Glitz, Glam, and Shaadi Goals: Celebs Turn Up the Sparkle at IBWM 2025 in Mumbai

On October 5, 2025, the Jio World Convention Centre in Mumbai’s Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC) transformed into a celebration of all things shaadi-worthy as the India’s Best Wedding Makers (IBWM) 2025 Conclave brought together the crème de la crème of the wedding and entertainment industries. From A-listers to wedding industry powerhouses, the event was a full-on sparkle fest — and yes, it had more glamour than most actual weddings.

Varun Dhawan was in full dapper mode as he took the stage to present the India’s Best Wedding Makers honors, celebrating the finest talents behind the big, fat Indian weddings — think decor geniuses, couture creators, and those who make destination dreams come true. Varun, who’s no stranger to cinematic weddings himself, looked right at home handing out accolades to the real-life maestros behind the magic.

Neha Dhupia added serious elegance to the evening as she unveiled the much-anticipated fifth edition of The Great Indian Wedding Book — the ultimate annual bible of Indian wedding trends, ideas, and industry insights. Think of it as Vogue meets shaadi planning — with a desi twist. Meanwhile, Esha Gupta added more star power as she joined in honoring the night’s big winners, stunning onlookers as always.

Also in attendance? A dazzling guest list of celebrities, wedding planners, fashion insiders, and luxury brand leaders who mingled over cocktails and conversations about bridal couture, destination trends, and what’s next in the billion-dollar Indian wedding industry. If The Great Indian Wedding Book is any indication, 2026’s wedding season is going to be even more lavish — and IBWM just made sure it starts in style.
