Photographers

The photography and videography teams were the ones we were most nervous about. They in a way would create all the memories for us to look back upon. After meeting Pranav ( Through the Barrel) and Aman (Film Screen), we were a little at ease. Our brief to them was to click the moments and not create them. We didn’t want the typical posed pictures and really capture us with everyone and through the events. We were still a little sceptical if this would actually happen but I remember mentioning to Archit the day after the wedding that I don’t remember seeing too much of Pranav and Aman yesterday, I hope we didn’t scare them and they hardly captured us. But I think their work speaks for itself. Absolutely brilliant candid moments captured and the trailer is something I can watch a 100 times and it still brings a big smile to our face!

Wedding Planners

Headed by Aliya and Vishal, the Wedding Duo team was a superb choice made for planning our wedding, as they went all out to deliver exceptional client service. Concisely put: Very creative and full of ideas, yet very accommodating and inclusive to our ideas, choices and budgets (not overbearing). They were exceptionally agile and responsive, making them seamless to deal with. Well connected/ networked and very resourceful. Solution oriented (turning around the decor for a function 2 weeks short- still beautifully executed)!! Very well organised and planned, leading to no lapses (at least none that glaringly came to our attention). Friendly and helpful - Went beyond their scope to help in stuff required at home and smaller functions, not under their purview.

Bridal Makeup

I have never been a make-up person and I don’t like how brides are so overdone on the day of their wedding and don’t look like themselves. Aliya pushed me to meet Annalia (makeup artist), she had worked with her for her own wedding and she understood my apprehensions. From the go, Annalia knew exactly what I was talking about and gave me all the confidence after my trial. She was very patient with me through the back and forth of my outfits and deciding on my final look. On the final day, I couldn’t have been happier! I was so comfortable and felt just like myself.

Invitations

I didn’t want the run of the mill designs of elephants, lotuses and Mughal jaalis. Aishwarya, the designer behind our Save The Date and invites from my side, had made my friend’s wedding card and that’s how I got in touch with her. She worked with us through our story, us as people, our vision and managed to recreate a wonderful interpretation and yet a very delicate invite. The ‘save the date’ was totally personalised and everyone had a good laugh when they received it.

DJs

The Unplugged Project are one of the main reasons our wedding reception was a big hit! Their knack to understand the audience’s choice and vibe, their selection of songs, the mashups, was perfect for wedding crowd which ranges across ages and places from everyone comes from. Not a single soul left without letting their hair down! Their stage presence and engagement with the audience, made them a very friendly and interactive band – Very easily standing out above the rest!

Bridal Wear

Jayanti Reddy’s team made my life so easy. Sitting at home I ordered my outfit with them in Hyderabad and it was delivered at my doorstep right on time! An absolutely seamless experience with Nelofer from JR’s team, went to the extent of sending swatch samples from Hyderabad, a trial for my blouse before delivering it all perfectly as per my expectations!

Bridal Wear

The cocktail outfit was from Ridhi Mehra. Initially, we went through some back and forth on the design but Ridhi’s expertise really created magic and gave me exactly what I had in mind (actually better than what I had in mind). Muted, something I was absolutely comfortable in, through the whole evening and through all the dancing! There were no pinks and reds and I don’t think I have any regrets!

Cinema/Video

The photography and videography teams were the ones we were most nervous about. They in a way would create all the memories for us to look back upon. After meeting Pranav ( Through the Barrel) and Aman (Film Screen), we were a little at ease. Our brief to them was to click the moments and not create them.

Sangeet Choreographer

I am a complete non-dancer and Karan managed to make me do 3 dances and one of them included a bit of a solo! On the other hand, Archit- a born performer, had the best time with Karan planning the surprise for everyone and adding all the Bollywood masala to the performances. He was the choreographer from both the sides and from Day 1 kept our song lists a secret to let it be a surprise for the other side. He mixed so well with the families and treated the performances like his own family wedding. Our song choice was also a little different with none of the usual latest songs- but he never forced his own ideas on us. Though he did add audio clips in between with dialogues making them even more fun! Karan was absolutely brilliant and a joy to work with!

Catering Services

Puneet Sikand (The Kitchen Art Co.) was hands down the champ in his field. Excellent food, presentation and service. Hospitality, the way the best of five star hotels need to learn from. Their concept of having a butler service, was out of this world as it was flattering, practical and none of the main people were left hungry/ thirsty.

Catering Services

Sameer’s team (Kwality) also provided superb food and menu choice, great and unique presentation. The manager Sameer, was a great leader for his team, making sure food is served piping hot even at 3:30am! Very hard working and efficient team.

Catering Services

The perfect choice for your bar! Clayton (bartender) was extremely professional, not overbearing, seamless, andmature. He well understood our choices, requests and demands. He was extremely practical with his advice on quantities, brands and types of cocktails. Needless to say that Clayton and his team (also headed by Rahul), did a splendid job with delicious cocktails, both for the day and night!! Would confidently recommend him for taking care of your bar!
