target budget and timeline. For example: if your goal is 200,000 SAR in 2 years, you need to save about 8,333 SAR monthly. Use the calculator above for an exact figure.
The calculator covers major items like venue, catering, photography, decor, attire, mahr, shabka, and honeymoon. There may be additional costs based on local customs such as home furnishing.
