Hyderabad: The 4th South India Wedding Planners Congress was successfully held on Sunday at Akshaya Convention, Hyderabad Financial District, organized by the Telangana Chamber of Events Industry (TCEI) with the support of the Tourism Department, Telangana. The event highlighted Telangana’s growing ambitions to establish itself as a global wedding and events hub, attracting both domestic and international clients.
The Indian wedding industry is expanding rapidly, and Telangana is strategically positioning itself to play a key role in this burgeoning sector. With India being increasingly recognized as a premium wedding destination worldwide, the state aims to showcase its unique cultural, historical, and natural assets to the global market.
Speaking at the event, officials emphasized that Telangana offers an exceptional variety of venues suitable for different themes and budgets. From ancient forts, grand palaces, and dense forests to serene rivers, lakes, hills, and modern luxury hotels, the state boasts an extensive portfolio of wedding destinations that can cater to both traditional and contemporary tastes.
“Telangana should not only be seen as a state but as a living cultural experience,” said the organizers. They stressed the importance of wedding planners understanding and promoting Telangana’s heritage and scenic beauty, ensuring it is showcased both nationally and internationally. Weddings are more than the union of two individuals—they symbolize the coming together of two families and two cultures. Conducting these celebrations in Telangana allows couples and families to create memorable experiences against the backdrop of the state’s unique destinations.

To encourage greater investment and activity in the wedding sector, the state has unveiled a series of strategic initiatives:
- FAM (Familiarization) Tours: Special guided tours for wedding planners and event organizers to experience Telangana’s premium wedding venues firsthand.
- Streamlined Approvals: Expedited issuance of licenses, permits, and permissions required for organizing weddings, including logistics and event management clearances.
- Public-Private Partnerships (PPP): New policies to encourage private investment in the wedding and events sector, fostering collaboration between the government and businesses.
- Promotion Campaigns: Highlighting Telangana’s diverse wedding destinations across digital platforms, social media, and international wedding fairs.
Officials emphasized that such initiatives will simplify the planning process, attract high-value events, and position Telangana as a top wedding destination in India and abroad.
The Congress also featured sessions with industry leaders discussing trends in wedding planning, destination management, luxury event coordination, and innovative experiences for couples and families. The event provided an interactive platform for networking, collaboration, and knowledge exchange, bringing together event organizers, wedding planners, and tourism stakeholders.
