When a couple can laugh so easily together and make even the most mundane moments feel special, you know theirs is a lifetime kind of love. That’s the kind of bond between Simran and Ben who had an enchanting Indian destination wedding at Moon Palace Cancun.
From their welcome night and mehndi to the sangeet, ceremony and reception and everything in between, their inspiring bond showed effortlessly as they celebrated with their guests.
Read on to get the details of this enchanting Indian destination wedding and get tips you can use for your own dream wedding in paradise.
Ben and Simran’s wedding journey began by finalizing their destination and resort. Planning out the logistics of a destination wedding can get overwhelming very quickly and can lead to information overwhelm.
That’s why they chose to work with us here at Indian Destination Wedding. We took them through our signature Resort Match Finder process as we do for all of our clients to find the resort that didn’t just fit their budget but also their vision for their wedding. We always ensure the resort has not just the things they are looking for but also the things they might not have even considered that can make a big difference.
Through our process, we determined that Moon Palace Cancun would be perfect. Finding the perfect location among hundreds of resorts in Mexico and the Caribbean is no easy task and can take much longer when you try to do it on your own. Working with our agency means you’ll get matched quickly to a location and resort that fits your vision, budget and has ample experience with South Asian weddings.
Deciding on the location and resort is just the beginning. Having a wedding planner on your side to navigate the intricate details of a destination wedding is crucial.
Ben and Simran worked with the incredible Pyaar Planning team to help them bring their vision to life. We love recommending them as they not only take great care of our clients but they have ample experience with Indian weddings.
They understand the unique customs that make our weddings special and are ready to offer suggestions to take great ideas to the next level. They are well-connected in the industry so they can create weddings to fit any vision you have in mind by bringing together the right teams.
To find a wedding planner you can trust, you can often ask for referrals from us as we know the best of the best in the industry. Don’t be afraid to ask about the biggest challenges they have overcome with other weddings and how their team handles any potential setbacks. Their answers can reveal whether or not they would work for your wedding.
Simran’s glam team consisted of the talented team at Lemons and Mehndi, a part of Styling Trio who also did her hair and makeup. Working with groups under the same roof allowed Simran to benefit from their expertise and ability to work seamlessly together to make her look her best for every event of her wedding.
These teams are true pros when it comes to providing beauty services for South Asian weddings in Mexico and the Caribbean. When it comes to mehndi, they aim to tell the unique story of each bride and groom through their skin designs. They treat the process with great reverence treating it as the beautiful art that it is while handling intricate designs easily.
Hair and makeup through Styling Trio looks flawless because they understand the importance of looking glamorous and vibrant while highlighting your unique beauty on your wedding day. They listen closely to what their clients request and are ready to give thoughtful suggestions to brides that will create looks that are chic and elegant.
As you select your glam team, inquire whether they have other divisions or sister brands that they work with as often that can help you save money by bundling services together.
For the baraat, Drums in Paradise provided their expert drumming services to usher Ben to the ceremony site in one exciting procession.
The Drums in Paradise team offers drummers, fire dancers, water drummers and more to add a layer of excitement to weddings. Their entertainment services are one of the experiences that help set apart a traditional wedding from a tropical destination wedding.
If you want a wedding week that will give your guests something to remember, including their entertainers for different parts of your wedding (especially the welcome night, baraat and reception) is the perfect way to do so.
As you consider drummers for your wedding, it’s helpful to find an entertainment company that offers more than just drummers under one roof to bundle your services together. Some companies offer live musicians in addition to drummers while others, like Drums in Paradise, have water drum shows you can add on to your package.
Since the reception is the last event of a wedding, ending it with a quality DJ who will make it memorable for you and your guests is important. Ben and Simran chose DJ Jiten of Empire Entertainment for their outstanding reputation when it comes to orchestrating music for wedding receptions that are packed with excitement.
DJ Jiten is a hard-working pro who creates one-of-a-kind song blends that delight guests and pack dance floors. We love that he is a DJ that can easily adjust the music to the guests’ energy, culture and tastes so that everyone has a good time.
As you interview various DJs, consider ask about their policies and backup options in case they are unable to make it to the wedding due to an unforeseen reason. Working with a DJ that is part of a large company ensures you’ll have more options to explore such as getting a replacement DJ that your own DJ knows, trusts, and would recommend.
