Destination Wedding Advisory
For families planning a wedding in Uttarakhand. We are not wedding planners. We do not book venues, hire vendors, or run the day. We check the plan you already have, or the one a planner has given you, against what is true on the ground. What the venue really holds. How long the journey really takes. What the weather really does on your dates.
₹4,999 + GST
Starts with a free 15-minute call and a written Discovery Note. What that covers →
Most cases finish in one to three weeks. It depends on how many venues we assess.
Who this is for
- Choosing between shortlisted venues
- Checking a venue before you pay the deposit
- Reading a quote or plan a wedding planner has given you
- Working out whether your dates suit the season
- Planning for guests travelling from other cities or from abroad
- Getting a second opinion before you commit the budget
Fiction, and what we found
Three things we have actually been told, and what turned out to be true. Details are changed; the pattern is not.
“The lawn comfortably holds four hundred.”
Four hundred standing, on empty grass. Put in round tables, a stage and a buffet line and it seats two hundred and ten.
“It is two hours from the airport.”
Two hours in a car. Coaches are sent the longer way round, so your guests should be given three and a half.
“December here is clear and dry.”
Usually. It is also four degrees after sunset at that height, and the indoor room they would move you to seats ninety.

Questions about this service
Do you plan the wedding?
No. We are not planners and we book nothing. We check whether the plan works and hand you the questions to ask. The planning stays with you or your planner.
Can you read a quote we have already been given?
Yes. That is one of the most common requests. We read it against local prices, the season, and what the venue can actually deliver on the day.
Do venues pay you?
No venue, hotel, planner or vendor can pay Local Link In. That is what makes the answer worth having.
