Đà Nẵng – A rising star in destination weddings

Beyond being a top-tier tourist hotspot, Đà Nẵng has emerged as an ideal location for destination weddings. According to the Đà Nẵng Tourism Department, in 2024 alone, the city hosted 45 domestic and international wedding events, attracting more than 4,600 attendees. Notably, among these were four lavish weddings for Indian couples, drawing over 1,200 guests.

This momentum carried into 2025 as Đà Nẵng and Hội An hosted an opulent Indian wedding between bride Aayush and groom Jhanvi from January 15–19. The couple cited Đà Nẵng's stunning landscapes, Hội An’s rich cultural heritage, and world-class hospitality services as key factors in their choice of venue. Their grand celebration underscores the enormous potential of Việt Nam’s wedding tourism industry, setting an optimistic tone for the year ahead.

A cultural and culinary extravaganza

Like many Indian weddings held abroad, this event was a vibrant showcase of tradition, featuring intricate rituals and elaborate celebrations. Cuisine played a pivotal role in enhancing the guest experience, with an exquisite menu crafted by skilled Indian chefs. By collaborating with Benaras, one of Việt Nam's finest Indian restaurants, the culinary team ensured that every dish retained its authentic flavours, offering guests a true taste of home.

A milestone for Việt Nam’s destination wedding industry

The success of this wedding highlights Việt Nam’s growing appeal as a destination for luxury Indian weddings. With an estimated revenue of US$1 million generated across various sectors—including hospitality, catering, logistics, tourism, event decoration, and local services—this event stands as a testament to the country’s potential in high-end wedding tourism.

As Đà Nẵng and Hội An continue to attract large-scale wedding celebrations, Việt Nam is solidifying its position as a preferred destination for extravagant Indian weddings, promising a flourishing future for the destination wedding industry./.
