They say marriages are made in heaven. We have little knowledge regarding that but we know that weddings are nowadays celebrated in style, in high-end hospitality properties in India.

Organising a wedding banquet within a specified budget, not only meeting but also surpassing guest expectations, offering innovative ideas, making sure carpets, furniture, furnishings, lighting are all in sync, and above all curating a great menu and serving most efficiently…the challenges in organising a memorable wedding at the hotel is no mean task.

Wedding Trends in Hospitality

I talked with some hospitality industry professionals about the latest trends in wedding banquets pertaining to India’s hospitality industry. I also discussed what kind of innovative ideas they have executed to generate good business in this segment and what are the kind of challenges they have been facing to put up a good show, to the utmost satisfaction of their clients.

“The concept of wedding at banquets has evolved with time and now a hotel is not only a place to host events anymore. It has become a home for the family and for the guests. Nowadays a hotel can also be construed as a destination where guests can turn their moments into memories and embed them to their hearts for ages to come,” proffered Srijan Vadhera, General manager, Fairmont Jaipur.

“Keeping this in mind, the banqueting team of hotels has to prepare for the upcoming events so as to be prepared for what the guests expect and more to be about what they don’t expect. We go a step ahead when it comes to weddings and with the experience of hosting weddings from around the globe, we know what has to be delivered and when,” he elaborated further.
