Our Couples

“Aneesa and her team are the most incredible people!! They know the ins and out of everything wedding related and I could not imagine having the most perfect day without them. Anytime there was something to be fixed or helped with, they were the first ones there for us. They are super organized and helped run our whole day as promised! They are also experts in fusion weddings and are very knowledgable about south asian traditions, which I greatly appreciated! If you need someone to help with the final details or plan from the ground up, look no further!! One of the best teams to work with.” - Natasha & Andrew, June 2021

Full-Service Wedding

Weekend Planning

It is common for Indian & South Asian weddings to have multiple events spread across many days and venues. Oftentimes, there are 40+ vendors involved, 10+ meals, and thousands of details to manage. Our full-service wedding planning allows couples and families to enjoy every minute of the fast pace weekend without stressing about the details.

We support you from start to finish, along with a team of Harmony team members weekend-of. This is the perfect match for couples who:

1. Have demanding jobs with no time to send thousands of emails and take multiple days off work for vendor meetings!

2. Live out-of-town/not in the same town as where their wedding will take place!

3. Want to avoid the stress of handling all the details on your own- especially with challenging family dynamics in play!

Curious of what the planning process looks like with our Full-Service Planning Package? Here is a quick overview:

1. Budget Analysis - Oftentimes, one of the biggest stressors is setting a budget! Our team develops a 100+ line spreadsheet of every weekend expense. This allows us to develop a clear vision and expectations with the entire family before diving into planning.

2. Dreaming & Design- We kick our planning process off with a day of dreaming up the look and feel of each event of your wedding weekend. It all begins with getting to know you, individually and as a couple, in order to design a weekend that represents who you are. We then dive into colors, linens, florals, and so much more!

3. Bringing Your Vision to Life- We then get to work designing and present to you a detailed design plan! We show you exactly how we will bring your vision to life and introduce you to the dream team who can make it happen. We handle all vendor communication- emails, calls and meetings. But don’t worry, you still get to do all the fun parts like menu and cake tastings!

4. Monthly Check-Ins- As the wedding approaches, we have monthly check-in calls to share updates, answer any questions, and guide you through the few tasks we cannot handle on your behalf such as selecting your first dance song and making a family photo list.

5. Final Details- In the final months, we take care of all the last minute details! From mailing invitations and tracking RSVPs to assembling hotel welcome bags and personalized favors. Once your final guest count is in, we adjust all the necessary contracts including catering head count, rentals and floral orders.

6. Weekend-Of Coordination- We “move in” to the hotel with you and your loved ones to be fully available throughout the weekend. We set up, oversee vendors, welcome guests, coordinate and clean up for each and every event. We stay by your side ensuring you are fed and have a drink in your hand, enjoying every moment of your wedding weekend!

“Aneesa from Harmony Weddings was the best decision we made for our wedding and for our lives. We had what felt like a fairy tale wedding and gained a lifelong friend. As organized and planning forward people, we thought we could manage all that comes with putting together an Indian wedding. However, we very quickly realized that we needed help given our busy work schedules. We NEVER could have imagined how dramatic a difference having an incredible wedding planner would be. We initially hired Aneesa for weekend of coordination but almost instantly moved to full service planning after understanding her added value. As an Indian couple from different parts of India with events spanning 5 days, it was important for us to have someone who can learn and manage all the cultural traditions from our parents and relatives while still incorporating a modern feel that felt true to us.

To say that Aneesa far exceeded our expectations is an understatement. She was constantly open to learning about our religion and culture while still taking time to understand who we are as a couple and merge the two into beautiful events. Her and her team seamlessly coordinated with 50+ vendors during a very difficult time in the pandemic. Our guests cannot stop gushing at how fluid and effortless the weekend was. Aneesa was able to maintain such a relaxed environment while being firm when needed to keep things running on time. She immersed herself in each event from her beautiful Indian outfits to performing with us at our Sangeet. Our family and friends are waiting to hire her for their next family wedding. We cannot thank Harmony Weddings enough for the relief, joy and perfection they provided us during one of the most special times of our lives. Thank you Thank you Thank you.”- Shantha & Aneesh, May 2021
