Riverside Destination Wedding Planner in Kolad
Kolad is Maharashtra's hidden gem — a lush Sahyadri jungle town on the banks of the Kundalika river where white-water rafting, tented jungle resorts, and cascading hillside waterfalls create an entirely unique destination wedding canvas. Just 2.5 hours from Mumbai and 3.5 hours from Pune, Kolad offers couples the rare opportunity to have their pheras on a riverside sand bank, host a Sangeet in a jungle clearing with bioluminescent river banks shimmering in the background, and gift guests a white-water rafting adventure the morning after the reception. Westend Events has developed specialized expertise in Kolad's unique terrain — designing adventure-themed wedding productions that are both logistically flawless and visually extraordinary.

Case Study: 100-Guest Riverside Phera Ceremony at Kundalika
A nature-loving couple from Pune wanted pheras on actual riverside sand — no ballroom, no synthetic decor. Westend Events built a biodegradable bamboo mandap on a permitted Kundalika sandbank, floating 400 flower diyas on the river at dusk. The 100 guests went rafting the morning of the wedding and arrived for pheras as the golden evening light caught the river. It was voted one of India's most beautiful real weddings that year.
"Pheras on the Kundalika sandbank with flower diyas floating on the river — I cannot describe how beautiful that evening was. Westend Events understood exactly what we wanted and executed it with extraordinary sensitivity to nature."
