I Just Got Married.
Now I Want to Plan Yours.

Here's what nobody tells you about planning a South Asian wedding: it is equal parts the most magical and most chaotic experience of your entire life — sometimes within the same five-minute window.

One moment you're tearing up over your lehenga fitting, and the next you're in a group chat with 47 relatives arguing about whether the baraat should start at 6:30 or 6:45. (It will start at 7:15. Accept this now.)

I know this not as a wedding planner reciting a script — I know this because I just lived it. My wedding was recent, it was beautiful, it was chaotic in the best possible way, and it was everything I dreamed of. And somewhere between the garba rehearsals, the vendor calls, the décor Pinterest boards that multiplied like rabbits, and the very important debate over which shade of marigold was correct (there is only one correct shade, by the way) — I found my calling.

Why I'm Doing This (And Why It's Personal)

I didn't stumble into wedding planning. I walked into it, fully sequined, with a spreadsheet in one hand and a cup of chai in the other.

Planning my own wedding taught me something profound: the couples who have the most magical weddings aren't the ones with the biggest budgets. They're the ones with the right support — someone who truly understands the culture, the family dynamics, the traditions, and yes, the very specific panic that comes when the DJ doesn't have the right Bollywood remixes queued up.

I'm that person for you. I get it — I really get it.

The South Asian Wedding Reality Check

Let's be honest with each other. If you're planning a South Asian wedding in Michigan or New Jersey, you already know it comes with a certain... energy.

• Your nani has opinions about the flower arrangements. Strong ones.
• There are multiple ceremonies, each with their own vendor, timeline, and outfit change.
• Someone in the family has already started choreographing a sangeet performance — whether you asked them to or not.
• The décor brief is: "elegant but also festive but also traditional but also modern." (And somehow, we make it work.)
• Every timeline you make will be adjusted by 45 minutes on the day-of. I build this buffer in. You're welcome.

This is not a criticism — it's a love letter. South Asian weddings are alive in a way that few celebrations in this world are. There is color and music and food and dancing and crying and laughing and pure, overwhelming love everywhere you look. They just also require someone to make sure the mandap flowers arrived, the DJ knows the difference between a sangeet set and a reception set, and the bride's family doesn't accidentally end up on the wrong side of the hall. (It happens.)

Here's What I Offer

I specialize in South Asian and Indian weddings across Michigan and New Jersey — two states I know well, with vendor networks I've built and trust. Here's how I show up for you:

The dance choreography piece is genuinely close to my heart. Sangeet performances are one of the most joyful, memorable parts of the entire wedding week — and they're also one of the most stressful to pull together when you've got aunties who last danced in 2003 and cousins who think they're on So You Think You Can Dance. I help families choreograph beautiful, fun, rehearsed performances that don't end in someone pulling a hamstring. (Usually.)

What Seamless Actually Means

I want to talk about that word — seamless — because it gets thrown around a lot in this industry. To me, seamless doesn't mean "nothing goes wrong." Things will go wrong. A button will pop off. The caterer will be 20 minutes late. It will rain for exactly 11 minutes and then stop.

Seamless means you never feel it.

It means that on your wedding day, you are present — laughing, crying, dancing, taking it all in — while I am quietly in the background making sure every single piece is moving exactly the way it should. You don't get a frantic phone call. You don't have to solve a problem. You get to be the bride or the groom, fully and completely, for every single moment of that day.

That's what I gave myself on my wedding day, and that's what I want to give you.

A Note to The Couple

To the couple reading this who's knee-deep in venue spreadsheets and vendor quotes and family group chats at midnight — hi. I see you. This process is a lot. It can feel overwhelming in ways that nobody outside of it really understands, especially when every conversation somehow turns into a debate about the guest list.

But here's what I also know: you are in one of the most beautiful chapters of your life. And the wedding, as hectic as planning it can be, is going to be one of the most extraordinary days you've ever experienced. The moment you see each other across the mandap, or the moment the whole family is on the dance floor together — those moments are worth everything.

I want to help you get there without losing your mind in the process.

Let's plan something unforgettable together.
