Do you need to do the health, character, interviews with the anti people trafficking, hundreds in bribes?

What is the ballpark estimation for a wedding with 300-400 guests, in Phnom Penh in December this year? Won't be too lavish, definitely not Koh Pich or the Premier Centre.

Standard khmer wedding, johnny walker a table, beers by the dozen, standard food, probably rent a hall near to the airport.
Will probably be doing the full traditional 2 dayer with the 20 dresses, etc.

I have been to a lot of Khmer weddings. I only ever once saw Scotch on the tables. That was a posh do on Koh Pich. And they had cans of Heineken instead of Anchor.

Expecting maybe 8-12k return, at best, assuming 300 people people gave between $25-40 pp, can't really rely on it being a bit. Take it everything needs to be paid up front first as well?

Should also mention that we're married outside of Cambodia, so it'd just be for the event itself, no paperwork, etc.

You can try to have your foreign wedding certificate recognized by MoFA, but small chance you'll succeed. The Cambodian government no longer supports marriages abroad, to put it mildly.

The other way is legally getting married in Cambodia. If you can present all the correct paperwork it'll cost you about 350 USD. If you can't you're looking at 1000 or more.

Is there any up to date guide on all the information needed and the process?
