NRI and legal notes

  • Legal vs ceremony: Most couples complete the legal registration in India and hold a symbolic or religious ceremony abroad, which avoids foreign marriage-registration complexity.
  • Indian catering: Confirm the venue allows an outside Indian caterer or has an in-house Indian kitchen; imported catering and chefs add cost.
  • Guest logistics: Factor visas, flights and a multi-night room block for your guest list into the all-in budget.
