Frequently Asked Questions

A wedding planner is truly your best friend when planning your wedding. A planner will hear you out, share unique ideas that support your dream wedding, and finally take charge of it end-to-end so that you don’t need to worry about the small or even big details. Imagine saving your time going back and forth with the wedding card printers, or convincing your new family members about colors, location venue, cake design, flower arrangements… and the list can go on. It can be quite exhausting, time consuming, and causes unnecessary tension and stress. Not only your time but what about saving a ton of money in the bank? A wedding planner knows how to get the best deals, negotiate a good price, and is your cost monitor to make sure that you stick to your budget and not go overboard.

The best decision a newly engaged couple could make is to consult with a professional wedding planning service as soon after the engagement as possible. Not to toot our own horn, but we tend to get booked pretty quick, and we highly recommend putting your wedding date in our diary as early as possible. An increasing number of couples are recently considering destination weddings in Goa, and we want to make sure we have the best locations booked for your wedding dates.

Based on your needs, you should identify a wedding planner who can offer you a wide range of services and is flexible to handle as much or as little as you wish them to. We suggest keeping a 6-point checklist in mind before making a choice

#1 A wedding planner should be able to state instances when they had to attend to unplanned situations, and how they turned them around. You want a planner who can think on their feet and can be resourceful in the nick of time.

#2 Do a little research about wedding planners online. However, this may be a done thing, make sure that they are trustworthy and have good reviews from working with other couples. It’s best to look for someone else if your shortlisted wedding planner barely has any online presence.

#3 Meet up with your wedding planner in person, if possible. That’s because you want to to make sure you are working with someone who believes in your vision and can bring it to reality.

#4 Ask great questions. Make sure you don’t ask hypothetical questions, but more in line with actual experiences so that they can relate to a situation that has already taken place.

#5 Read the small print of the contract. Make sure you understand the do’s and dont’s of the wedding planner, and what exactly you are paying for. Every additional service you ask for over and above the contract, is chargeable.

#6 Ensure that your personalities mesh. You need someone you are comfortable with to discuss intimate details of your relationship or just someone you can freely approach when you need a friend to talk to. You can find a friend and a true professional with Crafting Memories’ team.

Planning a wedding can be stressful, especially
when the people doing it are involved emotionally. Family and friends want everything to be perfect for you, or what they think is perfect for you, this could lead to potential conflicts and hurt feelings.

Even though friends and family members have the best intentions in mind, they deserve to be part of your wedding day celebration and not work on the day.

Crafting Memories offers to work for you behind the scenes, and allows everyone you dearly love to be part of your special wedding day.

A venue coordinator works for the venue, and they will only be helpful with any concerns relating to the venue. Their job does not include all the other details that go into planning your wedding.

On the other hand, a wedding planner is involved from the very beginning of the planning process. Your wedding planner will handle each detail of your wedding from start to finish – everything from finding a venue and the external vendors to actually being there on your wedding day to make sure everything runs smoothly and on schedule.

Having a wedding planner reduces the inherent stress of planning a wedding, and we at Crafting Memories make it our endevour to create a joyous, stress-free wedding experience.

Not a problem at all! Many of our clients are based out of Goa. They are either located in other parts of India or overseas, and meeting often may not be an option.

Therfore, we make the best use of popular technologies like Whatsapp for voice/text/video communication which is the quickest way to get messages across. We are constantly checking our mobiles (like everyone else!) and will respond ASAP if we have an immediate answer. However, if we need to do some research, allow us a time frame of 24 to 48 hours to come back to you

In Goa, the law of marriage is considered as a Civil Contract, solemnized between two persons or different sex, with the purpose of legitimately constituting a family. A person who has previously married and the marriage is not dissolved, cannot marry again. In Goa, marriage is compulsorily registerable. A Civil registration of marriages is accepted as
evidence of the marriage in Goa. 

The  following documents are required at the time of Civil registration in Goa.

In every taluka, there are offices of the Civil Registrar, where the marriages are to be registered. Those who desire to marry have to declare their desire before the Officer of the Taluka chosen, along with:

1) A certificate of domicile of residence

2) The certificates of birth.

Registered of Marriage: Since, without registration, a marriage is not legally recognized in Goa. (Exception: a Roman Catholic marriage with prior clearance by the
Civil Registrar.

Normal Procedure For Registration Of A Marriage:

PHASE I :

Filing the declaration of Marriage in the Office 

(a) Presence of the Bridegroom and the bride including parents if Bride below 21 years.

(b) Birth Certificate of Bride groom

(c) Birth Certificate of Bride

(CAUTION:- Waiver of the waiting period could be obtained in deserving cases from the Delegado (A.P.P). This may be resorted to only in unavoidable circumstances since the parties stand to lose the easy option of desisting from proceeding with the registration in case bad antecedents of the groom/bride come to notice after the marriage registration).

Actual Registration of a Marriage Necessary:-
Only the presence of the Bride-groom, Bride and 2 witnesses. (PLUS Parents, additional witnesses or Interpreter, etc., if advised at the Declaration Stage).

PS: (Roman Catholics opting for Canonical Marriage in the church need to come only once. It would be in their interest to verify personally that their marriage papers actually reached the Civil Registration Office after their religious marriage).

Absolutely! Based on your religious faith, we can schedule to have a pandit or priest be present to conduct a specific religious ceremony or perform a special ritual.

Once you are ready to book our services, we accept full payment either through cash or direct bank transfer.

Reviews from a Happy Bride

Mark’s the man! He and his team are frickin unbelievably good and such amazing people!

It was so much fun just planning the wedding because Mark clearly loves what he does and he’s brilliant at it.

I’m sure there are others who do gorgeous decor but I don’t think there are many
others who will go out of their way to make it so special. Like I was giving changes on the creatives till the last minute and he still got them done. It RAINED unexpectedly on both days and they still managed to get everything sorted within an hour incl getting replacement LED lights from another venue.

They managed to salvage the mandap and ensured we had the prettiest looking venue.

He surprised us with stuff that he thought we would enjoy like a beer pong table and it was such a huge hit. He seamlessly coordinated with the pandit for fireworks, the band, mehendi artists, DJ etc. all we had to do was try to look as Good as our venue lol.

It’s been a month now and believe it or not the guests are still talking about the fab decor!
