Planning a beautiful wedding in Ranchi doesn’t mean you have to go overboard. At CMAC – Ranchi’s most trusted wedding planner – we’ve organised hundreds of stunning weddings that look luxurious yet stay completely within budget.
Here’s our proven 2025 guide on how to plan a budget-friendly wedding in Ranchi that feels premium:
1. Choose Smart Dates & Days
- Weekday weddings (Mon–Thu) get huge discounts
- Off-season months (July–Sept & Jan–Feb) are the cheapest
- Morning functions cost far less than evening receptions
2. Best Budget-Friendly Venues in Ranchi
- Khelgaon Lawns – massive open ground at minimal rent
- Project Bhawan & Auditorium lawns
- Private farmhouses on Ratu Road, Boreya & Pandra
- Community halls with spacious lawns
3. Décor Hacks That Look Expensive
- Use seasonal marigold & local flowers instead of imported ones
- Rent LED walls instead of heavy floral backdrops
- Mix real + artificial flowers for mandap & stage
- Focus lighting on stage & entrance – keep rest minimal yet elegant
4. Smart Food & Catering Choices
- Choose trusted local caterers instead of hotel catering
- Live counters (chaat, dosa, pasta) impress more than heavy menus
- Welcome drinks: jaljeera, aam panna instead of mocktails
- Serve popular local sweets like thekua & peda as dessert
5. Photography & Makeup on Budget
- Book talented upcoming teams instead of celebrity names
- Do pre-wedding shoot at free locations: Tagore Hill, Rock Garden, Oxygen Park, Hundru Falls
- Combine photo + video package for better rates
- Go for HD/airbrush makeup from good local artists
6. Save Big on Transportation
- Book 2–3 decorated luxury cars only for main entries
- Use AC buses/tempo travellers for guests instead of individual cabs
- Rent vintage car or horse carriage just for the entry moment
7. Smart Invitations & Return Gifts
- Digital invites + limited printed cards (100–150 pcs)
- Return gifts: dry fruits, small planters, steel tiffin, personalised mugs
