The groom, along with his family, reportedly surveyed numerous potential wedding venues before choosing the resort as the most suitable for the occasion.
This marks the second instance within approximately one year that Ha Long has been chosen by Indian billionaires as their preferred wedding venue.
On February 4-6 last year, a lavish wedding of the wealthy Indian groom Dhruv Taneja and his bride Shravya Bakliwal occurred at the same resort, attracting over 400 guests from India’s elite circles.
The upcoming wedding presents a valuable opportunity for the local tourism sector to enhance the promotion of the renowned natural wonder, Ha Long Bay, to international visitors, according to the department.
In addition to Ha Long, two other renowned destinations in Vietnam, Da Nang City on the central coast, and Phu Quoc Island City in Kien Giang Province in the Mekong Delta region, have been chosen by Indian billionaires as wedding venues in recent years.
In March 2019, a lavish week-long wedding ceremony was held for the groom Rushang Shah and his bride Kaabia Grewal at the JW Marriott Hotel in Phu Quoc, attended by nearly 700 guests.
In November of the same year, an affluent Indian family organized a four-day wedding celebration for their daughter at the Sheraton Grand Da Nang Resort in Da Nang, with over 650 attendees.
More recently, in January 2023, a five-day extravagant wedding event occurred in Da Nang for the groom Gaurav Palrecha and his bride Tuisha Seksaria, hosting over 350 invitees.
