About Brunton Boatyard, Fort Kochi (CGH Earth)
Brunton Boatyard is Fort Kochi's harbour wedding: a heritage hotel built on the old boatyard, 22 sea-facing rooms, a waterfront garden and pier for a ceremony of 120 with the ships passing, and a courtyard under a rain tree for dinner. It is a buyout for an intimate wedding — a Fort Kochi church wedding with the reception on the water is its natural brief.
Panigrahana designs it with restraint: the harbour, the rain tree, lamps, and a production list sized for a heritage courtyard.
