Jazz and Varun, Bangkok
Jazz and Varun hosted a rocking reception on an Oriental Voyages cruise ship after a beautiful wedding celebration in Bangkok.
The Land of Smiles left Varun, Jazz (Jaspreet) and their loved ones spellbound as the wedding celebrations unfolded at lovely venues across Bangkok, Thailand. The revelries were captured by WeddingSutra Favorite – DM Shots, whereas WeddingSutra Favorite Drama Queen by Marisa made the bride look the prettiest version of herself. Here, groom Varun shares the highlights of the wedding celebrations.
How We Met
“Jazz and I met each other for the first time at a business function and never stopped talking since then. Since we lived in different countries, meeting each other regularly wasn’t an option. However, we did make it a point to speak with each other every day.”
Proposal
“We were on holiday in Thailand when I proposed to her. The setting was surreal; there couldn’t have been a better place or moment. I popped the question on a private beach, and the moment she said ‘Yes’ made me the luckiest man in the world!”
Wedding Venues
“We loved it when we were in Thailand, and so we decided to host our wedding in the Land of Smiles. Lebua at State Tower was the venue for our sangeet. We were also very excited to have all our friends and family at the hotel’s Sky Bar. Located on the 64th floor of the tower, this is the world’s highest rooftop bar. Every room in the hotel is above the 50th floor, Under Wedding Venues and each one holds a breathtaking view. Nearly all our guests had been to Bangkok before, but having a wedding there was a vastly different experience. Our wedding ceremony took place at a gurudwara in Bangkok, and our reception took place on a cruise arranged by Oriental Voyages.”
Wedding Planning
“Our wedding was meticulously planned by our families, and Oriental Voyages helped us orchestrate our reception on their cruise ship. The catering at the gurudwara was looked after by The Indian Hut which is a popular restaurant there, and WeddingSutra Favourite DM Shots made sure that they captured every special moment from our wedding so that we can relive this special day whenever our heart desires. WeddingSutra Favourite Drama Queen by Marisa was Jazz’s makeup artist, and the team made her look like the prettiest version of herself for each event.”
Wedding Functions
Sangeet
“Our wedding celebrations began with our sangeet at Lebua at State Tower. The night was filled with songs and dancing and made for the perfect start to this joyous occasion. The banquet hall was the perfect size for our 100 guests and the staff there was beyond accommodating. Jazz wore a pink lehenga by Shyam Narayan Prasad, and I opted for a blue kurta with trousers.”
Wedding
“The following day we exchanged our vows at the gurudwara. Since the place was so beautiful by itself, there was hardly any need to decorate it any further. All we did was add a few blue and golden drapes for a festive touch. For this ceremony, Jazz wore a golden outfit from Frontier Raas in New Delhi, and I wore a Golden Sherwani.”
Reception
“For us, a cruise reception was our choice and was the highlight of the wedding as it served as an amazing venue. The party later shifted to the bridal suite of the hotel and this night made for a fitting end to our wedding. A black Shantanu & Nikhil gown was Jazz’s outfit of choice for this function while I opted for a green jacket and paired it with blue trousers.”
