n unbeatable amalgamation of exquisite culture, delicious food and warm
hospitality led Pooja Pandya and Akshay Sanghrajka to settle upon
AThailand as their destination. After visiting several properties, they walked
into AVANI+ Hua Hin Resort and were immediately sold on the hotel’s ambience and
quality of service. From the lively and traditional-style mehendi to the tear-jerking
walk down the aisle, Pooja’s romantic nuptials encompassed the very best of a
destination wedding.
“ In Thailand, no request

is too big!

POOJA “

Why is Thailand the ideal wedding destination?
“The hospitality Thai people have to offer – they go
above and beyond to make things happen. In Thailand, no
request is too big!”

How did the hotel comply with your function needs?
“We wanted an open lawn space for most of the events, a scenic
backdrop for the wedding ceremony, and a fully-equipped sound
system in the ballroom for the sangeet. The hotel had the best of
all these requirements.”

What were the themes for each celebration?
“We had a carnival-themed mehendi with food carts adorned
with ethnic décor; a traditional yellow and orange-hued

wedding; a Sufi sangeet which featured performances by
playback singer Parthiv Gohil; and a reception with a chic
semi-formal cherry blossom theme.”

Which event was your favourite?
“I enjoyed each one, so it is difficult to choose just one, but if

I had to, I would say the mehendi, since it was the first event,
which kicked off the rest of the festivities. All of our guests
had just arrived and everyone was in the highest of spirits.”

What advice would you give other couples seeking a
wedding location?
“Don’t settle for something you are not 100 percent
certain about.”
