Destination Wedding Packages in India with Prices: Goa, Kerala, Coorg and Bangalore

What does a destination wedding package in India include and exclude?

Short answer: a hotel or resort package in India bundles a minimum room block for two or three nights, one venue space, in-house meals, standard florals for the ceremony area, a basic sound system and a banquet coordinator. It does not include a wedding planner, designed decor, photography, makeup, artists, transfers or the second and third function spaces.

Three different things get sold under the word "package" in India, and comparing them as if they were one product is the most common budgeting mistake we see. The resort's package is rooms, venue and food. A planner's package adds design, vendors and coordination on top of the resort's number. A true single-price all-inclusive, where one contract covers everything from rooms to photography, is rare and sits at the top of the market. The table is the resort version, because that is the quote most couples receive first.

Two lines catch families out more than any other: the room block, which you pay for whether or not every room fills, and the per-function venue charge, because the package price usually covers one setup. Both belong in the first conversation with the property, and we put both in writing before a deposit moves. Wedding planning fees are quoted for the agreed scope; venue, hospitality and vendor costs are separate and paid by you directly, with no commission to us.

What do packages cost by guest count in Goa, Kerala, Coorg and Bangalore?

Short answer: for 100 guests, expect ₹35–55 lakh in Goa at a good four-star, ₹45–80 lakh in Kerala over two days, and ₹20–35 lakh in Coorg at Coorg Marriott. For 150 guests, Goa runs ₹50–80 lakh and Kerala ₹60 lakh–1.3 crore at a flagship. For 300 guests, Goa is ₹1.5–3.5 crore and Bangalore's five-star tier ₹50 lakh–1.2 crore.

Every band below is lifted from the dedicated cost page for that destination or from a venue's own listed figure, so the number here and the number on the linked page are the same number. Bands are indicative totals for a multi-day wedding including rooms, venue, food, decor and coordination; outfits, jewellery and guest flights sit outside them.

The Coorg Marriott bands are our own indicative planning bands rather than a venue quote; the Goa, Kerala and Bangalore bands are the studio's published figures for those markets. Where a cell says a band is not published, we have not printed one, because a guessed number is worse than no number when a family is deciding between two states.

Which Goa hotels offer packages for 300 or more guests?

Short answer: at 300 guests the Goa shortlist is decided by rooms, not the lawn. Grand Hyatt Goa (313 rooms), The LaLiT (255), ITC Grand Goa (246), Radisson Blu Cavelossim (226), The St. Regis (218), Cidade de Goa (210) and Planet Hollywood (204) hold 200-plus rooms with capacity past 300. Budget ₹1.5–3.5 crore for a five-star over three or four days.

A Goa hotel "package" for a large wedding is a room block plus a food-and-beverage commitment priced per plate, not a single all-inclusive figure. Work from rooms first: at two guests to a room, 300 guests is 150 rooms before family sharing, so a property with 140 rooms is already sending part of your guest list to a second hotel with shuttles. The properties below are the ones in our venue database with the room count and listed capacity to hold a 300-guest wedding on one site.

Two Goa properties list a per-day figure rather than a per-plate rate: Regenta Beach House Resort in South Goa at ₹15 lakh per day for a 151-room buyout (listed for 75–400 guests) and Aralea Beach Resort, Morjim, at ₹11 lakh per day for 69 rooms (80–300 guests), both taxes extra. They are the closest thing Goa has to a printed package price. For the room-inventory and F&B working at 300, read our 300-guest Goa page; the 150-guest Goa page prints what fifteen Goa properties publish — per plate, per function or per day.

What does a 150-guest Kerala package cost?

Short answer: a 150-guest Kerala wedding over two days runs ₹30–60 lakh at a four-star or mid-range backwater resort and ₹60 lakh–1.3 crore at a flagship such as Taj Bekal, The Leela Kovalam or Kumarakom Lake Resort. A church wedding with reception for 150–200 sits at ₹40–60 lakh. Taj Bekal lists a ₹55 lakh per-day buyout, Gateway Bekal ₹35 lakh.

The arithmetic behind the mid-range band is on the Kerala page for 100 guests: the resort's food-and-beverage commitment (₹8–15 lakh), 30–35 rooms for two nights at ₹8,000–12,000 a night (₹5–8 lakh), catering at ₹2,500–3,500 a plate across three functions (₹7–10 lakh) and traditional Kerala decor in jasmine, chrysanthemum and brass (₹8–12 lakh). A sadya on banana leaf at ₹1,200–2,000 a head is what keeps Kerala cheaper than Goa at the same guest count. Our Kerala planning-from-abroad guide covers the approval rhythm for Gulf families; the Kerala cost breakdown has every line.

What do Coorg, Kabini and the Bangalore estates cost, and when do they beat Goa?

Short answer: Coorg is the drive-to destination for Bangalore families: ₹20–35 lakh for 100 guests over two functions at Coorg Marriott, ₹40–60 lakh for an intimate 50–70 at Vivanta, ₹60 lakh–1 crore for an Evolve Back Coorg buyout and ₹1–1.5 crore-plus for 120–200 at Taj Madikeri. Kabini and the Bangalore estates suit weddings where most guests are already in Karnataka.

Coorg's package market is small. Coorg Marriott has 108 rooms for 20 to 1,000 guests; our planning bands for it run ₹20–35 lakh for 100 guests over two functions, ₹35–55 lakh for 200 over three and ₹55–85 lakh for 300 over four. Coorg Wilderness Resort lists a ₹50 lakh per day buyout of all 104 rooms with three meals and the venue, about four hours from Bengaluru by the resort's own account. Evolve Back at Kabini has 32 rooms and quotes only against a buyout, so it is a forty-to-eighty guest wedding, not a 300-guest one. For a 150-guest Coorg wedding line by line, go to our Coorg cost page; the properties are on the Coorg venues hub.

Bangalore is a destination when the family is flying in and the guests are not. The city's published bands are ₹15–30 lakh for 100–200 guests at a resort or four-star and ₹40–70 lakh at a five-star; at 300–500 guests those become ₹30–65 lakh and ₹70 lakh–1.5 crore. It wins on airport access and vendor depth; it loses the three-days-in-one-place feeling that makes Goa and Kerala worth the premium. The Bangalore cost page has the tiers by venue type.

How do we plan this from the US, UK, Canada, the Gulf or Australia?

Short answer: start on Planning from abroad, pick the destination cost page for your family's roots, and book a video call. We quote in rupees with a currency equivalent, contract in rupees, run approvals through a shared portal, and most couples living abroad make one India trip of about a week before the wedding week itself.

Around 300 of the weddings we have planned since 2018 were for couples living abroad, so the process is settled. Families in the United States and Canada usually start at the Goa cost page or the Bangalore cost page; the planning-from-the-USA guide covers the call rhythm, and Canadian families should read how wedding money reaches India and how the marriage is registered before the first deposit. Families in the Gulf are mostly planning Kerala, and that guide is written for them. Families in the UK lean to Goa: the UK section of our from-abroad guide covers the clock and the flights, and the Goa venues hub is the shortlist. Couples in Australia and Singapore follow the same guide; one of our Goa weddings at Riva Beach Resort was planned from Australia, and the couple's review is on our reviews page.

Whatever the country, the mechanics are the same: a written scope, a rupee contract, three payment milestones, video walkthroughs of every shortlisted venue, and one planning trip grouped around the tasting and the venue decision. How many India trips the planning needs is usually fewer than parents expect.

How far ahead do peak-season dates book at these properties?

Short answer: for October to March, book luxury properties 12–18 months out and mid-range venues 9–12 months out; April to September needs 6–9 months. Taj Exotica and The Leela in Goa need 18–24 months for Christmas and New Year week, and muhurtham dates and long weekends go first everywhere.

The date decides more than the destination does. A peak-season Saturday at a flagship is usually gone before the guest list is finished, while the same property on a weekday in November may be open at a better room rate. When a family is choosing between two dates we hold both with the property in writing while they decide. A six-month runway is workable in Goa, Bangalore and Kerala for up to 300 guests if the venue is free; larger weddings and peak dates need the longer window.

Which package tier suits a couple who can visit India once before the wedding?

Short answer: take the hotel's rooms, venue and food package and bring your own planning and design team on top. The hotel is good at beds, kitchens and hospitality; design, timeline and vendors are a different craft. It costs more than a bare hotel package, but it is the tier that can be approved remotely without surprises on the day.

A pure hotel package suits a couple who can visit several times and like the in-house decor. A la carte, with every vendor booked separately, suits a couple with a full-service planner on the ground. The hybrid is what we recommend to almost every couple living abroad: the property's package fixes rooms, venue and meals early, design and production are approved from drawings, material lists and lighting plans in the portal, and the one India trip goes on the venue walk, the tasting and both families in one room. How to plan a wedding on one India trip sets out that week.

Where do Rajasthan and Udaipur fit?

Rajasthan is the default many couples start with, and a palace wedding is a genuine thing. It is not somewhere we plan. Our work is Goa, Kerala, Coorg and the belt around Bangalore, where we know the properties' kitchens, lawns and drainage from repeated weddings; if a palace is the dream, a Rajasthan-based studio will serve you better than we would.
