So without further ado, let’s get started..!!

• Wedding Venue

First thing first, we highly recommend you to find and book the wedding venue as soon as your wedding dates get fixed and you have finalized your guest list. Because generally good banquet halls in Delhi for wedding are not easily available and get booked in 6-9 months advance during the peak wedding season. Also, while you are looking for a wedding venue always keep your wedding budget in mind as well as the venue’s capacity and in-house services you want. 

• Wedding Decor & Food Menu

Although, most of the wedding venues offered in-house decoration and catering services. Still, if you want some customization in wedding decor or have any specific wedding theme in mind then we suggest you to start looking for wedding decorators accordingly and book them as soon as possible. Also, if you want to hire a wedding caterers then we recommend that you book them as well at least 3 months in advance. But just make sure that your wedding venue has the policy to allow outside wedding decorators and caterers.

Also, decide on the look you want for each of your wedding function and try to shop accordingly. As well brides should book the hairstylist and makeup artist they want for their wedding, at least 3 months in advance.
