The global wedding industry has long celebrated grandeur in places like Rajasthan, Italy, and the Maldives. But now, a quiet revolution is brewing in Kerala, where beaches, backwaters, and heritage venues are redefining luxury. According to a recent feature by Hindustan Times (read here), Kerala’s wedding planners are going global—and Scenario Weddings is proud to be part of this exciting transformation.
Our journey proves that love stories don’t always need billion-rupee budgets to shine; they need authenticity, cultural richness, and a global outlook.
For years, Rajasthan was India’s undisputed wedding capital. Palaces, forts, and desert backdrops attracted couples worldwide. But now, Kerala’s wedding planners are going global by showcasing something different—subtle elegance and cultural depth.

It made headlines because it showed why Kerala’s wedding planners are going global—they deliver intimacy with international standards.
This resonates strongly with NRIs and foreigners who value culture, sustainability, and personalized memories over size and scale.
