The best timeframe is between October to May, as you'll have sunshine, calm seas, and generally great weather for outdoor events. During monsoon season (June to September), transportation by ferry is affected, which can disrupt event setup at venues. 

If you're planning a larger wedding, Havelock Island Beach Resort has many rooms and accommodations to hold a large wedding on-site. Nemo Private Beach is the best there is for privacy when holding a wedding on the beach. 

Identify resort blocks or villa rentals at least months in advance, especially during peak travel season. Arrange transfers from the airport, ferry terminal, and ceremony/venue space, and provide guests with digital itineraries. Having a travel coordinator assign taxis, transfers, and other transportation, guests will be arriving excited and relaxed, vs stressed from travel.

Permissions for the beach must be secured through local authorities. The legal marriage registration process aligns with Indian law. Using licensed vendors gives access to quality services, and also provides access to other useful aspects of being eco-conscious when thinking of décor and setups. Always keep a covered or indoor option ready in case the weather shifts.

Create experiences for your guests, like snorkelling, a craft workshop, or a sunset cruise, to help immerse them in the local culture and scenery of this destination. These events provide a precursor or natural photo opportunity, create bonds between guests, and enhance their time together. 

Hiring professionals who are familiar with tropical weddings will ensure a seamless and stunning result! If you add a golden hour session, drone creative shots, and candid moments to the mix, your wedding album will truly be cinematic! Planning all the shots that day will create a smooth flow in the day with minimal interruptions. 

The wedding is really just the start of a mini-vacation with guests! Once you’re married, guests can engage in tour activities such as scuba diving, island hopping, and beach picnics. Two events, such as guided reef tours, a day at the spa, or a sunset cruise, will contribute to the fun of the wedding weekend, whilst adding anticipation and relaxation for guests to look forward to. 

Private beaches, yachts or beachfront terrace, are all great backdrops to create those intimate moments. Curated décor and ambient lighting, especially candles, and music preferably acoustic, is enough to create romantic vibes for couples without overwhelming their guests. Couples should work closely with planners to ensure the quality expectations level is achieved.

Plan shaded seating, hydration stations, and clear resting areas for still and fluid events at any location. Kids enjoying themselves with planned activities allows parents to have fun separating parents and kids stress free, all while having a first aid kit nearby. Clear timeline events with scheduled transport provided makes guests calm and happy!

Definitely, plan as far in advance as possible, work with local planners, and book ferry schedules in advance. Pre-planning is key to ensuring there are no headaches. It is also a good idea to discuss accommodation options with guests for all price ranges and provide a day-by-day schedule of events for their reference.
