Blog Esha + Prashant, Banyan Tree Mayakoba Wedding
A Stylish and Heartfelt Indian Destination Wedding at Banyan Tree Mayakoba
Esha & Prashant’s destination wedding at Banyan Tree Mayakoba was a four-day celebration of love, culture, and unforgettable memories. After visiting over 15 resorts, they instantly knew Banyan Tree was “the one,” its peaceful magic setting the perfect stage for 250 guests traveling from around the world.
With the vision and guidance of planner Xanath Bañuelos, every detail was a balance of tradition, emotion, and modern flair. The festivities began with a beachside welcome dinner lit by fireworks and fire dancers, followed by a joyful pastel Haldi ceremony, coconuts stamped with their dog’s face, and a Mehendi-Sangeet bursting with color, dance, and handmade details.
The wedding ceremony felt like a dream—soft florals, a mirrored aisle reflecting the sea, and heartfelt traditions shared over banana leaf meals. Esha stunned in Sabyasachi while Prashant wore Diwan Saheb. Their reception dazzled with aerialists, a chamber orchestra, and a regal Manish Malhotra look for both bride and groom.
Even unexpected mishaps—the car breaking down mid-Baraat, a fake wedding cake—became joyful memories. Most meaningful of all: moving the wedding up so Esha’s grandparents could attend, a choice that gave the celebration its true heart.
