The increase in the price of electricity and food products, especially oil, meat and vegetables, has almost left wedding restaurants without any profit.

All weddings were booked before the period when prices were affordable.

Restaurant managers say that the number of guests at weddings has also decreased significantly, from 350 or 400 as it was earlier, now the number has decreased to a maximum of 250 guests.

"With the prices that have become too high, we have no profit, but we only serve the wedding party to finish the wedding to the end.

We earn until today we have nothing.

Those who made reservations before the new year and after the new year, until sometime in March, all were at old prices.

You, as a staff, can't do that anymore... you call people, you contact them on the phone and tell them that the price has gone up and I have to go with the wedding too, we can't do that because he booked it at that price it had to be reserved", said Admir Seferi, manager.

Despite the current situation, citizens do not give up on weddings and the large expenses for their realization.

"People have been freed a little, the movements are bigger, the connections are bigger than they used to be.

Because then people were lonely, they also had fear.

Inshalla, life will be repeated, it will be renewed", said a citizen.

"My brother's son had a wedding.

We danced, we did everything we needed to do", said a citizen.

The musicians are also satisfied with the wedding season, who said that they are recovering after the two-year closure due to the pandemic".

"We have over 200 weddings, we are constantly busy.

We go everywhere, we are honestly satisfied.

Tonight we have a wedding in Kumanovo, we will make music for 700 euros", said a musician.

The lifting of measures against Covid-19 this summer allowed the organization of all demonstrations at full capacity and without restrictions./Alsat/
