Weddings
A wedding the size of your actual friends.
An eleven-room property is not a banquet hall, and we would rather say so than have you find out. What it suits is the wedding where everyone knows everyone — the whole party under one set of chinars, nobody shuttled in from a hotel across town, and the river going past the lawn the entire time. We have hosted weddings and functions here before — the photographs on this page are from them, not a rendering.
Harwan puts you minutes from the Mughal gardens and Dal Lake for the photographs, and far enough out of Srinagar that the evening belongs to you. Guests sleep in 7 private cottages and 4 suites — 11 in all, each with its own door rather than a corridor.
The spaces
Where it happens
- The lawns
- Open ground between the cottages and the river, where a ceremony or a long table sits.
- The gazebo
- Covered, and the obvious place for vows or a registrar if the weather turns.
- The fire pit
- Where the evening ends. Lit after dark, and the reason most people stay up.
- The restaurant
- Cooks to order rather than to a buffet, so the menu is yours to decide.
The practicalities
The numbers
- Sleeping
- 22 to 33 guests across 11 cottages and suites
- Catering
- The kitchen is industrial rather than domestic, so the number we can feed is not the constraint — only the number who can sleep here is.
- Wazwan
- The full traditional wazwan, prepared on request
- Exclusive use
- The whole property from ₹1,00,000 per day
- Done before
- Weddings and functions have been held here — the photographs are ours
What we need from you
Every wedding here is quoted on its own, because no two are the same shape. Tell us these and we will come back with what is possible and what it costs:
- Your dates, and how many nights
- How many guests, and how many staying over
- Which functions — and whether any are outdoors
- What you want served, and for how many sittings
- Whether you need the property to yourselves
Ask early. The weeks either side of the autumn colour and the spring blossom go first, and a wedding takes the whole property rather than a room in it.
