The Ultimate Guide for NRI Couples Planning a Luxury Wedding in India
For NRI couples, tying the knot in India is a dream woven with vibrant traditions, royal venues, and the warmth of family and friends. The allure of majestic palaces, sun-kissed beaches, and opulent resorts makes India a top destination for luxury weddings. However, orchestrating such an event from miles away can feel overwhelming. The secret? Partnering with the right wedding planner who understands your vision, streamlines the process, and ensures that your big day is as seamless as it is spectacular.
The Key to a Stress-Free Destination Wedding – The Right Wedding Planner
Luxury weddings are more than just grand venues and extravagant decor; they require meticulous planning, expertise, and a deep understanding of logistics. Unfortunately, many NRI couples fall into the trap of inexperienced planners who dazzle with a fancy website but lack execution capabilities.
Ajay Modgil, Partner at F5 Weddings, emphasizes, “A wedding planner isn’t just about picking the right flowers or linens; they are your eyes and ears on the ground. With the right team, you get access to vetted vendors, reliable coordination, and a stress-free planning journey.”
With over 100 destination weddings successfully executed for NRI couples, F5 Weddings ensures a personalized, luxurious, and seamless experience. They have a dedicated team of over 50 professionals, with heads of departments boasting over 10 years of experience in their respective fields. From securing the most sought-after venues to curating bespoke experiences for guests, they take care of every detail, so couples can truly enjoy their wedding celebrations without the hassle.
Why India is the Ultimate Luxury Wedding Destination
India offers a myriad of breathtaking locations to host your dream wedding. Here are some top picks:
- Royal Palaces & Forts (Rajasthan, Udaipur, Jaipur, Jodhpur) – Immerse yourself in regal splendor with historic venues like The Taj Lake Palace or Umaid Bhawan Palace.
- Beachside Bliss (Goa, Kerala, Andaman & Nicobar Islands) – Perfect for couples seeking a laid-back yet luxurious affair with stunning ocean backdrops.
- Hilltop Romance (Mussoorie, Rishikesh, Coorg) – Misty mountains and intimate settings create the perfect setting for an enchanting celebration.
- Urban Extravaganza (Mumbai, Delhi, Hyderabad, Bangalore) – For those who want the best of modern luxury and convenience.
What Makes a Luxury Wedding Truly Special?
Beyond the grandeur of the venue, it’s the finer details that elevate a wedding from memorable to magical. Here’s how the right planning makes all the difference:
- Exquisite Venue Selection – Choosing a venue that aligns with your vision and guest convenience is crucial.
- Tailored Guest Experience – From personalized itineraries to curated experiences, every guest should feel special.
- Gourmet Culinary Delights – India’s diverse cuisine allows for customized menus that cater to global tastes.
- Exclusive Entertainment – From celebrity performers to traditional artists, entertainment should leave a lasting impression.
- Flawless Execution & Logistics – From guest hospitality to seamless event flow, every element needs precision.
Avoiding Wedding Planning Pitfalls
The wedding industry is brimming with ‘fly-by-night’ planning companies that promise the world but fail to deliver. Many startups with a flashy website and social media presence often rely on freelancers with no accountability.
Purvi Modgil, Partner at F5 Weddings, cautions, “We have seen couples struggle with unreliable planners who disappear when issues arise. It’s crucial to partner with seasoned professionals who bring experience, industry connections, and a proven track record.”
To ensure you choose wisely:
- Always verify the planner’s past work and client testimonials.
- Look for teams with in-house execution capabilities rather than outsourcing to freelancers.
- Insist on transparency in vendor selection and budgeting.
- Ensure they have handled large-scale destination weddings before.

Tanay and Miloni’s journey together
Tanay and Miloni had known each other for as long as they could remember.
It was nothing short of extraordinary, a bond that had woven itself into the very fabric of their lives from an early age. They met in school, both bright-eyed and curious, but what began as a simple connection between classmates soon blossomed into something much deeper.
In school, they started out as just friends, but their connection went far beyond the typical relationship. It was the kind of bond that felt effortless, as if they could read each other’s thoughts without needing to speak. Whether it was through moments of laughter or the times when life seemed heavy, they always seemed to understand each other in a way no one else did.
As time passed, Tanay and Miloni realized that what they had was rare. They had witnessed each other grow, changed together, and become the people they were because of the other. Their connection was more than just a friendship—it was a deep, unwavering partnership that withstood the test of time. And one day, it became clear that the bond they shared was meant to last forever. That was when they decided to take the next step in their journey, realizing that their hearts had always known this was where they were headed.
Tanay and Miloni’s journey together reached a beautiful milestone when they got married in a stunning ceremony at the St. Regis, Mumbai.
The two-day after-party at Alila Diwa, Goa, was nothing short of magical—a perfect extension of the love, laughter, and joy that had defined Tanay and Miloni’s wedding celebration. Nestled in the heart of Goa’s serene landscape, surrounded by lush, emerald-green foliage, the resort provided an idyllic setting for an unforgettable post-wedding experience.
It wasn’t just an after-party; it was a continuation of the couple’s beautiful journey, a chance for their closest friends and family to come together and celebrate this new chapter in their lives.
