Photographers
Avnish was a delight to have as a wedding photographer. He made me and Matt really comfortable, didn't bat an eyelid about our low key choices and in fact, brought some of the best moments out. He became like a family by the end of the two days of the ceremonies. He gave his honest advice on my looks and on the decor. He made the best use possible of my house in the photoshoot, captured the emotions really well and gave me an amazing collection of photos. Seeing the images is like reliving those two days. I couldn't have asked for a better photographer, for sure.
Venues
When we were looking for venues for the pre and post-wedding functions, I knew I wanted an outdoor setting but I didn't want a Farm House or a Five star Hotel. The Garden of Five Senses fitted the bill. We used two different lawns for the two functions and they both were already so beautiful that they only needed lighting to have them to shine out. The natural elements there were just perfect and required minimal decorations. After the decor, the place transformed into a dream venue. I couldn't have asked for better.
Decorators
Gaurav did decor for all three functions we had. He gave his best and worked around different themes for all functions. He seamed together conflicting visions and created a beautifully blended look for the reception. There was a pine tree in the the garden which I really wanted to have as the centre of the stage decor. Gaurav designed the stage around it and it came out to look ethereal.
Bridal Makeup
Smaraki is a close friend and a makeup Vlogger. I watched few of her videos and I knew I wanted her to do my makeup. I told her I wanted to use only cruelty free products, she responded "Anything you say. You are the bride" I felt like we created all the different looks together. They were all natural, minimal and real. I felt like best version of myself in all those.
Groom Wear
Brij Tailors made outfits for all the male members of our family. They did a wonderful job at it.
Bridal Wear
I wanted a quirky, fun, flirty outfit for my sangeet and an elegant, subtle and yet outstanding and exquisite dress for the reception. I loved both my dresses (my reception lehengas even had a pocket!). P.S. They created gorgeous outfits for my mom and for Matthew's family as well.
Catering Services
We had quite a few tastings before we decide to go with Saltt for the reception dinner. The menu suggested by them in the tasting was quite unique and everything on it was delicious and we were sold then and there. The desserts (caramel phirni and Tiramisu were my personal favourites) in particular stood out. Several of our guests complimented my dad on the food.
