One of the most memorable hospitality experience in India. We (me and my brother) celebrated our parents' golden anniversary on New years 2022/23 along with an extended troupe of family and friends (120+) and enjoyed two great fun filled evenings here. It all started with a phone call eight months prior to the event when I called Mr Shadab Warsi, the resort manager, to plan the event. Shadab Sir was extremely accommodating and professional through the entire planning and budgeting process and made sure that the overall process sets the groundwork for a pleasant and comfortable celebration. He was very instrumental in the success of this event.
We started our celebration from afternoon of 31st Dec 2022 and ended on 2nd Jan 2023. We had our friends and family stayed at the hotel through two nights (40+ rooms). We almost stress tested the resort facilities on 31st Dec when most of our guests arrived early and lunch had to be arranged in the nick of time. The resort's restaurant graciously accommodated the lunch overload without any hiccups. (I will come to the food later).
We had planned for three formal events- 31st Dec evening, 1st Jan lunch, and final closing event on 1st evening. The event planning was composed of two parts. 1) The event itself and 2) the hotel/food/drinks.
Given I do not reside in India, this entire event planning posed significant logistical challenges. This is where Upendra ji, the event planning manager from Akshara communications, stepped in. An extremely affable and easygoing personality, he tolerated us diligently through the 5 months of constant battering of questions over whatsapp and video calls.
He and his group (special thanks to Anjali ji) made sure that all the three events were managed impeccably. Flower decoration, event entry, stage setup, sound and light setup were done so well that even the relatives who could not make the event (and who heard about it) have been sending regards on such a great arrangement. Upendra ji was also very accommodating on our anniversary and adhoc cake requests for birthday celebrations of our family members.
For 1st evening, we had planned a special dance performance by my Mom, which required special light/sound sequence. Vishal Ji, who was responsible for this, worked with me to make sure the light and music times well with my mom's stage appearance. That made my Mom's dance memorable amongst all the video recordings that were taken during the event.
We also hired the services of a wedding photographer/ videographer through the two days. Vishal ji from Absolute Wedding studio ensured that the memories from these events last more than the lifetime. Such great pictures, including the candid ones , made us travel back in time and will continue to help us relive those moments.
Folks can enjoy the events, the pictures, the decoration, the stay, but one thing ppl do not forget easily is the food. Shadab sir had worked with us on varied menu choices, but the real man who made the food great was Chef Vishwanath Shukla ji. Our relatives have been calling from far and wide since the event that the food was one of the finest they had in years. And this is not an understatement. We had put veg, non veg specialities, and multiple dessert choices in the menu, and everything was done really really well. When a great event is combined with great food, it gift wraps the entire experience with a bow. Thanks again to Vishwanath Shuklaji for making this culinary experience memorable for our family and friends.
I know I have only expressed praises and praises for the entire experience. But this is true. How often do you relish a hospitality experience that is so well rounded from every aspect- hotel stay, events, food, memories, and overall experience.
I also know this experience is not just work of single or few individuals. An army of people , sometimes unseen faces, who work behind the scenes tirelessly to make these events memorable. We wish to thank all of them and Golden Blossom management in making this a once in a lifetime for our parents...
