Wedding Planning in Kotdwar: Halls, Caterers, Tent House and Decorators
A wedding in Kotdwar usually means two worlds meeting. There's the town wedding with a banquet, DJ and buffet, and the pahadi wedding with dhol-damau, mangal geet and relatives arriving from villages up the hill. Most families do a bit of both.
Here's how to put it together without losing your mind, or your budget.
Your booking timeline
| When | What to lock in |
|---|---|
| 6 to 9 months before | Fix the date with your pandit. Book the venue and caterer. |
| 4 to 6 months before | Photographer, tent house and decor, band or DJ. |
| 2 to 3 months before | Jewellery, outfits, tailor, bridal makeup trial. |
| 1 month before | Invitations out, final guest count to the caterer, transport for guests. |
| 1 week before | Confirm every vendor by phone and pay agreed advances. |
The peak season for weddings in Kotdwar runs from November to February, and again in April to June. Good halls book out early for popular muhurat dates.
