That’s why we’ve put together this list of the top 10 wedding venues for large Indian weddings in Florida. Whether you’re planning a traditional Indian, Muslim Pakistani wedding or a fusion ceremony, these venues are sure to impress your guests.
Before we get into the top 10 wedding venues, it’s important to understand the criteria that we used to select them. We know that Indian weddings are complex and multi-day affairs, and so we looked for venues that could accommodate large guest lists and offer a variety of amenities to make the entire wedding experience seamless. Some of the key factors we considered include the followings: capacity: we looked for venues that could comfortably accommodate a large number of guests, both for the ceremony and reception. Location: We chose venues that are located in popular destinations in Florida, making it easy for guests to travel to and from and enjoy their time in the area. Amenities: We selected venues that offer a variety of amenities, such as on-site catering, audio/visual equipment, and event planning services. Cultural sensitivity: We made sure that the venues on our list are experienced with Indian weddings and can provide the necessary accommodations for cultural traditions, such as mandaps and catering. Wedding photography and videography: we discuss the opportunities for scenery.
1. The Breakers Hotel in Palm Beach is ideal for large Indian and Pakistani Muslim weddings. This Palm Beach based luxury hotel has a stunning beachfront resort and many indoor event spaces that can hold 1000 guests. If any of your guests like playing golf, the hotel also have a golf course. Miami and Fort Lauderdale airports are very close. Regarding wedding photography, I want to be honest, the spaces are very limited. The best area to take photos is the hotel front. You may be able to take some photos inside and on the side of the hotel building but the areas and opportunities are very few. The indoor ballrooms are spacious and if your wedding is during the winter months, I highly recommend the outdoor event spaces, as well. In summer, it is just too hot and humid outside in Florda.
2. The Ritz-Carlton Orlando, Grande Lakes, is a luxurious hotel that offers a beautiful setting for a destination wedding. The hotel has a variety of event spaces, including ballrooms, gardens, and terraces, that can accommodate up to 1,000 guests.

4. Hilton Orlando is a more modern hotel that offers a variety of indoor and outdoor event spaces that can accommodate up to 2,000 guests. This hotel is not as great for Indian wedding photography to be honest. It lacks some of the beautiful scenes the hotels above offer. If you are fine with that this hotel is great for South East Asian weddings.

7. The Diplomat Beach Resort Hollywood, by Hilton is a beautiful wedding venue located in Hollywood, Florida. This is one of my favorites and I shoot large Indian and Pakistani wedding there quiet often. The property features over 200,000 square feet of event space, including indoor and outdoor venues that can accommodate up to 2,000 guests. There is a large parking area around the hotel. The beach is right in front of you and you have Miami and Fort Lauderdale airport right next to you. Outside photo opportunities are limited especially during the main tourist season. It is jusr really hard to find an private area where Indian wedding videographers can shoot without anybody walking into the background.
