Tips on Booking a Marriage Hall in India

Most of the American residents having their home country in India arrange marriages of their children in India only as their close relatives are mostly staying there. The marriage arrangements in India can be made very easily once you have been able to get the suitable marriage hall booked for your occasion. As I have resided most of the time in the city of Vadodara in the State of Gujarat, my tips on how to book the marriage hall would be more pertinent for the Gujarat State in India. First of all, you need to book the hall well in advance in India. Sometimes this period can be as long as one year. It is always better to arrange marriage in the closed hall, rather than the open plot in India as the decoration of the open plot can be very expensive and also, weather can change suddenly bringing rains.

The most important factor in locating a suitable marriage hall is to initially compile the detailed list of all such halls of that city or area. Such list can be available from the yellow telephone book of a particular city or through the feedback from all your friends and relatives. The marriage halls operated by the government bodies like Municipal Corporation, State government etc would be quiet cheaper as compared with the privately managed halls. The rent for the government halls would be in the range of around Rs.2500 ($60) for 24 hours. However, the rent of privately managed halls would be in the range of around Rs.6000 ($150) to Rs.40000 ($1000) for 24 hours. This rent generally includes the water supply, large cooking utensils, around four large gas stoves, 500 plastic chairs, standard wedding chori without any decoration, the floor carpet in selected areas, and the two large sofa chairs for the wedding couple.
