A hand-curated directory of Kerala's best
Choosing the right team for your wedding shouldn't feel like scrolling through search results. Every vendor on itsmy.wedding has been personally reviewed — portfolios inspected, references checked, pricing verified. We turn away more vendors than we list, so when you find someone here, you can trust they've earned their place. From heritage mandapam halls in Guruvayoor to beachfront resorts in Kovalam, from photographers who've shot 500+ Kerala weddings to decorators who know the difference between jasmine and chrysanthemum garlands — this is where couples start.
How every vendor earns their place
Our review process has five checkpoints: business registration and GST verification, a portfolio review with at least 10 recent weddings, reference calls with two couples who've booked the vendor in the last six months, a pricing benchmark against the category to flag outliers, and a conversation with the vendor about their availability calendar and team size. Roughly 40% of vendors who apply don't make it through. The ones who do get a verified badge, real-time availability controls, and priority placement in category search — but they also accept higher standards, including a 48-hour response SLA for every enquiry.
What a Kerala wedding actually costs
Pricing spans wildly by city, season, and style. Venues range from ₹50,000 for a modest auditorium in Thrissur to ₹15+ lakhs for heritage palace halls or beachfront resorts in Kovalam. Photographers span ₹40,000 to ₹3+ lakhs for full-day coverage. Catering is usually per-plate (₹400–₹1,500 depending on whether you're serving sadya, buffet, or fusion). Decorators start around ₹75,000 for basic mandap work and go to ₹5+ lakhs for elaborate themed productions. A typical mid-range Kerala wedding lands at ₹8–15 lakhs total for 200–400 guests — venue plus catering plus photography plus decor plus makeup.

Planning for every tradition
Kerala weddings come in many forms. A traditional Hindu nuptial ceremony (Nair, Namboodiri, or other Brahmin communities) has its own rituals, auspicious timings, and vendor expectations — sadya caterers, thali kettu coordinators, temple-adjacent venues. A Kerala Christian wedding (Syrian Orthodox, Marthoma, or Latin) revolves around a church ceremony followed by a hotel reception, with different catering and dress conventions. A Mappila Muslim nikah in Malabar has its own community-specific vendors, from nikah venues to traditional Malabari biryani caterers. And a fusion celebration can mix all of the above across a two or three day event. Every vendor listed on this page understands which traditions they serve, so you won't waste time explaining your ceremony to someone who's never shot one.
