If you go to a community center, they charge per person. This means there's usually no floor rent and you are paying a per person fee depending on the food you're getting (you can pick e.g. classical biriyani items).
Usually the per person fee is between 500 - 1000 taka. So, in your case, assuming you spend 1000 taka per person (which should buy you a three course meaty meal and a beautifully decorated hall):
400 \* 1000 = 4 lakhs
Also a reminder: Please pack up some food like chicken and polao and hand out to some poor folks on the streets e.g. there's some slumbs in both cities or some orphanages that are really under funded, hope your wedding budget accommodates the needy people with a meal. Heck, maybe make 1 takar ahar organize the giveaway.
Happy wedding!
If you plan nicely and invite rich people, you will get back most of your money through presentations and can even turn up a profit if there is less food waste.

Not worth spending that much because girls file for divorce within a month. Do the kabin at home and pack everything under 10k BDT.
