Why South Asian Weddings?
South Asian weddings are celebrations of colour, connection and culture. They’re multi‑day events, driven by strong family involvement, rich rituals, and high guest counts.
​
Why it matters for venues:
-
Larger guest numbers = bigger bookings
-
Higher budgets per event
-
Multi‑day celebrations mean repeat revenue
-
Word‑of‑mouth reputation within close‑knit communities
​
What Makes Them Different
South Asian and fusion weddings often include:
-
Multi‑day schedules with different ceremonies
-
Cultural and religious rituals requiring specific spaces and layouts
-
Vibrant décor, draping, and staging
-
Unique music and entertainment needs
-
Diverse catering requirements (vegetarian, vegan, halal, live food stations)
-
Strong family involvement in planning and decision‑making
