Wedding planning in Kochi, Kerala
Wedding planners in Kochi for every Kerala tradition
A Kerala wedding is rarely one event. It is a betrothal, a Haldi or Mehndi night, the ceremony and a reception, often across several days and venues. Marko Events plans all of it as one programme from our studio in Kalamassery, so you can be a guest at your own wedding.

- A named planner from first call to send off
- Every function
- A written, minute by minute run sheet

How we can help
Full planning, partial planning or just the day
Hire us for the whole wedding or for the part you need. The planner, the run sheet and the on site team come with every option.
Partial planning
You have the venue and a few vendors. We fill the gaps, design the décor and take over coordination for the final weeks.
Day of coordination
You planned it yourselves. We step in about four weeks out, build the run sheet, brief your vendors and run the day.
Traditions
Planned around your customs, not a template
Every tradition has its own order of events, its own timings and its own non negotiables. We plan to them.
Manasammatham to reception
Christian weddings
From betrothal to the wedding Mass
We coordinate with the parish on timings, décor limits and photography rules inside the church, then run the reception programme: cake ceremony, toasts, first dance and send off.
Muhurtham, kept on time
Hindu weddings
Scheduled backwards from the muhurtham
Mandap design with nilavilakku and flowers, Sadya catering, and nadaswaram and chenda melam booked so the procession and ceremony land on time.
Nikah, Mehndi and Walima
Muslim weddings
Nikah, Mehndi and Walima
Mehndi nights with music and décor, Nikah arrangements, separate seating where required, and Walima receptions catered to the family’s preferences.

Questions
Wedding planning FAQ
How early should we book a wedding planner in Kochi?
Six to twelve months ahead is ideal. Popular venues and parish dates between November and February fill early. For a closer date, call us and we will tell you honestly what is achievable.
How much does a wedding planner cost in Kochi?
It depends on guest count, the number of functions, the venue and décor scope, and whether you want full planning or day of coordination. After a short brief we send an itemised proposal so you can see where every rupee goes and adjust any line before committing.
Can you work with vendors we have already booked?
Yes. We bring your vendors into the run sheet alongside ours, so everyone works to the same timings on the day.
Do you plan weddings outside Kochi?
Yes. We plan weddings across Kerala, including Thrissur and Kottayam, and destination weddings in Kumarakom, Alappuzha, Munnar, Varkala and Fort Kochi.
Do you arrange Sadya and other traditional catering?
Yes. We source and coordinate caterers for Sadya and other menus, matched to the ceremony and the family's preferences.
