The Fern Hotels & Resorts Offers Eco-Friendly “Green Weddings”

In an effort to spread the environment-friendly message to the next level and involve the community at large, The Fern Hotels & Resorts, India’s leading environmentally sensitive hotel chain has introduced the concept of Green Weddings. These eco-friendly weddings encourage wedding couples to solemnize their nuptial ceremonies by ensuring minimal harm to the surroundings.

Says Noshir A Marfatia, Senior Vice President - Sales & Marketing, “We all know Indians love celebrating marriages. There is a tremendous amount of waste that happens during this time. However, there is a sizable number of people who want to prevent wastage without compromising on anything.”Elaborating further on the concept, he adds, “The idea is that luxury should not be compromised at any cost, but the damage to the environment should be prevented.”

 There is a whole list of guidelines that have been prepared. Some of the highlights of the Green Wedding are eco-friendly invitations, an eco-friendly venue, reusable décor, outdoor marriage functions, no cut flowers for decoration, no food wastage, zero plastic use, utilizing local vendors, etc to name a few.

There is a huge eco-wedding market that has not been properly tapped, and since we are an environmentally sensitive hotel chain, it is only natural for us to move in this space, Noshir points out.
