Photographers

Wedding Files were a delight to be around, in fact I think we were difficult clients for them as my husband and I are both are very uncomfortable when it comes to posing etc and we were always partying and dancing. They never got too upset with us and managed to bring out the best pictures in the limited time we could offer. We are so happy with the pictures. Also before the wedding, Amrit took out the time to ask us about how we wanted the flow , our vendors, our style, our story and I think it’s very important for us to be on the same page when something so personal is happening for a couple and he understood how important this day was for us. They did a great job plus a big bonus was that we never had to ask him for the pictures because it was delivered within 2 weeks and we were so happy about it.

Venues

This venue is everything and more you can ask for to host a wedding. The garden, lawns, terrace and banqueting space was in the best shape. The food and service was remarkable. The general manager, Rajiv sir ensured that all our requirements were not just met but Beyond our expectations. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about the food! All the arrangements that they made with regard to music and support were appreciated by each and every family member. The rooms were spacious and clean. Thank you team Koti Resorts for making our wedding day memorable for us.

Wedding Planners

I had a wedding of my dreams and it was only possible because of Ria and her team. While we were planning the wedding we never thought of getting a planner on board but I am so glad that we changed our decision and decided to get Mandap Martini on board. They all became a part of the family. There were so many issues that I am sure didn’t even reach me and were resolved by Ria and her team instantly. All my family and friends are in awe of how they worked relentlessly to give me the wedding that I have ALWAYS wanted. Always the first ones to wake up and last ones to go to sleep. She stuck to my budget, got in touch with numerous vendors, managed cabs, difficult vendors, different family expectations and above all during all this she never made me feel that I was being unreasonable, there was always a big smile and a statement “you don’t worry, you focus on yourself, baaki sab main dekh rahi hoon, hojayega”. And I think this kind of assurance is so important and to be available for your clients and giving them this kind of emotional support is truly commendable and above and beyond their call of duty. Decor was mostly managed by our event planner themselves. They got a local guy to do the decor who followed our planners instructions and did a good job with it. But I will be taking the credit away from my planners if I say that the decor guy did most things by himself because it was actually my planners who did everything. From stitching the tassels to standing on the ladder to put on the lights! Through it all!

Bridal Makeup

My makeup artist was no less than genie, Brenda Dewan. I was very worried that who will I find in Shimla and every from Delhi was way above my budget because of the travel cost and then I found a gem in Shimla, Brenda. She did a great job, not just with me but my family and friends. Everyone was in awe of her work and professionalism. My mother-in-law told her that I looked like the most beautiful girl on earth and obviously it was because of Brenda! Highly recommend her!

Bridal Wear

That lehenga was love at first sight, I bought that one along with my best friend even when my husband had not proposed me for the wedding but I was sure if I get married I am wearing that one and I was so scared that this design might go out of stock so without thinking twice we bought it and it was stunning.

Bridal Wear

Well I can only say all my visits to Mumbai from Delhi almost every second month were so worth it. I was coordinating with Pooja and she was a delight, it’s so funny from how we started talking about a design in my mind and ended up 6 months later on a design that I always knew I wanted but got swayed away with different ideas. A neat simple off shoulder with delicate embroidery and the simple trail length of the dress. 

Bridal Wear

This one is special to me because orange is my fave colour plus this one was gifted to me by my best friend’s mother so it holds a lot of emotional value for me plus I love Punjabi Sui and dabba work and I have always wanted a heirloom and this outfit again was just the right balance of smile and heavy work, a plain simple tissue burnt orange lehenga and a stunning dupatta.

Bridal Wear

This one was a velvet purple saree. It was a last minute pick but so worth it, even if you are not wearing a jewellery piece that saree can make you look like a show stopper.
