All-In vs À-la-Carte Wedding Packages: Which Is Cheaper?
For most couples, an all-in wedding package is cheaper and less stressful than booking each supplier à la carte, because the venue negotiates supplier rates and coordinates everything. À-la-carte only wins if you already have suppliers you love or want total creative control. At Stalla Suites Events Place, Quezon City, all-in packages start at ₱138,000.
One of the first big decisions in wedding planning is how you'll book: one all-in package, or each supplier separately (à la carte). It affects your budget, your stress level, and how much of your own time the planning eats up. Here's an honest comparison for a Quezon City wedding in 2026.
What each option means
An all-in package bundles the venue, catering, styling, coordination, gown, and photo/video into a single price from one provider. À la carte means you hire each supplier yourself — book a venue, then separately a caterer, stylist, coordinator, gown designer, and photo/video team.
The real cost difference
Here's a simplified 200-guest example to show why bundling usually wins:
| Item | À la carte (est.) | All-in |
|---|---|---|
| Venue | ₱80,000+ | Included |
| Catering (200 pax) | ₱160,000+ | Included |
| Styling & florals | ₱60,000+ | Included |
| Coordination | ₱35,000+ | Included |
| Gown & attire | ₱40,000+ | Included |
| Photo & video | ₱60,000+ | Included |
| Typical total | ₱435,000+ | from lower bundled price |
Illustrative figures for comparison only. Actual pricing depends on menu, styling, and coverage. The point: à-la-carte totals add up fast, and all-in venues negotiate lower supplier rates.
Beyond price: the hidden costs of à la carte
- Your time — sourcing, meeting, and managing 6+ suppliers.
- Coordination gaps — no single team owning the timeline on the day.
- Corkage & setup fees — venues often charge extra for outside caterers and styling.
- Payment juggling — multiple down payments and deadlines to track.
When à la carte is the right choice
À la carte shines if you already have a photographer, caterer, or stylist you love and won't compromise on, or you're planning a highly custom celebration. If that's you, look for a venue that allows outside suppliers with reasonable fees.

Frequently asked questions
For most couples in Quezon City, an all-in wedding package is cheaper than booking each supplier à la carte.
