I get that it can all feel a bit much - juggling travel, family, and the tiniest details far from home. That’s why I start with listening. Over chai or coffee, I want to hear your story, what your families dream of, and the vibe you want. It’s about your vision, not mine. ### Where We Go My heart beats a little faster for weddings in Sri Lanka, Bali, and Thailand. These are my specialty - I know the local scene and have friends in all the right places. Europe? Love it. I’ve got experience there too, and I’m always up for discovering new exotic wedding destinations with you. ### How I Make It Happen - Venue hunting, from hidden beaches to stately estates - Sorting out tricky travel plans and making sure your guests have a seamless experience, right from the airport - Decor that’s you - be it a wild Pinterest dream or a simple idea for a multicultural wedding ceremony (like the oonjal) - I handle all the vendors. You won’t be stuck on calls with ten different people. And yes, I usually throw in a DJ night for fun ### Just Show Up and Celebrate I want you to just enjoy your shaadi. My team and I are in the background, making sure everything just flows. No fuss. You celebrate, I’ll handle the rest. Awesome matlab awesome! ## Highlights Browse through Weddings by Sharmilla Shah's best work. ### [Featured](https://mytribe.in/weddingsbysharmillashah/destination-wedding-planning/featured) - [Video: This is the dream we create.
