How They Met

In their quest for solitude, luxury as well as convenience, the duo chose the beautiful Taj Fisherman’s Cove in Chennai that fit their vision perfectly.

Hence, we chose Chennai and from the first moment we set our eyes on Taj Fisherman’s Cove, we were completely convinced. Everything about the property was perfect for our plans from the capacity to the location. Also, it has plenty of vast spaces that not only allowed us to be creative but also gave the guests enough space to enjoy themselves.”

Fortunately, the Wedding Duo stepped in and ensured that everything was put together just the way we had imagined it. Having seen their work before, we had absolutely no doubt that they were going to do an amazing job, and looking at the results, we don’t think anyone else could’ve done better. All in all, the entire Wedding Duo team was stellar and cheerful as they interacted with our family and guests.

Wedding
“Following a pastel color scheme, the decor consisted of rustic and vintage boho elements that suited the pristine surrounding beautifully. The whole ceremony was abounding with cute details, and I made my way to the mandap with a walk through the beach surrounded by my loved ones. The seating consisted of a toupee tent while an island bar kept everyone in high spirits. Later, everyone made their way to the wooden pergola seating for dinner.”

Farmer’s Market
“The biggest and most planned out event of all, the Farmer’s Market was the highlight of our nuptials. And being a huge Farmer’s Market fan, I had always envisioned having an event revolve around the theme. So when the opportunity arose to have a relaxed party the day after the wedding, we went ahead with the Farmer’s Market theme.

The venue’s layout consisted of a little green lawn, a small glasshouse, a wooden deck, and a fantastic view of the beach. Keeping this in mind, decor-wise we chose all barn and rustic themed elements while also including plenty of games and food stalls. Overall, it was an extremely relaxed ambience where everyone had their share of fun as they gorged on delicious treats and lounged on the seats placed on the beach.”, shares Ritu.

Youngster’s Party
“We pulled all the stops for the last event and roped in Highlight Tribe who left us enthralled with a fantastic performance. The mastermind behind this glitzy event was Suyash who gave all his efforts in ensuring that everything went as planned. Punctuated with red and gold decor elements, the whole vibe was equally trippy and fabulous where everyone had the time of their lives!”, shares the happy bride.

Advice For Couples
“Try to be as involved as possible and rope in the right people to be a part of your squad. Also, when you’re planning the wedding ensure that you take everyone’s inputs into account as the younger generation can give you a whole host of fresh ideas.”, shares the couple.
