The wedding took place on July 12 in the presence of global celebrities, industrialists, cricketers, film stars and politicians. The celebrations continued on July 13 with a blessing ceremony called Shubh Ashirwad, which was graced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the special occasion. A reception called Mangal Utsav was held on July 14, which was attended by many guests.
It is learnt that entry to the venue was managed through QR codes sent to individual phones and colour-coded wristbands indicating entry to different zones. In addition, a multi-layered security system, detailed emergency plans and medical response preparations involving visiting heads of states were also in place.
In addition, three types of invitations were distributed, with the most distinctive invitation consisting of intricate silver boxes containing a small silver shrine.
About Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant’s wedding invitation
The invitations had separate cards for each wedding function, one of which was made of silver and resembled the main gate of an ancient temple. It also had several souvenirs like an embroidered cloth with the initials of Ananth and Radhika, a blue shawl and a silver box filled with other gifts.
The simplest invitation was in a laptop-sized box containing silver idols of three deities and invitation cards. Guests were asked to confirm their presence via email or Google Form.
Those who confirmed their attendance received a message that read: “We have received your RSVP, and we look forward to welcoming you… QR codes will be shared 6 hours prior to the event.”
Entry to the venue was done by scanning QR codes sent on mobile phones and emails, and different coloured paper wristbands were tied to the wrists of all guests, allowing entry to different areas based on colour.

In addition, detailed fire and other rescue plans were prepared, including medical response preparations prescribed for state heads. The medical response preparations included doctors and paramedical staff with all emergency equipment at the venue. Ambulances had clearly defined routes to the nearest hospitals, which were prepared in advance to deal with any kind of medical emergency.
According to a PTI report, this time the time between sending the QR codes and the actual event was reduced. This was done keeping in mind the fact that at the last Ambani wedding, people had sold “access” to non-invitees.
It is noteworthy that many film stars and cricketers as well as industrialists wore pink wristbands on their wedding day and red wristbands on Saturday. At the same time, employees, security and service staff wore different colored wristbands.
The sprawling venue was secured with barricades and a multi-layered security ring, two sources familiar with the matter said.
