A Fairytale Wedding Destination – Primrose Villas, Chikmanglur
Dreaming of a romantic destination wedding in an exotic location? Imagine getting married on a 122 year old coffee estate that sits on the slope of a mountain with unobstructed views of their 700 acres of plantations and beyond.
We went to Primrose Villas for a break after a particularly busy wedding season. Once there we realized the thought process and effort owners Ravi and Sumitra Ramu have put into furnishing the place to make it the perfect wedding venue. A beautiful antique wooden mandap, two sets of interconnected suites for the bride and the groom’s family, red sandstone flooring, brass artifacts and Victorian furniture adds a perfect rustic and earthy feel to your once in a life time celebrations. We were excited. We seemed to have stumbled upon a dream wedding venue.
The lobby, where the main wedding can take place looks like a work of art yet it is very welcoming and modern. Surrounded by lush coffee plantations and lulled by the mountain breezes, you will enjoy luxurious facilities, and have the opportunity to hold your ceremony in a glass walled room with a view of the mountains and valleys on all 3 sides.
Treat your guests to some of the most beautiful lodging with spacious villa’s that boast twenty foot high ceilings, entire walls of glass allowing the inside to blend with the outside and a fire place that completes the luxurious and romantic ambiance. The villa’s are so beautiful that we are sure you will want to stay longer and soak in the calm and peaceful ambiance as you recollect the beautiful memories from the hectic wedding celebrations.
For a lot of wedding guests, the most memorable part of the wedding is the food. At Primrose Villas your options don’t have to be limited to the standard buffet. Experience the excellent cuisine by world class chefs who can create a traditional feast that will make Indian relatives swoon and with the same ease these chefs will delight your guests with inventive dishes that will be discussed long after the wedding is over.
If you’re planning a destination wedding and want to treat your guests to spectacular views as well as some fun activities then Primrose Villas will spoil you with choices. Trek on at least eight different routes, bathe in cold-water springs that run through the estate, pick coffee, enjoy outdoor barbeques with bonfires. The culturally inclined can explore the wonderful temples of Belur and Halebidu and those who prefer to stick to nature can go on a safari at the Bhadra Tiger Reserve and then there is a beautiful golf course in the foothills of Chickmanglur for the golf lovers.
