Destination weddings are expected to account for 30-32 per cent of all Indian weddings by 2028, up from nearly one in four currently, as couples increasingly opt for smaller, experience-led celebrations, according to WedMeGood's Destination Wedding Report 2026.

The report said destination wedding spending has increased 8 per cent year-on-year, with the average destination wedding budget reaching Rs 58 lakh, reflecting a growing preference for personalised experiences. Domestic destination weddings now have an average budget of Rs 58 lakh, while international destination weddings average over Rs 1.5 crore.
