Wedding Venue Ranking

71 venues ranked for a 30-40 person, 3-4 day intimate gathering. Budget: under 40,000 PLN (comparable). Vibe: rustic agritourism, NOT a traditional wedding.

Two home bases: Warsaw (primary) and Nowy Sącz (also acceptable).

Comparable Cost Method

  • Start with each venue's total estimated cost (accommodation + any included extras)
  • If food is not included in the estimate, add +5,000 PLN
  • If entertainment/sauna is not included, add +5,000 PLN
  • Result = Comparable Total used for ranking
