Now here is a wedding which looked like a hoot! We love a couple who look like they're having a blast at their own wedding, and of course, the fact that the bride rocked some amazing outfits even makes it more interesting for us! This Indian Canada-based couple’s wedding at The Holiday Inn Goa was a celebration of love and laughter. It was a Tamilian Maharashtrian mixed mixed wedding affair, and they had 2 weddings to celebrate both their cultures. Full marks to the team of The Picture Patch Photography who captured everything beautifully on their lens.
Meet Anjanaa and Varun
10 years, 4 countries, a year of long distance and 2 schools later, we have reached this moment! Our journey began in the Swiss alps as great friends during our under-graduation as aspiring hoteliers at Les Roches. We continued to stay in touch after graduating and we started dating on 18th August 2017. 4 years later, on 18th August 2021, Varun proposed!

Reception
From The Bride:
Our wedding was an intimate celebration with our closest family members and friends in Goa. The celebrations spanned over two days 3-4 May 2022! Our main focus was to have a fun and chill vibe. Loved that we knew everyone who attended and that just made it so much more fun and had that informal aspect to it.
Style: Less is more; Fun; Vibrant
I used the WedMeGood app to browse through vendors and artists! Great app.
Vendor Reviews
Venue: Venue: The Holiday Inn Resort, Goa (Cavelossim Beach)
Couldn’t have chosen a better location! The team was amazing and the hotel had beautiful event venues. Everyone absolutely loved the food and drinks. Since we are South Indians (bride side) we requested for a banana leaf meal (sadhya) service which the chef was able to organize seamlessly as well.
Photography: The Picture Patch Photography
Not much to say about them as their pictures speak for themselves! The entire team was so funny, and a lot of fun. True magicians as they captured all our memories so perfectly!
Hair and Makeup: Ankita Manwani
Ankita was fabulous! She was able to understand my style and execute the minimal looks I wanted with ease. I would definitely reach out to her for any other future events I have or recommend her to anyone else looking for a great make up artist!
Wedding Planning and Decor: The Wedding Tantra
It was great having TWT plan our wedding; they were easily able to translate our vision into a beautiful and memorable wedding! The entire team was amazing and really helpful with even the tiniest of requests. Even small details like a surprise welcome care package for the bride and groom that they had kept in our rooms made it very special.
Adithya and the team really understood what we had envisioned - fun, vibrant and colorful! My favourite event and the one I was most excited about was the Mehendi Sundowner where I wanted a travel/vintage theme which they executed so perfectly. All our events also had a surprise decor element which really enhanced the entire vibe. Loved it!
