MONEY-SAVING TIPS

1. Get married in off-peak months (April–June, September–October) for lower vendor rates.
2. Negotiate packages — many Accra vendors offer discounts for booking photography + video together.
3. Use a wedding registry on JoyRibbons so guests contribute to your home setup rather than buying random gifts.
4. Consider a Friday or Sunday wedding — vendors are often 15–25% cheaper than Saturday.
