Cocktail parties have become an essential part of Indian wedding ceremonies, and it's no surprise that almost every wedding ceremony ends with a vibrant and colourful cocktail party. This trend has been increasing in the last few years, with more couples opting for a cocktail party as a means of socializing and celebrating before their big day. It provides the perfect blend of a formal and informal setting and allows guests to let their hair down and soak in the festive spirit!

Cocktail parties usually happen a day or two before the wedding and are a great way for the groom and bride's family to mingle, get to know each other and build new relationships. Said parties usually include a grand display of cocktails and mocktails, mouth-watering hors d'oeuvres and delicious finger foods, all served in an opulent setting. The décor can range from elegant to funky, with a particular emphasis on lighting and music to create a lively and upbeat atmosphere. It's not unusual for guests to participate in games, dancing, and other fun activities, all while sipping their favourite cocktail. Given its growing trend, couples have now begun to hire professional photographers and event managers to ensure the settings are aesthetically pleasing, and guests have an unforgettable experience!
