Frequently Asked Questions
Why do two cities differ so much in cost?
Venue rates and per-plate catering are the two biggest levers, and both vary by a factor of two or more across Indian markets. Vendor availability and travel for guests then move the total further.
Should we pick the cheaper city?
Not automatically. A cheaper city that most of your guests cannot reach easily will cost you attendance, and attendance is what the wedding is for. The comparison shows both so you can weigh them.
Does this include guest travel?
It flags the travel and accessibility difference between the two cities rather than pricing individual flights, since that depends entirely on where your guests are coming from.
