City, guests, style — get a real ₹-range in under a minute. Built on 2026 vendor rates from across India.
Kochi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Delhi, Chennai, Hyderabad, and more — with city-specific pricing.
Most Indian weddings in 2026 land somewhere between ₹8 lakh and ₹50 lakh — but that range hides a story. A 150-guest community hall wedding in a tier-2 city and a 400-guest luxury resort wedding in Mumbai are two completely different budgets. Your city, guest count, and style decide where on the scale you land.
Venue (20-30%), catering (15-25%), and photography (8-15%) are where most of your budget goes. Decoration, attire, and jewellery make up another significant chunk. Our calculator breaks down all 13 categories with city-specific pricing across India.
Mumbai and Delhi are the most expensive cities for weddings in India, with venues and vendors charging a premium. Bangalore and Hyderabad follow closely. Cities like Kochi, Chennai, Jaipur, and Lucknow sit in the mid-range. For the most affordable weddings, look at tier-2 cities like Coimbatore, Kottayam, Indore, and Bhopal — where costs can be 15-30% lower than metro cities.
