Study: Indian couples want memorable, affordable weddings

INDIAN COUPLES ARE exploring new wedding locations and planning large, personalized celebrations, according to a study commissioned by Wyndham Hotels & Resorts.
Wyndham conducted the survey of 1,000 recently engaged or married individuals across India to market its 60 hotels in the country.

The study found that the couples are adding unique and scenic destinations such as Darjeeling, Amritsar, Mussoorie and Dehradun to traditional locations such as
Goa, Udaipur and Jaipur in their wedding plans. It also found that large, multi-day weddings are resurging as couples look to make memories while balancing luxury
with budget-conscious choices through a more collaborative, hands-on approach to wedding planning.

“Wyndham’s wedding trend report reveals a shift toward unique, personalized wedding destinations like Goa and Udaipur reflecting a desire for more exclusive,
meaningful experiences,” said Dimitris Manikis, Wyndham’s president EMEA. “While large and multi-day celebrations are making a comeback, it is great to see
younger generations, especially Tech savvy Gen Z’s blending opulence with budget and sustainable-conscious choices, emphasising authenticity and collaboration.
At Wyndham, we’re dedicated to helping couples create unforgettable and personalized weddings, making it a moment to remember.”
