The covid-19 lockdown has thrown wedding plans in disarray in coastal Karnataka like all other activities involving a crowd of people. While many people chose to postpone the scheduled and about to be scheduled weddings, some are going ahead with scheduled plans and holding weddings with no more than 50 guests as per the guidelines issued by the government of Karnataka.
The government may relax the norms and allow participation of more guests in the future. However, holding wedding ceremonies will be a new challenge when people are returning to a ‘new normalcy.’ Compared to the traditional wedding ceremonies of the region, marriages in the time of Covid-19 are expected to be smaller as the organizers have to adhere to the safety protocol and safe distancing norms. Given this situation, to limit risks and ensure safety, families now will have to consider wedding planners to help them celebrate their weddings.
“The postponed weddings will take place in the coming days as the lockdown is being relaxed in a phased manner. However, it won’t be like our traditional weddings. There won’t be 3000 guests. Government directives will be have followed. We expect change in trend from big fat weddings to a small, close family, picture perfect weddings,” says Sartaj Beary, Managing Partner, Zawaj Weddings and Events.
“Our curetted packages will take care of wedding invitations, outdoor venue, premium catering, bridal make up, mehendi function, photography, videography, décor, thermal scanning systems, hand sanitizers and N 95 masks etc. We hope with our experiences we can offer stress free celebration to the families while we plan everything from scratch as per client requirement,” he assures.
“Ultimately, our society has to adopt an innovative way of marriage. At this point, we can say that any wedding in 2020 will look different as the novel coronavirus has disrupted the weddings everywhere. We know it is a big milestone for families and we at Zawaj are here to assure families that we can help a stress free wedding,” he adds.
New Normal Era Weddings
In the ‘new normal era’, weddings across the world will be totally different from what we used to see before the pandemic. People need to be cautious while attending mass gathering and it is important. Gone are the days of closed AC venues. Outdoor weddings will be the future, where seating are spread out and space between tables, stage, food counters will be maximum as per safe distancing protocols.
Wedding planners and caterers will have to ensure systematic safety protocol, safe and responsible operations, preparation of the food, event crew and vendors safe zone, sanitized kitchen, transportations. Even buffet settings will change to include smaller but multiple cuisines, self serving stations, markings on line to maintaining safe distance at the food counters.
More importantly, venue has to be prepared as per the government instructions. Things like disinfection and sanitization, hygiene, ample toilet facilities, hand wash, thermometer scans, masks, sanitizing stations should be taken care of. People from all walks of life will embrace this form of marriage. The services of wedding planners will be most opted in future.

2 Decade back I visited Haji ali Darga just to see what is going on. There is a Masjid in the tiny island adjustacent to Darga. People of all faith are visiting the Darga offer prayers and chadar etc. Most ladies visiting this Darga are prostitutes of Mumbai Redlight Area and aslo I saw they are spreading their hair on the Darga for unknown reason. Its pity to note men also visit the Darga but when the prayer was called hardly there are few people in the Masjid.
Darga or Shabarimala cannot be compared, but visiting Darga is out of Islamic Sharia. There is no speciality in visiting Darga and do not have any importance. Offering prayers at Masjids has more significance.
Whoever puts his trust on other than Allah then he is not believing in one true god.
Our so called Mullas are allowing ladies to visit Darghas whereas they are restricted to Masjid for offering Namaz.
Here Haji Ali Dargha trust refused entry of ladies and the public filed a petition in the court to allow ladies entry in to this Dargha. Our so called Imams of the Masjids should teach the muslim community to offer 5 times regular namaz on priority than visiting dargha.
