Introduction
Beach weddings in Goa often present hidden costs beyond décor and venue rentals. Proper budgeting demands awareness of these additional fees.
Permit & Regulatory Charges
- Goa’s Coastal Zone Management Authority has increased beach wedding permit fees to ₹1,00,000 per day, replacing the earlier 5-day flat permit.
- Any additional day attracts ₹10,000 per extra day on top of the daily permit.
- A proposed model allows event planners to pay a one-time ₹7,00,000 for 40 beach weddings over 3 years.
Miscellaneous Add-Ons
- Permit for hoardings, temporary structures, and site utilities can drive up costs.
- Local taxes, sound NOCs, police NOCs, and licensing charges may add ₹1–1.5 lakh or more depending on scale.
- Premium properties may separate venue hire from accommodation and meal packages, creating layered cost structures.
