The guides
Planning a Kerala wedding: the working guides
Everything we keep explaining on calls, written down properly — costs with the venue's own numbers, the calendar as families actually use it, and the decisions in the order they arrive.
Which month are you looking at?Send the month or the muhurtham with your name. A planner replies on WhatsApp within one working day. Venue rates and open dates follow once each venue confirms them in writing.

Three worked Kerala budgets, from the auditorium wedding to the resort buyout.
How Kerala venues charge
Auditorium day rentals, hotel minimum guarantees, resort buyouts — and what each makes negotiable.

Tell us about the wedding
Your name and a WhatsApp number are enough to start. Add the month or the guest count if you know them.
What happens after you enquire
- A planner replies on WhatsApp within one working day. Expect questions about the date, the numbers and the community the wedding follows.
- A written scope and a fee band. What we would do for this wedding and what it costs, before you decide anything.
- A video walkthrough if you are abroad. Shortlisted venues walked on camera in your evening, so the single trip to Kerala is spent deciding, not looking.
