Mehendi & A Caribbean-Themed Brunch
“We both live in Mumbai but picked Pune because it was convenient for our families, while still being out of the city. We narrowed down on Hyatt Regency because everyone we’d met there was super nice and helpful, and they offered us a lot of flexibility in our planning process – big shoutout to Ankita who treated us like family. Plus we really liked their EQ:IQ venue, which was a nice big space that could be used in different ways… we were able to use it for 2 functions without it feeling like the same venue at all.”- says Rashmi.

“A Caribbean-themed brunch since I grew up in the Caribbean. The function was originally meant to be a lowkey mixer for people to get to know each other over beer, sangria & rum cocktails. But then… the morning of the function, while I was getting my make-up done, it was announced the ENTIRE WEEKEND would be a dry weekend.
I nearly had a meltdown, but Sid and our wedding planning team (Q Events & Weddings) worked behind-the-scenes to level it up without telling me. What was supposed to be a chill mixer now became a raging party – within 2 hours, they arranged for a DJ, a host, a foosball table, limbo, and a guitarist… all to make up for the lack of alcohol. And that’s how my Caribbean brunch became a raging Bollywood party.”- says the bride.
“It ended up being a ton of fun, and I think it was the perfect start to our wedding. (Thankfully, the dry weekend was called off after that function, so we could serve alcohol at the rest of the parties.)“- says the bride.
