Welcome to Maharani Weddings

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!

Step into a world where tradition meets timeless elegance, and you’ll immerse yourself in the enchanting wedding of Dimple & Nikhil in Nashua, New Hampshire. This Indian wedding was a symphony of vibrant colors, heartfelt moments, and an undeniable “Wow” factor. Let’s take a closer look at their magical day!

Nestled in the heart of Nashua, the Searles Castle was the perfect ceremony venue for a castle-theme wedding that made Dimple feel like an actual princess. Sheraton Nashua was the ultimate venue for Dimple & Nikhil’s grand reception. With its castle-like façade and sprawling greenery, this venue felt straight out of a fairytale. It offered the perfect blend of grandeur and warmth, making it an ideal location for an Indian wedding. Whether it was the dreamy outdoor mandap setup or the elegantly lit reception hall, every corner of this venue added charm to this special day. If you’re planning an Indian wedding, this venue checks all the boxes—ample space, breathtaking backdrops, and a team that understands the intricacies of cultural traditions.

Dimple’s bridal ensemble from Roop Saree Sadan was a masterpiece of traditional elegance and contemporary design. Draped in a dazzling maroon lengha with intricate embroidery, she was a vision of grace and beauty. The attention to detail in her outfit mirrored the meticulous wedding planning. Her jewelry sparkled as brightly as her smile, and the mehndi on her hands told stories of love and new beginnings.

Dimple & Nikhil’s wedding wouldn’t have been the spectacular affair it was without their incredible vendors. Aadhya Signature Events transformed the venue with breathtaking floral and decor arrangements, creating a space that was as vibrant as it was elegant. Maya Indian Bar & Grill delighted guests with authentic and flavorful dishes that had everyone returning for seconds (and thirds!). Silk Events set the tone with expert DJ and lighting services, ensuring the dance floor was packed all night. And, of course, Park Street Weddings captured every magical moment with stunning photography that will be cherished for generations.

Share the scoop on your Proposal Story!
The night Nikhil proposed was a magical surprise, especially since I had unknowingly chosen the date myself. I had planned a casual dinner with Nikhil, my brother, and my cousin, completely unaware that Nikhil had orchestrated a beautiful proposal with their help. The setting was Piers Park in East Boston, a breathtaking waterfront with the Boston skyline as our backdrop. Nikhil had arranged giant marquee letters spelling out our initials, N&D, and created a heartfelt scrapbook filled with our cherished memories. After a night of celebration, we whisked away to New York the next day for our dreamy "proposal-moon."

How did you select your bridal lengha or wedding dress? Did you have a favorite color in mind?
I always knew I wanted my bridal lengha to be different than the traditional gold and red. Designing my bridal look was one of the most thrilling parts of the wedding planning process. I opted for a dazzling maroon lengha adorned with shimmering silver accents. Instead of making the trip to India, I took a bold leap and ordered my lengha online. The entire experience was fantastic, and I couldn't have been happier with the final result! For an additional modern twist on my look, I chose not to wear a dupatta over my head and showcased my hairstyle. The guests were absolutely stunned by my unique look and couldn't stop complimenting my bold choices and elegant style. As an Indian-American, I embraced both cultures by wearing a traditional lengha for the ceremony and a white gown for the reception. My reception gown held a special place in my heart as my dad bought it for me as a surprise during his trip to India. I also wore jewelry gifted to me by my mother-in-law, adding a sentimental touch to my look.

What did your guests particularly love about your Wedding?
Our guests absolutely loved the castle venue, as it was incredibly unique! When you get married at a castle, you can't help but feel like a prince and princess. The setting created many opportunities for beautiful photos. Our castle-themed wedding was incorporated into many of the details throughout the weekend, such as table names and signs.

Was there a really special moment in your wedding that constantly replays in your mind?
Exchanging our vows in front of the castle was a special moment for us. Instead of the traditional tap on the back, we chose to stand back-to-back, recite our vows, and then turn around simultaneously. The anticipation of seeing each other was truly magical. This unique approach made our vows feel even more authentic and intimate, creating a dreamy and unforgettable experience.

Anything else you want to tell us? We'd love to hear all about your other details! (jewelry, mehndi, venue, cake, bouquets, etc.)
Embracing a modern twist on the traditional Indian wedding, we incorporated several unique elements that made our celebration special. Starting with the mehndi, my mehndi artist beautifully captured the Boston skyline (where Nikhil and I fell in love!), which became a conversation piece throughout the weekend. Then, for our haldi, we opted for a pink theme, which made the event vibrant. As a makeup artist, doing my own makeup for my wedding was the best decision I could have made. It was incredibly unique and special to create my bridal look, adding a personal touch to my big day. We chose to hold our wedding ceremony in the evening, followed by a lively sangeet night. Guests loved the intimate atmosphere and the chance to dance in celebration right after the ceremony. To end the night, my parents orchestrated the perfect vidaai (grand exit), with everyone standing on the sidelines holding sparklers. During our reception, we honored our moms with a special mother-son and mother-daughter dance performance. All of these little touches and special moments made the entire wedding experience memorable!

It is a tranquil lakeside venue, shimmering with the golden hues of sunset. Willowbrook Weddings in Valant, PA, provided the idyllic backdrop for Kaajal & Katy's celebration of love. This Indian LGBTQ+ wedding was not just a union but a jubilant fusion of tradition, modernity, and unapologetic joy that left everyone spellbound.

Kaajal & Katy's wedding was a breath of fresh air—literally and metaphorically. The couple's first look was nothing short of cinematic. Nestled under the cascading branches of a weeping willow, Katy turned to see Kaajal adorned in a stunning white and gold lehenga with intricate pink floral embroidery by Nazrana Anj. The moment was magic, a perfect mix of serenity and excitement. With delicate lace detailing, Katy's MB Bride gown complemented Kaajal's ensemble—a flawless pairing, much like the two brides themselves.

Their ceremony, set by the lake, combined heartfelt vows with a gorgeous floral mandap and Katy's bouquet crafted by Teton Wood Blooms. With the soft rustling of leaves and the occasional cheer from a delighted guest, Kaajal & Katy's union became the talk of Valant.

When you hear DJ Desibeatzs Entertainment, you'd better be ready to dance. The reception was a rhythmic whirlwind, with Desibeatzs masterfully blending Bollywood beats with Top 40 hits. From the newlyweds' first dance to their impromptu Bhangra performance, the night was an electrifying celebration of their diverse cultural backgrounds.

Holly Ferencuha Photography captured every candid laugh, every shared glance, and every tear of joy. The photos radiate warmth and authenticity, from the serene outdoor shots by the lake to the energetic dance floor snaps. And speaking of authentic moments, can we take a second to appreciate Katy's bold tattoo juxtaposed with her delicate lace gown? Absolute bridal goals.

Kaajal's bridal jewelry from Nazrana Anj Jewels was a dazzling nod to her Indian heritage. Wanderlust Beauty PGH and ZZbeauty PGH ensured both brides looked radiant, weaving together timeless elegance and contemporary flair. The wedding rings from Henne Jewelers symbolized a promise as enduring as the love that Kaajal & Katy share.

How did you meet your Wife and when did you know she was "the one"?
My wife and I met on Hinge and spoke on the phone the first night we started messaging. We met the very next day, and within 1 week, we knew we had met our person.

Share the scoop on your Proposal Story!
We were on a trip to Cancun, Mexico and I wanted to propose to Katy on the beach but I wanted it to be captured. I planned for a photography session, and when we made it to the beach, I proposed and it's all caught on camera!

Katy later proposed to me on a hotel rooftop, which completely caught me by surprise. It was raining a little, but she got clear umbrellas and it turned out perfectly. She even surprised me with my best friends being there!

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 started with our venue and very quickly found Willowbrook, with which we were immensely impressed. Everything else came along slowly, with the most difficult being hair and makeup. Of course, you want to look your absolute best, so finding the perfect people for the job was huge. We wanted our color theme to be based on my Indian outfit, as Katy's dress was going to be white, so finding my outfit early on was important. We traveled to New Jersey to make that happen so that we had more options!

How did you select your bridal lengha or wedding dress? Did you have a favorite color in mind?
We traveled to New Jersey to allow for more options and only went to a couple of stores before finding the perfect lengha. I tried on a few different ones, but once I put on that dress, it was clear. For Katy's dress, we went to a store in Pittsburgh where she tried on a few dresses and finally found the perfect one! We went together to both stores-- it meant a lot to us to be able to do this together.

Q. What did your guests particularly love about your Wedding?
The guests absolutely loved our dhol players and DJ. They loved the fun and atmosphere that was created. The venue stood out to a lot of our guests as the grounds are also beautiful there.

Was there a really special moment in your wedding that constantly replays in your mind?
Our entrance to the reception replays in my mind as there was so much energy and excitement throughout the venue. It was just so fun, and the DJ and dhol players truly made our night! We were so happy, and everyone was celebrating us. It felt incredible.

Do you have any words of wisdom for Brides-To-Be?
I would say that it is so important to do things the way you want them to be together. The whole process can be tiresome, but these details are what matters in the end, and being able to choose these things together is such a special time. Go with your heart and enjoy each moment of the day itself.

This wedding celebrated love in its purest form—inclusive, joyous, and utterly beautiful.

If there’s one thing we love, it’s a wedding that perfectly blends tradition with a modern twist, and Sanjana & Mark’s celebration in Chicago did exactly that! Their fusion wedding was a heartwarming blend of cultures, colors, and some serious party energy. From an electrifying baraat to a jaw-dropping reception entrance, this wedding had the Wow factor written all over it!

Sanjana looked nothing short of regal in her intricately designed bridal lengha, with her flawless hair and makeup courtesy of The Bridal Beauty Team, while Mark turned heads in a sherwani that screamed ‘Maharaja vibes only.’ The duo embodied the magic of blending cultures, proving that love knows no bounds—or wardrobe limitations! And let’s talk about that wedding hashtag: #sanjijoinstheteam. A clever nod to their journey together: we’re sure this one broke some Instagram engagement records!

Mark’s baraat was a full-blown blockbuster moment! With The DJ Firm leading the charge, this groom made an entrance that could rival any Bollywood hero. Picture a sea of joyous guests dancing, dhol beats reverberating, and Mark fully embracing his new role as an honorary Desi. It was loud, it was fun, and yes—it set the perfect tone for what was to come.

Under the stunning floral mandap designed by Flowerchild Floral & Event Design, Sanjana & Mark tied the knot in an intimate yet vibrant ceremony at Wildman BT. The setting was pure romance, with natural light flooding the space and bouncing off Sanjana’s bridal ensemble. Every moment was expertly captured by City Savvy Imaging, whose keen eye for detail and storytelling brought the wedding to life in every frame. Their ability to seamlessly blend candid emotions with breathtaking compositions turned the wedding album into a work of art, preserving each cherished moment in timeless elegance.

If the ceremony was about emotions, the reception was all about the party! Thanks to Wedicity Wedding Planning & Design, every detail was meticulously curated to ensure the night felt equal parts elegant and electrifying. From the grand entrance to the first dance, with everyone reaching for tissues, this was a night to remember.

From the exquisite florals to the decadent cake by Bitter Sweet Pastry, every vendor brought their A-game. Special shoutout to Food For Thought for curating a menu with guests returning for seconds (and thirds!).

Cheers to Sanjana & Mark. May your life together be a lifetime of love and laughter!
