Welcome to Maharani Weddings

If there were ever a wedding that perfectly embodied the beauty of blending cultures, it would be Amrita & Jameson’s spectacular South Asian fusion wedding. With a whirlwind of colors, heartfelt traditions, and jaw-dropping decor, their wedding was nothing short of a dream. And let’s be honest—there’s something undeniably magical about seeing a groom rock a sherwani with as much confidence as he does a tuxedo.

Amrita, a radiant bride with an eye for elegance, and Jameson, a groom who fully embraced South Asian traditions, proved that love knows no boundaries. Set against the stunning backdrops of Paradise Cove, the Gurdwara, and Marq Southlake, their wedding journey was an exquisite blend of traditions, emotions, and jaw-dropping fashion moments. It was a night to remember between the high-energy dance performances, heartfelt speeches, and a flash mob that surprised the couple (yes, we’re looking at you, Jameson’s groomsmen).

The couple’s Gurdwara ceremony was steeped in tradition, love, and many of happy tears. Jameson made a regal entrance in an ivory sherwani, complete with a deep red turban and a ceremonial sword. Talk about making a statement! But the real moment that had everyone swooning? When he laid eyes on Amrita in her stunning deep red bridal lehenga, intricately embroidered with gold. The way they looked at each other? Pure cinematic perfection.

The grand finale unfolded at Marq Southlake, where the reception was a perfect mix of elegance and electric energy. The ballroom, decked out in Elegant Affair’s floral mastery, looked like something straight out of a royal wedding Pinterest board. Events by Rama ensured every detail, from the exquisite decor to the perfectly timed speeches, went off without a hitch. Amrita switched into a stunning ivory lehenga, exuding modern elegance, while Jameson turned heads in a classic black tuxedo.

Dreaming of a destination wedding? Shabnam & Kynan’s big day is Platinum Guide Blog perfection!

How did you meet your Groom and when did you know he was "the one"?
Our first date was truly unforgettable! We both enjoy staying active, so it was only natural that we met at an indoor rock climbing and bouldering gym in Atlanta. There was an immediate connection. We enjoyed getting to know each other and bonded over our British and Welsh upbringings as well as our love of food. I still recall Kynan's playful quip as we signed the bouldering consent form, "It's time to sign our lives away!" Little did we know that lighthearted moment foreshadowed our future, as we indeed signed our marriage license years later. From the very beginning, I felt an extraordinary sense of peace and comfort in his presence. And yes, I must confess, I was also charmed by the impeccable cleanliness of his car, his neatly hung dry-cleaning, fully stocked kitchen, and worldly knowledge – a glimpse into his dynamic and responsible nature. Every interaction we had following our first date strengthened the feelings we were both developing. I knew he was "the one" when he arranged a surprise couples massage after a long work week and showed me the stylish baby Zara clothes he bought for his friend's newborn. He is, without a doubt, the most considerate and thoughtful man I know, a quality that shines brighter with each passing day.

Share the scoop on your Proposal Story!
A whisper of anticipation fluttered within me as Memorial Day weekend approached. Kynan, with his characteristic air of delightful mystery, had asked me to request time off. In the months leading up to this, he dropped hints, playfully leading me astray from his intended plans. He orchestrated a pampering session with my dearest girlfriends, a prelude to our adventure, and instructed me to pack for five days while still leaving my destination unknown. Naturally, my overpacking instincts kicked into high gear! He handled every detail with effortless grace, from checking me in, to escorting me through the airport from gate to gate (another distraction tactic), until we were finally boarding a flight to Boston! This city holds a treasure trove of cherished memories for us, a testament to our enduring love during two years of long-distance while I completed my surgical fellowship training and MPH degree at Harvard. We checked in to the Fairmont in Copley Plaza, across from my old apartment in Back Bay. We spent the day revisiting our favorite city sights and reliving the milestones of our journey. Kynan proposed along the Charles River at our favorite hammock spot. Our celebration continued at Tresca in the North End (another special place for us), and the joy was amplified the following day with the arrival of my sister. It was a weekend woven with romance, nostalgia, and the promise of a beautiful future together.

What did your guests particularly love about your Wedding?
For two introverted souls seeking a genuine connection, our wedding weekend was designed to celebrate love while honoring the comfort of our cherished guests. Our beautiful wedding venue, Garza Blanca, is culinary all-inclusive with delicious food, luxurious amenities, and an intimate feel. We intentionally crafted a leisurely schedule, and some of our favorite memories from the weekend include casual run-ins with our loved ones around the hotel grounds. Our guests loved having time to explore the resort and all that Los Cabos has to offer. Many guests arrived early and stayed after the wedding festivities. Guests embarked on adventures ranging from thrilling spear-fishing and jet skiing to serene cruises alongside the iconic Cabo Arch. Couples celebrated their blossoming families with "baby moons," while family members were able to spend quality time together and reunite with loved ones from abroad. Witnessing our loved ones create their own cherished memories while celebrating ours was truly the ultimate gift – a perfect blend of celebration and serene escape.

Do you have any words of wisdom for Brides-To-Be?
It sounds cliche, but savor every moment! Stay true to yourself and what you envision, and don't sweat the small stuff. While there are definitely stressful parts to wedding planning, and people won't always see eye-to-eye throughout the process, it really does all work out in the end. Looking back, I cherish the unexpected gift of connection that wedding planning afforded me. My mother, though physically distant, was a constant presence, joining virtually for almost every Zoom call with planners and vendors. Since moving away from home, our time together has become a treasured commodity. Sharing the excitement and anticipation of this momentous occasion strengthened our bond in a way I hadn't anticipated.

A dreamy blend of tradition, luxury, and beachfront magic, leaving us all in awe! See you soon.

When Marilyn & Alex set out to plan their wedding, they weren't just envisioning a beautiful day—they were crafting an unforgettable experience. And where better to bring this vision to life than the breathtaking, history-soaked ruins of Convento Capuchinas in Antigua, Guatemala? Their Indian Orthodox wedding blended timeless traditions, heartfelt moments, and jaw-dropping aesthetics into a celebration with every guest swooning.

Marilyn's wedding prep wasn't just about hair and makeup—it was a full-on queen moment. Vilma Coy Bridal Beauty Pro worked their magic, ensuring she looked radiant as she entered her exquisite bridal ensemble. Meanwhile, Alex suited up, knowing his bride was about to steal the show.

With its towering archways and sun-drenched stone walls, the historic venue set the perfect stage for Marilyn & Alex's vows. Auguro Weddings captured every glance, tear, and stolen smile as the couple sealed their love in a heartfelt ceremony. If there was ever a moment that defined Pinterest-worthy, this was it. After the emotional 'I dos,' the festivities kicked into high gear. The reception—also held at Convento Capuchinas—was a masterclass in elegance and energy, flawlessly executed by the incredible team at Saguzo. Every detail screamed romance, from the jaw-dropping décor to the soft candlelit glow.

Then came the grand entrance. With David Son GT providing live music and the beats of Batucada by Live Productions GT electrifying the air, Marilyn & Alex waltzed into their reception like they owned the night (which, let's be real, they did). Guests danced across a dazzling floor by Ambience Events GT, fueled by spirits from Vinoteca GT and pure wedding-day euphoria.

What's a party without a few surprises? From an epic photobooth experience by THE Moment Booth to sweet delights courtesy of Sofia Cobian, every moment was filled with joy, laughter, and sugar (the holy trinity of celebrations). And let's talk about those ultra-chic rentals from Relaxed Lounge Service, City Rentals, Úniquo Guatemala, and Unik Decor Rentals—because nothing says luxury like the perfect seating arrangement.

This wedding was more than stunning—it was a fusion of tradition, love, and joy.

When love knows no boundaries, magic happens—and Neva & John’s wedding in the heart of Guanajuato, Mexico, was nothing short of magical. A perfect blend of regal Indian traditions and breathtaking Mexican landscapes, their wedding was an opulent affair that could easily be the next Bollywood blockbuster (with a Hollywood twist!).

The festivities kicked off with a vibrant Sangeet at the Instituto Allende, where Neva stunned in a Sabyasachi Heritage Collection lehenga that shimmered with every twirl on the dance floor. John, channeling his inner maharaja, looked dapper in an intricately embroidered sherwani. With Andres Dehehsa spinning the beats, guests danced under a canopy of marigolds, setting the tone for the celebrations ahead.

From the grand floral installations by Angelica Solache to the seamless execution of every dreamy detail, Penzi Weddings orchestrated this multi-day spectacle with unparalleled finesse. Their expertise in blending Neva & John’s vision into an awe-inspiring reality was evident in every intricate decor element, every perfectly timed moment, and every jaw-dropping reveal. Whether the elegant Mehndi ceremony at Casa Cece & Fatima 7 or the grand wedding at Hacienda San Luis Gonzaga, Penzi Weddings ensured that every setting was nothing short of cinematic.

The air was thick with emotion as Neva glided into the room in a Romona Keveza gown (purchased from Casa de Novia Bridal). Her father’s teary-eyed reaction was a testament to the love and pride he felt at that moment—one captured beautifully by the talented lens of Valeria Bross and Kas Vizcaino (because when your wedding is this stunning, you need both digital and film photography!).

A lush floral mandap framed the couple as they exchanged vows against a backdrop of rolling hills and centuries-old architecture. Guests, dressed in a harmonious palette of creams and golds, watched as Neva & John sealed their love with a kiss, their smiles shining brighter than the chandeliers at the after-party.

From the romantic first dance to the energetic beats of DJ Omar, the reception was a dazzling affair where every guest became a star on the dance floor. And let’s not forget Neva’s after-party transformation—stepping out in a Tarun Tahiliani jumpsuit that screamed ‘chic and ready to party!’ This power couple radiated pure elegance with John’s Rolex Yacht-Master glistening under the lights and Cartiercufflinks adding the finishing touch.

The fusion of two cultures & the heartfelt personal touches —this wedding was one for the books!

Some love stories are written in the stars, but Maria & Chris's began across the hall in a freshman dorm at Hofstra University. From college sweethearts to life partners, their journey led to a breathtaking fusion of cultures in a spectacular Indian wedding in East Brunswick.

Maria & Chris' wedding wasn't just a one-day affair but a grand, multi-day celebration that combined tradition, glamour, and nonstop fun. The couple started with a tropical disco-themed Sangeet at Edgewood Country Club, where vibrant florals, dazzling disco balls, and colorful outfits made for an unforgettable night. The energy was electric as their bridal party, and family put on epic performances, setting the tone for what was to come.

A wedding like this doesn't just happen—it's the result of an A-team of vendors executing perfection at every turn. The masterminds behind the seamless planning and flawless execution were the Detailed Affairs Team, who brought their expertise to every single moment, ensuring that Maria & Chris's vision was flawlessly executed. As for the decor, think elegant luxury meets modern romance.The Productions Agency transformed the space into a dreamscape of white florals with pops of blue and gold, mirroring the couple's classic-meets-contemporary aesthetic.

The wedding day itself was a fairytale. Maria & Chris honored their traditions by having two stunning ceremonies in one day. The Hindu ceremony took place in the lush gardens of Park Chateau, under a breathtaking mandap adorned with cascading roses in shades of red, pink, and white. Maria made a visionary bride in a monochromatic cherry-red lehenga, bringing modern elegance to this sacred tradition.

If there was ever a wedding reception that redefined 'party of the year,' this was it. DJ USA Events, alongside DJs Juicy, KKV, and Karan, kept the dance floor packed all night long. MC Marco Glorious ensured the energy never dipped, and even the groom got in on the action—Chris made a grand entrance wielding a CO2 gun, hyping up the crowd in true Bollywood-meets-Hollywood style! It was the perfect setting for heartfelt speeches, emotional first dances, and a stunning cake from Calandra's Bakery that looked too good to eat.

This grand wedding deserves to be captured in a way that tells the whole story, and Diego Stuart Films did just that. With cinematic brilliance, they documented every heartfelt glance, every joyful tear, and every dance-floor moment in stunning detail. J'adore Love Photography turned every glance, twirl, and candid laugh into breathtaking works of art. Their ability to encapsulate emotions through the lens is nothing short of extraordinary, preserving Maria & Chris's big day in a timeless way.

How did you meet your Groom and when did you know he was "the one"?
We met our freshman year of college at Hofstra University in New York (September 2013). Chris and I lived directly across the hall from each other in the dorms. We met the first week of school and immediately connected. Here we are over 11 years later!

Share the scoop on your Proposal Story!
One of our favorite places to travel together is Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, where my family owns a vacation home. We started going here during college, and it has been many times since. Chris decided to propose Brookgreen Gardens in South Carolina, which is a gorgeous outdoor botanical garden with sculptures and lights. Chris proposed on the night of June 10, 2023, under the beautiful oak trees. Both of our parents came out to surprise me. We all went to a celebratory family dinner together afterward, and it was a perfect day!

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 had a big wedding that included multiple days of events. The wedding planning process was very involved, but the team of vendors we had made sure that everything was executed to perfection. Our team was absolutely fabulous.

We had our Sangeet at Edgewood Country Club in NJ. We had a tropical disco theme, and the venue and staff were awesome. We had such a fun night to kick off our wedding, and everyone had a good time!

Our wedding day, July 27, 2024, was at Park Chateau Estate and Gardens in NJ. On our wedding day, we actually had two ceremonies in one day: a Hindu Ceremony in the outdoor gardens and a traditional Western ceremony in the Chapel. We followed the ceremonies with a reception and after-party, all held right at the venue. I truly mean it when I say you cannot find a more gorgeous venue or better staff than at Park Chateau. The entire day was absolutely perfect, and we had the wedding of our dreams.-

How did you select your bridal lengha or wedding dress? Did you have a favorite color in mind?
I really wanted a monochromatic, modern lehenga for the Hindu ceremony. I went with a cherry red color, which turned out absolutely gorgeous. I also had a white wedding dress with a beautiful lace train and cathedral veil for our traditional ceremony. I changed into a beaded white dress with feathers for the reception.

What was the most enjoyable part of the planning process, and why?
Overall, I enjoyed the planning process because I am a very organized, Type A person. The best part was seeing our hard work and vision come to life at our events. Everything turned out perfect.

What did your guests particularly love about your Wedding?
I think that the beautiful venues, fun music, delicious food, and interesting decor all added to the guest experience. However, the vibes and energy at all of our events were so fun because of our friends and family who made our wedding incredible.

Was there a really special moment in your wedding that constantly replays in your mind?
There are so many amazing moments from our wedding day - it's hard to pick. Since we had two ceremonies, I would say that walking down the aisle (both times!) was so special and emotional.

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.
Our sangeet was cool since we had a tropical disco theme. We had disco balls and tropical florals. The decor and everyone's outfits were very colorful and exotic. Our bridal party and family put on performances, which were a big hit. This night was so much fun and enjoyable!

Our wedding day was a more traditional and classic. Our Mandap florals had shades of pink, red, and white roses, which complimented the beautifully landscaped gardens at Park Chateau. Our traditional ceremony and reception decor and florals were white, pops of light blue, and gold. Everything turned out beautifully.

Do you have any words of wisdom for Brides-To-Be?
It truly goes by so fast. Really try to enjoy the day and take in every moment that you can. Don't stress over the little details; no one will notice if something is slightly different than you planned for. Most importantly, enjoy your day with your new spouse and the people who love you.

The celebration may end, but the memories will last a lifetime and bring joy. Come back for more!
