Planning a wedding in the southern coast

  • Getting there. Thiruvananthapuram International Airport (TRV) is close to Kovalam and the capital's halls, and it is the nearest for Varkala too.
  • The ceremony booking. The capital has large convention halls for big guest lists and clifftop resorts at Kovalam for smaller ones. Book the temple or church slot first.
  • The cook. At the city halls, ask whether an outside sadya cook is allowed and what the hall charges for its kitchen and dining area.
  • The rain plan. Clifftop and beach ceremonies need a covered alternative during both monsoons. The rain plan guide has the details.

We come to the southern coast for site visits at the shortlisted venues; the first conversations happen on video.

What happens after you enquire

  1. A call within one working day. From the planning team, to hear the date, the numbers and the community the wedding follows.
  2. A written scope and a fee band. What we would do for this wedding and what it costs, before you decide anything.
  3. 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.

Planning this venue from abroad

From the Gulf, the UK or North America, see the hall, the rooms and the covered space for a monsoon day on a video call first. Put the rate, the advance dates and the decor approval in writing so the family at home and abroad read the same terms. Keep the one trip to Kerala for the tasting and a last walk through. How planning from abroad works.
