About Milestone Event Planning
I plan much more than just weddings - I love being part of milestones that bring families together. Big or small, every celebration deserves the same energy and care.
What I Do
- Single point of contact from start to finish
- Take over the planning stress so you (and your family) can just enjoy
- Handle all details: decor, vendor management, timelines, and those last-minute changes that always pop up
Events I Cover
- Naming ceremonies & baby showers - I go for simple, stylish setups. Like banana leaf backdrops and marigold strings for a proper desi (local/Indian) vibe
- Themed birthday parties - Want something different? I once set up a painting party with easels for each guest. Not your usual balloon-and-cake affair
- Anniversaries & family gatherings - Think custom anniversary event decor: floral arches, neon name signs, even outdoor photo booths
My Way of Working
- Your ideas always come first - whether that’s a Pinterest board or just a few random thoughts
- Full-service family gathering planner - venue, catering, photography, music, everything if you want
What You Can Expect
I work hand-in-hand with your family, no matter how involved you want to be. I’ll be honest - things can get hectic, but I’ve got your back. Like one client said: “Awesome matlab awesome.” That’s the goal, every single time.

My Story
Hey, I’m Sharmilla – wedding planning is my thing, and honestly, I live for it. Most days start with a coffee and a chat, just soaking up what my clients dream for their big day. I get a kick out of working with brides who know what they want, especially the creative ones. Bangalore is home, but my work takes me everywhere – Sri Lanka, Bali, even Thailand. Someone once called me Anushka Sharma from Band Baaja Baaraat, and I’ll take it! I handle everything so families can just celebrate. That’s the magic for me.
