Vietnam wedding packages for Indian couples typically start from USD 8,000 for an intimate ceremony and range up to USD 100,000 or more for a full multi-day celebration with 100+ guests. The final number depends heavily on destination, guest count, and how much Indian-specific catering and décor the couple wants.
In this guide, Viet Dan Travel breaks down exactly where that money goes, so couples and their wedding planners can budget with confidence rather than guesswork.
1. How much do Vietnam wedding packages cost
Pricing for a Vietnam destination wedding falls into three broad tiers, based on guest count and venue category. These figures are reference estimates only; actual quotes depend on the resort, season, and specific service inclusions and should be confirmed against real package pricing from the venue or ground operator.
| Wedding Size | Guest Count | Estimated Total Cost (USD) |
| Intimate | 20 to 40 guests | Starting from USD 8,000 to 20,000 |
| Mid-size | 50 to 80 guests | Starting from USD 25,000 to 50,000 |
| Grand, multi-day | 100+ guests | Starting from USD 60,000 to 100,000+ |
For context, Vietnam is generally positioned 30 to 50 percent below comparable beach-resort weddings in parts of Europe, and remains competitive against Thailand and Bali for equivalent venue quality and guest experience.
Cost Breakdown by Category
A useful way to plan a budget is to separate the wedding into its component costs rather than looking at one lump sum. This also makes it easier to compare quotes from different venues or planners, since packages are rarely structured identically.
| Category | Typical Starting Cost (USD) | Notes |
| Venue rental | 1,500 to 15,000 per event day | Beachfront resorts in Phu Quoc and Da Nang sit at the higher end |
| Catering | 30 to 80 per guest | Higher for imported Indian chefs or specialty vegetarian menus |
| Decor and mandap setup | 2,000 to 10,000 | Scales with floral imports and structural build |
| Entertainment (DJ, sound, lighting) | 500 to 1,500 per day | Local bands or dance troupes charged separately |
| Photography and videography | 1,000 to 1,200 for 8 to 12 hours | Higher if flying in a photographer from India |
| Bridal makeup and hair | 200 to 500 per session | Local artist rate; higher if flying in a personal stylist |
| Wedding planner or coordinator fee | Varies | Often bundled into the package by a local DMC |
Vietnam Wedding Packages by Destination
Where the wedding happens changes the price structure more than any other single factor. Here is how the four most common destinations for Indian weddings compare.
| Destination | Best For | Price Positioning | Notable Consideration |
| Da Nang | Beach weddings, large groups | Mid to high | Strong flight connectivity, wide resort choice |
| Phu Quoc | Grand multi-day celebrations, mandap and baraat setups | Mid to high | Visa-free entry for direct arrivals from outside Vietnam for up to 30 days |
| Hoi An | Intimate, cultural, lantern-lit ceremonies | Lower to mid | Best for couples prioritizing atmosphere over scale |
| Nha Trang / Cam Ranh | Value beach resorts | Lower to mid | Good balance of cost and beachfront quality |

2. What’s Usually Included in a Vietnam Wedding Package
Package inclusions vary by resort, so it is worth confirming the exact scope before signing. A typical all-inclusive Vietnam wedding package covers:
- Venue rental for the ceremony and reception
- Basic decor (mandap or altar structure, table settings, lighting)
- Standard catering menu for the agreed guest count
- Coordination staff on the wedding day
- Sound system for the ceremony
Items usually charged as add-ons rather than included by default:
- Indian or specialty vegetarian catering upgrades
- Imported flowers or elaborate floral installations
- Fireworks, drone shows, or live bands
- Guest transportation and multi-day itinerary add-ons
- Photography and videography beyond the base package
3. Indian-Specific Considerations
Indian weddings carry specific requirements that generic Vietnam wedding packages do not always account for, and pricing shifts accordingly.
- Vegetarian and Indian catering. Many resorts do not have an in-house Indian kitchen. Confirm whether the venue allows an outside Indian caterer or has a dedicated vegetarian menu, since bringing in specialist caterers or chefs adds to the total cost.
- Mandap, baraat, and multi-day rituals. Phu Quoc and Da Nang resorts are generally better equipped for large mandap structures and baraat processions than smaller boutique properties in Hoi An.
- Visa for Indian guests. As of 2026, Indian passport holders require a visa for all of mainland Vietnam. The standard route is the e-visa, valid for up to 90 days, costing USD 25 for single entry or USD 50 for multiple entry, with processing typically taking 3 to 7 working days. The one exception is Phu Quoc Island, where Indian citizens can enter visa-free for up to 30 days if arriving directly at Phu Quoc International Airport or Phu Quoc Seaport from outside Vietnam, without transiting through another Vietnamese port of entry. For weddings with a large Indian guest list, this exception can meaningfully simplify logistics if Phu Quoc is chosen as the venue.
- Legal versus symbolic ceremony. Registering a legally binding marriage in Vietnam as a foreigner involves notarized affidavits of single status and a Vietnamese hospital health certificate, with processing that can take 15 to 30 days. For this reason, most Indian couples complete legal registration in India beforehand and hold a symbolic or religious ceremony in Vietnam.
4. How to Get the Best Value on a Vietnam Wedding
Vietnam wedding packages are rarely fixed-price. Resorts adjust rates based on season, guest count, and how the package is booked, which means two couples hosting an almost identical wedding can end up with noticeably different final bills. Understanding where that flexibility exists makes it possible to negotiate confidently rather than simply accepting the first quote.
- Choose the off-peak window, from April to August. Peak season (September to March) coincides with cooler weather and the Lunar New Year period, so resorts have little incentive to discount. Booking in the off-peak months typically unlocks lower venue rates and more flexibility on photography and decor add-ons, since vendors have more open dates to fill.
- Book an all-inclusive package rather than sourcing vendors individually. Assembling venue, catering, decor, and entertainment separately usually costs more than a bundled package, because each vendor prices in their own margin. A resort or DMC-negotiated package spreads that margin across the whole event instead of stacking it per vendor.
- Hire local vendors instead of flying in a full team from India. Flying in a photographer, makeup artist, or decor team from India adds airfare, accommodation, and per-diem costs on top of their service fee. Local Vietnamese vendors familiar with Indian weddings, such as those experienced in mandap setups or Indian catering, deliver comparable quality at a fraction of the cost.
- Confirm the guest count early. Catering in Vietnam is priced per table, usually seating 10 guests, so even a modest change in headcount shifts the total meaningfully. Locking the guest list before finalizing the package avoids costly late revisions.
- Work through a local ground operator who already holds negotiated resort rates. Wedding planners based in India typically quote retail pricing plus their own margin on top of what the venue charges. A Vietnam-based DMC with existing resort relationships can access the same venues at negotiated rates, passing part of that saving through to the couple or the booking agent.
Most of the pricing information available to Indian couples comes from wedding planners based in India who subcontract the on-ground execution in Vietnam. For travel agents and wedding planners structuring these packages, working directly with a Vietnam DMC changes the economics: it removes a layer of markup, gives direct access to negotiated resort rates, and puts a local team on the ground for vendor coordination, permits, and day-of logistics across Da Nang, Phu Quoc, Hoi An, and Nha Trang. Viet Dan Travel DMC, based in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City with a representative office in Mysore, India, supports international travel agencies and wedding planners with tailored MICE and celebration logistics across Vietnam, including venue sourcing and vendor coordination for destination weddings.
5. FAQ
How much does a Vietnam wedding package cost for 100 guests?
A wedding package for around 100 guests typically starts from USD 60,000, depending on venue category, catering choices, and whether Indian-specific services are added.
Do Indian wedding guests need a visa for Vietnam?
Yes, for all mainland destinations. The e-visa costs USD 25 to 50 and takes 3 to 7 working days to process. Guests flying directly into Phu Quoc from outside Vietnam and staying under 30 days are the one exception.
Can couples get legally married in Vietnam?
It is possible but involves a lengthy notarization process. Most Indian couples instead register the marriage legally in India and hold a symbolic ceremony in Vietnam.
Which is cheaper for an Indian wedding, Vietnam or Thailand?
Vietnam is generally priced competitively against Thailand for similar venue quality, and often comes in lower for comparable beach-resort packages, though exact savings depend on the specific properties compared.
Which Vietnam destination is best for a large Indian wedding?
Phu Quoc and Da Nang are best suited for large groups and multi-day events, since they have more resorts equipped for mandap setups, baraat processions, and large-scale catering.
