The malka is often the first big family celebration of a marriage, and many families in Kuwait now host it at home. The question we hear most is simple: how much does a home malka setup cost? Here is a clear breakdown based on our own packages.
The short answer
With Elham Wedding, a complete home malka setup starts at 200 KWD with the Home package. It includes a kosha of your choice, 4 VIP sofas, 4 serving tables, 50 clear chairs and a dance banner, with delivery, installation and removal.
What affects the cost
- Number of guests: more guests means more chairs and tables.
- Kosha design: a floral wall or larger stage needs more materials.
- Music: adding a female DJ costs 45 KWD.
- Entrance and staircase: a lit entrance or staircase decoration adds impact.
- Space: gardens and courtyards may need a canopy or lighting.
Example budgets
| Malka size | Suggested setup | Starting price |
|---|---|---|
| Up to 50 guests at home | Home package | 200 KWD |
| 50 guests with music | Home package + female DJ | 245 KWD |
| Larger malka with valet and DJ | Luxury package | 300 KWD |
| 100 guests with staircase decoration | Royal package | 350 KWD |
