Sancheong-gun, Free Wedding Hall and Marriage Incentive Support as Marriage Promotion Policy
If You Are a Prospective Couple Registered in Sancheong-gun, Wedding Hall Fees Are Exempted
[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Sancheong-gun, Gyeongnam Province, is actively implementing marriage promotion policies such as free wedding hall access and providing 4 million KRW in marriage encouragement funds.
Sancheong-gun offers free access to wedding halls for local residents.
According to the county, if at least one of the marrying parties is a prospective couple registered as a resident in Sancheong-gun, the wedding hall usage fee can be waived.
Currently, the available wedding halls are the Sancheong-gun Nonghyup and Sancheong Hanbang Family Hotel.
When intending to use the wedding hall, scheduling must be coordinated in advance through a phone consultation.
As part of its ongoing population policy, the county also supports childbirth encouragement funds along with marriage encouragement funds.
The marriage encouragement fund provides 4 million KRW to newlyweds who registered their marriage after January 1, 2020.
The eligibility requirement is that at least one of the marrying parties must have been registered as a resident in Sancheong-gun for at least six months as of the marriage registration date. Additionally, both spouses must continue to reside with resident registration in Sancheong-gun after the marriage registration to receive the support.
The payment is made in installments: 1 million KRW upon application, and 1 million KRW annually for the following three years, paid in the month of the first payment. However, if one or more spouses move out to another city or county, the support will be discontinued.
Applications for the marriage encouragement fund can be made at the town or township office of the resident registration area.
However, in the case of multicultural families, they cannot receive other marriage encouragement funds and can apply only after acquiring nationality and registering residency.

County Governor Lee Seung-hwa said, “Recently, younger generations often focus on reducing wedding costs and the meaning that ‘marriage’ brings. In line with these changes, we will continue to promote various policies to help not only prospective couples preparing for marriage but also couples who could not hold a wedding due to financial burdens.”
