Busan will help pay for your dream wedding!

 

Busan is helping couples pay for their wedding ceremonies through the “Small Wedding in Public Wedding Hall” support program. Couples who plan to exchange vows in an affiliated wedding hall can receive up to 1,000,000 won in financial support.

The program is open to couples when at least one member is a registered Busan resident. Foreign nationals who are Busan residents may also apply. Prospective couples should finalize a contract with an affiliated wedding hall before submitting their application.

The support program only covers weddings in 2025; weddings that took place this past January are also eligible. The program only covers the cost of the venue; other expenses, such as photography sessions, will not be supported.

Finally, since the program is designed to ease the financial burden for newlyweds, other events, such as vow renewals or family gatherings, are ineligible.

The application period is open until Feb. 28, 2025. Couples who meet the eligibility requirements can download the application form from Busan City Hall’s official website and submit their application through the Government 24 website (gov.kr) or via email (baetae04@korea.kr).
