Manisha Advani and Kartik Sharma, Vinpearl Resort & Spa Hạ Long, Vietnam
Set against the pristine waters of Halong Bay, this couple's tropical-inspired phera ceremony blended elegance with breathtaking natural beauty.
Manisha Advani and Kartik Sharma, based in Dubai, envisioned a destination wedding that celebrated their shared love for travel, thoughtful design, and immersive experiences. Bringing this vision to life with impeccable precision, WeddingSutra Favorite – Krayonz Entertainment curated a celebration that balanced contemporary luxury with deeply personal touches. From seamless guest experiences to beautifully layered festivities, every detail reflected the couple’s personality.
Wedding Planning
Entrusted with translating the couple’s vision into reality, Krayonz Entertainment designed a celebration rooted in a modern tropical aesthetic that felt fresh, vibrant, and effortlessly experiential. Each function was given its own distinct identity while remaining connected through a cohesive visual language, allowing the celebrations to flow naturally from one event to the next. Sharing the thought behind the celebration, Achint Nag from Krayonz Entertainment says, “Manisha and Kartik wanted every guest to feel like they were stepping into a new experience with each event while still feeling part of one cohesive celebration. We focused on creating moments that felt immersive yet effortless, ensuring every detail reflected their personalities and love for meaningful hospitality.”
From bohemian-inspired daytime celebrations to glamorous evenings, the décor evolved beautifully across the festivities through a thoughtful interplay of textures, colours, and styling that complemented the destination’s natural beauty. The guest experience began long before the festivities, with a specially curated radio-style programme accompanying the drive from the airport to the hotel, blending music, stories, and glimpses of the celebrations ahead. The warm welcome continued with an energetic dragon dance accompanied by the rhythmic beats of the dhol, instantly immersing guests in the spirit of the wedding.
