Do you have a wedding registry?

Question

Where should I stay in Kolkata?

Answer

We recommend booking a hotel or AirBnB near to venues of either the wedding or reception. We have suggested some hotels in the "Getting there" tab. Feel free to discuss with us regarding the hotel or AirBnB booking.

Question

How do I get around in Kolkata?

Answer

We recommend using the Uber app to get around Kolkata. If you use Uber in your home country, it should work just fine in India, as long as you have a data connection. For more on that, please see the FAQ on cell phones.

Question

Will my phone work in Kolkata?

Answer

It depends on your cell phone carrier. Some carriers provide free international roaming. Others may require you to purchase an international plan. Getting a local sim card in India (with a data plan) is another option. You might be able to get one at the airport when you land, else visit a Airtel or Vodafone store near your hotel and ask for a prepaid sim card with a data plan. You will need a couple of copies of your passport and a couple of passport sized photographs.

Question

How should I pay for stuff in Kolkata?

Answer

We recommend withdrawing local cash (Indian rupees) from a bank ATM using your bank's debit card. Credit cards are great when they work, but we've had issues with them in the past, so having a cash alternative is important.
