Doli Saja Ke Rakhna says
The quintessential big fat Indian wedding which is straight out of your Bollywood dreams with larger-than-life sets, cuisines from across the world, personalized favours etc. can vary vastly depending on what the couple wants. Right from getting married in a fort or palace to getting married in a forest or maybe a beach wedding - the experience can take your budgets to different levels. Considering all the popular destination wedding cities, their costing can work as below.
Venue Cost which includes stay and food, decor design & production, entertainment activities, and vendor costs for 300 guests with mehendi/haldi, cocktail sangeet, pheras with meet & greet will be as follows:
Mumbai – Approximately 2.75 CR
Goa – 3 CR
Jaipur - 3.5 CR
Delhi – 3 CR
Hyderabad - 3.25 CR
Bangalore – 3 CR
There are couples who want some specific celebrity performers and designers which can make the budgets go higher but they surely give you a once-in-a-lifetime experience, so we say go for it as SRK rightly said "Pyaar ek baar hota hain, shaadi bhi ek hi baar hoti hain."
