Existing Challenges & How Hoteliers Can Help
Large-scale events can be challenging, particularly when dealing with inconsistent infrastructure. Issues such as poor parking facilities and difficult access to venues not designed for large weddings can complicate planning. Investing in better infrastructure, such as expanding parking and ensuring easy venue access, is crucial.
Hotels’ exclusive vendor agreements limit wedding planners’ choices, including caterers, florists, and audiovisual companies. Expanding their list of preferred vendors and allowing external vendors, provided they meet quality criteria, would enhance the wedding planning experience. By opening up options beyond the hotel’s internal network, planners can bring in specialists who offer more specialized services or better align with the couple’s specific vision.
Limited menu options that do not cater to diverse dietary preferences and cultural requirements can be another significant issue. Hotels should offer customizable catering packages that include a wide range of cuisines, including local and international selections, and accommodate specific dietary needs, such as vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options.
Weddings in India vs. Organizing Weddings Abroad
Many couples choose to wed in India to honor its rich cultural traditions, seeking an authentic experience. The country offers diverse options catering to various budgets, from palatial luxury hotels to more affordable venues. The blend of traditional and contemporary elements in Indian weddings provides a distinctive charm and warmth that many couples and their families cherish.
While some might assume weddings abroad offer better infrastructure or cost savings, this is not always the case. International weddings can be more challenging in terms of costs and logistics. However, for those seeking a different experience, destinations abroad can be considered for pre- and post-wedding celebrations.
