Goa wedding cost questions

How much does a Goa destination wedding cost?

A destination wedding in Goa for 150 guests over three nights, with three functions at a 4-star resort, costs about ₹52.6 lakh–₹1.14 crore (about US$55,000–119,000) in peak season, including our planning fee. A 50-guest wedding starts near ₹17.7–35.6 lakh; the biggest costs are rooms and food.

What is the biggest cost in a Goa wedding?

Rooms and food. With 80% of 150 guests staying three nights, rooms are usually a third of the budget, and catering for three functions another quarter. Choosing a boutique hotel instead of a 5-star resort changes the total more than any other decision.

When is a Goa wedding cheapest?

Rates are highest in November to February and lowest in June to September. Off-season dates can save 38% or more on rooms and venues, if the weather suits the kind of wedding you want.

How much is the Kalyan Co planning fee?

8–12% of the budget we manage, with a minimum of ₹3,50,000. It covers design, vendor contracts, guest travel coordination and the team on the days.

Are these prices final?

No. They are planning figures (version 0.1, 2026-09-24) to help you decide. Your quote is itemised line by line from real vendor rates for your dates.
