A GUIDE TO WEDDING BUDGETING AT CAMEL STUDIO
One of the questions we’re most often asked by our couples is, “How much should we budget for our wedding?” - and it’s such an important place to begin.
Planning your wedding at Camel Studio is a wonderfully creative process, and your budget will ultimately be shaped by the choices you make along the way - from your style of dining and photography to those thoughtful finishing touches that bring everything together.
To help guide you, we’ve created this overview of key considerations, along with example costs, to give you a clear and realistic starting point.
At Camel Studio, we offer two beautifully considered options: our Intimate Package for up to 24 guests and our Petite Package for up to 50 guests. From here, your day becomes entirely your own - effortlessly tailored to reflect your vision.
Your Ceremony: Setting the Tone
The first decision to make is how you would like to say your vows.
If you’re dreaming of a ceremony that feels deeply personal and entirely bespoke, a celebrant or humanist-led ceremony gives you the freedom to shape every moment. Alternatively, if you would prefer the legal formalities to take place on the day, a registrar-led ceremony is the perfect choice.
Celebrant-led ceremony – from £695
Registrar – from £790 (based on a Saturday in 2026)
Catering: Relaxed, Abundant & Joyful
Catering is often one of the first suppliers we recommend booking, and prices can vary depending on the experience, style and menu you choose.
At Camel Studio, we favour a relaxed yet generous approach to dining. We suggest canapés during your drinks reception, followed by a two-course wedding breakfast—leaving just enough room to enjoy our freshly prepared wood-fired pizzas later in the evening.
Catering – from £50 per person
Photography: Moments to Treasure
Your photographs will become lasting keepsakes of your day, so it’s important to choose a photographer whose style you love and whose presence feels natural and comfortable.
Half day (ideal for intimate weddings) – from £1,000
Full day – from £1,600
Flowers: Naturally Beautiful
Camel Studio has been thoughtfully designed to provide a soft, elegant backdrop—think whitewashed walls, flowing drapes and natural greenery—allowing you to style the space as simply or as abundantly as you wish.
Our recommended florists focus on seasonal, sustainable blooms and will help guide your vision.
Intimate weddings (up to 24) – from £700
Petite weddings (up to 50) – from £900
The Cake: A Sweet Moment
Whether you choose something understated or a little more playful, your cake is a lovely opportunity to add personality to your day.
Single-tier cake – from £95
Two-tier cake – from £200
Hair & Makeup: A Calm Start to Your Day
The morning of your wedding is something to truly savour. Our dedicated dressing room offers a relaxed and beautiful setting to get ready - surrounded by your closest people, with a glass of something sparkling in hand.
Bridal hair & makeup – from £195
Hair only – from £95
Makeup only – from £85
Bridesmaid hair – from £45
Bridesmaid makeup – from £50
**Please ask your chosen supplier about a hair and make-up trial and their travel rates which will be in addition to these prices quoted.
Thoughtful Extras to Consider
It’s often the finishing touches that elevate your day and create a truly memorable experience.
Videography
If your budget allows, we would always recommend including a videographer. While photographs capture beautiful still moments, film allows you to relive the emotion—the vows, speeches and reactions that might otherwise pass in a blur.
Some photographers offer combined packages, or shorter coverage options.
From £600
Music
We provide a surround sound system in the barn and a portable outdoor stereo, allowing you to curate your own playlists throughout the day.
Many couples choose to combine this with live music or a DJ for the evening.
Acoustic musician or duo from £500
DJ from £700
Outdoor Games
Our top lawn is perfect for relaxed entertainment, with space for croquet, boules or giant Jenga—always a hit during the drinks reception.
From £20 per game (plus delivery)
Additional Décor
From hand-drawn stationery and welcome signs to layered table styling, these details help bring your vision together.
Our recommended suppliers are a wonderful place to start, and we also love Etsy for unique, handcrafted pieces.
