Cons: Decor & overall setup is usually boring since almost every wedding looks similar. Therefore very limited options for wedding photography. Parking might be an issue since space is an challenge inside Bangalore city.


B. Resorts that give out for weddings

Pros: You can do outdoor, as well as indoor setups. Usually have lots of rooms, hence suitable for destination weddings.


Cons: usually need to go with in-house vendors, and food is mostly not good. Privacy issues, due to Other guests & events in the venue. All resorts might not be suitable for weddings. Also resorts are usually outside the city and best suited if all your guests are staying at the resort. Difficult to convince the parents, especially for South Indian weddings.


C. Wedding venues

Pros: exclusivity since other guests & events will not be there. It’s like doing in your own place. facilities are custom-made for weddings, multiple & personalisable decor & food options to give unique experience to guests. beautiful candid as well as traditional photographs.


Cons: unlike a typical resort, wedding venues might not have leisure facilities like in-house restaurants, games, children play area, swimming pool, etc and they will have limited accommodation unlike a lodging hotel.
