Planning a wedding budget in Mauritius starts with three questions: how many guests, what level of catering and décor, and which venue type fits your celebration.
This guide breaks down the main cost drivers so you can plan realistically, whether you are a local couple in Phoenix or hosting a destination wedding from abroad.
Main Wedding Cost Categories
1. Venue hire
Venue costs depend on:
- Day of week (Saturday premiums are common)
- Season (peak: October to January, April to May)
- Duration (single event vs multi day multicultural celebrations)
- Spaces used (ballroom only vs ballroom plus terrace)
Standalone banquet halls like LE PAVILLON quote venue hire alongside catering and decoration, reducing hidden fees compared to resort packages.
2. Catering
Catering is usually priced per guest and is the largest line item for most weddings.
| Tier | Style | Typical use |
|---|---|---|
| Standard | Buffet, Creole and international | Mid size receptions |
| Premium | Plated service, live stations | Large formal dinners |
| Bespoke | Indian fusion, multi day menus | Multicultural weddings |
LE PAVILLON coordinates in house catering and approved external chefs for wedding services.
3. Decoration and styling
Decoration scope ranges from elegant tablescapes to full mandap builds, floral installations, and lighting design. All inclusive venues bundle décor with planning support, which reduces vendor coordination costs.
4. Additional services
- Photography and videography
- Entertainment and DJ
- Bridal preparation suites (included at LE PAVILLON for wedding bookings)
- Guest transport from hotels across Mauritius
Sample Budget Ranges by Guest Count
These ranges are illustrative guides, not fixed prices. Your quote depends on menu, décor, and event duration.
| Guest count | Celebration style | Budget consideration |
|---|---|---|
| 50 to 80 | Intimate dinner or garden ceremony | Lower venue and catering totals |
| 100 to 150 | Standard reception with buffet | Mid range investment |
| 200 to 300 | Grand ballroom, premium catering | Highest per event totals, best value at banquet halls |
For large multicultural weddings spanning multiple functions, budget for multi day venue access and varied catering menus.
Banquet Hall vs Resort: Cost Comparison
Resort weddings bundle accommodation and event services, which suits smaller destination ceremonies. For 150+ guests, resort per person pricing can exceed standalone venue quotes.
