Organizing a destination wedding to Goa is about finding balance between luxury and laid-back coastal bliss. However, the overall cost is going to depend on many factors including the type of venue, number of guests, decor, catering and what time of the year it is. Understanding those factors will allow you to have the beach wedding of your dreams that is beautiful, and good for your wallet too.
Goa has everything from upscale beach resorts and heritage Portuguese villas to cozy beach shacks. Your venue selection affects most of your total budget. Premium resorts with a close access to the beach will be the most expensive, while smaller boutique stays or local stays will reduce this cost.
The guest count you invite, will directly impact costs such as catering, stay, and transport. If you have an intimate event with 50–100 guests, the expense will be quite different than if you invite 300 guests for a splashy wedding. Often, Goan venues will provide packages for accommodation and meals, which reduces your overall expense.
Wedding pricing will fluctuate depending upon the season. The peak season for weddings in Goa is November to February. November to February is expensive because of tourism and wedding season. The off-season is April to September, and weddings are generally more budget-friendly. Additionally, showing the day of the week can generate additional savings.
The type of décor theme, type of food, and entertainment you choose also has an impact on your budget. As an example, a minimalist boho-style beach décor theme typically will be less expensive than a full-scale flower extravaganza. Similarly, adding live bands, DJs, and/or fireworks will add costs as you finalize your budget. Your catering menu will also shift the cost both incrementally and dramatically depending upon whether you are looking for local Goan dishes to suit an indigenous clientele, or an international spread.
Lots of couples enjoy extending the celebration of their Goan wedding with pre-wedding pool parties, yacht outings, or sundowner cocktails on the beach. While these extras can help create memorable experiences, they can also add to the total cost of the wedding.
