Welcome to Maharani Weddings

If you’ve ever wondered what magic looks like when fall foliage meets wedding flair, Leah & Aditya’s breathtaking celebration might be your answer. Picture this: a golden October glow, rolling hills wrapped in autumn leaves, and a celebration bursting with tradition, love, and just the right amount of sparkle (plus sneakers). This is the kind of wedding that makes you wish you were a guest—or, at the very least, the flower girl.

The festivities kicked off with a sun-kissed haldi and mehndi ceremony at the groom’s home, where laughter flowed as freely as the turmeric. The couple’s closest circle painted the day in hues of yellow, orange, and marigold joy, with Henna by Sravs adding intricate magic to Leah’s hands. Then came the scenic shift to Keswick, Virginia, where Seven Rings Events worked their planning sorcery to transform Castle Hill Cider into a wedding dreamscape. If the mountains could talk, they’d whisper: “We’ve never looked better.”

Under a mandap gorgeously brought to life by Decor by Ruby,  Leah & Adi blended traditions beautifully. For the Mehndi, Leah stunned in a regal saree by Kultham Fashion, styled and draped to perfection by Glam by MK, while Aditya stood tall in his traditional attire, beaming with pride. The couple honored both Indian and Ukrainian heritages, feeding each other korovai, a traditional Ukrainian wedding bread, in a tender moment that had everyone reaching for tissues (and probably another mimosa). The reception was a whole new vibe. Jewel-toned opulence danced across the venue, matching Leah’s emerald green lehenga from Raj Gharana—a glittering masterpiece that shimmered under the barn lights like a thousand stars. Aditya kept up with the glam effortlessly (somehow managing to pull off both dashing and adorable), and when the music started? Out came the matching green-and-white Nikes. Yes, this couple brought kicks to their sangeet steps—proving that comfort and cool can go hand in hand.

Let’s take a moment to spotlight the absolute wizards behind the lens: Paperboys. Every image from this wedding feels like it was dipped in warmth and joy, capturing not just the beauty but the feeling of the weekend. From the emotional glances to the joy-fueled baraat with Kundan Events, the photography and cinematography team delivered nothing short of visual poetry. Honestly, their work deserves a standing ovation (and maybe a cupcake from Anisha Bakes to sweeten the deal). Every corner of the celebration was intentional. From Bombay Tandoor’s flavorful spread to the glam touch by Glam by MK and heirloom-worthy jewels from Inaury, every detail reflected love, culture, and personality. Guests struck a pose at The Photobooth Company, danced under string lights, and celebrated the union of two cultures with great joy. Leah & Adi’s wedding wasn’t just an event—it was a heartwarming, high-energy, head-turning experience that we’ll be dreaming about for seasons to come.

With laughter, color, and love, Leah & Aditya’s wedding was truly a celebration to remember.

When Vishwani & Wyatt began planning their wedding, they knew they wanted a day that would honor their South Asian heritage while capturing the modern, fun-loving essence of their relationship. And let me tell you—this couple delivered in spades! The morning of the wedding was a flurry of excitement. Vishwani, resplendent in her richly embroidered Chahat Couture lehenga, was a vision of poise and elegance. She chose a deep, regal red that complemented her warm smile and the intricate henna by Henna by Pallavi. As she adjusted her dupatta, she confessed, “I wanted my outfit to reflect the powerful woman I’ve grown into while staying rooted in tradition.” And it did exactly that.

Wyatt, meanwhile, looked every inch the suave groom in his tailored tuxedo from Knot Standard, blending classic style with the spirit of the day. As he waited for his first look at Vishwani, he admitted to a few butterflies fluttering around. But the moment he turned around to see her, time seemed to stop. Their eyes met, and it was as if the world hushed to watch this beautiful moment unfold. The couple’s chosen venue, The Larkfield, was transformed into an enchanting floral wonderland by the talented team at Exclusive Events NY. Think lush garlands, vibrant blooms, and a dreamy ceremony arch that framed the couple’s vows perfectly. They truly pulled out all the stops, infusing each corner with color and magic, making it feel like a scene from a fairytale. The ceremony was a blend of laughter and heartfelt emotion. As Vishwani and Wyatt exchanged vows, the love in their eyes was palpable. They shared quiet glances and sweet smiles that spoke volumes, even as the world around them seemed to melt away.

A. Merisier Events, working in collaboration with WMF Floral & Design, orchestrated a seamless day of celebration. From the mehndi night—where guests admired the intricate henna patterns on Vishwani’s hands—to the lively baraat, where Wyatt arrived in a flower-adorned BMW that could only be described as the ultimate “Wow Factor,” the entire wedding was a testament to impeccable planning. Speaking of the baraat, let’s pause for a second. Picture this: a convoy of guests in colorful attire, waving smoke bombs in the air, and Wyatt riding in style. It was the kind of entrance that made everyone stop, stare, and start dancing. Honestly, who needs a horse when you have a luxury car decked in blooms and a groom with a megawatt smile?

The evening continued with an epic reception where DJ Gudah and Finer Touch Entertainment kept the beats flowing and the dance floor packed. Vishwani, twirling in her lehenga, glowed under the lights as Wyatt beamed at her. Their friends and family joined in, making sure the dance floor was never empty and the joy was infectious. Not to be outdone, the couple’s four-legged ring bearer—courtesy of the Royal Dog of Honor—stole a few hearts and a few selfies. The sweet tooth in the room had its moment of bliss, thanks to the delectable treats from Chaiwala Cart NY.

J’adore Love Photo & Cinema captured it all—the quiet, tender moments, the bursts of laughter, and every dance move in between. Their lens didn’t just document the day—it told a story. From the teary-eyed first look to the electrifying energy of the baraat, every image reflected the heart and soul of the celebration. The artistry in their work is undeniable; each frame feels intentional, vibrant, and full of life. They have a remarkable ability to freeze raw emotion in a single click, so much so that looking through Vishwani & Wyatt’s album feels like reliving the wedding all over again. The composition, color, and storytelling style speak to the expertise and passion of a team that genuinely understands the rhythm of South Asian weddings. Enjoy it!

Share the scoop on your Proposal Story!
To my surprise, Wyatt proposed on Sunday, September 5, 2021. As foodies and frequent explorers of new and exciting restaurants, Wyatt arranged a dinner for us at the famous River Cafe in Brooklyn. The hope was/is that for decades to come, we will return to the River Cafe to reminisce about this special moment in our relationship. Coupled with dinner, Wyatt informed me that his job had organized a boat ride as a “work event.” This second and post-dinner component would be the cover Wyatt needed to get me alone. As we approached the Pier, the captain of the small boat informed us that the rest of Wyatt’s co-workers had either canceled or were running late. That was the moment when I knew. Indeed, it was either the suspicious solo boat, the bottle of Dom Perignon that Wyatt insisted we bring since the “work event” was BYOB, the pre-arranged assortment of chocolates, or the overly large engagement ring box protruding from Wyatt’s pocket since dinner. We quickly set sail with a pre-arranged playlist that reminded us of our dating years, including a summer road trip along the Pacific Coast Highway. When we reached the Statue of Liberty, Wyatt approached me, got down on one knee, and asked me to make him the luckiest man on the planet. The rest is history.

How did you select your bridal lengha or wedding dress? Did you have a favorite color in mind?
For my bridal lengha, I wanted a traditional look with a twist: an elaborate red and white gold lehenga with pops of color to stand out.

For my wedding dress, I was open to trying every style and option out there, so it took me a while to make a decision! I didn’t really have a vision of what I wanted to wear (whenever someone asked me, I told them I just saw Wyatt down the aisle and not what I was wearing!) I visited multiple (probably 10+) salons over months to find the perfect dresses, and was very happy I took the time to figure out my vision! Viero Bridal was an absolute pleasure to work with.

What did your guests particularly love about your Wedding?
Guests loved to see all of our family and friends come together to celebrate our love and the blend of cultures. For the traditional Hindu ceremony, most guests wore traditional attire, and Wyatt and his closest friends and family even surprised me with a Bollywood performance!

Cheers to the newlyweds—a love as timeless as their beautiful and meaningful wedding day.

Ready to be inspired? Khusbu & Birju’s wedding story awaits in our Platinum Guide Blog!

How did you meet your Groom and when did you know he was "the one"?
Our tale begins amidst the fluorescent-lit chaos of a science fair symposium in our senior year of high school. There we were, two budding geniuses armed with awkward teenage charm, locked in fierce competition. Obviously, Birju won the science fair & gloated in all his glory. Fast forward to Rutgers University, where I found myself in a cramped Biology class my first semester. And who did I see walk in on my first day of class? Birju! But he did not recognize me. Eventually, we started hanging out in the same group of friends, and he remembered. I would like to believe he knew I was the one when I was stuffing my face with breadsticks at Olive Garden on our first date, and I knew he was the one when he encouraged me to indulge even more! Jokes apart, while I don't necessarily think it was one exact moment, I believe it was our journey together. I truly believe it was our journey together—the ups, the downs, and everything in between—that made me realize he was the one. Through thick and thin, he was always by my side, and his unwavering presence showed me the depth of his love and commitment.

Share the scoop on your Proposal Story!
Birju had always talked about taking a long-haul trip, and knowing how hectic my schedule was, he took it upon himself to plan the perfect getaway, saying we both needed a well-deserved break. All he told me was to pack warm and expect resort vibes. Little did I know that this would take us all the way to the breathtaking paradise of Bora Bora!

One of the highlights of our trip was a helicopter ride over the stunning islands. As we soared above the crystal-clear waters, a heart-shaped island called Tupai appeared in the distance. To my surprise, we began to descend and landed on this picturesque island. The pilot encouraged us to step out and take some photos.

As I stood admiring the view, Birju pretended to take a picture of me. Before I knew it, I turned around to find him down on one knee, proposing! It was the most magical and unexpected moment, set against the backdrop of pure paradise.

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.
I've always been the planner in my family, whether for small gatherings or major events. When it came to our wedding, we began with two key priorities: our guest list and the venue. Knowing we had a large guest count, we wanted to ensure our wedding was as easy and convenient as possible for our guests. After much consideration, we chose the Hanover Marriott, which offered the perfect combination of space and accessibility.

With the venue secured, our next step was selecting a coordination team, and Aria Events was the perfect choice. Not only did they assist in finalizing the remaining vendors, but their insightful advice and expertise also made the entire planning process so much smoother. On the day of the wedding, their team was exceptional, managing a tight schedule seamlessly, especially since three of our events were held at the same location.

For décor, I had a clear vision: each event needed to feel uniquely different and leave a lasting impression on our guests. This was particularly challenging for our Sangeet, Wedding, and Garba, as all three were hosted at the same venue. The task of transforming the space to feel fresh and distinct for each event was no small feat, but Abhishek Decorators brought that vision to life. From the intimate home events to the grand reception, they executed every detail flawlessly, creating truly memorable experiences at every turn.

For our production, we chose Summit AV Group. They collaborated seamlessly with our decor team, not just to highlight the decor but to change the ambiance of the room completely. Each time we walked into the ballroom, it looked different—an incredibly difficult task that they executed flawlessly. This alone speaks volumes of the caliber of work they do.

From the captivating live performances by Medley Entertainment and Varsha Joshi to the electrifying energy brought by DJ USA, each entertainment vendor ensured our guests were on their feet all night long. Their talent and energy created an unforgettable atmosphere, making every moment of our celebration truly special.

Abhi Sarkar Photography and Ronak Amin Studios made us feel like absolute movie stars, capturing every special moment with incredible artistry and care. Their warm personalities and professionalism added to the joy of the day, ensuring we felt comfortable and celebrated throughout.

Moghul Catering was an absolute hit, and to this day, we still receive compliments about the incredible food. Our guests thoroughly enjoyed every dish, making it a standout element of our celebration.

Makeup by Mansi and Glam by Glee made me feel truly beautiful for every event. Knowing I usually don’t wear much makeup, I wanted a soft, natural look that still made me feel my best. They understood exactly what I was looking for and helped me achieve a look that was both effortless and radiant, allowing me to feel like the best version of myself throughout the celebrations.

How did you select your bridal lengha or wedding dress? Did you have a favorite color in mind?
When it came to choosing my bridal lehenga, comfort and connection were my top priorities. I explored a variety of colors, but it wasn’t until I tried red that I truly felt like a bride. Despite trying on dozens of outfits, the moment I wore an Amrin Khan lehenga—designed collaboratively with her—I knew it was the one. Growing up, I always associated brides with red, but it wasn’t until I started wedding shopping that I truly understood the significance of that feeling. It was a moment of pure magic and nostalgia, brought to life in the perfect lehenga.

What was the most enjoyable part of the planning process, and why?
One of the most enjoyable aspects of wedding planning was the incredible experiences we had along the way. From a pre-wedding shoot in the majestic city of Jaipur to capturing breathtaking moments in Utah’s sand dunes and salt flats, and even filming a pre-wedding video in the heart of New York City, each experience was a dream come true. My husband and I share a love for travel, and it was so special to create lasting memories together in such diverse and beautiful locations.

What did your guests particularly love about your Wedding?
Our guests often share how much they loved the décor and food, calling them some of the best they’ve experienced. Many mentioned feeling an immediate sense of warmth and welcome as they entered our venue, even though it was a familiar hotel that had hosted countless weddings before. They appreciated the effort we put into creating a memorable experience and shared how much they enjoyed every aspect of the celebration. Above all, many were touched that we took the time to personally greet as many of them as possible, making the occasion feel even more special.

Was there a really special moment in your wedding that constantly replays in your mind?
Two moments stand out vividly in my mind. The first is walking down the aisle—or, as my family lovingly puts it, running down the aisle. It’s a memory I’ll never forget, filled with nervous excitement and butterflies as I approached the next chapter of my life.

The second is my first dance with Birju. That moment felt truly magical, as if the world faded away, and it was just the two of us. It was so special, a beautiful reminder of the love and joy we shared on our wedding day.

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.
I particularly cherished my Haldi event, as it was a moment surrounded by the love and blessings of nearly every important person in my life. Having this pre-wedding celebration in the house I grew up in made it even more meaningful, adding a sense of nostalgia and warmth that made the experience feel incredibly special.

Do you have any words of wisdom for Brides-To-Be?
It’s easy to get swept up in the social media wedding buzz and feel the pressure to keep up with every trend and look a certain way. What truly matters is how you choose to enjoy the day, create lasting memories, and celebrate the start of a beautiful new journey together. Stay true to yourself, embrace the moment, and let the noise fade into the background. And most importantly, don’t let anyone dim your sparkle!

The night was filled with unforgettable memories, woven with love and vibrant energy.

If fairytales were filmed in real life, Ramsha & Bahroz's wedding would definitely be up for an Oscar. Set against the sun-kissed cliffs of Pacific Palisades, CA, this South Asian wedding was a breathtaking fusion of elegance, tradition, and just the right amount of sparkle — plus a healthy dose of unforgettable dance moves. (More on that later!)

Every moment felt like a modern-day romance movie, from their Sangeet Set against the sparkling Pacific Ocean backdrop at The London West Hollywood to their seaside vows at the stunning Bel-Air Bay Club, with a view almost as gorgeous as the couple. Under a floral masterpiece crafted by the geniuses at Butterfly Floral Design, Ramsha and Bahroz said their "I dos" beneath a mandap so exquisite it deserves its own Instagram account. Thanks to Special Occasions DJ & Lighting, the night became a vibrant kaleidoscope of light and sound. And we can't forget the master of melodies, John Violinist, who added an extra layer of enchantment with his live performances.

With White Rose Production Cinema and Photo, we didn't just feel it. We lived it. Their cinematography captured every candid laugh, every breathtaking decor detail, and every goosebump-inducing glance with a cinematic style that deserves its standing ovation. With dynamic, sweeping shots and an eye for those fleeting, magical moments, White Rose didn't just document the wedding; they told the story.

Meanwhile, Neha Assar Artistry worked her magic on Ramsha, creating the dreamiest Mehndi designs — each intricate swirl telling a story of love, tradition, and beauty. Get the Look by Neha ensured our bride was glowing, and we're not just talking about her inner joy. Every look was flawlessly styled, every curl in place, every eyelash flutter ready for its close-up. The guests were welcomed with elegantly crafted invitations and stationery by Jen Simpson Design, setting the tone for the sophisticated seaside affair. Every detail was thoughtfully curated by Exquisite Events, who flawlessly orchestrated the entire experience. From breathtaking entrances to seamless transitions between events, they proved that dream weddings aren't just imagined — they're expertly planned.

As day turned to night, the festivities roared to life again with Mickey Singh bringing down the house (because why walk into married life when you can dance into it?). Under romantic lighting and surrounded by luxurious touches — courtesy of MTB Event Rentals and Luxe Linen — the newlyweds celebrated in true Bollywood-meets-Hollywood style. And let's talk about that first dance — a moment so beautiful that even the most stoic of guests might have found something in their eye. (Dust, definitely just dust.) Of course, Abby Jiu Photography was on hand to immortalize every grin, every tear, and every swoon-worthy twirl with a timeless, editorial flair that complemented the cinematic feel of the entire celebration. Do not miss the film and enjoy.

From the heartfelt vows to the high-energy dance floor, every moment was a dream come true.
