Wedding Venue
With beachside festivities in mind, the couple’s dream destination was Goa. However, upon reflection on guest logistics, they decided to host the wedding in their home city of Mumbai. The glorious sea views of The Resort in Madh Marve provided them the tropical vibes they desired for their Haldi and Engagement, while JW Marriott Sahar was their venue of choice for their grand Sangeet and Wedding.

Wedding Planning
The team of Center Point Event was entrusted with the task of planning the wedding. Talking about their experience, the couple shares, “The wedding was a grand success, and we were thrilled with the outcome. The attention to detail and the intricate decorations were a testament to the hard work and dedication of Team Centre Point Events. We were incredibly impressed by the creativity that went into every aspect of the event. We loved how they took our ideas and turned them into a beautiful reality, and the way the different themes seamlessly blended.”
