Weddings are awesome events to get a glimpse of tradition and enjoy wonderful local talent in a formal, yet fun setting. And, here are just a few of the many reasons why you’ll absolutely love to attend a Goan wedding …
Tantalising Goan cuisine apart, the wedding buffet generally includes delicious Indian cuisine among other delicacies, and the all-important sweet finales.
Guests can show off their dancing skills, while grooving to the beat of local, freestyle or elegant ballroom dances.
From the chuddo (bangles) to the wedding march, observe a variety of wedding traditions blending seamlessly into contemporary trends.
From choral to pop to retro and Bollywood, listen to the mind-blowing musical talent of Goan singers.
Assuming they are on the guest list, weddings are great places to meet up with friends, neighbours and distant relatives, while making a couple of new acquaintances, in the bargain.
Creative décor enhances Goa’s beautiful backdrops – such as beaches, verdant landscapes, and churches to name a few – and make for some lovely photo ops.
