Delhi is where North Indian wedding tradition is executed at its largest scale — genuine multi-day celebrations with guest counts most other cities don't need to plan for.
Quick answer: Delhi North Indian weddings typically need to plan for 300-800+ guests across multiple functions — Sangeet, Mehndi, Haldi, the Baraat and main ceremony, and Vidaai — with genuine farmhouse-scale venue logistics for the Baraat procession specifically.

Frequently Asked Questions
How large do Delhi North Indian weddings typically run?
Significantly larger than many other Indian cities — 300 to 800+ guests is common, with some farmhouse weddings running even bigger.
Why does the Baraat need special venue planning in Delhi?
The Baraat procession needs genuine space and a realistic time buffer — these routinely run 30-60 minutes longer than scheduled, and the venue needs to accommodate that without disrupting the Milni greeting that follows.
