A wedding for several millions: how much does it cost to get married in 2026 and what can be saved? A new couple is offered to return up to 52 thousand rubles per couple. According to Synergy University expert Yulia Butyrina, the prices in 2026 are as follows: 300-500 thousand rubles - a wedding with an independent organization; About 1.5 million rubles - a chamber celebration for 20-30 guests; 1.5–2 million rubles and above - a holiday organized through an agency; 2.5-4 million rubles - a banquet for 50-70 people with photo and video shooting, decor and entertainment. What does the money go to? One of the main expenses is the feast. In Moscow, a menu costs 6-15 thousand rubles per person without alcohol. For 50 guests, food alone will cost 300-750 thousand rubles. Other expenses are also quite large: photographer - 100-200 thousand rubles; Presenter and DJ - 100-150 thousand;.
Decor - from 150 thousand;.
Video shooting - from 100 thousand;.
Groom's and bride's outfits - 150-200 thousand;.
Rings - 30-60 thousand;.
Cake - 30-50 thousand rubles. Where can you save money? Experts recommend reducing the guest list, choosing a date outside the peak season and avoiding expensive decor, limousines and fireworks. Another option is to rent wedding dresses and use electronic orders. At the same time, it is recommended to leave 10-15% of the budget for unexpected expenses. What about the tax discount? The deputies proposed to limit the wedding expenses to a deduction of 400,000 rubles for both couples. At a personal income tax rate of 13%, a maximum of 52 thousand rubles can be returned. They suggest including in the list of expenses a banquet, venue rental, photographer, host, rings, costumes and other wedding services. However, the bill has not yet been passed.
