Jim Corbett wedding cost questions

How much does a Jim Corbett destination wedding cost?

A destination wedding in Jim Corbett for 150 guests over three nights, with three functions at a 4-star resort, costs about ₹45.4–95.7 lakh (about US$48,000–100,000) in peak season, including our planning fee. A 50-guest wedding starts near ₹15.7–29.9 lakh; the biggest costs are rooms and food.

What is the biggest cost in a Jim Corbett 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 Jim Corbett wedding cheapest?

Rates are highest in November to February and lowest in July and August. Off-season dates can save 26% 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.
