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.
What a Kerala wedding costs
Per-plate ranges for the venues that publish them, from convention halls to palace hotels.
When Kerala marries
The muhurtham calendar, the church seasons, and the months the state keeps clear.
Sadya and wedding catering
The feast that decides a Kerala wedding, and what it costs a head.
What ₹10, ₹20 and ₹40 lakh buy
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.
The rain plan
A state with two monsoons needs a real answer to the 11pm question.
Dates for 2026–27, the Kerala way
Which months hold weddings, which the calendars keep clear, and what the date clusters do to venue booking.
The bar question
Where alcohol can and cannot be served at a Kerala wedding — licensed hotels, auditoriums, homes — as the rules actually stand.
The 12-month Kerala checklist
The planning sequence in Kerala order: astrologer first, auditorium fast, sadya early.
Planning from abroad
How 200+ NRI weddings taught us to run the whole thing over video calls and one trip.
Destination weddings in Kerala
Backwaters, beaches and hills — why couples from outside Kerala marry here.
Tell us about the wedding
Dates, guest numbers, where the family is from. Enough to reply with something useful rather than a brochure.
