How to Plan a Dream Wedding in Kerala 🕊️

Introduction

Planning a wedding can feel overwhelming—but with the right strategy and the perfect team, your dream celebration in Kerala’s breathtaking landscapes can become a reality.

At OneBox, we’ve helped couples turn moments into memories—whether it’s an intimate beach ceremony or a grand palace celebration. Here’s your ultimate, stress-free guide to planning a flawless wedding in Kerala.

Step 1: Define Your Wedding Vision

What do you see when you close your eyes?
A barefoot beach wedding at sunset? A grand Nair-style ceremony in a traditional tharavadu? Or a modern Christian wedding under floral chandeliers?

Your vision sets the tone for everything else.

Step 2: Set Your Budget – Wisely

Weddings in Kerala can range from ₹5 lakhs to ₹2 crores and beyond. But it’s not about how much you spend—it’s about how smartly you allocate your budget.

Pro Tip from OneBox:

Allocate 40% for venue and food, 30% for décor and production, 10% for photography, and keep a 10% buffer.

Step 3: Choose the Perfect Venue

Kerala offers everything from backwater resorts to hilltop palaces. OneBox has exclusive partnerships with top venues in:

Alleppey (Backwater Resorts)
Kochi (Heritage Hotels)
Munnar (Hilltop Retreats)
Kovalam (Luxury Beachfronts)

Step 4: Lock in the Date & Season

Kerala’s best wedding season is from October to March (cooler climate, less rain). Avoid peak monsoon unless you want an indoor setup with a dreamy rain aesthetic.

Bonus Tip:

Consider weekdays—venues cost less and vendors have more availability.

Step 5: Book Your Dream Team (Or Just Book OneBox 😉)

Rather than juggling 10+ vendors, imagine working with a single powerhouse that does everything:

✔️ Venue Booking
✔️ Decor & Stage Setup
✔️ Catering
✔️ Entertainment
✔️ Guest Management
✔️ Photography & Cinematics
✔️ Surprise elements like drone entries or live art

That’s the OneBox promise—we own your celebration like it’s our own.

Step 6: Customize Your Theme & Decor

Your wedding should feel like YOU. Whether you’re dreaming of:

A minimal white & gold Malayali aesthetic
Boho beach vibes with pastel florals
A regal North Indian palace feel

Our in-house designers will craft every detail—right down to the font on your place cards.

Step 7: Add Local Flavor (Literally)

From a live Sadya experience on banana leaves to a Toddy & Tapioca welcome bar—add a touch of Kerala your guests will never forget.

And don’t forget the Chenda Melam for a powerful grand entry.

Step 8: Make It Yours

Add those personal touches:

A “how we met” photo wall
Voice-over vows playing during the entry
A first dance under falling jasmine petals

Every wedding is different—your story deserves to be told your way.

Step 9: Guest Comfort is King

Luxury isn’t just decor—it’s how guests feel.

We handle:

Transportation
Personalized welcome kits
24/7 guest helpline
Kid & elder care at venues
