Agra—home to the eternal symbol of love, the Taj Mahal—is fast becoming one of India’s top destinations for couples dreaming of a royal yet romantic wedding. With its majestic forts, heritage hotels, and Mughal charm, Agra offers an unforgettable backdrop for your big day.
But one of the most common questions we get asked as professional wedding planners in Agra is:
“How much does a destination wedding in Agra actually cost?”
The short answer? It depends on several factors—venue, guest list, décor, food, and the overall experience you want to create. But don’t worry—we’ll break it down for you so you can start planning with clarity.
