How it runs
The first call establishes the shape: the month, the guest count, what the family will not compromise on, and which country everyone is flying from. From there we send a venue shortlist with real numbers — capacity, rooms, per-plate signals from our book — not brochures.
Venues are walked twice: once on video with us holding the camera, and once in person on your single planning trip. Design happens in between, over calls scheduled for your evening — the mandap, the tables, the flow of each day — reviewed and approved in writing, then built for your venue in Goa.
By the time you land for the wedding week there is nothing left to decide. The schedule is printed in two timezones, the vendors are contracted on terms you saw, and the team that has been on every call is the team standing at the venue.
Budgets on this site are in rupees; ≈ USD / GBP / AED at ₹1 = $0.0115 / £0.0089 / AED 0.042 (indicative, Aug 2026). We quote in rupees; your bank sets the day's rate.
Ask for a call in your time zoneWho plans Goa weddings for couples living abroad?
The Goa Wedding Co. is a wedding planning and design studio at Altinho, Panaji, that plans weddings in Goa for NRI and overseas couples. Planning runs on video calls in the couple’s time zone, with designs, budgets and approvals confirmed in writing, and one planning trip before the wedding week.
What families abroad ask us
Can you plan a Goa wedding if we live abroad?
Yes. Planning runs on video calls scheduled for your evening, every decision is confirmed in writing by email, and the studio is in Panaji for everything that has to happen on the ground.
How do we choose a Goa venue without flying in?
We walk the venue on a video call (the lawn, the ballroom, the beach access, the rooms) and follow up with photographs, floor plans and the venue’s current rates by email. When you do fly in, the shortlist is compressed into one or two days of visits, so a single trip can settle the venue, the menu tasting and the design direction.
How many trips to Goa will we need before the wedding?
Plan on one. Design reviews, vendor decisions and guest logistics can all run over video calls and written approvals, so the trip is for seeing the shortlisted venues and the tasting.
How do payments work from overseas?
Against a written payment schedule you approve before anything is booked. Who pays whom, and when, is set out in your proposal, and you see every quote before it is signed. Ask for that schedule from any planner before you pay an advance.
Can you manage guests flying in from abroad?
Yes — room blocks at the venue or nearby, airport pickups from both Goa airports, and a wedding-week schedule shared with every guest. Goa has two airports: Dabolim in the south and Mopa in the north, and which one your guests should fly into depends on where your venue is. We tell you before anyone books a ticket.
We are an NRI couple — is a Goa wedding legally valid for us?
The celebration and the legal marriage are separate questions. Many overseas couples register the marriage at home or in their home city in India and hold the wedding in Goa; others register in Goa itself, which has its own civil-code process with a residence requirement. We walk you through both routes in plain language — the details are in our guide to getting married legally in Goa.
