Wedding venues/cost in Budapest?
Posted by Comfortable_Wrap_261@reddit | budapest | View on Reddit | 3 comments
Hi all! I’m looking to have a wedding with about 20-25 people in attendance in Budapest. Ideally something iconic like the fisherman’s bastion would be awesome, however I’m quite worried of how expensive it would be. It’ll be a destination wedding for me as I want to show my friends and family from Australia how special Budapest is to me and how living there was a huge part of my relationship with my now fiancée. Does anyone have an estimation on basic costs? Or alternatively, some venue options? Thank you!

Few years back we looked at Spoon boat, wasn’t too bad. Also Hemingway restaurant, very cute but might not be the iconic view you are looking for.

I would generally advise against Halászbástya, that's one of the worst tourist traps. This place is in the Citadella, nice view, great food&wine, they do weddings and was reasonably priced a decade ago. Back then it costed cca 1 million HUF for 90 guests (including dinner and their own wine, excluding spirits and wine a la carte). They offer the option to try out the wedding menu with your fiancé in advance.
These are castles all around the country, I would recommend this one in the countryside or this one 30 min to Bp

Asking for quotes from venues is free, it just requires a bit of e-mailing back and forth, and a research of potential venues. For this, and everything else, hire a local wedding planner. Spoiler: it will be expensive, anything that has to do with weddings has a 1,5-3 multiplier on their normal prices.
