Chelcie & Arjun’s Two-Day Celebration at Gleneagles Hotel: A Wedding in Scotland to Remember
In a world where many weddings blend tradition with modern flair, few achieve that harmony as beautifully as Chelcie and Arjun’s unforgettable celebration. As a wedding videographer in Scotland, I’ve witnessed many incredible events, but this destination wedding at Gleneagles Hotel was truly one-of-a-kind.
Flying in from Los Angeles, Chelcie and Arjun dreamed of a romantic, luxurious wedding immersed in the natural beauty and charm of the Scottish countryside. They chose to celebrate their union at the renowned Gleneagles Hotel, a location known for its five-star elegance, rolling green hills, and storybook charm. The result? A breathtaking two-day event that merged cultural traditions with stylish modern elements — and created memories that will last a lifetime.
The Charm of Gleneagles Hotel
Set in the heart of Perthshire, Gleneagles Hotel is one of Scotland’s most iconic venues. With its grand architecture, tranquil gardens, and sweeping landscapes, it’s a dream setting for any destination wedding in Scotland. From the first moment guests arrived, the hotel’s elegance set the tone for a weekend filled with love, celebration, and heartfelt connections.
Gleneagles isn’t just a venue — it’s an experience. From its golf courses and fine dining to the serene spa and countryside charm, it’s the perfect retreat for couples looking to host a wedding that feels both opulent and personal. Chelcie and Arjun made full use of the estate’s beauty, hosting different elements of their wedding across the venue’s stunning indoor and outdoor spaces.
Day One: A Vibrant Indian Wedding
The first day was dedicated to a traditional Hindu ceremony — a vibrant and emotional experience that paid homage to Arjun’s cultural roots. Set outdoors under a beautifully adorned mandap, surrounded by lush greenery and floral designs by Wild Flowers Edinburgh, the ceremony brought color, music, and deep meaning to the celebration.
Chelcie looked stunning in a traditional lehenga, richly embroidered and paired with intricate gold jewelry. Arjun wore a traditional sherwani, and together they took part in timeless rituals that symbolized their bond and commitment. As a destination wedding videographer, capturing the beauty and rhythm of Indian ceremonies is always a visual delight — the colors, the movement, the expressions, and the energy are simply unmatched.
Music and dance were an integral part of the day. From classical Indian melodies to spontaneous dhol beats and group dancing, the celebration was alive with joyful energy. The couple’s loved ones, many of whom had traveled from around the world, came together to honor this powerful cultural experience with genuine warmth and happiness.
Day Two: A Contemporary Scottish Affair
The second day was all about modern elegance. Chelcie changed into a sleek white gown, and Arjun wore a tailored suit — both perfectly suited for a stylish, contemporary celebration. The ceremony took place indoors, with soft lighting and tasteful decor creating a romantic and timeless vibe.
The couple exchanged personal vows — a moment that stood out for its raw emotion and deep sincerity. Every word felt meaningful, every glance full of history and promise. These are the moments that make filming weddings so special: authentic love on display, in a setting as grand as it is intimate.
The reception was equally breathtaking. With marquee tents provided by @arc_marquees, expertly planned by Lindsay Landman Events, and featuring music, dancing, and gourmet dining, the night was a true celebration. Guests danced under fairy lights, toasted with champagne, and enjoyed the fusion of Indian and Western cultures — all wrapped in the luxury of the Scottish highlands.
