NEW DELHI: After a long wait, the Waste-to-Wonder Park will allow pre-wedding shoots from Monday (when the place is closed for tourists) besides birth celebrations, brand shoots, etc.
However, to catch a bigger audience, South Delhi Municipal Corporation (SDMC) is coming up with a concept of post-wedding shoots too, wherein people can come to celebrate occasions such as 25 or 50 years of their wedding, with their family members, and get them clicked with the miniatures.
The civic agency is planning to give a 50% discount to people availing of the facility.
“Going for a pre-wedding shoot is quite a trend in the city and people prefer picturesque parks/tourist places for the purpose. But we will give them an option to use it even for post-wedding shoots and make the occasion special by taking memorable photographs with their spouses as well as other family members,” said a senior official.
“Since the place has replicas of wonders of the world, they have ample options to get different frames and backgrounds during four hours of permissible time. And for us also, it would increase the source of income as more and more people can avail the facility,” said an official.
As of now, for a pre-wedding shoot, Rs 26,000 has to be paid out of which Rs 10,000 is refundable security amount and Rs 15,000 is the booking charges (excluding GST). And Rs 1,000 is charged for sanitation purposes.
Spread across seven acres and located near Sarai Kale Khan ISBT, the park has replicas of Leaning Tower of Pisa, Eiffel Tower, Pyramids of Giza, Taj Mahal, Statue of Liberty, Colosseum and Christ the Redeemer — all made out of waste.
Opened in February 2019, the park has become a popular tourist spot. The entry fee for the park is Rs 50 on normal days and Rs 100 on Sundays.
