Checklist Before Choosing Kerala As Your Wedding Destination

It’s been chosen as one of the 50 places on earth you MUST visit. Known as God’s own country for a reason, it is the land of backwaters, beaches, and breathtaking beauty. What’s more, it is also quickly gaining popularity as a wedding destination. But, what must one consider before choosing the ‘land of coconuts’, Kerala, as your wedding destination?

Here is a quick checklist to note while choosing Kerala as your wedding destination! :

Weather

Firstly, check the weather. Monsoon weddings are fast gaining popularity, especially during the months between September to March. They are best suitable for an outdoor wedding. Think beautiful virgin beaches or lush green plantations.

Venue

Next, pick your venue or resort depending on the kind of ceremony you want and the number of guests. Make sure that the resort or venue has enough space, activities and facilities to accommodate your entire wedding party. Do talk to your wedding planners about local customs and more so that no confusions occur. Be aware of restrictions on timing, attire, alcohol, etc.

Accessibility

Some of the beautiful locations are not easily accessible. The transportation costs of the guests can be a big drain on your budget. Check with your wedding planner  and make arrangements well in advance. Always consider accommodation for the crew, like photographers, makeup artists, etc. It may not be feasible for them to arrive on time on the D-day. Talk to your wedding coordinators about distances and budget-friendly accommodation for the team nearby.

Explore the possibility of accommodating the wedding party at two different places. When done right, this can easily amp up the fun. Wedding planners should be able to suggest accommodations that are close enough to allow for two venues, without running up the costs.

A destination wedding in Kerala gives you many opportunities to explore the land and its unique charm. Take maximum advantage of having chosen Kerala as your wedding destination. Wedding organizers will be able to present you with interesting options such as boat races or Thiruvathira (a local dance form) performances while adding flair to your celebrations.

Remember you are away from home. Keep your event coordinator or resort/hotel in the loop about special diets, food allergies, etc. ahead of time.

And most importantly, soak in the gorgeous greenery and the wonderful tropical weather; not for a moment should you forget that is this not just your wedding, it’s also a holiday!
