Every day we receive more than 10 inquiries, so If we start asking our past client for referrals, this will bother them.

You can see the following links www.regal-weddings.com/couples.htm, www.regal-weddings.com/media.htm

Is our wedding Legal?
Religious Hindu/English wedding ceremony is not legally proven in India unlike other countries; you have to undergo civil registration which is a cumbersome procedure with Court and Registrar. We would honestly recommend you to take care of legal part in your own country to save grueling formalities and time and enjoy your religious blessings with beautiful setups of Regal weddings. This is what our most of couples do.

What language the ceremony will be in?
A Christian/English ceremony will be conducted in English and Hindu ceremony may have an English translation of the instructions by Priest. The chanting will be in Sanskrit. We also organize a brief itinerary and description of various Hindu rituals to be circulated to the Guests during Ceremony making it easier for them to understand the process they would witness.

5. Tips :

When do you suggest we start to plan our wedding in India?
We suggest you start planning your wedding in India 8 -12 months in advance. The first stage is to find a venue and secure the date as many places get booked well in advance as they are very popular with foreigners and Indians. We can arrange a wedding in as little as 2 months but in these cases there will be a limited selection of places to choose from especially if you are a group of people.

Some of the key decisions and the best time to decide on them are
