The most important part of planning a destination wedding is to select a destination that suits your vibe and that relates to you as a couple. Also needless to mention this directly indirectly drives all the other factors of the budget of your indian destination wedding.

Also you might want to book the hotel for an extended two or three days in case you wish to stay back and unwind with your friends and family. If you choose to do so, we can negotiate well with the hotel and ask for a great deal.
Catering
