About

Expanding horizons and breaking through borders – that has always been the mission of Indian Destination Wedding.

Led by seasoned event planner Ateet Ahuja – we’ve always been impassioned by the prospect of helping folks create memorable moments they’ll cherish for a lifetime, and have been planning international, Indian and fusion weddings since 1996.

“We love being a part of one of the most significant days in someone’s life,” Ateet said. “We pride ourselves on handling our weddings with professionalism and creativity, and are committed to making sure our clients’ visions become their reality.”

As we looked to form Indian Destination Wedding, we asked ourselves a simple question:

What could we do to not only stand out among the crowd, but to help our clients have the wedding of their dreams?

The answer was simple: We’d actually spend time getting to know our clients before we start planning their weddings.

People who choose us to plan their wedding or travel arrangements are taken back by how committed we are to getting to know their vision. A singular phone call or hastily written email simply won’t do. We engage in conversations with our clients because we know it’s this type of personalized touch that will help us create customized tours and packages that are as unique and individualized as our clients themselves.

An expertise in recreating the idyllic Indian experience

Ateet and his team of travel and wedding planning experts have helped plan and execute countless culturally diverse and destination weddings since the mid-90s. Being Indian, Ateet is uniquely gifted in designing and developing Indian weddings that feature many aspects of the culture. He speaks Hindi, Punjabi, Urdu and Spanish, and is well-skilled in understanding, respecting, and implementing the many subtle – yet important – cultural differences that an Indian wedding might encompass, including food, clothing, music and traditions. “The magic of a successful destination wedding is in the details,” Ateet said. “From making sure guests’ travel plans are taken care of to ensuring that the linens match the overall décor, we treat every component as if it’s the most important because, simply put, it is.”

Best Wedding Ever!

We cannot thank Ateet and his team at Indian Destination Wedding enough for EVERYTHING they did to make sure every logistical detail for our Cancun wedding was taken care of. From the moment we started working with them, they made sure all of our questions were answered and made the process of planning from afar as easy as possible. They were always thorough, timely and very professional (even when some of our guests were…difficult). As with planning almost any wedding, we encountered challenges along the way, but IDW did everything they could to resolve problems as quickly and painlessly as possible. Our guests were able to go directly to the team for answers to any of their travel questions (and there were A LOT), which took a lot of pressure off of us with everything else we had going on. We are honestly not sure how we would have been able to pull off such an amazing wedding weekend without all of the hard work and support IDW provided. THANK YOU!

We cannot thank Ateet and his team enough for their exceptional services during our Indian destination wedding. Ateet's strong relationships with the resort made the room block process a breeze.

Additionally, their referral to the amazing planners added an extra touch of magic to our special day. We are truly grateful for their unwavering dedication and support, making our wedding an unforgettable event for us and our guests. Highly recommended for anyone planning a destination wedding.

Amazing experience!!

Amazing Experience working with the team! They really know what they are doing and so glad we went with someone who has been in the South Asian wedding industry for quite some time and had good fusion wedding experience. Had the best time working with them and they made our wedding fun!

Excellent Travel Concierge Service

Roshan and I used Indian Destination Weddings as our travel concierge service for our May 2023 wedding at Hard Rock Riviera Maya. As someone who hadn't attended a destination wedding and had no idea where to start with planning, Ateet and his team were extremely comforting and knowledgable right off the bat during our initial consultation. From listening to our "must haves," finding our venue and locking it down, to dealing with all the back and forth with room changes and the resort, Ateet and his team took care of everything. They were extremely great with communicating every detail to us and did an amazing job at burning out all the fires that came our way. Our wedding weekend was stress free because Indian Destination Wedding handled all aspects of travel (transportation to and from the airport/resort) and rooming block in an organized manner. We would highly recommend their services to anyone who is thinking about doing a destination wedding!

So Grateful for Ateet!

Working with Ateet at Indian Destination Wedding was truly one of the best decisions we made during our wedding planning process. From the very beginning, he was incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, and supportive. We looked at a few travel agents, but our conversation with Ateet felt the most natural.

We were considering multiple locations in Mexico, and Ateet created a personalized list of resorts across three different destinations, complete with detailed information about each one. This saved us from having to travel just to tour venues—we felt confident making a decision thanks to his expertise.

What really stood out was how responsive and honest he was. No matter how many questions we had (and there were a lot!), Ateet answered every email quickly and with total transparency. He never pushed us in one direction, but instead gave us all the pros and cons so we could make the best choice for ourselves.

He managed all of our guest travel and resort bookings, and built a custom wedding website full of important info for our guests. It was so thorough and so well organized that numerous guests complemented us on how much they appreciated the amount of details they were provided. On top of that, he added thoughtful touches like personalized welcome signs at the resort entrances, which meant so much to us.

We truly felt like we had a partner through the entire process. If you're planning a destination wedding, we highly recommend Ateet and Indian Destination Wedding. You’ll be in the best hands!

Thank you for Coordinating Our Cabo Wedding!

Ateet and his team at Indian Destination Wedding helped to make our Cabo wedding such a dream! We had a wonderful experience and would recommend their services to any couple looking to plan a destination wedding. Ateet was pleasant and knowledgeable throughout our months of communicating. He responds promptly and thoroughly, and he truly helped us from the beginning to the end of our wedding planning process. He worked with us to provide invaluable guidance when selecting a wedding venue that aligned with our vision. The travel arrangements for our guests were clearly detailed and this helped alleviate stressors for us as a couple. Ateet also provided us with assistance in getting responses from wedding resort coordinators and help to remedy a forgotten private check-in process the day before most of our guests arrived. Thank you Ateet and IDW for your expertise, attention to detail, and for making our wedding so wonderful!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
