Welcome to Maharani Weddings

Resham & Arjun's journey from a long-distance relationship to the altar is a tale of love, coordination, and surprises. Their proposal story is straight out of a fairy tale. The extensive planning by Arjun, involving Resham's family, friends, and even her boss, culminated in a magical moment at The Wharf, disguised as a cousin's sweet 16 birthday party. Resham's walk up the pier, with red balloons and flowers creating a dreamlike ambiance, led her to Arjun, a proposal that turned her dreams into reality.

Selecting the bridal attire is a crucial aspect of South Asian weddings. Resham's choice was a testament to her elegant taste. She chose a Rimple & Harpreet design, a perfect amalgamation of traditional and modern styles. The bridal lengha, adorned with red and pink hues and peacock designs, was not just a dress but a symbol of regal elegance, evoking tears of joy from her mother.

The planning process, often daunting, turned into a delightful experience for Resham. The joy for her lay not in the planning itself but in witnessing the realization of her dreams and visions. The vendors' kindness and thoughtfulness, along with the overwhelming love from guests from over 15 cities, made the events a perfect execution of her aspirations.

Halfway down, she danced to 'Sau Aasmaan,' a moment dedicated solely to her and Arjun, symbolizing the beginning of their new journey together. Resham shared special moments with each family member, creating unforgettable memories. Her entrance with her brother on a rickshaw during the Sangeet, the father-daughter dance, and wearing her mother's Sangeet outfit and jewelry were poignant tributes to her family's love and support.

Each element was infused with personal significance, from the meticulously chosen bridal lengha to the joyful Sangeet entrance. Resham's decision to honor her family's legacy, from her mother's jewelry to her dance for Arjun, added depth and emotion to the festivities. The thoughtful inclusion of family in every aspect of the wedding festivities honored their past and set a foundation for their future together.

Resham & Arjun's wedding story is a beautiful reminder of the power of love to cross distances, the importance of family in our lives, and the joy that comes from bringing together tradition and personal touches. Their celebration was more than just a series of events; it was a vivid tapestry of love, culture, and family, beautifully woven to mark the beginning of their new life.

Congratulations Resham & Arjun!

Share the scoop on your Proposal Story!
We spent about 6 months in a long-distance relationship, flying back and forth between the East Coast and the West Coast. Little did I know that while we were always coordinating when to see each other next, Arjun had decided in February 2022 that he wanted to pop the question! Apparently he spent coordinating plans with my parents, brother, and close friends (even my boss at the time was in on it!), and also ensuring that his own family flew in from India for the moment too. While I thought I was going to The Wharf for my cousin’s sweet 16 birthday party, I was actually heading to my own proposal. As I walked up the pier, I realized what was happening as I saw the red balloons, flowers, and everyone gathered around, but all I could feel was giddiness and happiness on the inside as I walked towards Arjun. He took my dream proposal and turned it into the real one: the decor, the location, the people.. It was truly such a perfect moment.

How did you select your bridal lengha or wedding dress? Did you have a favorite color in mind?
I have always admired Rimple & Harpreet’s designs as I feel they are the perfect balance of elegance, tradition, and modernity. So when the time came to plan my own outfits, I always dreamed of wearing a design of theirs. I tried on about 3 different lenghas at the boutique in Delhi; but I knew this was the one the moment I wore it. Not only was it the only one that made my mom tear up when I wore it, but it was also the perfect balance of the traditional and modern look I was hoping for. It had a balance of red and pink hues, and it also incorporated peacocks into the design giving such a regal feel when worn.

What was the most enjoyable part of the planning process, and why?
For me, the best part of the planning wasn’t the planning process itself, but it was watching all my dreams and visions come to life during the events. The vendors that came together to put this weekend into action were so kind and so thoughtful through it all, and I appreciate the effort they put in to make sure the execution was nothing less of perfection.
I also remember feeling so overwhelmed with love as I looked around at all the people who had come together from over 15 different cities around the world to celebrate our love and union.

Was there a really special moment in your wedding that constantly replays in your mind?
For me, the entire wedding flew by in a second. Some moments from the wedding felt so surreal as if I had lived them in a dream. But, there is one moment I remember so clearly, and I think I will remember that moment forever. I knew when I walked down the aisle I wanted to honor my relationship with my father, but also give a moment to cherish my husband to be and the journey I was about to embark on with him. Only my parents, my wedding planner, and the photographer knew about the surprise I had planned for my husband. I walked halfway down the aisle with my dad, and then as I walked down the second half towards the mandap, I danced to Sau Aasmaan for my husband. In that moment, nothing else mattered, and it really truly was just me, him, and our love,

Anything else you want to tell us? We'd love to hear all about your other details! (jewelry, mehndi, venue, cake, bouquets, etc.)
To me, my wedding was truly about cherishing and showcasing the bond I have with my parents and younger brother, as well as honoring the bond that I was building with my husband. I made it a point to have one special moment with each of them throughout the weekend. My Sangeet entrance was with my brother; he drove me into the ballroom on a rickshaw as everyone cheered us on. I was able to walk down the aisle with my father and also do a father daughter dance with him at the reception. For my husband, I danced down the aisle for him and also performed a solo performance to emote my feelings of love for him. To cherish my bond with my mom, I took the outfit and jewelry she wore to her own Sangeet and wore them all to my own Sangeet 25 years later.

In the bustling heart of New York City's Lower East Side, a chance encounter at 212 Hisae's bar set the stage for a beautiful love story. Sreshta, fresh from a medical school interview, sought a night of dancing to unwind. Meanwhile, Niketh, amidst his demanding third year of medical studies, had a similar idea. Little did they know their paths were about to cross in a way that would change their lives forever. As Sreshta stepped into the lively bar atmosphere, her eyes met Niketh's, sparking an instant connection.

One date was enough for Sreshta to realize Niketh was "the one." It marked the end of her search for love, as she found her perfect match in him. The proposal was a tale straight out of a romantic novel. Sreshta had always dreamt of being proposed to in a red dress. Attentive to her dreams, Niketh orchestrated a series of dates, each requiring Sreshta to wear a different red dress he had thoughtfully purchased. The third date, set against Washington Square Park's Christmas tree backdrop during the holiday season, unfolded the surprise proposal.

The wedding planning journey was a collaborative effort between Sreshta & Niketh. They chose New Jersey for its large-capacity venues, settling on the stunning Legacy Castle. They wanted something more unique and rustic for the sangeet, leading them to the enchanting Pleasantdale Chateau. They enlisted the help of Chandai Events, a wedding planner recommended by mutual friends.

Sreshta's vision for her wedding attire was clear and color-coordinated. She envisioned herself in red for the ceremony, white for the reception, and green for the sangeet. Sreshta's hair and makeup were carefully chosen from Instagram inspirations, ensuring a unique look for each event with the help of Looks by Jassi.

Sreshta's mehndi, crafted by SamArtHenna, was a beautiful blend of personal motifs and traditional designs. It featured a classical dancer and cups of coffee on Sreshta's arm, symbolizing her interests, while Niketh's arm showcased a Master Chief logo and a basketball, representing his passions. The intricate design on her palms depicted a man spinning his bride, symbolizing their love.

This wedding, a blend of personal touches, thoughtful planning, and cultural richness, was not just a celebration of Sreshta & Niketh's love but a testament to their journey together. From their serendipitous meeting in a New York bar to their enchanting wedding day, their story is a beautiful reminder of the magic of love, fate, and perfect timing.

Congratulations Sreshta & Niketh!

How did you meet your Groom, and when did you know he was "the one"?
We met while out at a bar (212 Hisae's) in the Lower East Side of New York City. I was coming back from my first medical school interview and wanted to go dancing to blow off some steam, while my future groom (Niketh) was in the middle of his grueling third year of medical school, wanting to do the same. My friend and I saw the long entrance line and almost decided to turn away when my friend happened to see a Snapchat of another friend inside that bar. We reached out to that friend who helped us skip the long line and make it in! As I walked into the bar, Niketh and I made eye contact and felt an instant connection. As fate would have it, the very people who got us into the bar happened to be sitting right next to Niketh … and the rest is history. He asked me for my number that night, and we went on our first date 5 days later after texting each other consistent paragraphs daily. After our first date itself, I knew he was "the one" and that I would not be going on a first date ever again.

Share the scoop on your Proposal Story!
I had always envisioned myself wearing a red dress when I got proposed to. So, in the weeks leading up to the proposal, Niketh bought me 5 different red dresses and planned various dates that I would wear these red dresses too - the idea being that I could wear my red dress while still being surprised. I thought this would go on for a while as I recycled these 5 different dresses on various dates, but it ended up being on "date" # 3, where he proposed to me in front of our closest friends and family in Washington Square Park, where we spent the late hours of our first date, in front of the Christmas tree during my favorite time of year (the holiday season)! It was perfect and followed by a party at a space nearby with a larger group of friends & family.

Tell us how you went about planning your wedding, and your overall experience with the Venues, Hair & Makeup, Outfits, Decor Theme, and all of the other important details.
My now-husband, who was incredibly involved, and I started from square one together. We decided we wanted a venue in New Jersey because they had some of the bigger capacities that would allow for our anticipated guest count. Once we found Legacy Castle, we booked it almost immediately, and there was nothing like it! Then, working backward, we wanted a sangeet venue in the area, but one that would be more unique & rustic, not just a banquet space. I stumbled upon Pleasantdale Chateau in a Google Maps search, and as soon as we visited with our family, we knew we had to book it. After we booked our venue, we booked our incredible wedding planner, Chandai Events, after hearing about her through several mutual friends. As for our outfits, I was very much into color coordination and certain color palettes; for some reason, I immediately pictured myself in red for the ceremony, white-ish for the reception, and green for the sangeet. My husband luckily agreed to match all those colors to my satisfaction! I also wanted to wear different types of outfits for each event, so although it took a long time, we ended with a saree for the ceremony, a gown for the reception, and a lehenga for the sangeet. For the hair and makeup, I again wanted different looks for all of the big events, so I spent a lot of months on everyone's favorite Instagram account to find looks that would be suitable for each of the events. I found my makeup artist early on, Looks by Jassi, and also followed her page to see which of her styles I liked the best. Finally, for the decor, my husband and I have different styles - I am more into elegance, and he likes extravagance. I think the decor ended up coming together beautifully to reflect each of our styles. For our sangeet, I came up with the disco theme because I really wanted it to be all about dancing, given my family background in dance. Partyland Sajawat, our decorators, really took it from there and brought elements of neon, disco balls, and other things to bring the theme to life. For the ceremony, we really just focused on having a romantic, classic floral vibe with no theme in particular. We wanted our mandapam to be grand but practical (so everyone could see the rituals!). Lastly, our reception theme came from our decorator; we called it a Celestial Theme. We wanted a navy blue to complement our beige/ivory outfits and just went with ivory florals and gold accents from there.

Was there a really special moment in your wedding that constantly replays in your mind?
I would say the first look with my (now) husband but from the Sangeet. We did a first look before our sangeet & before our ceremony, but the sangeet one replay in my mind the most because it was our first large wedding event, kicking off the wedding weekend, and it just felt so surreal that it was actually happening. It was a beautiful, sunny, surprisingly hot day in April, and I was just trying not to pass out from my heavy lehenga & the heat, but seeing Niketh on the first look just reminded me what it was all about.

Do you have any words of wisdom for Brides-To-Be?
Enjoy the process and time spent wedding planning - being engaged is a time with your groom that will never come back! And wedding planning, though stressful, can engage some of those fun/creative parts of you that you don't always get to use; you can make the wedding as unique as you want and reflective of you and your spouse as individuals and as a partnership.

Anything else you want to tell us? We'd love to hear all about your other details! (jewelry, mehndi, venue, cake, bouquets, etc.)
My mehndi was done by SamArtHenna, who incorporated all the motifs I wanted along with her signature, gorgeous designs. "My" arm had a classical dancer on it with cups of coffee, and my "groom's" arm had a Master Chief logo on it with a basketball - we felt this represented us each best individually. On the palms of my hands, we added a man spinning his bride around that you can see when the palms are together, a symbol that meant a lot to us, too. Ultimately, though, we didn't want it to be all motifs or too modern, and my Mehndi artist was able to make it look not too modern with some traditional, intricate henna detail as well!

Nisha & Arun's story began with a lucky match on a dating app and is a delightful blend of contemporary romance and age-old customs. On their first date in Orlando, where Nisha resided, they saw Arun making a heartfelt journey from over an hour away. What was planned as a brief evening out became five hours of enchanting conversation, laying the foundation for their future together. This moment marked the beginning of a beautiful journey, where distance and time melted away in the face of budding love.

The proposal, a dream-like experience, unfolded on the distant shores of Hawaii. Arun, embracing the spirit of adventure and romance, whisked Nisha away for a breathtaking proposal by the beach. The meticulously planned moment, complete with a professional photographer and the sweet melodies of a ukulele, encapsulated the essence of their love story – unexpected, thrilling, and profoundly moving.

Nisha's choice of wedding attire reflected a harmonious blend of tradition and personal style. While respecting her Nepali roots with a traditional red lehenga, she also embraced her individuality by choosing a design from her favorite Nepali designer, Manish Rai. The reception outfit was a serendipitous discovery, a stunning blue and gold lehenga from Herpret Couture in Connecticut, symbolizing her unique journey of love and discovery.

Their wedding was a lavish affair spread over several days, including the vibrant mehendi, haldi, and sangeet ceremonies, culminating in a grand wedding and reception. What set their celebration apart was the exhilarating after-party. Held on the evening of their wedding, it was a festivity of joy and relaxation, with an open bar, photo booth, and a DJ who kept the party alive until the early morning hours. This event allowed Nisha, Arun, and their guests to unwind and revel in the joyous occasion.

In a delightful twist to traditional wedding cakes, Nisha incorporated a sari wrap that matched her outfit, adding a cultural touch to the elegant confection. Like many others in their wedding, this detail was a testament to their thoughtful blend of tradition and personal style.

Nisha & Arun's wedding celebrated their union and a vibrant tapestry of love, tradition, and modernity. It was a beautiful affirmation that at the heart of every tradition lies the enduring power of love and the promise of new beginnings.

Congratulations Nisha & Arun!

How did you meet your Groom and when did you know he was "the one"?
We matched on the Hinge dating app. A couple of days later, we met in person. I lived in Orlando and Arun was living1.5 hours away from Orlando- north of Tampa. He made the drive down just for our date and drove back the same night! We met on a Thursday evening for drinks and dinner. Typically, I don't like to stay out too late when I have work the next day. I remember driving to the restaurant thinking I dont want to stay out longer than 2 hours. The date went so well that I ended up staying for 5 hours! Neither of us wanted to leave.

Share the scoop on your Proposal Story!
He flew me to Hawaii for a surprise proposal by the beach! We live in the east coast so the flight to hawaii was long- 12 hours one way. We were there for less than 48 hours! He had a beautiful proposal picnic planned on the beach with a professional photographer and a ukulele player! It was a proposal beyond what I could have.

How did you select your bridal lengha or wedding dress? Did you have a favorite color in mind?
I had known I always wanted the traditional red color for my wedding lehenga. Nepali brides are typically in a sari, but I knew I wanted to do a lehenga instead. I had been following one of my fav nepali designer- Manish Rai on social media. I saw one I liked online and worked with his team to customize it to my liking.

My reception lehenga took some time. I had been searching for a while, but nothing really sparked the 'this is the one' feeling in me until I saw one video that popped up on my feed. I did some digging to find the bride in the video and inquired about where she got it. It was a small boutique store in Connecticut - Herpret Couture. I got in touch with the designer and learned she works very closely with each client and each bride's lehenga design and production process can take up for 6 months. Within a week, we flew to Connecticut to check out the store. While I had my eye on one specific lehenga, when I got there, I saw a new collection that had not been advertised. I fell in love with this one! I really liked the blue and gold color combination and decided to go with that. It turned out really amazing!!

What did your guests particularly love about your Wedding?
We did the typical mehendi, haldi, sangeet, wedding, and reception on separate days. Wedding was friday morning and reception was Saturday evening.  One additional event we added was the official after party the evening of our wedding, and it was a hit! We booked a space in the hotel, had an open bar, photo booth and a DJ! Our DJ was amazing! He kept the party going until 6 AM! The best part was that we both got to relax a little once the ceremony was over, and we finally enjoyed spending time with our friends. Definitely a highlight for us and the guests

Do you have any words of wisdom for Brides-To-Be?
Don't be so stressed out during the events that you forget to ENJOY your own event!

Anything else you want to tell us? We'd love to hear all about your other details! (jewelry, mehndi, venue, cake, bouquets, etc.)
For the cake, I knew I didn't want to do the typical cake with just the flower arrangements. I liked the touch of adding a sari wrap to give it an element of culture. They were able to match the color to my outfit. It turned out beautiful!

Komal & Jagraj's wedding unfolded as a splendid tapestry of tradition, love, and elegance in the heart of the captivating Riviera Maya. The Sangeet at Generations Riviera Maya set a vibrant tone, with colors and rhythms that bespoke the joy of uniting families. Komal shone brilliantly, her laughter harmonizing with the festive ambiance. Transitioning to the serene El Dorado Royale, the ceremony and reception venues exuded sophistication and romance, each moment immortalized by Ismael Gonzalez Filmmaker keen lens. Alex Corbanezi and Styling Trio enhanced Komal's natural grace with exquisite hair, makeup, and Mehndi, ensuring her every glance was captivating. As Komal & Jagraj exchanged vows, their bond echoed with depth and sincerity, symbolizing not just a union of hearts but also of souls. The meticulous orchestration by Indian Destination Wedding, Inc. ensured that every guest was immersed in the warmth and hospitality that Indian weddings are renowned for—from the lively Sangeet to the final dance at the reception, each moment celebrated love and culture. It  was not merely a celebration but the beginning of a new, enchanting chapter in their love story.

How did you meet your Groom and when did you know he was "the one"?
Jagraj and I met on Tinder; however, we were mutual friends, which helped me decide to meet up with him. We met for sushi and drinks on a casual Saturday night. What was meant to be a two-hour date turned into five hours as we went to the bars around town. We hung out every week until I had to leave for my study abroad program. We talked on the phone every day, waiting to see each other again. I returned a month later, and he asked me to be his girlfriend. I knew he was the one because we had been inseparable since.

Share the scoop on your Proposal Story!
My best friend Alaina said she wanted to go out for drinks before my date night with Jagraj. I agreed, and she drove me to a cute Christmas bar in the city called Urban Roast. The place was decorated so beautifully with Christmas lights, decorations, Christmas trees, and a sign that said, "Kiss me under the mistletoe." As I walked in, I saw all of my best friends and his best friends holding roses. It took me a second to understand what was going on, but I caught on. Alaina proceeded to tell me something he loved about me, and then each one of our friends handed me a rose and also stated what he loved about me. They were all standing in a line, and as I walked by, I saw a giant "MARRY ME" sign with Jagraj standing with a bouquet of flowers for me. Jagraj takes my hand and says some sweet words to me, then gets down on one knee and proposes to me! He later takes me for dinner to a Lebanese restaurant called Ilili.

Tell us how you went about planning your wedding, and your overall experience with the Venues, Hair & Makeup, Outfits, Decor Theme, and all of the other important details.
When it came to planning our wedding, we decided to take a trip to Riviera Maya, Mexico, to check out our potential resorts. We chose the Riviera Maya area to have our wedding, as it holds a special place in my and Jagraj's hearts. That was our first vacation together two years prior, and that is when I knew he was my soulmate.
We worked with Ateet Ahuja from Indian Destination Wedding, Inc. to plan all of this. We had four resorts in mind which would accommodate our number of guests. We selected Generations/El Dorado Royale due to its beautiful tropical scenery and its closeness to the town of Playa del Carmen - mine and Jagraj's favorite town in the Riviera Maya region.
Our overall experience with the venue and vendors was quick, efficient, and flexible; although there were a few hiccups along the way, we had the mindset of "we can't control everything," so it did not stress us out much. We looked at everything from the bigger picture. I found wedding planning to be more fun rather than stressful - as the resort handled everything in-house. I am grateful to the team at Generations/El Dorado Royale for executing our vision well.

What did your guests particularly love about your Wedding?
I believe one of the things our guests loved about our wedding was that it felt like a giant rave. There was music, dancing, and entertainment every single day, and we received numerous comments saying our wedding was "the best wedding I have ever been to." The "giant rave" continued as we got party buses for our guests to take them for a night out to Coco Bongo, and they loved it. We were all on the big screen, having dance-offs, and they put our hashtag "#KomalFoundHerRaja" on display, which made the night really special!

Was there a really special moment in your wedding that constantly replays in your mind?
The special moment for us was having our parents and grandparents with us, having a great time. We are blessed to have shared this occasion with them. There are family members who have never been on a vacation together, and this was their first trip. They shared how grateful they were that we decided to have a destination wedding, as it brought everyone together.

Do you have any words of wisdom for Brides-To-Be?
Soak it all in! Cherish the little moments with your partner, sing and dance your heart out with your guests and loved ones, and hold your close ones closer.

This wedding was a heartfelt celebration of love, culture, and the beginning of a new life together.

How did you meet your Groom and when did you know he was "the one"?
We met in 2017 on a little dating app known as DilMil. We spent the better part of 7 years eating and traveling with each other, strengthening our bond. I knew he was the one when I saw his personality and how sweet and caring he was to me, and I knew he was the one as soon as I met him on our first date. Through the years, he showed me he cared and made an effort to keep me genuinely happy, making sure all of my thoughts and feelings were heard and understood.

Share the scoop on your Proposal Story!
He proposed to me in Akumal Bay, Mexico in a cenote. This was by far the most unique experience I have ever had or seen! He took me through a jungle in my dress and him in a suit and took me to a cenote with a little lake in it and proposed to me while the photographers were hidden.

Tell us how you went about planning your wedding, and your overall experience with the Venues, Hair & Makeup, Outfits, Decor Theme, and all of the other important details.
It was possibly one of the most stressful times in my life, but it was well worth it! We spent countless hours a day looking at ideas, dances, makeup ideas, venues, etc to find the best fit for us. We ended up choosing our vendors based on countless hours of research and talking. Overall, the vendors were the best! They informed us and kept up with our needs and thoughts, as well as made sure we didn't miss anything, even if we didn't mention it! Pinterest, Instagram, and viewing influencers were my main ways of finding ideas and thoughts about what we wanted!

How did you select your bridal lengha or wedding dress? Did you have a favorite color in mind?
I knew I wanted to do a variation of a red color and went to India through many different markets and shops to look for the perfect outfit until I went Thakur G in Vadodra and saw the lehnga and fell absolutely in love with it! It was love at first sight, and I never regretted or thought about that decision.

What was the most enjoyable part of the planning process, and why?
It was for sure planning it with my husband and having him with me every step of the way. The way we bounced ideas off each other and managed not to pull each other's hair out amazes me to this day. He not only was active in giving ideas, thoughts, and insights but also was integral in all the vendors and other things we did

What did your guests particularly love about your Wedding?
The guests, for sure, still rave about the food and music. The food was absolutely perfect (I never had the time to try it!), and the music, especially the MC during the baarat, engaged everyone and made everyone involved dance and enjoy the moment. People we have never seen move at any event were seen actually dancing and enjoying themselves!

Was there a really special moment in your wedding that constantly replays in your mind?
The pheras and first look we had were the special moment. The way he looked at me and said "DAMN" out loud to the moment we walked around the fire were all the most special moments I will never forget and keep replaying over and over again. It signified to me that I was finally with my "forever person," and I could enjoy my life with him!

For events other than your ceremony, please tell us as much as you would like about the decor, style, dances, and all the special details.
For our events we did something a bit different than most by doing our dances during the garba and only had younger people at our reception. We made sure every single person in both families joined us for a group dance where, even for the slightest time, they all got out of their seats and came on the dance floor to celebrate not only us but also to have them enjoy themselves too! For the dances, we spent hours practicing with each other and our groomsmen/bridesmaids, and as for the decor, we didn't want to stick to the traditional decor and ideas, so for unique ideas, our food rather than being served on tables, we had them on "street carts" during the garba similar to the food carts you see around India, we had out stage decorated bottom to top with fabric, umbrellas, and an "Arabian" seat style sitting.

Do you have any words of wisdom for Brides-To-Be?
There will be stress and a lot of it, but in the end, it's all worth it! Always keep in mind something my husband kept reminding me: if something can go wrong, it WILL go wrong, and the more you try to make it perfect or try to fix things, the more it'll be stressful but also make things worse, so take it easy, relax, plan what you actually can and once you're on wedding days let it all be and enjoy your time and look forward to being with your "forever person."

Anything else you want to tell us? We'd love to hear all about your other details! (jewelry, mehndi, venue, cake, bouquets, etc.)
The Mehndi person we used was absolutely amazing! (Rita Shah)She hid Shivam's name in my hand to the point where I struggled to find it, and it stumped almost every member trying to find it. We didn't know where it was until we had to beg her to tell us! The jewelry I used was handed down by Mom or bought from Jersey City at Taj Jewelers, where they not only gave us amazing prices but also made sure everything and anything we had asked for was there for us! The venue heard us out and did everything in its power to make our events go smoothly (Royal Albert's Palace). They ensured the food, seating, etc, were handled and done at a proper time and allowed our vendors ample time to come in early to handle their business, giving us a smooth and easy event!

The wedding was an unforgettable fairytale, a day that blended tradition and modernity, romance and charm.
