## Questions

### How much does an Indian destination wedding cost in Australian dollars?

For 150 guests over three days at a 4-star resort, most couples spend roughly A$62,000–136,000. That covers rooms, food, décor, photography and our planning. The calculator shows your own numbers in Australian dollars.

### Is a marriage in India recognised in Australia?

In most cases, yes. The Australian Government’s Smartraveller says it is, if the marriage was valid in India and would have been valid under Australian law. An overseas marriage can’t be registered in Australia. Most couples marry legally at home and celebrate in India.

### When is the best time for an Australian couple to marry in India?

December to February, when India’s wedding season meets the Australian summer holidays. Book 9–12 months ahead for those dates.
