The guides

Planning a Goa wedding: the working guides

Everything we keep explaining on calls, written down properly. Costs with real numbers, rules as they are actually enforced, and the decisions in the order they come at you.

Per-plate rates for named venues, what ₹10 lakh to ₹1 crore buys, and the three levers that move the number.

All-inclusive packages, venue by venue

What a planner-assembled package at ten named Goa venues includes and leaves out: rooms, food, licences, the sound cut-off, transfers.
