In just one year, Bandhan by Shangri-La has grown from a heartfelt idea into one of the most trusted wedding platforms in the region; a place where couples come to celebrate love, honour traditions, and begin new chapters surrounded by genuine hospitality.

A meaningful beginning

Launched with the vision of creating deeply meaningful destination weddings, Bandhan brings together Shangri-La’s most iconic hotels across India and beyond. In its first year, the program has already made a remarkable impact.

From the vibrant energy of New Delhi and Bangalore to the coastal beauty of Colombo and Hambantota, every celebration has reflected the diversity of South Asian weddings—grand, intimate, modern, or steeped in age-old rituals.

Expanding global horizons

This past year also marked Bandhan’s expansion to new horizons. Istanbul has emerged as a favourite for couples seeking an East-meets-West charm, while Dubai continues to shine as a glamorous choice for multi-day celebrations.

Abu Dhabi is quickly rising in popularity, offering contemporary luxury with Arabian authenticity. In Europe, Paris has captured the imagination of couples seeking pre- and post-wedding photoshoots or romantic honeymoons—the perfect blend of elegance and affection.

Rising interest across Asia

The upward trend across Asia continues to strengthen Bandhan’s appeal. Destinations like Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand, and beloved cities across China are now drawing increased interest from Indian couples looking for experiences that are both exotic and effortlessly personalised. These locations offer stunning backdrops complemented by the warmth, care, and meticulous attention to detail that define Shangri-La.

A promise at the heart of Bandhan

At the heart of Bandhan lies a simple promise: to create weddings that feel personal, meaningful, and truly unforgettable. Teams across all participating hotels work closely with couples and families to ensure every moment—from the mehendi to the pheras to the final farewell—feels seamless, joyous, and filled with love.
