Photographers
Sidd and I absolutely loved our pick for our photographer - Claude Loren! It was really important for the both of us to be able to connect with our photographers and feel comfortable with them. When Sidd met Claude in Bangalore, he knew right away that Claude would the best choice for us. Claude and his whole team (Sheldon D'Mello) were extremely professional, courteous and very kind. They were very flexible with our schedule and didn't count hours which a lot of photographer's don't do and we appreciated in them a lot! Highly recommended!
Venues
I really don't know where to begin with ITC! First off, ITC was definitely hands-down the best hotel I have probably ever stayed at! I had many family and friends coming from the USA and they took such amazing care of all my guests. My friends still keep talking about ITC and how much they want to go back and stay there! I really can't thank them enough for helping us make sure all our guests are taken care of and provided with the best service. We also had our Mehndi and Haldi events there, and the food was just out of this world! The staff there was super helpful to work with and I want to personally thank Abhijit Roy for being extremely friendly and accommodating to all our requests/demands!
Venues
We had both our Sangeet and Wedding at the Taj. I had kept hearing how amazing the Taj West End was but until I got to see it myself, I didn't realize how beautiful their whole property is. Getting married outside in their Prince of Wales lawn under the stars and Mango Tree is what fairytales are made of! Taj West End made sure they did everything to make sure they gave us the best venue, service and food we could have asked for. I wanted to personally thank Shavir Bacha for all of his assistance and was amazing to work with. He made sure all our needs were met. People to this day are still talking about the amazingg food and venue!
Wedding Planners
First and foremost, I couldn't have had the dream wedding I envisioned without 3P! Being that I live in the USA and Sidd living in Bangalore, I knew that planning a wedding oversees would be a challenge, to say the least. Being a wedding planner myself in the USA, I knew I had to hire the best professional wedding planner in the business that would help ease off the burden from Sidd and myself. I am so glad we found 3P - they made the process extremely seamless and carefree for the both of us. The whole team was extremely professional and great to work with - Sowmya, Ann, Kate, Salma, Uday, Manish and everyone else who assisted with our planning. One of the most important values a client looks for in their Wedding Planner is communication. And I would definitely say that this is one of 3P's strongest assets. They were always readily available and responsive to any of our questions or demands. They were attentive and extremely organized. Sowmya Raghavan, one of the main partners of 3P, was a pleasure to work with and kept all my thoughts and interests in mind when helping me plan the decor portion for all the events. I am not even exaggerating when I say that she literally remembered every single detail that I had told her I wanted, executed it and made it look 10x better than I ever imagined it to be. I am still hearing compliments from people who attended on how beautiful the wedding looked and I really have Sowmya and her vision to thank for all of that. Thank you 3P Team for making my dream wedding come alive!
Bridal Makeup
I couldn't have asked for a better makeup artist! Kulsum is definitely the best MUA that Bangalore, and even India, has! She was extremely professional, punctual and so nice. She took all my suggestions and interests in mind, and even tried some new things she had never done before with some of my looks :-). Her prices also were very reasonable and comparable to some of the other MUAs in the city. I highly recommend any bride to go to her for a trial. Trust me - you won't regret it!
Bridal Wear
Asiana was extremely professional and courteous to deal with. Their work speaks for itself and I was very impressed with their comprehensive collection. I wanted a lot of customization on my outfits and they listed everything down. Since my wedding was only a few months away, they only had that time to get it done for me. I gave them my deadline and they delivered right on time to me (a week before my wedding!) and the fitting was absolutely perfect! I didn't have to get anything altered. I was baffled as I was almost convinced I would need to take something to a tailor to get fixed once I tried it on. I couldn't have imagined getting married in anything else and I have Asiana Couture to thank for that!
Bridal Wear
was looking for a nice, simple but elegant outfit for my Mehendi event. I found the perfect outfit from Allure! Deepika is one of the nicest people I have met and extremely professional and takes all your input into consideration. I absolutely loved my mehndi outfit!

Amit Shah is the owner and designer of Andaz Design, based out of New York, USA. Amit has a keen eye for detail and is considered a visionary for his creativity. I love all of his designs and knew he would be the perfect choice to make all my bridesmaids and groomsmen outfits. He chose an unconventional theme with the different shades of green that would go along with my wedding outfit. They came out absolutely beautiful- he started getting a lot of inquiries from other clients after people saw these outfits on social media! I? also wanted him to make a few outfits for me. He made my Haldi and After-Party outfits and they went completely beyond my expectations - his work speaks for itself. I love them so much that I will be wearing them again for my USA reception quite soon! (www.andazdesign.com)
Cinema/Video
While searching for various videographers/cinematographers in Bangalore, Sudeep was my #1 choice from the get-go! His work speaks for itself and I couldn't be happier with having Sudeep and his team there to shoot our events. Sidd and I absolutely loved working with Sudeep. He was extremely professional, friendly and super nice. He and his team were also very flexible with our schedule and didn't hold us to a time crunch. You get exactly what you want with Sudeep and I highly recommend him for anyone looking for amazing wedding footage!
