Share the scoop on your Proposal Story!
Sourabh and I had been living on the Upper East Side of Manhattan for a few years, so Sourabh knew he wanted the proposal to take place somewhere in our neighborhood and chose to arrange for it at Carl Shurz park. When we set out that morning for what I thought thought was brunch with friends, I noticed it was a really cloudy day and actually commented to Sourabh saying "Boy, it'd be a terrible day to take pictures"! But as we stepped in the park, I knew brunch was not on the menu. Sourabh got down on one knee, while Ashley Fox captured the moment. It was the perfect New York morning!
Tell us how you went about planning your wedding, and your overall experience with the Venues, Hair & Makeup, Outfits, Decor Theme, and all of the other important details.
We chose to have the wedding in Cincinnati since that's where both of our families are from. When we started venue searching, Anderson Pavilion was the first venue we saw and we immediately fell in love with it. Anderson Pavilion had glass walls, incredible views of the Ohio River while nestled against the Cincinnati skyline, and it had a carousel! Our vision for the ceremony was based off the venue since it was set up for a ton of natural light so we opted for a bright, white, traditional décor with a boho touch. B3 Decor took our vision and executed beyond our wildest dreams.
What did your guests particularly love about your Wedding?
When Sourabh and I were planning our wedding, we knew that we wanted to make it a memorable experience for everyone involved. We had been together for eleven years and had grown up as a couple in front of our family and friends. So, we wanted to create an experience that not only celebrated our love, but also celebrated our guests.
We chose B3Events as our planning team and worked with their team member, Vini Desai. Vini was with us every step of the way and helped us create an experience that our guests still talk about. Our guests were also blown away by the decor that B3Events arranged.
The other memorable element for our guests was the food prepared by Taj Mahal from Pittsburgh. They pulled together an extensive menu full of variety which included chaat items for our sangeet, Aam panna to sip on during the ceremony, and a traditional Gujarati and Marathi lunch, complete with undhiyu, shrikhand, and poori!
Was there a really special moment in your wedding that constantly replays in your mind?
Vini and the B3 team always made sure Sourabh and I had a private venue reveal before each event to see the decor, look at the set up, and just have a moment to ourselves. When we first walked into the sangeet, I remember my jaw dropping at the decor, the stunning lighting and realizing in that moment the we are finally here, the party starts now!
For events other than your ceremony, please tell us as much as you would like about the decor, style, dances, and all the special details.
For our reception, we opted for a "speakeasy" theme with dark reds and blues for the color pallette as an homage to New York City. Our cake from A Spoon Fulla Sugar had brush stroked painted in oranges and reds, and B3 set up candelabra-style candles and table settings. After dinner, we moved all of our guests outside to the pavilion terrace where Sourabh and I did our first dance, followed by dancing under the stars and city skyline, a truly magical experience.
Do you have any words of wisdom for Brides-To-Be?
Finding the balance between budget, family opinions, your personal vision, and overall logistics is really tough! But making sure that you're listening to your gut and making the decisions that feel right for you and your fiancé should be priority. Your family and friends just want to celebrate you, so don't put too much pressure on yourself to pull everything together!
