Welcome Dinner at ‘The Cowrie Cove’
It’s the first evening and all guests have arrived from different parts of the world having endured a
long and perhaps tiring journey over number of flying hours. The Cowrie Cove is where they unwind,
sip on a few cocktails at the Waves Bar while enjoying the sweeping views of the ocean. Not to forget
the great food this outlet serves with some unforgettable seafood delicacies.
The perfect beginning to a fun-filled few days ahead.
Mehendi at ‘The Gazebo’
The most ideal setting with the ocean backdrop for a colourful & floral Mehendi for the Bride
with her friends and family. The afternoon is pepped up by the DJ who spins some Bollywood
numbers while the bar tenders serve up the most refreshing cocktails to uplift the energy levels.
Throw in some BBQ, Bubbly and Shisha for a lovely afternoon.
Sangeet at ‘The Marquee’
This is what everyone was looking forward to. The Song & Dance extravaganza put together by family and friends
followed by the headliner performing artist who has flown down several miles to elevate the Sangeet celebrations.
For an event as such, the venue should be no less majestic and hence our pick is The Marquee which is a huge space
that can be used to create any theme you may choose with a combination of casual lounge seating as well as banquet seating.
It can also comfortably fit a large dance floor and the performance stage for the artist of band that you may have hired for this evening.
Ghari Puja at The Ocean Pavilion
An auspicious beginning to an auspicious day. This is the day when the Bride & Groom will unite in wedlock.
The families begin their day with a prayer ceremony (Puja) to welcome the Gods to bless the couple for their life journey ahead.
The gorgeous Ocean Pavilion plays venue to the gathering of close family members for this prayer ceremony.
A glass enclosure with views of the ocean, it definitely is the ideal setting for a fresh start into a new journey ahead.
Reception Eve at ‘The Mactan Ballroom’
Let’s welcome the newly wed to a room filled with family and friends over an elegantly themed Reception Eve.
