“Flowers don’t worry over how they’re going to bloom. They just open up and turn toward the light, and that’s what makes them beautiful.” 🌼✨ - Jim Carrey

🔥 **"5 Essential Wedding Lighting Effects to transform your event!"** 🔥

Every wedding is unique, but the right lighting can elevate it to unforgettable. As experts in South Asian weddings, we blend tradition with modern flair. Here are the top 5 lighting effects that can transform your venue:

1. **Uplights**: Highlight the architecture and features of your venue, adding depth and dimension.

2. **Washes for Your Dance Floor and Stage**: Illuminate main events and set the tone for the evening. The stage and dance floor are the biggest points of real estate at the event, and the couple deserves to be in the spotlight at all times.

3. **Pinspots**: Precision lighting that focuses on specific elements, like centerpieces or decor.

4. **Pattern Projection**: Make a statement with intricate mandalas or personalized monograms.

5. **Intelligent Lighting**: Dynamic lights that move, change colors, and create patterns. They can be elegant, but also have the ability to create the energy and vibe of a nightclub.

Remember, lighting isn't just about visibility; it's about creating an atmosphere, a memory, a moment that lasts forever. Trust us to bring your vision to life. 💡🎉

The Hindu wedding ceremony actually starts before the bride enters. Ganesha is the remover of all obstacles and this ceremony blesses the groom and invokes Ganesha’s blessings in removing obstacles. When having fun with our clients we call this ceremony the “ex-girlfriend” pooja. Those bad vibes aren’t coming into this marriage!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

A fun wedding isn't about how much money the organizers spend.

It's about doing the right thing for the right reasons.

One of those reasons is spending quality time with the people who are excited to spend time with you.

I've been to too many weddings where I hardly saw the couple, although the buffet and flat screens were cool...I guess.

What makes a fun wedding for you?

Your honest guide on how to have and plan a fun wedding that guests can't stop talking about.

Los Angeles is one of the best cities to host a celebration weekend.

✔️ Great sunshine.
✔️ Vacation destination for guests
✔️ Sun sand and sky.

As someone who has been entertaining at thousands of events, I can tell you a fun wedding on Southern California need not be an expensive one.

There's one thing above all us that makes a fancy wedding a successful one.

❌ It's not showing off or the sweetest deserts (although chocolate helps).

❌ It's not the best entertainment or outfits (although hey, we love to help too).

❌ It's not trying to keep up with the Jones's (or Sharma Ji Am I RIGHT?)

✅ It's keeping things short and simple, while well thought out.

✅ It's knowing that a few memorized speeches of 3 minutes each will be appreciated more than a 20 minute speech read of a paper.

✅ It's knowing that the guests are also meant to be celebrated and thought of.

✅ It's knowing what to spend on but also what to avoid.

I put this detailed guide together for all our clients in LA, and it's a long one.

But I know spending fifteen minutes to read this will do wonders for anyone planning the special day.
