Jasmin and Hiren celebrate their wedding at The Ritz-Carlton, Naples

Childhood nostalgia and love for travel meet, and the result is a wedding that feels both deeply personal and timeless. For Jasmin and Hiren, Naples was more than just a destination—it was a chapter of her family history, a place of Sunday traditions, and the perfect canvas for their intimate yet grand celebration. The newly renovated Ritz-Carlton in Naples, with its turquoise waters and swaying palms, became the setting for a three-day wedding that blended cultural rituals with understated luxury.

The celebrations began on June 12, 2025, with a coastal-inspired welcome dinner at The Ritz-Carlton, Naples. Guests were welcomed with live music, warm hospitality, and a setting that reflected the couple’s shared passions for food, travel, and family.

The following morning, the rituals began with a Grah Shanti ceremony, blessing the wedding with auspicious beginnings. The Haldi that followed carried all the vibrance of tradition and laughter. Turmeric and petals turned the poolside into a scene of pure joy. Later that evening, the Sangeet set the tone for celebration. Under bold florals and moody lighting, family and friends filled the stage with heartfelt performances before the dance floor opened up for a night of non-stop revelry.

The wedding day on June 14 unfolded under a lush floral mandap, where the ocean breeze and swaying palms framed the vows. Jasmin and Hiren chose personal promises over spectacle, making the ceremony feel both intimate and moving. For the reception, the couple opted for a modern, editorial aesthetic—soft lighting, metallic accents, and a chic black-and-white theme created a contemporary yet elegant finale to the celebrations.

The wedding carried many unique details. Jasmin wore the first lehenga she tried in Mumbai, an instant connection that felt just right. The couple curated multi-sensory experiences for their guests, from live violin and dhol to coastal-inspired rituals, weaving intention and intimacy into every moment. Most significantly, their wedding became the very first Indian wedding hosted at the newly renovated The Ritz-Carlton, Naples—a milestone that reflected both history and new beginnings.

For Jasmin and Hiren, the wedding was more than a union—it was a reflection of their journey, their values, and their vision of love as something both grounding and joyous. By combining tradition with contemporary design and intimacy with pomp, they created a celebration that felt personal at every step.

Their Naples wedding wasn’t just about the destination; it was about reclaiming memories, making new ones, and setting the tone for a life together built on intention, connection, and love.
