About Cultural & Family Events
Memories Rooted in Tradition
Every family event is a chance to honour your story. We like to keep things real, blending classic South Indian elements with personal touches. Not everything is always flashy or over the top - some families want simple, some want grand, we get both.
How We Bring Your Traditions to Life
- Seemantham (Baby Shower): Lots of jasmine, tuberose, banana leaves - I’m talking proper traditional Seemantham decor with uralis and lamps, nothing plasticky. Feels almost like stepping into a small temple.
- Annaprashan (First Feed): Cane, jute, marigolds, banana leaves. Things look warm, earthy, and calm - no neon colours here. We’ve used decorated ‘muram’ (winnowing fans) for that touch of nostalgia.
- Gruhapravesam (Housewarming): We go all in on South Indian housewarming decorations - marigold strings everywhere, little temple bells, and uralis with flower petals at the entrance. Makes the house feel alive.
- Milestone Birthdays: If you want a rustic village theme birthday party, we’ve done those too - think ‘pettige angadi’ (petty shop) setups, bangle stalls, and a village house backdrop with old-school props.
What To Expect
We handle everything end to end, right from design to the last bit of decor. We’re based in Bangalore and Chennai, but every event is styled to match your family - not just a copy-paste job. Sometimes power cuts or rain can mess up outdoor setups, but we always have a backup plan. If you want something real, rooted, and personal, that’s what we do best.

My Story
We’re The Curators, always chasing that perfect mix of tradition and new vibes. Flowers, laughter, and family—these are our jam. Seen a sangeet where everyone’s just themselves?

We’re here to blend old customs and fresh respect, making your celebration feel like home.
