About Destination Wedding Planning
I love making good times happen, especially when it comes to destination weddings. For me, every wedding is a unique story, not just an event in a fancy location. It’s about creating a vibe that actually feels like yours, whether you want the glitz of a palace or a chill, barefoot beach vibe.
From Dream to Reality
I listen to your ideas, wild or subtle, and get things moving from the start. My thing is making sure what you imagine is what actually happens — right down to the flowers, the lighting, and all those small touches. No cookie-cutter templates.
Venues That Match Your Story
Picked your dream spot? I’ve managed weddings everywhere:
- Royal palaces in Rajasthan for those full-on regal feels
- International spots like Bahrain’s beaches or a Moroccan-themed night
- Chic city hotels like Fairmont Mumbai, or sprawling Lonavala resorts
I handle the heavy lifting, so you and your family just enjoy.
Start to Finish, No Hassles
From the first dhol to the last dance, I cover every function: Haldi, Mehendi, Sangeet, Myra, the Varmala, and Reception. Logistics, coordination, all sorted - even if you have guests flying in from everywhere.
Decor That Speaks You
I’m all about personalized wedding themes. Rajasthani carnival? Boho pastels? Full glam with gold everywhere? I design everything - mandap on the beach, floral domes, crazy lighting. It’s your wedding, your story.
Memories Beyond the Basics
I’m here for the moments you’ll remember forever: epic couple entries, varmala with petals and pyros, live painting, gaming zones for kids. It’s these details that turn a wedding into a memory.
