Malvika & Avi | Luxury Indian wedding at Chateau Elan

January 24, 2026

Avi and Malvika’s four-day Hindu wedding at Château Élan Winery & Resort brought together 400 of their closest friends and family for a celebration that felt both vibrant and deeply personal. Set just outside of Atlanta, the venue’s open grounds and classic architecture created a beautiful backdrop for a full South Asian wedding weekend — from mehndi through reception.

The festivities began with mehndi, where Malvika’s intricate henna designs set the tone for the days ahead. Haldi followed with laughter, turmeric-covered smiles, and meaningful family moments. The sangeet brought everyone together on the dance floor, with choreographed performances and nonstop energy that carried late into the night.

On the wedding day, Avi’s baraat made its way in with live dhol, drawing guests outside and building excitement before the ceremony began. The Hindu ceremony was thoughtful and tradition-rich, centered around a stunning mandap and surrounded by the people who matter most to them. December light gave us the chance to create warm, natural portraits around the property before everyone transitioned into an elegant reception space filled with layered florals and intentional design details. Emotional speeches and an energetic dance floor closed out the weekend in the best way.

For couples planning a South Asian wedding in the Atlanta area or anywhere in the Southeast, Avi and Malvika’s celebration is a great example of how meaningful traditions and modern production can come together seamlessly over multiple days.
