Wedding-themed parties are gaining popularity among young Indians seeking new experiences.

Fake weddings attract Gen Z in India

Fake weddings, lively and extravagant parties without any marriage, are drawing young crowds in Indian cities. These events offer all the joy and celebration of traditional weddings but with none of the emotional pressure. Organized by clubs and hotels, they’ve started to appear in major urban centers like Delhi, Mumbai, and Bengaluru. Recently, a fake sangeet event in Delhi showcased the trend, filled with music, dance, and festive attire. Attendees like Shivangi Sareen expressed their delight, describing the experience as "amazing" and fun.

Young people today seek enjoyment and connection without the burdens of real-life commitments. As they navigate social pressures and a fast-paced lifestyle, these curated experiences allow them to engage in celebration without long-standing expectations.
