It began with whispers of a grand celebration, shrouded in mystery and opulence. India's wealthiest man, Mukesh Ambani, has once again captured the world's attention by booking the prestigious Stoke Park Hotel in London for two months. This lavish booking is to celebrate his son Anant Ambani's marriage to Radhika Merchant, following their wedding in Mumbai on July 12.
Anant, the youngest son of Mukesh and Nita Ambani, tied the knot with his longtime love, Radhika Merchant, in a ceremony that reportedly cost $500 million. The wedding, held in Mumbai, was a grand affair, but the celebrations are far from over. According to The Sun, the post-wedding festivities are set to continue at the seven-star Stoke Park Hotel in Buckinghamshire, London.
Mukesh Ambani's decision to book the entire hotel till September has caused quite a stir. The historic 300-acre estate, which includes a mansion, golf courses, and tennis courts, was acquired by Ambani's Reliance Industries in 2021 for £57 million. Following renovations, the estate has remained closed to the public but open to the Ambani family, sparking tensions with local council and community members.
Now, to avoid further friction, Mukesh Ambani has booked the hotel exclusively for the wedding festivities. Around 850 golf club members have been asked to avoid the club during this period. The celebrations are expected to attract high-profile guests, including Prince Harry and former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson, as well as Tony and Cherie Blair.
A source revealed to The Sun, "The Ambanis don’t do things by halves and thought nothing of booking the entire venue for two months. The cost is negligible to them. The bride and groom, along with their family, will attend various parties planned between now and September."
Security has been significantly tightened to ensure the safety and privacy of the guests, making this a truly exclusive event. The post-wedding celebrations of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant are set to be as grand and unforgettable as their wedding, leaving everyone eager to see what comes next.
