Trends | InterContinental Chennai launches wedding staycations

The package is designed with curated sightseeing itineraries for outstation guests to UNESCO World heritage site Mahabalipuram, a dedicated activity planner for kids with nanny services, and oceanography/ surfing lessons for adults.

InterContinental Chennai Mahabalipuram Resort has announced the launch of its wedding staycation package Muhuratham By The Bay for to-be wedded and families looking to club their wedding celebrations with vacation retreat. Last year, the Resort saw a huge shift in the wedding segments with couples looking to have a more all-inclusive wedding experience, with families. The package is designed with curated sightseeing itineraries for outstation guests to UNESCO World heritage site Mahabalipuram, a dedicated activity planner for kids with nanny services, and oceanography/ surfing lessons for adults.

Muhuratham By The Bay by InterContinental Chennai Mahabalipuram Resort is truly experiential in nature, as it caters to the growing need for intimate weddings in a safe haven, although with continued International travel restrictions more couples are looking at shot-gun wedding format which can be built into a destination vacation. InterContinental Chennai Mahabalipuram drives an advantage of open areas, sprawling landscape, and pristine beach access which appeals to the popularity of the concept. The hotel has further personalized this wedding staycation with themed meals in-built to the package, provision of an on-site venue for a social celebration, chauffeur services for the newlyweds, and access to an in-house Spa & Salon for grooming. Guest numbers for this micro wedding staycation may vary from 50 guests to 100 guests.

Speaking about the initiative, General Manager Kunal Shanker shares "We decided to get creative and curate a way that allowed couples to enjoy all the perks of getting married at a beautiful beach resort destination, but with some of the bigger planning decisions already taken care of. We've streamlined everything and launched a dedicated InterContinental Weddings Microsite that highlights the ins and outs of the Muhuratham By The Bay Package. Our options are continuing to evolve as the needs of our couples change. We are looking forward to seeing how our guests respond to this initiative."
