Real Wedding Story: A Royal Celebration in the Kangra Valley

The Royal Commission

Some calls change everything. When we were invited to serve as the Exclusive Event Partner for the wedding of the Prince of Kangra Dynasty, we understood immediately — this wasn't just another wedding. This was history in the making.

The Kangra Fort — the largest fort in the Indian Himalayas, with a legacy stretching across 4,000 years — would become the stage. And we would transform this archaeological monument into a celebration worthy of royalty.

The Royal Couple

Royal Kangra Prince Tikaraj Ambikeshwar Katoch Ji and Rajkumari Kamalakshi Singh of Ramnagar MP — the granddaughter of former Chief Minister Raja Digvijay Singh Ji. A union of two legendary families, requiring planning that honoured centuries of tradition while embracing contemporary elegance.

Distinguished Guests from Around the World

VVIP Royal Guests from Germany, France, Belgium, and the United Kingdom. All major Indian Maharajas and Maharanis. The weight of their expectations was immense — and we were determined to exceed every one of them.

The Three-Day Celebration

Day One began with a traditional Himachali welcome ceremony — authentic folk performances, local cuisine tasting, and a private concert by renowned classical musicians. The fort's ancient walls echoed with music that hadn't been heard in centuries.

Day Two — the ceremony itself. The central courtyard bloomed with over 50,000 fresh flowers flown in from across India. Roses, orchids, marigolds — arranged in patterns that honoured both Himachali and Madhya Pradesh royal traditions.

Day Three closed with a grand reception — a fusion of North Indian and Himachali royal cuisine, served across multiple elegant dining areas for over 500 guests.
