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
and
our
family.
