We celebrated our wedding day at Twenty Four hotel. Me and my fiancé live in Bangalore, but our hometown is Bhubaneswar, Odisha. I am a Marwari and my fiancé is Odia, because of that, there were many things to take care of, like veg/non-veg food, rituals and cultural differences, etc. We got to know about the hotel through my cousin’s recommendation about the place, arrangement, food and the people. At first we were skeptical, as we both have IT jobs, and were funding our marriage, so how much would a Prestige hotel cost for hosting our wedding, whether the food would be good, how will we manage the arrangements in a new city, etc. But when we met with Jahir sir ( the Head Chef), all our worries turned to laughter, joy and relief. He treated us like his family, and took the responsibility for all the arrangements, starting from decoration, photography, room booking, food menu and timings, even the priest was booked by him. And all of this, for a price we cannot fathom in a city like Bangalore. All we had to do was trust him and show up on our wedding day. He would follow up with us every few days for any changes or requirements. Noor sir, followed up for food menu, Dibas took care of room booking, and Jahir sir, overlooked everything.

Then can the wedding day, 28 January, 2024. From the start there was delay, which is common in any indian wedding. We got late by 4 hrs from our planned schedule. Me as a bride, i was very anxious, and was not able to relax. Jahir sir, Dibas sir, both came to me personally, and said, “ Maam, it is your day, don’t take stress, just smile, give all your stress to us”, and instantly, I felt relaxed and blessed. As the wedding day, moved forward, I concentrated only on being a bride and smile throughout. I focused on my groom and the day went by as easy as a breeze. Everyone, each and everyone who came, appreciated the food so much, that I was overwhelmed, they said it was the Best FOOD they ever had in a wedding in Bangalore. I feel so blessed to have such a great team supporting me and hosting my wedding for me, while I enjoyed my most special day of my entire life. Thank to the whole team, special thanks to, Jahir, Dibas, Noor and Akshay.
