Planning your dream event doesn’t mean you need to break the bank. Whether it’s a grand wedding in Ahmedabad, a corporate awards night, or an intimate birthday bash, smart budgeting ensures you get the most value without compromising the experience.
At Summit Ovate, we’ve helped hundreds of clients manage stunning events within every budget. In this guide, we’ll share practical tips, insights, and strategies to help you plan your event efficiently and effectively.
🎯 Step 1: Define Your Priorities
Before you even talk about numbers, understand what matters most to you.
Is it the venue?
Food & catering?
Entertainment or decor?
Guest experience?
Tip: List your top 3 must-haves. This will help allocate the bulk of your budget smartly.
📊 Step 2: Set a Realistic Budget
Once you know what matters, work backwards to set a budget.
Consider your total available funds
Include a 10-15% buffer for last-minute changes
Be honest about your comfort zone
Summit Ovate helps clients build transparent, itemized budgets to avoid surprises later.
🏛️ Step 3: Choose the Right Venue
Venue cost can be up to 40-50% of your total budget.
Compare multiple locations
Check what’s included (lights, chairs, parking, etc.)
Off-season or weekday events are often cheaper
We offer venue booking support across Ahmedabad to help you get the best deal.
🍽️ Step 4: Plan Catering Smartly
Food is a major component of guest satisfaction — but also a big budget chunk.
Buffet is cheaper than plated meals
Limit drink options or go alcohol-free for savings
Choose local dishes to reduce logistics costs
Our in-house catering team offers budget packages without compromising taste.
💐 Step 5: Simplify Décor Without Losing Style
You don’t need over-the-top designs for a stunning event.
Go minimal with flowers
Use LED and fabric backdrops
Rent instead of buying props
Summit Ovate provides creative, budget-friendly decor concepts for every theme.
🎤 Step 6: Evaluate Entertainment Wisely
Big-name performers can cost a lot. Opt for:
Talented local artists
DJ instead of live band
Interactive games or crowd activities
We have a curated list of entertainers that match various budget levels.
📋 Step 7: Don’t Forget Hidden Costs
Often overlooked expenses include:
Service staff & tips
Permits & licenses
Travel & accommodation for outstation guests
Our detailed budget checklist covers these to ensure complete clarity.
🧾 Step 8: Track & Adjust as You Go
Keep your expenses logged and revisit the budget weekly.
Use a spreadsheet or budget app
Allocate emergency funds
