What a wedding in Panaji costs
Food is the line you can price before anyone quotes you. Of the 3 venues here, 3 publish a per-plate rate, running from ₹1,600/₹1,800 to ₹2,500/₹3,000 a head. For 150 guests over two main meals that is ₹4.8 lakh to ₹7.5 lakh. It is a starting rate rather than a quote: menu, bar, season and guest count all move it, and December prices differently from October.
Rooms usually cost more than the food, and decor and the planning fee sit on top. The Goa wedding cost guide works the whole budget by bracket and by guest count, with the per-plate table for every venue in the book.
Before you shortlist a Panaji venue
Put the same questions to every property: when outdoor music stops, whether it is licensed for events, how it charges, and what the covered fallback is. They are answered once in ten questions for any Goa venue. The rest of North Goa is on the North Goa venue hub.
