Our Latest Destination Bride Testimonial!

We had such a blast planning Shejal’s wedding in Jamaica. The backdrop itself made the wedding truly gorgeous, but our couple was the true gem!

Sejal is a true gem. She made my Jamaica destination wedding planning so easy and not stressful. She takes the time with you to go over everything in detail and helps you make decisions when you are frustrated. Even as little as deciding which type of table cloth to use, she will sit down and take the time out of her day to discuss the types and different looks. Sejal was able to execute my vision for all my events. Sapna and Arun, you both were simply amazing and made sure everything was set out accordingly for each event. Pathik and I are so thankful and grateful for The One Event and their hard work for making our wedding weekend absolutely PERFECT!!

It was our pleasure to work with you and your amazing family! Congratulations again to you and Pathik. Thank you for letting us be a part of your beautiful and fun wedding weekend!

We know planning weddings are never cheap and couples are spending more on their wedding. Whether it’s grand entrances from the groom, wedding outfits, venues, or vendors. A typical Indian wedding has at least four events and requires 15 to 20 vendors and can cost on average around $200,000. By comparison, an average American wedding normally consists of a ceremony and reception requiring four to seven vendors for around $29,000.

Indian wedding ceremonies vary, and the rising number of mixed marriages has led to fusion ceremonies. However, a typical (if there is such a thing) Indian wedding in the U.S. usually includes four events. During the ladies sangeet, female relatives sing to the bride. Then the bride is decorated with henna during the mehndi ceremony. For the wedding, the groom rides to the venue on a horse or an elephant in a processional called the baraat. For Hindu weddings, vows are said over an open flame. Everything wraps up with a reception.*

While we know it’s part of Indian culture to have such extraordinary weddings, we want to always want to find a way to save money for our couples. Therefore we found the 10 cheapest states to get married!
