Binita Patel and Sandeep Parekh – Phuket, Thailand
Binita and Sandeep met through common friends and love took its course and brought them together. The couple wanted to indulge in an intimate and a dream like wedding, and hence landed up choosing Phuket, Thailand as their wedding venue.
Binita Patel and Sandeep Parekh from London got married in Phuket, Thailand in July 2012. The couple met through common friends and love took its course and bought them together. The couple wanted to seal their love in an intimate wedding at a dream-like locale. A chance meeting with Neha Mehrotra, owner of Foreign Wedding Planners at the Asian Bridal Show 2011 at Wembley Stadium, London got them to decide on a Destination Wedding in idyllic Thailand.
The Wedding Planner
Over 100 guests flew in from London, Kenya and India to Phuket’s beautiful resort Cape Sienna at Kamala Beach. The three day celebrations were managed by Foreign Wedding Planners (FWP)- the decor & logistics, F & B, hospitality, travel arrangements and entertainment. Says Binita: “I always wanted my wedding to be at a very quiet & exclusive locale and when I saw photographs of Cape Sienna, I knew that is where I wanted to marry. Me and Sandeep then convinced our families that there could not be a more pictureseque location for a life time of memories.”
