Somerset, NJ Indian Wedding by Sky Cinema Films

If weddings were symphonies, Chintan & Hiral’s grand affair was a crescendo of love, laughter, and unforgettable moments. It was a celebration so stunning that it could have been lifted straight from a Bollywood dream sequence—only this was real, and it was breathtaking.

Hiral’s baraat? Oh, it wasn’t just an entrance; it was an event. A moment in every sense of the word. Picture this: the rhythmic beats of Awaaz Entertainment setting the tone, a regal horse-drawn carriage from KV Carriage carrying the groom like a modern-day maharaja, and an energy level that could power an entire city. As Hiral made his way toward his bride, guests danced like no one was watching (but let’s be honest—everyone was).

The grandeur of The Imperia by Dhaba set the stage for a luxurious and lively reception. Known for its impeccable service and elegant ambiance, the venue seamlessly blended modern sophistication with traditional charm. It was designed for celebration with twinkling chandeliers casting a warm glow, sweeping floral installations that felt straight out of a fairytale, and a dance floor practically inviting guests to let loose. The spacious banquet hall allowed for a beautifully adorned mandap setup, ensuring every moment felt cinematic, from the grand entrances to the final dance of the night.

The mandap—a breathtaking floral haven created by Mandap Milap—stood like a throne for two souls about to become one. And when Chintan walked in? A collective gasp. Draped in bridal splendor, her ensemble was a masterpiece, glowing under the warm Somerset sky. With Beauty By Shital working her magic on the bride and Makeup by Ami ensuring the bridesmaids looked equally stunning, the wedding party was nothing short of ethereal.

Luxe Event Group kept the energy sky-high all night with a flawless mix of Bollywood beats and crowd favorites. From the couple’s grand entrance to the final song, they delivered a soundtrack that made every moment unforgettable. Some moments deserve to be immortalized, and Sky Cinema Films didn’t just capture the day—they turned it into art. Their cinematography felt like a love letter to the couple, weaving slow-motion elegance with heart-racing dance sequences. 

How did you meet your Groom and when did you know he was "the one"?
Throughout the years, I have tried meeting guys in person, and clearly, that didn't work out. I was on a few dating apps, and it felt like it became a full-time job. I kept swiping through, but nothing was working out. I knew I had to take a break, and after going through some serious health issues and losing my grandma, I realized that I needed to find someone to confide in. Finally, after a break from the dating apps, I decided to get back and meet Chintan on Dil Mil. We started talking through the app and then eventually had our first date in Philly, which lasted 12 hours!!!

Believe it or not, I knew he was the one after our second date. We went to the Phillies vs. Mets game (He's a die-hard Phillies fan, and my family and I are Mets fans). We were having a great time, but it was time to go home, and as we approached my car, I realized that I had lost my car key! My first instinct was to PANIC, but he calmed me down. we walked a few rows down, and he found my key intact! Since then, I knew I would be safe with him and did not have to worry!

Share the scoop on your Proposal Story!
Our first date was at this cherry blossom garden in Philly. We were so excited to see them, but when we got there all we saw was one tiny tree. We laughed about it and moved on with our date. Flash forward almost a year and half later he took me to a park near our first date that had the Philly skyline visible. There was a cute bubble set up with food and games inside and a "Marry Me" sign! it was PERFECT and I was too surprised!

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.
For Venue, we wanted to find a nice, elegant venue that also had a hotel close by since we would have a lot of people from out of state coming in for our venue. We found the Imperia in Somerset and loved the different options for doing a wedding outside or inside. It was beautiful so we went with that.

Photography: Ron and Bless are AMAZING at what they do! They have captured great moments of weddings for some of my cousins. It was a no brainer for us to choose them!

Videography: Sky Cinemas have also captured great moment at other family events and an added bonus was that they work great with Ron Soliman (our photographer). They do a great job and are very sweet to work with!

Hair and Make-Up: I reached out to a family friend who I knew did a great job with bridal hair and makeup. Shital was so excited to do this for me as she saw my grow up since I was a little kid! She did a great job and always kept me calm throughout the day!

Decor: Madam Milap had amazing decor, and it was very affordable! They communicated very well, and everything turned out amazing.

Mendhi: Dharma is such a creative person! She drew everything I wanted in my Mendhi and the stain was so dark and looked great!

Paan & Cocktails: Mr. Paanwala provided us with these amazing treats, and everyone LOVED them!

Dhol & Tabla: Rana Ranbir has been a childhood friend of mine and I'm so glad we were able to showcase his talent. He had everyone jamming throughout the baraat and the cocktail hour.

Same Day Coordinator: Eventify was recommended to us by my cousin, and they were great! Rupali and her team did a great job making sure everything went right even when things didn't. They even watched our dog Nala as we had her part of our wedding events!

DJ: Awaaz Entertainment played great music throughout the weekend to keep everyone dancing!

Food: Royal Alberts has GREAT food and a large selection so you cannot go wrong. Rasoi catered everything else and our mouths still water thinking about their delicious food.

How did you select your bridal lengha or wedding dress? Did you have a favorite color in mind?
When I was young, I went to A LOT of family weddings! I would always think about what kind of dress I want when I get married. It had to be a bright red color and have peacocks on it. Chintan and I went shopping in India. It was just the two of us, and it felt like I was explaining my vision to the staff, but they weren't showing me options I liked. Chintan started walking around the shop, and he's like I think I found exactly what you are looking for. He picked it up and showed me, and I fell in love! Once I tried it on, it was a done deal.

What did your guests particularly love about your Wedding?
Everyone that has called us and still talk about our wedding loved the food at every event and loved all of the entertainment we had. We had live paan and Indian mocktails, a 360 Photo Booth, an audio guestbook and a live tabla player at the cocktail hour!

Was there a really special moment in your wedding that constantly replays in your mind?
We loved that we were able to include our dog, Nala, in all the events! She was one of our flower girls and wore Indian clothes. She was included in all the photos and home events!!

Do you have any words of wisdom for Brides-To-Be?
No matter how much you try, things will go wrong and it may not go according to plan. Enjoy the day and every moment

As they embraced their new life as husband and wife, it was clear this was a memorable wedding.

Antigua Guatemala, GT Indian Orthodox Wedding by Auguro Weddings

When Marilyn & Alex set out to plan their wedding, they weren't just envisioning a beautiful day—they were crafting an unforgettable experience. And where better to bring this vision to life than the breathtaking, history-soaked ruins of Convento Capuchinas in Antigua, Guatemala? Their Indian Orthodox wedding blended timeless traditions, heartfelt moments, and jaw-dropping aesthetics into a celebration with every guest swooning.

Marilyn's wedding prep wasn't just about hair and makeup—it was a full-on queen moment. Vilma Coy Bridal Beauty Pro worked their magic, ensuring she looked radiant as she entered her exquisite bridal ensemble. Meanwhile, Alex suited up, knowing his bride was about to steal the show.

With its towering archways and sun-drenched stone walls, the historic venue set the perfect stage for Marilyn & Alex's vows. Auguro Weddings captured every glance, tear, and stolen smile as the couple sealed their love in a heartfelt ceremony. If there was ever a moment that defined Pinterest-worthy, this was it. After the emotional 'I dos,' the festivities kicked into high gear. The reception—also held at Convento Capuchinas—was a masterclass in elegance and energy, flawlessly executed by the incredible team at Saguzo. Every detail screamed romance, from the jaw-dropping décor to the soft candlelit glow.

Then came the grand entrance. With David Son GT providing live music and the beats of Batucada by Live Productions GT electrifying the air, Marilyn & Alex waltzed into their reception like they owned the night (which, let's be real, they did). Guests danced across a dazzling floor by Ambience Events GT, fueled by spirits from Vinoteca GT and pure wedding-day euphoria.

What's a party without a few surprises? From an epic photobooth experience by THE Moment Booth to sweet delights courtesy of Sofia Cobian, every moment was filled with joy, laughter, and sugar (the holy trinity of celebrations). And let's talk about those ultra-chic rentals from Relaxed Lounge Service, City Rentals, Úniquo Guatemala, and Unik Decor Rentals—because nothing says luxury like the perfect seating arrangement.

 

This wedding was more than stunning—it was a fusion of tradition, love, and joy.

Plymouth, MI Indian Wedding by Urban Phulkari

That's right! When you know, you know, and sometimes that means your future husband is thinking about long-term investments before you're even officially dating. This couple's journey from a chance meeting in Los Angeles to their breathtaking wedding in Michigan is nothing short of magical, with surprises, stunning decor, and dance performances that could rival Bollywood's best.

From the moment guests stepped into Nirali & Varun's wedding weekend, it was clear this was no ordinary celebration. Marigold Wedding Planners transformed each venue into a dreamscape, blending elegance with personal touches that made the weekend unforgettable. Whether it was the ethereal forest decor theme or the seamless execution of events, every detail reflected the couple's love story and vision.

The wedding ceremony occurred at St. John's Resort, with the Garden Pavilion offering a 360-degree view of Michigan's crisp autumn beauty. The sunlight streaming through the glass walls illuminated Nirali's custom Frontier Raas bridal lengha—a breathtaking ivory-white ensemble with rose gold accents that shimmered with every step she took.

Their sangeet & reception at Suburban Showplace set the tone for the festivities, with vibrant decor and performances from friends who had once been part of college dance teams. (Think: a full-fledged Bollywood showdown meets Punjabi and Gujarati fusion—because why settle for one when you can have both?) The reception brought the festivities to a grand finale, featuring an electrifying set from DJ Rohit Goswamy that kept the dance floor packed all night. And because no epic wedding weekend is complete without delicious food, Punjab Indian Cuisine and Krishna Catering delivered a feast with guests raving long after the plates were cleared.

The artistry didn't stop at decor—Amanie Mokdad and Simona Vigh worked their magic, ensuring Nirali looked flawless through every event. Her hair and makeup were always on point, from soft glam to bold bridal. And let's not forget Urban Phulkari, the genius behind cinematography and photography, who captured every laugh, tear, and twirl in breathtaking detail. Their cinematography wasn't just about recording moments—it was about storytelling. Every frame was meticulously crafted to reflect the couple's emotions, from the nervous excitement before the first look to the joyous energy on the dance floor.

 

How did you meet your Groom and when did you know he was "the one"?
We met at a party when I was visiting Los Angeles. He somehow knew my older brother and sister-in-law from across the country, but we had never met. We went on three dates within 5 days of meeting, and when I went back to the other side of the country, we kept talking and meeting every month for 5 months. I knew he was the one when he attended my graduate school graduation via Zoom, and he gifted me money to open a Roth IRA before we even officially dating. We started dating a few weeks later, and in less than 2 years, we were engaged.

Share the scoop on your Proposal Story!
We were supposed to meet our friends for a double date at the Getty Museum in Los Angeles, where we had our second date. I was actually asking him when he was going to propose 15 minutes before he actually got down on one knee. I genuinely had no idea! The surprises continued all night as our friends and family joined us in celebrating at the same club we first met at in Los Angeles.

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.
Planning our wedding was a full combined family effort as we were planning a wedding in my home state of Michigan while living in California. I have to give my husband a shout-out because the whole process would’ve been much more difficult without his negotiating and planning skills.

I dreamt of a unique wedding venue that was different than all the ones I have typically seen in metro Detroit. Tina from Marigold Planners heard our families' wishes and helped us find the perfect wedding venue at Saint John’s Resort in Plymouth, MI, about an hour away from where I grew up. The Garden Pavilion, in my opinion, was perfect for someone seeking a simple but elegant canvas for a wedding. The 360 glass walls of the pavilion allowed guests to enjoy the beautiful fall morning in Michigan.

For my wedding shopping, I didn’t have the time to go to India myself for shopping so I did all my shopping from online or through the help of family in India.

My hair and make up were on point the whole weekend, thanks to Simona Vigh (hair) and Amanie Mokdad (make up). I wanted something different for each look and trusted the artists to do their job and they did a phenomenal job.

For our wedding decor theme, we chose an ethereal forest theme.

How did you select your bridal lengha or wedding dress? Did you have a favorite color in mind?
I had always wanted an off-white wedding dress. I had seen a dress at Frontier raas in different materials and colors and got a custom dress made from them in an ivory-white color. When I saw the dress for the first time, I was in awe of the stunning, intricate designs and handwork and unique rose gold color accents. I couldn’t hide the details of my outfits from my fiancé, so I wanted to surprise him with at least one element of my outfit: my veil. The veil came together last minute, within 2-3 weeks before the wedding!

What was the most enjoyable part of the planning process, and why?
Being able to plan easily with our parents and fiancé.

What did your guests particularly love about your Wedding?
The food and music, as well as the coordination for the weekend. Sangeet and Reception food is prepared by Punjab Cuisine, and the wedding food is prepared by Krishna Catering and Restaurant. Music by DJ Rohit Goswamy and Planning + Coordination by Marigold Wedding Planners

Was there a really special moment in your wedding that constantly replays in your mind?
The whole weekend lol

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.
Many of our friends and family were on college dance teams, so our sangeet was very exciting. The l dances showcased both of our unique cultures (Punjabi and Gujurati) as well as our talented friends who helped choreograph and dance the different routines.

Do you have any words of wisdom for Brides-To-Be?
Wedding planning can be very overwhelming and stressful, make sure you take time to enjoy the process. Try not save any big planning details until the end—3-4 weeks before the wedding is when you should start enjoying all the Pre-wedding excitement.

Anything else you want to tell us? We'd love to hear all about your other details! (jewelry, mehndi, venue, cake, bouquets, etc.)
I am still in love with my wedding set from paisley pop. I stacked two necklaces for a fuller look, and I’m happy I chose pieces I can re-wear in the future in different ways. It was also very special for me to be able to incorporate family heirlooms into the accessories I wore.

We opted not to have wedding cake, but a dessert table spread instead for more variety. We Ended up still cutting a cake, however, as it was my husband birthday!

Sweethearts, the weekend was filled with joyful memories, beautiful traditions, and much dancing.

Antigua Guatemala, GT Indian Wedding by Ultra Weddings

In the heart of Antigua Guatemala, where cobblestone streets whisper tales of yesteryear and volcanoes stand guard over the city, a love story unfolded that was nothing short of cinematic magic. Jasmeen & Navid, two souls intertwined by fate, chose this historic locale to embark on their lifelong journey together. And oh, what a journey it was!

The couple's celebration was a harmonious blend of tradition and modernity, set against the backdrop of two of Antigua's most iconic venues. The Pensativo House Hotel, with its colonial charm and intimate courtyards, hosted the initial ceremonies, enveloping guests in an ambiance of timeless elegance. The festivities then cascaded into the majestic Ruinas de Santa Clara, where ancient stone walls and open skies bore witness to vows exchanged and promises made.

Entrusted with bringing Jasmeen & Navid's vision to life, Bride & Groom Guatemala orchestrated a grand and intimate event. Their meticulous planning ensured that every moment flowed seamlessly into the next, creating a tapestry of memories that guests will cherish forever. Addy Florales took the reins on floral and event design, transforming spaces into lush gardens of vibrant hues. Marigolds, roses, and jasmine interwove to create canopies under which traditions were honored and new memories forged. Each petal seemed to dance in celebration, adding to the day's enchantment.

A celebration of this magnitude demands a feast to match. Porta Hotel Antigua delivered a culinary experience that tantalized taste buds and satisfied souls. From traditional Indian delicacies to local Guatemalan flavors, the menu was a gastronomic journey. The first hint of the grandeur was delivered through exquisite invitations by Piñacolada GT and Matiz PapelyColor. Their designs encapsulated the essence of the upcoming festivities, building anticipation with every envelope opened.

While photographs capture still moments, films breathe life into memories. Ultra Weddings, the cinematographer's par excellence, did just that. Their lens didn't just record events; it told a story of stolen glances, joyous tears, and exuberant dances. The resulting film is a testament to their artistry, ensuring that Jasmeen & Navid's love story can be relived for generations.

As the night drew to a close and the stars took their place in the Guatemalan sky, one thing was clear: Jasmeen & Navid's wedding was not just an event but an experience—a beautiful beginning to a lifelong adventure.

 

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’s all about making choices—outfits, decor, flowers—that complement the venue and its atmosphere. So much inspiration online is geared toward ballroom weddings, but since my venue was a 16th-century convent, I had to be intentional about selecting decor, florals, and ceremony/wedding dresses that fit the setting.

How did you select your bridal lengha or wedding dress? Did you have a favorite color in mind?
I sent my sister to India to validate some of the things I'd seen online + gave her some free reign to make choices on her own. Balancing work during the day and staying up all night on FaceTime with her while she was out shopping in India wasn’t exactly fun, but she pulled it off!

What was the most enjoyable part of the planning process, and why?
When it was over. It freed up so much time in my schedule. We do miss it.

Do you have any words of wisdom for Brides-To-Be?
Prioritize what truly matters to you and your partner as you plan your wedding—those are the details that will make the day meaningful. It’s easy to get caught up in the stress of planning, but keep in mind that your guests are there to celebrate with you, not to notice every little detail. And when the big day arrives, take a moment to pause, look around, and appreciate having all your loved ones in one place, sharing in your joy. Savor every second!

Antigua Guatemala, set the perfect stage for this breathtaking celebration.

Plymouth, MI Indian Wedding by 97 Films

In the heart of Plymouth, Michigan, where tradition meets modernity, Poonam & Wesley orchestrated a wedding that was nothing short of a Bollywood masterpiece. Their journey from a serendipitous meeting at a summer party to a heartfelt proposal on their new home's front porch set the stage for a celebration that beautifully blended cultural heritage with personal flair.

The couple had always envisioned their nuptials at the esteemed Saint John's Resort. Fate intervened when the venue, which had recently embraced ceremonies of all religious backgrounds, became available just as they inquired. It was as if the universe conspired to make their dream come true.

Set amidst lush greenery, the Haldi and Mehendi ceremonies burst with traditional bright colors, symbolizing joy and prosperity. The Sangeet took a bold, non-traditional turn with a "disco jungle" theme, where pink ostrich feather centerpieces and disco balls filled with hot pink bougainvilleas created a vibrant fusion of Miami's vivacity and jungle allure. The wedding ceremony was nothing short of a dream, as Poonam, draped in a stunning red lengha sourced from India, embodied the quintessential Indian bride. As the celebrations continued, the reception transformed into a sultry, romantic affair, with lush greenery and candlelight setting the perfect mood for an unforgettable evening.

Killer Creations Photography and Cinematography captured the essence of each moment, ensuring that the couple's unique relationship with family and friends was highlighted in every frame. Their keen eye for detail and ability to preserve emotions made every shot a masterpiece. Marigold Wedding Planners orchestrated the event precisely, weaving the couple's vision into a seamless and memorable experience. From the vibrant pre-wedding festivities to the romantic reception, their expertise brought every detail to life with flawless execution.

97 Films masterfully transformed Poonam & Wesley's wedding into a cinematic masterpiece, capturing not just the visuals but the emotions, energy, and essence of their love story. Every frame was thoughtfully curated to weave together the laughter, tears, and heartfelt moments that made their day unforgettable. From the electrifying beats of the Sangeet to the tender vows exchanged during the ceremony, their team ensured that no special moment went unnoticed. Their storytelling approach goes beyond traditional videography—it creates an experience, allowing Poonam and Wesley to relive their wedding day with the same excitement and emotions they felt in the moment.

 

How did you meet your Groom and when did you know he was "the one"?
Wesley and I met the summer between my first and second year of optometry school at a party. We were introduced by a classmate of mine who had been best friends with him since kindergarten. After talking all night we knew we had an instant connection, and continued to see each other after that night.

Share the scoop on your Proposal Story!
In May of 2023, Wesley and I purchased our first home together. The day we closed and got the keys to the house, Wes got down on one knee on our front porch and asked me to marry him. It was perfect and just the two of us.

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.
Our vendors were amazing to work with! I had always dreamed of getting married at the Saint John's resort, and up until a few years ago, they only allowed Catholic weddings. It felt like fate when we inquired about their venue when they had just opened it up to all religious backgrounds. My inspiration for the decor was wanting to embody elements of us. For our Haldi and Mehendi, I wanted the bright traditional colors. For our Sangeet, I wanted to do something non-traditional and chose to do a disco jungle theme. I wanted it to be fun and have more of a Miami vibe than your typical sangeet decor. For the wedding, we wanted it to have that dreamy feel, and for the reception, we wanted it to be sultry/romantic. I wanted our guests to be able to feel the love we shared for one another by creating an environment that embodied that. I also picked outfits that matched each event but captured my personality in it. Our hair and makeup team was SO amazing to work with; they listened to everything I wanted, and I had never felt more beautiful in my life.

How did you select your bridal lengha or wedding dress? Did you have a favorite color in mind?
I knew I wanted to do traditional red, I LOVE an Indian bride in red. We most of my outfits from India, and I knew I wanted something a little different than what I was used to seeing. Once I found it I knew I had to have it.

What was the most enjoyable part of the planning process, and why?
Food tasting hands down was the best part, we had so many unique cuisines that it was exciting to try everything. I also really enjoyed planning the smaller details that brought everything together.

What did your guests particularly love about your Wedding?
The food and drinks!!! Our bartenders from the venue created craft cocktails for our guests that we didn't have to request, they just did it.

Was there a really special moment in your wedding that constantly replays in your mind?
Walking down the aisle. I had picked the perfect combination of songs to play, but when I was walking down, I felt like no one else in the room was there except my husband. It honestly felt like a movie moment for me, and all I could feel was love and joy.

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.
The Haldi and Mehendi were outdoors, which naturally has a lot of green, so we wanted to stick with the bright, vibrant colors to contrast nicely. Our Sangeet I wanted a disco jungle theme -- the room where we hosted the event at our venue has large glass ceilings with lots of greenery within it. We had centerpieces made with tall vases with pink ostrich feathers and smaller disco balls filled with hot pink bougainvilleas. I really just wanted the sangeet to be fun, with fun foods. We catered our food from Paradise Street Eats where we had loaded butter chicken and paneer fries, butter chicken and paneer tacos, tandoori chicken wings, and so much more fun street food.
Our wedding reception I wanted to have a more sultry romantic feel. I am not the biggest fan of florals and wanted to do more greenery and candle light.

Do you have any words of wisdom for Brides-To-Be?
Enjoy the planning process! There were definitely stressful moments, and there will be things that don't go your way -- but the day of, the only thing you're thinking about is the person you love the most. I would 10/10 highly recommend having your coordinator set up a private sitting area for you and your husband to eat dinner away from all your guests. We did this, and it honestly was the best way for us to spend quality time together and actually EAT without having people coming up to you.

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 artist was amazing and captured so many beautiful details, including the Ohio State logo, which is where we met, an eye because I'm an optometrist, monogram initials, and a beautiful bride and groom display.

I wanted unique touches at our reception, so we had a martini ice luge and had them make lychee martinis to pour down!

We did a dessert bar from Sweet Dreams along with wedding cake because we wanted to have more options, and I'm still dreaming about the macaron tower.

We stuck with the traditional baraat, having Wes come in on the horse and everyone loved it!! I'm kind of tired of seeing the sports cars, but our horse also came with a carraige so after the ceremony Wes and I both left in the carraige together. It was very fairytale like and I loved it!

Our photobooth was AMAZING! I wanted a Kardashian esq photobooth, without any props or signs. I couldn't rave enough about UV Photobooth, they were great to work with.

Poonam & Wesley's wedding was a celebration of love, culture, and beautifully blended traditions.
