As a bride planning a wedding in a Delhi five-star, I must say the hidden costs are not so hidden if you have a proper wedding planner; they itemise everything from guest shuttle services to staff "appreciation" in the contract itself. The real shock for us was the "overtime" charges for the venue—the decor team and caterers billed lakhs extra because the party went two hours beyond the scheduled time. My father's advice from our Kanpur business—to always tip the head waiter in cash—was charming, but here, the banquet manager's "tip" was a pre-agreed percentage added to the final bill. It feels less like tradition and more like a corporate surcharge.
