India, Feb. 27 -- Indians have always been known for their larger-than-life weddings, but couples in Delhi are now trading the hassles of a destination celebration for a closer-to-home approach. By recreating the same charm within the city itself, couples are turning luxury hotels into multi-day celebration hubs. The appeal is both practical and emotional: families can celebrate together without anyone boarding a flight. Taking a step in this direction, Le Meridien New Delhi recently hosted The Great Delhi Dreams, a wedding showcase designed to demonstrate how destination-style celebrations can be recreated. The hotel transformed its venues into wedding settings, featuring evocative decor, live performances, and curated menus. Central to this approach are their personalised services, including its Wedding Ambassador and Wedding Shadow concepts: teams that work discreetly to choreograph every detail. The Westin Gurgaon offers multiple indoor and outdoor venues that can be styled uniquely for each ceremony. "From welcome soirees and mehendi to cocktail evenings and receptions, we curate events differently. A culinary programme led by expatriate chefs enables global menus tailored to each event," says Reshu Tyagi, Cluster Director of Sales and Marketing. ITC Grand Bharat Gurugram, too, offers signature venues featuring serene water and heritage-inspired architecture, perfect for evening soirees. Another wedding highlight is The Front Lawn venue, which provides an ideal setting for lavish gala dinners. Adopting a collaborative approach, they welcome your choice of planners and vendors, working hand-in-hand with them to bring your vision for the big day to life. Design and storytelling also play a pivotal role in shaping these experiences. At Grand Hyatt Gurgaon, Tarun Seth, General Manager, says, "Storytelling through food becomes a narrative element, with chef-led menus crafted in collaboration with families to reflect regional traditions and personal preferences. Supported by dedicated wedding specialists, the experience feels immersive and effortless."...
