Wedding Functions
Mehndi
The celebrations began with a soulful mehndi ceremony hosted in one of Sri Panwa’s private villas. As Sakshi adorned her hands with intricate henna, guests eased into the tropical rhythm, lounging poolside with cocktails, catching up with loved ones, and basking in the golden hues of the Phuket sunset.
Pool Party
What followed was a vibrant poolside bash that captured the youthful spirit of the wedding. The setting was effortlessly chic — fresh coconuts and sun umbrellas, complemented by a live DJ and panoramic ocean views. Sakshi and Rohan’s breezy arrival amped up the energy as guests splashed, danced, and sipped on signature cocktails.
Sangeet
As the sun dipped beyond the horizon, the celebration shifted gears into an evening of glam and groove. Held in the venue’s grand ballroom, the sangeet was filled with shimmering lights, stage performances, and heartfelt tributes. The couple’s friends hosted the evening with playful banter and endearing stories. Performances by friends and family added layers of laughter and sentiment. A delectable menu and expertly mixed cocktails kept spirits soaring till late.
Wedding
Under the open skies and surrounded by nature’s splendour, Sakshi and Rohan exchanged vows in a ceremony that felt deeply personal. With no formal baraat, the mood was minimal yet meaningful. Rohan arrived with quiet grace, flanked by his groomsmen, while Sakshi’s walk with her father was nothing short of poetic. Their varmala ceremony unfolded against a backdrop of endless blue and lush greenery. The mandap, nestled between the ocean and the mountains, was adorned with soft florals, allowing the natural surroundings to shine.
Reception
Elegance met emotion at the post-wedding reception. A relaxed cocktail hour allowed guests to unwind before transitioning into a curated sit-down dinner, complete with candlelit tables, exquisite plating, and intimate conversations. Sakshi and Rohan’s first dance under the stars, accompanied by a live singer, set the tone for the rest of the night. Fireworks lit up the sky just as their song ended. Rohan’s surprise serenade on the guitar left guests touched. The rest of the night was a blur of joy—live music, barefoot dancing under fairy lights, and hearts full of love.
After-Party
For those who still had energy to burn, the night continued at Dibuk House in Phuket Old Town. The moody venue, booked out exclusively, became the backdrop for a wild and carefree after-party. Signature cocktails, bass-heavy beats, and spontaneous dance-offs kept the crowd buzzing till sunrise.
