How to Plan a Riverside Wedding Under 10 Lakhs
Many couples believe that hosting a destination wedding is a luxury that requires a budget of ₹20 to ₹30 Lakhs. While that is true for major five-star hotels in tourist centers, planning a spectacular, premium wedding in Rishikesh is highly achievable for less than 10 Lakhs. The secret lies in selecting a boutique, self-contained riverside venue and managing your guest list efficiently.
At Hideaway Camp & Resort in Mohanchatti, we specialize in helping couples execute beautiful, intimate weddings with 80 to 100 guests. By bringing accommodation, catering, decor, and multiple venues into a single unified plan, we keep costs low and eliminate expensive travel and venue fees.

Top Budget Saving Tips for Couples
To ensure your total wedding expenditure remains strictly under the 10 Lakh limit:
- Consolidate Events: Plan a compact 2-Day/1-Night itinerary. This keeps food and accommodation charges highly optimized.
- Opt for Local Decor Accents: Utilize local marigolds, fairy lights, and drapes instead of importing expensive out-of-season flowers. The natural greenery of Mohanchatti valley already does most of the visual work!
- Plan Group Travel: Book a traveler bus to bring all guests down together from Delhi NCR or Rishikesh Station, saving individual cab charges.
