Homestays & Guesthouses
The homestays and family guesthouses are typical in the Kumaon and Garhwal regions. The spaces can easily be used as a ceremony hall or dinner lawn, with guest rooms usually available in these places.
Homestay is more personal and local and tends to be less expensive than a hotel. Ensure that they are registered appropriately and can deliver food and simple event services. Recent changes to the policy have seen that some homestays need to comply with state regulations, and therefore registration and checks must be made before booking.
Dak Bungalows & Heritage Rest Houses
Dak bungalows consist of old British rest houses, which are located throughout the hills. Several of them are small, concrete structures with simple facilities and beautiful scenery. They are cheap and may be used on small weddings or the small family section of a large wedding.
Another inexpensive, beautiful choice is a dak bungalow or a renovated government rest house, provided that you are comfortable with bare-bones facilities and hire local suppliers to provide catering and decor.
Budget Hotels & Small Resorts
Not all the hotels are costly. There are several small hotels and mid-range resorts around Corbett, Haridwar, Dehradun, Mussoorie and Nainital which have wedding packages at a low cost. These packages can comprise rooms, a banquet or lawn and catering at a reduced per-plate price than city luxury hotels.
Community Halls, Club Grounds & Temple Lawns
Community centres, community halls and the lawns of the temples can prove to be a cost-effective option. This is effective when you have a bigger guest list, and you would not want any surprises when it comes to expenses.
If you prefer to take the most cost-effective path, then consider using homestays, dak bungalows, or local community halls and employing local caterers. These options reduced the cost of venues and logistics significantly. Off-season bookings or negotiations on weekdays can also be used to cut the rates of plates and rooms.

Micro and intimate weddings: Smaller guest lists are a current trend with a lot of couples. Smaller weddings save more on the per-plate prices and also allow you to select better food and decor using the same budget. This trend assists in producing a memorable event without an additional expenditure.
Local sourcing and DIY decor: Brides and planners are more and more inclined to source flowers, fabrics, and crafts locally to make the decor. This reduces transportation and hiring prices and helps foster localbusinesses. Uncomplicated, locally constructed decor can appear fashionable and be much cheaper than imported ones.
Plan during off-season or weekdays: Hotels and resorts are the ones to reduce their packages during the off-season. You can have nice discounts on event fees and rooms when you are not that strict with dates. Early booking also leaves room for negotiation.
Quality control and regulation of homestays: The government is intensifying homestay regulations. This will probably improve the quality and safety standards with the course of time, and some homestays will be more appropriate as far as small weddings are concerned; however, always make sure to check registration and services before making a decision.
