An intimate spin on festivity as Lucknow gets its most exclusive Dandiya Night at Carlton Hotel

Swap the sea of endless crowds for an intimate festive soirée. On 11 October, The Carlton Hotel, in association with NBT, will host Marie Claire Le Press presents Dandiya Night, a celebration that stands apart from the city’s usual fare. Entry is reserved for just 100 couples, creating space for everyone to revel comfortably and freely. Every couple also receives special gifts to carry home. So put on your festive best, grab your partner and book your spot before it’s gone.

Food takes centre stage at this Dandiya Night with a menu created by the renowned Chef Raza. From mushroom chicken baos served as starters to curated mains and indulgent desserts, the dining experience feels as refined as the occasion itself.

For those who’ve only watched garba on screens or fumbled with sticks in laughter, a trained troupe will be present to guide couples through the steps. Moreover, the night promises far more than dance. Guests can look forward to stand-up comedy, an ethnic fashion walk, live performances, and engaging games. The idea is to blend cultural festivity with entertainment, giving guests a truly entertaining experience.

With decor by the celebrated MI Tent & Events, every corner of the venue is dressed to impress. Elegant and highly Instagrammable, the setting guarantees perfect backdrops for all those festive reels ideas you had saved. Adding to the experience, Awadh Junction comes on board as the social media partner while Vijay Studio captures the evening through their lens.

Every couple will walk away with a voucher worth ₹5,100 from Aishpra, assured hampers from Marie Claire Le Press, and the chance to shine through prizes for best dressed, best dancer, best couple and more. Marie Claire Le Press, the only salon in Lucknow with a water softener and a world-class ambience set in the city’s most aesthetic location, lends its mark of refinement to the evening. With limited seats, curated entertainment and rewards at every turn, this promises to be Lucknow’s most talked-about soirée of the season.
