IHG Hotels & Resorts’ select venues across brands including InterContinental, Crowne Plaza and Holiday Inn hotels in India, Nepal and Bangladesh have been adapted to create bespoke experiences, making them a perfect match for couples looking to host intimate and beautiful wedding events.

Elaborate events have long been a cornerstone of the wedding industry in India. Guests and wedding planners alike have worked hard to up the wow factor with extravagant decorations, sumptuous menus and long guest lists. Under the current circumstances and with health and safety in mind, guests have been taking a less traditional approach. Families and couples are now looking at organising more intimate weddings and special occasions in accordance with the local government guidelines.

IHG Hotels & Resorts select venues across brands including InterContinental, Crowne Plaza and Holiday Inn hotels in India, Nepal and Bangladesh have been adapted to create bespoke experiences, making them a perfect match for couples looking to host intimate and beautiful wedding events. IHG’s team of professional event specialists have customised their venues and services to cater to smaller yet glamorous or one-of-a-kind events with a relentless focus on health and safety.

IHG Hotels & Resorts has put together a special offer available from March 1 until April 30, 2021, for weddings from May 1, 2021. These special offers include guaranteed room upgrade to suite, 50,000 IHG Rewards points for the first 100 confirmed weddings - equivalent to one night at InterContinental, three nights at Crowne Plaza, four nights at Holiday Inn, five nights at Holiday Inn Express across the globe. These offers further include up to a five percent rebate towards total bill, two night stay voucher for two people, one kg bridal cake with hotel’s compliments, 10 per cent off in-room dining/laundry services. 

With smaller weddings, guests who want to include larger number of people in their special occasions are finding alternate and innovative solutions to do so. Splitting the invitee list based on the type of ceremony is a popular option - many guests are choosing to invite younger family members or friends for pre-wedding celebrations and the elders for the main wedding event, while others are hosting ‘virtual weddings’, live streaming the ceremony for families and friends based in different parts of the country, and the globe.

IHG has enhanced the experience for its hotel guests, by redefining cleanliness and supporting guests’ personal wellbeing throughout their event and stay at the hotel. Using new, scientific protocols and service measures, partnering with industry leading experts Cleveland Clinic, Ecolab and Diversey, and launching a global IHG Clean Promise, these strengthened measures are giving guests greater confidence and hotel teams the protection needed.

For all social events, teams across IHG hotels ensure that every touch point is sanitised and proper hygiene is maintained across all operations, throughout the event. Hotels are using technology where it can make a difference. This includes deploying enhanced, highly visible and more frequent cleaning measures, and applying new standards and service approach to food and beverages as well.
