A Kerala wedding in 2026 typically costs between ₹8 lakh and ₹35 lakh. The exact amount depends on three main factors: your city, guest count, and wedding style. A simple community hall wedding in Palakkad with 150 guests is a different budget from a destination wedding at a Kumarakom resort with 400 guests.
The biggest expense categories are venue (20-30% of budget), catering (15-25%), and photography (8-15%). Decoration, attire, and jewellery make up another significant chunk. Our calculator breaks down all 13 categories with Kerala-specific pricing.
Kochi is the most expensive city for weddings in Kerala, with venues and vendors charging a premium. Trivandrum follows closely. Cities like Kozhikode, Thrissur, and Alappuzha sit in the mid-range. For the most affordable weddings, look at Palakkad, Malappuram, Kottayam, Kollam, and Kannur — where costs can be 15-20% lower than Kochi.
