Nadia & Arif

The story

Nadia and Arif both work overseas — Nadia in Singapore, Arif in Dubai. They flew home for a compact 2-day wedding at Le Meridien Dhaka. The hotel's airport-adjacent location was the deciding factor: 30+ international guests could land, check in, and walk to the ceremony.

They kept the guest list under 300 and skipped the Reception, opting instead for an intimate family dinner at the hotel restaurant the day after Akdh. Total budget came in at Tk 7.5 lakh — far below the Dhaka mid-class average for a venue of this tier.

"Skipping the Reception saved Tk 5 lakh. Family understood — they wanted to spend the day with us, not with 600 guests."
