PLANNING AN INDIAN DESTINATION WEDDING
We can all agree that Indian weddings are very exciting. They are bright, vibrant, extensively planned, rich of culture,
traditions, and include large guest counts with several days of celebrations. And more so, when we are blending two cultures, faiths, and traditions.
We are here to navigate you through the details and help you design a celebration is unique to your love.
South-Asian Wedding - Where do I start?
Wedding traditions are a significant part of Indian culture, and learning which custom is important to include in your wedding
is the best place to start. Understanding these details will help you determine how many days you will need to reserve at the resort.
Next we think about budget, guest list, and the type of ceremony you wish to host - legal or symbolic?
South-Asian destination wedding
Destination weddings allow families and friends to enjoy the week long festivities together without the worry of rushing to and/or from work.
Everyone takes the time off to take a break, and truly become a part of your celebration. If the families follow different background, bringing everyone together to one location allows everyone to feel comfortable and immerse in the traditions.
As an added perk, destination weddings are more affordable than a traditional celebration. The average 2022 cost of an Indian wedding in a major US city, with 300 guests is between $225,000 and $275,000. By comparison, the same celebration in Mexico can save you $25,000 - $50,000.
