A normal Indian wedding is always elaborate and continues for at
least two days. Some of them even get extended to the third day. Current
day weddings especially among the affluent class, while gives
preference for the traditional rituals, also provides a sense of
participation and relaxation to the participating guests, on all the
days. During such weddings, suitable standby travel arrangements are
provided for the ready use of the guests, though, most of them may own a
chauffeur driven car.
Destination Wedding
Another interesting aspect that is fast catching up is destination
wedding. Such weddings have become more common among affluent business
families and in cases where both the bride and groom are well employed.
Exotic locations within the country or in an overseas destination have
become a norm for such weddings. All the invited guests are extended
with to-and- fro travel arrangement from their own places or from a
common place.
For the chosen locations within India, inorder to offer travel
comfort to the guests’, luxury busses or cars are arranged. Depending of
the arranged destination air/train travel advance bookings are made.
Some of the Indian locations that are well-known for destination wedding
include Rajasthan, Goa and Kerala.
For the weddings that are planned in some of the most preferred
overseas countries such as Thailand, Mauritius, Sri Lanka, Malaysia,
Indonesia, Caribbean, Maldives, Seychelles and Fiji, air travel and
local transportation arrangements are made. Invited guests are informed
in advance about such wedding to know their availability to arrange
visas and complete other travel formalities.
Honeymoon
Honeymoon is the first real occasion for the couple to be all alone
and on their own. A perfect honeymoon is possible only with a flawless
planning. A clear understanding between the couple, about the choice of
place, makes the honeymoon days happy and fruitful. Most of the time, it
is the allocated budget that decides the national or international
destination for a honeymoon. It is essential for the couples to refrain
from allowing their individual tastes to dominate the honeymoon location
choice. Intelligent couples try to have a few best locations as their
choice to narrow down the choice and finally select a common place of
interest.
Role of wedding planners
Making travel arrangements during the wedding, conducting destination
weddings in India as well in a foreign country and providing tailor
made honeymoon packages have become a part of the wedding planning
services. In addition to making arrangements for wedding, most of the
corporate wedding planning companies are equipped to make flawless
travel arrangements. The adequate knowledge and experience in arranging
such packages and the proximity to travel service providers allows the
corporate wedding planning companies to make perfect arrangements.
The parents on their part find it convenient to deal with a single
source ie. the wedding planner to make all the local and international
travel, air/train ticket booking, completing visa formalities and
boarding and lodging arrangements needed for all the occasions.
