Most Andaman weddings are intimate, with 50-100 guests, due to logistical and accommodation constraints.
The Andaman & Nicobar Islands are a favorite among couples seeking a tranquil, picturesque destination wedding. With unspoiled beaches and turquoise waters, they offer the kind of privacy and exclusivity that is hard to match. These islands are especially popular with couples who want their wedding to feel like a mini-vacation for their guests.
Here are the top 5 reasons why Andaman & Nicobar is the perfect choice for beach destination weddings in India:
- Andaman’s beaches on Havelock Island, are consistently ranked among the best in Asia. Couples often opt for outdoor ceremonies right on the sand. Many luxury resorts are there that offer packages too – that include beach ceremonies, poolside cocktail parties, and even spa services.
- A growing trend among couples is to arrange pre-wedding brunches and yoga sessions for guests on the beachfront spaces. Resorts also offer private beach setups for intimate moments like these or a sunset toast.
- Couples often choose Andaman for its exclusivity. Many prefer hosting smaller weddings with a select group of family and friends, which fits well with the island’s remote and peaceful environment.
- Newlyweds often extend their stay for a romantic honeymoon on nearby islands, combining everything in one destination.
- Professional photographers love Andaman’s backdrop. The azure waters, coral reefs, and lush mangroves provide endless possibilities. Many couples incorporate pre-wedding shoots on secluded beaches like Elephant Beach or at iconic landmarks such as the Cellular Jail and the natural limestone caves on Baratang Island.
