About Destination Wedding Planning
How We Bring Fairytales to Life
Weddings are personal for us. Every couple has their own story, and I love helping them bring it to life in a way that feels just right. My favourite part? Watching an idea turn into a real moment, from the chaos of planning to that calm "we did it" after the last dance.
Where We Work Our Magic
I mostly plan destination weddings in South India - think lush hills in Karnataka, sunsets in Goa, and quiet lakes in Kerala. If you want a lake view wedding ceremony or a breezy beach setup, I’ll find the place that fits your vibe, even if it’s a hidden spot most folks don’t know about.
Planning That Feels Like Family
Planning from far away can be a headache, but I’m used to working with couples who aren’t local. I handle everything - mood boards for your Haldi, scouting South India wedding venues, figuring out logistics with vendors, the whole deal. You just focus on the fun bits.
Little Details, Big Memories
Love throwing in surprises - a royal baraat for the bride, a baraat with a vintage car for the groom, or building a stage right in the middle of an infinity pool. Custom wedding themes are my jam, whether it’s something grand or just a personal touch that means a lot to you.
Your ideas matter. I’ll listen, suggest things that work, and together, we’ll design something that feels like you.

My Story
Hey, we’re Blissful Beginnings. Honestly, we get all mushy about love stories – can’t help it! Planning weddings feels less like work, more like hanging with friends and making magic. Like that time we did a Bangalore wedding for an Irish couple, all remote – felt like we were right there. We love wild ideas, like bride’s baraat with a royal carriage. Seeing folks light up – that’s why we do this.
