Step into a regal evening where heritage meets elegance. The majestic courtyards of the Fairmont rise to the occasion, welcoming two distinguished families as they unite in celebration. Guests are invited to adorn traditional opulence—silks, zari, gemstones—while an intimate soiree of fine music and curated hors d’oeuvres sets the tone. A shimmering welcome at dusk, ambient lighting dancing off palatial white walls, and warm heartfelt toasts frame the start of our three-day celebration of love.
“Where stories begin beneath palace lights and promises echo through royal halls.”
In the soft glow of the morning, beneath fluttering prayer flags and fragrant marigolds, the sacred union unfolds. The groom’s noble procession — a vibrant baraat — arrives in splendour at 9 AM, while at 10:30 AM we gather for an Anand Karaj that blends timeless Sikh tradition with the understated grandeur of our host venue. Your presence is requested in elegant day-festive attire—to honour the moment, framed by the palace’s serene gardens.
“When hearts beat as one, and dawn witnesses the promise of eternity.”
After the vows, join us in the luminous gardens for “Phoolwari” — a refined luncheon amid lush floral tapestries and curated culinary delights. Delicate blooms cascade from arches, and attentive service ensures every moment is effortless yet memorable. With live acoustic melodies in the background and bespoke plating with delicate flavours, this luncheon is a celebration of family, legacy and new beginnings.
“As petals fall softly around new beginnings, we savour life’s sweetest offerings.”
Under the chandeliers and vaulted ceilings of the palace, we unveil “Once Upon a Mahal” — an evening of artistic indulgence and curated experiences. Think bespoke cocktail stations, a gallery-styled showcase of B & A’s journey, and immersive ambience set to live jazz. Attire: Black tie or gala couture. Arrive poised for champagne, dusk-lit conversations and reflections in a timeless regal setting.
“When art and love entwine under a palace sky — this is our exhibition of imperishable joy.”
A warm gathering for kin, dear friends and cherished guests — “Apno Ka Aangan” celebrates the familial bonds behind the grand journey. Join us under gentle daylight in the palace’s verandah spaces, where long communal tables, classic décor and heartfelt conversations await. Dress: Day elegant—crisp linens, selective shimmer, flowers in the hair.
“Where laughter lingers among loved ones, and every plate carries a memory.”
Prepare for a cinematic arrival: Aditya’s baraat will set off at 3 PM, from the shimmering jetty of the legendary Jagmandir Island Palace — accompanied by shehnaai, drummers, and an entourage in vivid celebratory spirit. Witness the groom navigating palatial waters towards the isle of vows, a metaphor for his journey into eternal partnership. Dress: Regal ethnic with ceremony-appropriate splendour (groom’s theme: princely white & gold).
“On water we parade, to pledge on land — the barometer of love.”
As the golden hour descends onto Lake Pichola, we convene on Jagmandir Island to witness the pledge of forever. At 6 PM we greet the baraat, at 6:30 PM the exchange of floral garlands begins, culminating in the sacred pheras at 7 PM. The evening evolves into a grand gala: gourmet dining beneath a canopy of stars, live band, dance floor and moments that will echo across lifetimes. Dress: Evening gala – velvet, jewels, dramatic silhouettes.
“When vows ascend and stars descend — our love story is written in light.
As the celebrations draw to a heartfelt close, we pause for the most tender moment of all — a goodbye wrapped in love. Surrounded by family, blessings, and memories made in shimmering palace courtyards, Bani takes her final steps from her childhood into a new chapter of forever with Aditya.
"A farewell not of distance, but of destiny."
