In May 2025, Sonya and Rahul gathered 200 guests from across the United States in the heart of the Canadian Rockies for a four-day Hindu wedding celebration at Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge. Set against sweeping alpine vistas – just months after devastating wildfires brought tourism in the region to a standstill – their wedding was both a deeply personal milestone and a conscious reinvestment in a community in recovery.

The first event of the weekend – The Welome Party –  introduced guests to the setting through a playful interpretation of Canadian culture. Denim-inspired fashion, a canoe bar, regional food and beverage and lawn games immediately established a sense of place and relaxed guests into the destination environment. The informal aesthetic encouraged interaction and set a welcoming tone for the weekend ahead.

This destination wedding weekend received an 11-page feature in Rocky Mountain Bride Magazine’s National Volume 11 issue!
