Wedding Planning
– Dec 26, 2025
Planning weddings that resonate through detail, discipline, and design integrity, Satish Ramnani has, over the past decade, built Vedyaa Events into a planning house admired for its clarity of vision and seamless execution. His approach is rooted in thoughtful coordination and a deep respect for the guest experience, where décor, logistics, and cultural nuance come together with quiet confidence. This philosophy has found a natural extension in destination celebrations, particularly in Vietnam, where Satish has planned multiple Indian weddings at the acclaimed Sheraton Grand Danang Beach Resort & Spa.
Set along a pristine stretch of coastline, the resort offers a rare combination of scale, versatility, and operational finesse. With expansive beachfront venues, elegant lawns, a grand ballroom, and a room inventory well-suited for multi-day celebrations, the Sheraton Grand Danang stands out not just for its setting but for its intuitive understanding of Indian wedding sensibilities. Its experienced hospitality team, fluent communication, and proactive, solution-driven approach have made it a trusted partner in delivering celebrations that feel immersive, well-paced, and effortlessly orchestrated.
In conversation with Parthip Thyagarajan, Satish shares insights into his planning ethos, his experiences working in Vietnam, and what makes this resort, in particular, a compelling canvas for Indian destination weddings.
Parthip: What, in your opinion, makes Sheraton Grand Danang Beach Resort & Spa stand out from other wedding venues in Vietnam?
Satish: Da Nang itself is a remarkable destination. It is a pristine beach town with an uninterrupted coastline, home to a strong cluster of international hotel brands, excellent infrastructure, and a tourism authority that is both proactive and supportive. Within this landscape, the Sheraton Grand Danang Beach Resort & Spa truly stands out.
From a planner’s perspective, it offers the right balance across every parameter. The room inventory is ideal for Indian destination weddings, the venues are well-scaled and versatile, and the ballroom, lawns, and beachfront spaces allow for seamless event flow across multiple days. Add to that a strong portfolio of restaurants and the backing of an international hospitality brand that understands Indian weddings and guest expectations. Language and communication are often a challenge in overseas destinations, but that was never a concern here. The team communicates fluently, understands our requirements instinctively, and works with a flexibility that planners value immensely. Their eagerness to grow the Indian wedding market is reflected in how forthcoming and supportive they are at every step. It’s no surprise that we’ve successfully planned three weddings at this property and continue to return with confidence.
Parthip: If you had to pitch Sheraton Grand Danang Beach Resort & Spa to Indian couples planning a destination wedding in Vietnam, what would you say?
Satish: It is a beautifully planned luxury resort that ticks all the right boxes for an Indian destination wedding. With 258 rooms, it comfortably accommodates guests while maintaining exclusivity. The 14,000-square-foot ballroom is ideal for grand indoor celebrations, while the expansive 20,000-square-foot lawn allows for large outdoor functions. The pristine white beach, infinity pool, and multiple restaurants connected to both the beach and poolside create endless possibilities for varied event settings. From a venue, amenities, and hospitality standpoint, it is a well-rounded five-star property and among the finest wedding hotels in Da Nang.
Parthip: Could you share how you’ve incorporated local Vietnamese elements into the weddings you’ve planned at the resort?
Satish: For us, every wedding begins with the couple’s story. Their lifestyle, preferences, and vision guide how we design each celebration. Even within the same venue, the thematic interpretation can be entirely different. Aesthetically, I prefer keeping the design refined and allowing cultural elements to shine through organically.
Vietnam has a rich heritage of handicrafts and artisanal work, and we collaborate closely with local artisans to bring that flavour into the wedding narrative. One memorable example was an opening lunch inspired by the UNESCO-recognised town of Hoi An. We recreated a mini Hoi An within the resort, complete with street-style kiosks, local vendors, handcrafted décor elements, and curated giveaways. The setting transitioned from a relaxed daytime lunch into a sundowner, and as evening set in, the warm lights mirrored the charm the town is known for. These thoughtful inclusions allow guests to experience Vietnam beyond the venue walls.
Parthip: As a planner, one always needs a Plan B. Have you faced any such challenges in Vietnam, and how did you manage them?
Satish: Absolutely. During Tuisha and Gaurav’s wedding, we experienced continuous rainfall for nearly 17 hours on the wedding day. The mandap and varmala setup were completely compromised. This is where the strength of the hotel partnership truly came through. The Sheraton Grand team responded immediately. They suggested alternative options and worked alongside us without hesitation. We transformed the hotel’s three-level lobby into the varmala venue, utilising the grand staircase as the focal point. Guests were positioned across different balcony levels, creating an incredible visual and photographic moment.
What made it remarkable was the speed and coordination. Everything was reimagined and executed within 45 minutes. The Sheraton Grand Danang Beach Resort & Spa team, including the General Manager, was fully involved and exceptionally supportive. It turned a challenging situation into one of the most memorable moments of the wedding.
