As a location for a destination wedding in India, Kerala is a very unique state because it offers a wide array of wedding venues. One can get married on the pristine white sands of Varkala or Kovalam beach or in a beautiful heritage establishment or hotel in Kochi.

Planning a destination wedding between the months of October to March is the best because it is pleasant enough to have outdoor ceremonies during the day or evening.
Hyderabad
Hyderabad is a 400 year old city known for its historical attractions and age-old charm. One of the most bustling metro cities in India, it is also one of the most perfect venues to have a grand and beautiful destination wedding in India.
