Wedding in Goa
Goa is an incredibly diverse and multifaceted corner of India, here you can organize a variety of wedding ceremonies. An official celebration is possible, but most often it is refused because of bureaucratic difficulties. The fact is that the marriage procedure in India is confirmed by the state, but in addition it is sealed by a clergyman. That is why guests of India prefer symbolic celebrations.
Features of the symbolic celebration are determined only by the imagination and budget of the young. The easiest and most affordable option is to entrust the organization and conduct of the wedding to a representative of the hotel. Hotels in Goa offer several options for organizing the celebration:
- under the crown of the amazing Bengal ficus, better known in India as the sacred banyan tree;
- on the beach, this ceremony can include an elephant;
- maharaja style.
