Why and How a Wedding Planner Helps You
Couples wishing to plan a wedding or vow renewal commonly work
long hours and are involved with other commitments. They don’t
have sufficient information, time and energy to efficiently
plan their event. Planning your destination wedding or vow
renewal miles away from home adds to the challenge. It is
difficult to trust people with such an important event when
you have not met them or seen their services. We try to
eliminate the stress, and select professionals whom you can
trust.
Most brides and grooms-to-be are unfamiliar with the wedding
planning process, and are often discouraged and frustrated.
Regal Weddings help to relieve you of that pressure so that
you can enjoy the process and your wedding festivity in India.

wedding and amount of the contract.
Do you have references? Can we speak to previous couples who
have used your services?
Please understand that we are the only company in India
actively involved in Palace and beach weddings and organize
the maximum weddings. Every day we receive more than 10
inquiries, so If we start asking our past client for
referrals, this will bother them. I can also tell you that
there is no company in India matching our experience or doing
same number of weddings, Our experience, past wedding database
and the media reviews will be enough to keep your confidence
in us. You can see the following links

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
1. Date of Wedding: 18-15 Months
2. Wedding Planner, Destination and Venue, Wedding Website:
15-12 Months
3. Accommodation and travel related arrangements: 12-10 Months
4. Guests List: 8-6 Months
5. Food Menu, Color Scheme, Decoration style, Flowers, Themes,
Cake, Photographer, Videographer, Beautician, Giveaways,
Bridal Dress, Jewelry, Invitations etc : 8-6 Months
6. Wedding Events Itinerary and Day wise time Timeline: 4-3
Months
7. Final list of services and deliverable by Wedding Planner:
3 Months atleast
8. Music: 2 Months
9. Transport and Logistics involved during Events: 45 days
atleast
10. Final draft of Wedding Plan, Telephonic/Email conversation
with the required Vendors like Beautician/DJ/Photographer etc
: 45 days
Atleast 30 days ahead of Wedding date you should offload all
the details and “deemed tensions” to the Wedding Planner! Just
relax and get yourself ready to begin a new phase of your
life.
