So, if you’re someone who is looking to say “I do” in an exotic, lavish setting, consider Hyatt hotel — a one-stop for all things destination weddings. 

Hyatt India hotels are taking numerous measures as well as offering sustainable options to their guests that can be incorporated into their ceremonies. Manish Yadav and Pragya Rathore from Rajasthan’s Alila Fort Bishangarh, says, “The most memorable wedding at the Fort was Divya and Aman Kapur’s wedding where we adopted a ‘vocal for local’ approach and planned a sustainable wedding that became the trendsetter in Rajasthan. Everything was ethically and locally sourced and the cuisine was curated keeping in mind the lost recipes of Bishangarh and organic produce from the farm.”

Whether you’re looking for breathtaking seaside or mountain views, historical architecture, or simply hoping to incorporate the element of travel and adventure into your celebration, this grand hotel’s properties that have dotted the country have something for everyone. Read along as we get into conversation with event planners at Hyatt hotels to get a better understanding of all their properties and the flawless services offered by them.

Wedding by the bay

Few things compare to the charm of a beach wedding — the rugged shorelines, the endless expanse of pristine beaches, towering palm trees and the ultimate essence of romance. Nestled in the north of Goa, Grand Hyatt is a destination of its own. With world-class amenities including butlers for the bride and groom, a surprise dinner in the middle of a pool, endless adventure activities like sailing, kayaking and wind-surfing, and an in-house casino, this succulent hotel is sure to keep your schedule busy. The VIP treatment is extended to your furry friend as well. 

A scenic backdrop

Set amidst scenic mountains, lush landscapes and cliffs, Hyatt Regency Dehradun is the perfect location for couples who want to foray into their next chapter while being amid nature. Featuring ample indoor and outdoor spaces for different events, a culinary expertise catering to every taste and a location that exudes novelty, this timeless venue offers everything you would need to have the most serene and picturesque wedding day.

Hyatt Regency takes the green initiative of marrying sustainability with an emotional connection by planting a sampling with the couple’s names. Nasheet Mushtaque, the director of events at Hyatt Regency Dehradun, says, “Before departure, every couple plants a sapling with their names in front which we take care of on their behalf and it’s like they are leaving a part of themselves behind. The emotional connection with the families becomes a bond of a lifetime.”

The royal treatment

Experience a fairytale wedding coming to life at Alila Fort Bishangarh. This palatial splendour provides a lot more than just breathtaking views. They offer the perfect royal wedding experiences such as helicopter rides, hot air balloon rides for the newlyweds, arrivals in a vintage car and a night under the stars with folk dance performances and traditional cuisine cooked over a wood fire pit. This place perfectly fits twosomes who believe in making history towards creating a fabled forever while also being environmentally conscious.

Expanding on the sustainability front, Manish Yadav, the director of sales and events at the fort says, “Weddings at Alila Fort Bishangarh are a celebration of sustainability and artistic exploration from the initial stage. The moment the guests show interest in a destination wedding we educate them about the concept of the sustainable wedding which envelopes the selection of local food, performance by the regional artist, and environmental-conscious décor.”

Opulence meets traditions

Nestled in the heart of Mumbai, Grand Hyatt Mumbai is for those who enjoy the hustle and bustle of the city and want to make sweet promises of a distinct ever-after. This lavish property offers multiple open green spaces, majestic backdrops and personalised menus created by culinary masters. Keeping dietary preferences in mind, global flavours and organic spreads are all part of the wedding banquet. Additionally, customised hampers, exotic locations for pre-wedding shoots as well as an in-house salon and spa are some of the many flawless services provided by Grand Hyatt Mumbai.

Celebrate good times

To make sure your nuptials are nothing short of grandeur, charm and pizzazz, the team at Hyatt has put together an all-hands-on-deck wedding crew called the ‘Celebrations’ team. It comprises members from different departments to cater to the requirements in the planning process. A dedicated meeting space called ‘Wedding Studio’ is where all meetings are conducted — from gift hamper samples and food tasting to uniform design options and a glimpse of crockery variations.

Expanding on this personalised service Aloka from the team of Grand Hyatt Mumbai says, “During this process, the preferences and tastes of the couple and family are understood, which assists us in designing the finer details of the functions. From food tastings and menu curations to iconic setups, the team is involved end to end. With religion playing an important aspect of any wedding, the way forward is to have a balance of traditions whilst keeping it contemporary. In the end, the objective is to offer a ‘grand’ wedding, which is created as #PerfectlyYours.”
