A WEDDING AT CHAPTER

THE SETTING

The clouds and a city that goes pink in November.

Five thousand square feet of lawn, twenty minutes above the rock capital of the country. Someone will be hanging lights at 17:40. By 22:40 it's a dance floor.

A resort built around a pool set in paddy fields, with the clouds for company. The lawn takes the ceremony by day and the party by night. Cassette Kitchen & Bar takes the reception and keeps going — the bar stops asking what time it is.

NOVEMBER

If the date is flexible, make it November. The whole city goes pink with cherry blossoms; a handful of places on earth do this. A wedding under it is the photograph everyone will keep. Book the month a year out; you won't be the only ones who want it.

THE FORMAT

Take the whole resort. Every room, every guest yours. Three generations sorted by who wants quiet (from 01:00, everyone gets it) and who wants the bar. Dogs get the run of the lawn; children get hot chocolate at altitude; in-laws get the best view in the house.

THE FOOD AND THE MUSIC

Cassette cooks it, vegetarian and non-vegetarian throughout, built around your functions. The music is the point at Upper Shillong — Shillong is the rock capital of the country and we act accordingly. Bring your band, or use ours.

GETTING THE FAMILY THERE

Guwahati, three hours through tea country; or Shillong airport direct from Kolkata and Delhi, then ninety minutes. We'll arrange the cars.
