When is the best time of year to get married?
In India:
April to Sept can be hot in Rajasthan (temperature can vary from 35 to 45 degrees) and in Goa its active monsoon. But risk of bad weather at any time of the year can’t be predicted.
October to March– is the best time to get married in India because of good weather.

In Bali:
Generally the best time for a wedding in Bali is between April and October. During that period the weather is better than during the monsoon season. During June to August prices for hotels, wedding venues, air-tickets are usually higher. It may also be more difficult to find hotels.

In Dubai:
October through till April is the high season for weddings. The summer can be very hot and reach temperatures of 50 degrees so best to avoid the months of June – September. You may experience sandstorms in January and February and rain can sometimes be forecast from December mind you this is a rare occasion and getting married in Dubai is likely to be a warm affair!
