The global destination wedding market is all set to cross a whopping USD 36.8 billion in 2025 and grow to around USD 68.2 billion by 2035, with a CAGR of 6.4%. So, it’s no surprise that more couples are swapping banquet halls for beaches, palaces, and faraway islands to say “I do.”
With rising disposable incomes and a growing desire for personalized experiences, destination weddings have become more than just a trend—they’re a full-blown movement. If you're ready to turn your shaadi into a globe-trotting adventure, here are the best planners across India and beyond who can make it happen:
India offers a dreamy palette of locations for every kind of wedding. Think Udaipur’s royal forts, Goa’s golden beaches, Kerala’s serene backwaters, and the untouched beauty of the Andaman Islands. Making this magic come alive is TheWeddingCompany.com, India’s biggest wedding planning platform since its founding in 2023.
With over 1,000 weddings under its belt, this tech-powered planner is the go-to for urban couples in over 50 Indian cities. From concept to execution, they handle everything—venues, vendors, décor, logistics—so you just focus on the pheras (and the selfies).
Thailand continues to be the top pick for Indian destination weddings, thanks to its affordability, luxurious hospitality, and cultural familiarity. Be it a beachfront mandap in Phuket or a luxe ballroom in Bangkok, Thailand nails the brief every time.
At the center of it all is IndoBangkok Weddings, led by Dilbir Sahni aka Bob, who founded the company in 2000. Known for bridging India and Thailand through weddings, films, and culture, Bob has pulled off over 410 events and projects, making IndoBangkok a trusted name in international wedding circles.
White sands, turquoise waters, and overwater pheras—Maldives is a luxury wedding dream come true. Whether it’s a mehendi by the beach or a mandap floating over the ocean, Maldives weddings are intimate, lavish, and unforgettable.
Swaaha Weddings & Experiences, co-founded by Mareesha Parikh and Hemant Kale, specializes in making this paradise wedding fantasy a reality. With complete end-to-end planning—including custom décor, Indian rituals, and unique guest experiences—Swaaha brings soulful elegance to every celebration.
If opulence is on your shaadi vision board, Dubai is your destination. From desert soirées to rooftop pheras overlooking the Burj Khalifa, Dubai blends luxury with ease like no other. Direct flights, easy visas, and Indian-friendly services make it an obvious choice for big fat Indian weddings abroad.
Enter Ikigaii Planners, a boutique wedding company run by Heeital and Vaibbhav, known for their ultra-personalized planning and flawless execution. Whether it’s an intimate wedding or a week-long extravaganza, Ikigaii ensures your big day is equal parts glam and graceful.
