Read the guideIn short
November opens Lahore's main wedding season, and this year it is short: Ramadan is expected to begin around the second week of February 2027, so families are packing Mehndi, Baraat and Walima into November to early February. Book halls and marquees for December and January Saturdays now, plan an indoor fallback for smoggy evenings, and expect live food counters, fresh-flower stages and smaller daytime Nikkahs to keep showing up. Live prices from Bandobast are at the end of this post.
