I met someone in South Goa who arranges bespoke beach weddings; just after Christmas she had arranged a wedding at Kola Beach. The wedding party was staying in various beach huts at Patnem and at the Intercontinental - they were all at the beach shack most days in the lead up to wedding and it all sounded very relaxed and organised as the bride was deciding the menu, finalising the champagne reception and the cocktails, arranging spa treatments for herself and other guests. It was by all accounts a fine wedding, not legally valid in the UK though! I think they had nipped off the register office before they had left these shores.

It was arranged by KokoIndia , a local business run by a European woman who is also a travel writer.

By the way, I thought it was quite telling that most of those staying at the Lalit the Initercontinental got a tuk tuk each morning to Patnem Beach rather than loll around their expensive luxury pool!

We watched a lovely wedding at Leela in the south ....elephant and every thing.

Lester Melo organised my wedding and it was brilliant, you can spend as little or as much as you like. I got married at the Taj (fort aguada)

Thank you everyone for the replies - I've had a look at the links which have then directed me to other relevant areas! :)

adam-silver : When you got married at the Taj, what was it like? I've read a few reviews that like it, but some say that the place is very dated? Not sure which ones are true and which ones are critical?
