Check Out These Places ASAP For A Destination Wedding Near Mumbai

If you're looking for a wedding that's more like a weekend escape for you and your family and friends, then a simple intimate destination wedding somewhere close to a big city is what we'd recommend! Not only does it give the feel of a destination wedding while not being too far away from home, it also can really help in trimming down unnecessary expenditure in terms of high prices you pay for things for just being in the city. Plus, since it's not too far away, then organising and travelling will also not hurt. The best part is, there's some sort of intimate feeling that comes with travelling with a group of guests- a lot of unnecessary guests get weeded out so you can have ceremonies for only your near and dear ones!
