About this collection
We do not just book vendors; we build a timeline that accounts for the reality of Indian celebrations. Whether it is managing the entry cues for a grand Sangeet or handling the logistics for a destination wedding in Thailand, we are the shadow team on the ground. We ensure you never have to check your watch or answer a vendor call on your big day.
Our approach is built on the belief that a wedding is a personal journey. We start by listening to your story, not by presenting you with generic packages.
Designing Your Experience
We handle every element from scratch. This includes creating custom decor for everything from a traditional Haldi to a grand Reception. We focus on personal details, like unique signage or theme-specific lighting, that make the space feel like yours.
Planning Beyond Borders
Based in Mumbai, our team travels with you to execute destination weddings. We have managed events across Rajasthan, Goa, Bali, and Thailand. Our logistics team handles the complex tasks that keep you up at night: flight coordination, guest travel, accommodation, and managing local vendors in foreign countries. We act as your bridge to local florists and chefs, ensuring that even abroad, your rituals and food preferences are exactly as you want them.
The Hype Crew Advantage
Swathi and Akshay bring more than just planning to the table. We are also your choreographers, your hype crew, and your personal assistants. We are involved in the high-energy Sangeet practice sessions and the quiet moments before the ceremony. When you hire us, you are not just getting a planning firm; you are getting a team that feels like family, dedicated to making sure you can laugh from the heart throughout your wedding festivities.
Once Upon A Time
Hi, we are Swathi and Akshay. We started Once Upon A Time because we believe in the magic of small details and the joy of a perfect celebration. We are not just your planners; we are the ones dancing with you at the Sangeet and ensuring your family is stress-free so you can truly enjoy your big day.
