Beyond Planning,
Curating Experiences

True luxury lies in seamless execution and personalised touches. Our approach goes beyond standard wedding planning — we immerse ourselves in the vision of the couple and the families to curate bespoke experiences that resonate with everyone who travels for them.

From concept to send-off, we manage the complexities so you can focus on your guests and enjoy every moment.

Bespoke Design Celebrations shaped around the couple, the families and the season — never templated, never assumed.
Meticulous Planning Comprehensive logistics, budget management and scheduling for a flawless flow across every event of the wedding.
Exclusive Access Rare and private venues through our global network — including palace and island dates not openly available.
Uncompromising Quality Partnering with premium vendors — florists, photographers, choreographers, designers — who meet our exacting standards.

Frequently Asked

Planning Your
Destination Wedding

How early should we begin planning a destination wedding? +
For a full programme — multi-day, full venue privatisation — we recommend twelve to eighteen months. The best palace and island venues release dates that far in advance and book quickly. For smaller weddings and vow renewals, we routinely deliver within three to six months.
How many guests do you typically design weddings for? +
We design weddings from twenty to six hundred guests. Around eighty to two hundred is our most common size — large enough for a full multi-day programme, small enough for the personal touch our families come to us for.
Will you produce the wedding as well as plan it? +
Yes. We hold one contract with the family and integrate our design, florals, F&B, choreography, AV and gifting teams under a single project lead. You speak to one wedding designer, not a chain of vendors.
Can you arrange a whole-property buy-out of a palace or island? +
Frequently. Through our preferred-partner relationships with Taj, Oberoi, Aman, Soneva, Six Senses and Leela, we routinely secure full property privatisations for weddings — including dates that are not publicly available.
How do you handle privacy, photography and security? +
We close registers, brief security teams, control press and social-media access on site and route all guest communication through a private portal. For weddings with public-figure families, NDAs for staff and vendors are standard.
Do you handle travel and accommodation for all the guests? +
Always. We block hotel inventory, manage RSVPs, arrange visa support, charter flights or commercial group bookings, dietary briefs and transfers — for every guest, from invitation to send-off.
Can you design Hindu, Sikh, Muslim, Christian, multi-faith and same-sex ceremonies? +
Yes — and frequently all in one wedding. Our designers are familiar with the rituals, timings and family customs across faiths, and we plan multi-faith and same-sex weddings with the same discretion and care.
What is the typical investment for a destination wedding through Luxury Retreats? +
Wedding programmes generally begin from around USD 250,000 for an intimate three-day event and rise considerably for full venue privatisations of palaces or islands. We will provide a transparent, itemised budget with the initial proposal — no surprises on invoice day.
