Sagar & Mansi
A charming farmhouse wedding surrounded by open fields, fairy lights, and cosy bonfires.
12th to 14th December 2022
Kolkata — the City of Joy — is India's cultural soul. Bengali weddings are not merely celebrations; they're artistic expressions, steeped in rituals that have evolved over centuries. From the poetic beauty of Shubho Drishti, where bride and groom first gaze at each other through betel leaves, to the joyful chaos of Saat Paak, where the bride is lifted seven times around the groom — every ceremony carries profound meaning. And then there's the food: Bengali wedding cuisine is legendary, a feast that guests remember for years.
At Wedly Events, we understand that Kolkata weddings demand more than logistics — they require cultural fluency. We've planned celebrations in the city's magnificent colonial heritage venues, at grand five-star ballrooms overlooking the Hooghly, and in traditional community halls where generations have celebrated before. Whether you're seeking a classic Bengali wedding with all its rituals or a contemporary fusion celebration, we bring the attention to detail and emotional intelligence that Kolkata's discerning families expect.

Kolkata families approach weddings with both tradition and sophistication. The rituals must be honored — Ashirbaad, Gaye Holud, Bou Bhaat — each requiring specific arrangements and timing. The food expectations are exceptionally high; Bengali caterers are judged fiercely. The aesthetics must balance elegance with warmth. At Wedly Events, we've earned the trust of Kolkata families by understanding these nuances deeply.
Our Kolkata vendor network includes the city's finest — decorators who create setups worthy of the cultural capital, caterers whose chingri malaikari and mishti doi meet the highest standards, photographers who capture the emotion of Shubho Drishti, and musicians who understand when Rabindra Sangeet sets the perfect mood.
