Stay & Travel

Fly into Kempegowda International Airport (BLR) in Bangalore. We advise all guests to join us in Bangalore minimum two days before the wedding. This will give you the time to adjust (at least a bit) to the timezone and provide the opportunity for shopping Indian wedding attire if you'd like!
 

The wedding will be taking place at Golden Amoon Resort. You will be able to book your room for the 3 days of the wedding via us, we will reach out to you about this after the RSVP deadline has passed.
 

Recommended hotels to stay before/after the wedding: we have sent you an e-mail!
