How to save money on your wedding in Croatia?

Prioritize your vendors

Make a list of vendors that are worth spending money to you, some opt to invest more into photo + video, some into decor, others find the music to be the most important part. Spend the money where it matters to you, and save on the vendors that don't matter to you as much. You can save some money on vendors by choosing someone that's just starting out, or to opt out of premium services and book someone more traditional.

Choose a less popular destination in Croatia

Instead of looking into Dubrovnik (the most expensive place to get married in Croatia), look at some places that aren't so popular.

Same applies to venues, every town has popular wedding venues (and for a reason), you can always choose a tavern, or a restaurant that isn't so popular when it comes to weddings.

Hire a wedding planner

This isn't self promotion I promise, but hiring a wedding planner provides you not only the informations and the connections to the locals, but also a savvy wedding planner can help you save some money. Don't expect miracles though, there's a limit when it comes to saving.
