About

This is a private 9-day (8-night) Kerala and Goa destination wedding package for couples and a core party of up to 10 guests. You hold your ceremony on a lakeside lawn by the Kumarakom backwaters in Kerala, fly to Goa, and celebrate with a sunset reception on the beach at Taj Exotica. One wedding planner and team run both events, with photography, bridal make-up and two celebration dinners included. It costs from about INR 703,080 per couple, and larger guest lists are quoted by headcount.

Why choose one dream setting when you can have two? This wedding journey pairs the calm, green beauty of Kerala's backwaters with the sand, sea and sunsets of Goa.

Your ceremony takes place in the soft late-afternoon light beside Vembanad lake, with palms, still water and, if you like, an arrival by boat. A few days later, the mood shifts to a relaxed beach party in South Goa, with lanterns, a live band and seafood under the stars.

The schedule is calm on purpose. Four nights in each place, the ceremony on day 3, the reception on day 7 and a free day at each venue, so you enjoy your own wedding instead of rushing through it.

Two-Venue Destination Wedding - Ceremony vs Reception

Why Couples Love This Wedding Package

  • Two weddings in one trip. A peaceful backwater ceremony and a lively beach party, each with its own feel and photos.

  • One planner, two venues. The same coordination team handles both events, so nothing is lost between states.

  • Time to breathe. Rest days at each venue for Ayurvedic treatments, a boat on the canals or simply sleeping in.

  • Iconic South India scenery. Coconut palms and quiet water in Kerala, golden sand and sunsets in Goa.

  • Luxury, comfortable stays. Eight nights at two Taj resorts known for hosting weddings.

  • Clear, honest costs. The price shows stays, the flight and a modeled set-up for a core party. Bigger weddings are quoted on your actual plan.

ACCOMMODATION CATEGORIES

The two stays are the same in every tier. What changes is the room, and the scale of the set-up. Each tier maps to a room category at each stay, subject to availability on your dates.

Who This Package Is For

This package is designed for couples from abroad who want an intimate, beautiful celebration with close family and friends, rather than a 300-guest Indian wedding. It also suits couples renewing their vows or planning a symbolic ceremony after a legal wedding at home.

Planning something bigger? We regularly plan for larger groups and can quote rooms, meals and set-up for your full guest list.

Is a Wedding in India Legal for Foreigners?

This is one of the most common questions we hear, so here is a clear answer. A ceremony held at a resort in India is usually symbolic or religious and has no legal effect on its own. A legal marriage in India for foreign nationals generally follows the Special Marriage Act, which involves a notice period, a period of residence and local formalities.

That is why many couples register their marriage at home, before or after the trip, and hold their dream ceremony here. Your planner explains the options, and we refer you to a lawyer before you decide. This is general information, not legal advice.

How Much Does a Kerala and Goa Destination Wedding Cost?

A 9-day Kerala and Goa destination wedding costs about INR 703,080 to 759,326 per couple in the Premium tier, for the couple and a core party of up to 10 guests. This includes eight nights for the couple, the Kochi–Goa flight, transfers, a wedding planner at both venues, ceremony and reception set-up, photography and video, bridal make-up and two celebration dinners.

Itinerary (Day Wise)

This wedding trip gives you two very different settings in nine calm days. You land in Kochi and drive to Taj Kumarakom on the shore of Vembanad lake, where your planner meets you and walks you through everything. The next day is for the rehearsal, meeting your make-up artist and photographer, and a relaxed welcome dinner with your closest guests. On day three you marry on a lakeside lawn in the soft late-afternoon light. You can arrive by boat and wear Kerala dress (mundu and kasavu saree) if you like, and a celebration dinner follows. You then have a free day for an Ayurvedic treatment or a slow boat through the canals before an evening flight to Goa. At Taj Exotica in Benaulim, the same planning team sets up your reception on the beach. On day seven you celebrate on the sand at sunset with lanterns, a live band and a Goan seafood dinner under the stars. The last full day is yours to rest. The package covers a core party of up to 10 guests, and larger weddings are quoted by headcount. November to February is the best time to go.
