Vadodara, the cultural capital of Gujarat, is arguably one of the most beautiful cities to get married in. From the regal backdrop of the Laxmi Vilas Palace to the lush green resorts on the outskirts, the options are endless.
However, planning a wedding here isn’t just about picking a pretty venue. We have seen many families get overwhelmed by the sheer logistics of a "Big Fat Indian Wedding."
If you are planning your big day in 2025, here are the top 5 mistakes to avoid—and how to fix them.
1. Underestimating the "Gujarat Heat" (and Rain)
We all love an outdoor lawn wedding, but the weather in Vadodara can be unpredictable.
The Mistake: Booking an open-air venue for a daytime function without adequate cooling or rain cover.
The Fix: Always have a "Plan B." Whether it’s mist fans for a summer Mehendi or a waterproof German tent for a monsoon Sangeet, ensure your Wedding Planner in Vadodara has a contingency plan ready.
2. DIY-ing the Logistics
It’s tempting to ask uncles and cousins to handle transport or guest check-ins to save money.
The Mistake: Relatives get busy enjoying the wedding, and suddenly, the groom’s car hasn’t arrived, or VIP guests are stuck at the hotel reception.
The Fix: Hire a professional hospitality team. A dedicated team ensures that your family stays on the dance floor, not on the phone coordinating drivers.
3. Blowing the Budget on Decor but Ignoring Lighting
You can spend lakhs on exotic flowers, but if the lighting is flat, the photos will look dull.
The Mistake: treating lighting as an afterthought.
The Fix: Lighting is the "jewelry" of the venue. A good Event company in Vadodara knows how to use intelligent truss lighting and ambient warm lights to make even simple decor look premium.
4. Booking Vendors Too Late
Vadodara has a limited pool of premium makeup artists and photographers.
The Mistake: Waiting until 2 months before the wedding to book the "Big Three" (Venue, MUA, Photo/Video).
The Fix: In Gujarat, prime dates get booked 8-12 months in advance. Lock your core vendors as soon as the engagement is announced.
5. Ignoring the "Flow" of the Event
The Mistake: Long gaps between the Baraat arrival and the dinner, leaving guests hungry and bored.
The Fix: Structured planning. You need a "Minute-to-Minute" (M2M) timeline to ensure the Sangeet performances start on time and the food counters open exactly when the guests are ready.
