I came to weddings from two directions. The first was a business degree, project management training and years running supply chains, which is where the timelines come from, and the habit of knowing where every delivery is before anyone asks. The second was a decade on hospitality floors, where a hundred things happen at once and every guest should feel like the only one, which is where the rest comes from. Along the way I planned and ran events, the Peterborough Folk Festival among them, and weddings that brought two families and two languages into one room, and learned that a plan is only as good as the people carrying it on the day. I am certified through the Wedding Planners Institute of Canada; the rest, reading a room and noticing what someone needs before they say it, the floors taught me.

Growing up in a Gujarati family, a wedding was always around the corner. A few years ago, at the wedding of someone close to me, I watched the bride hold up her own day, every vendor, every cousin, every cue, and do it beautifully. She should not have had to. That is the job I chose: to be the one who carries it, so you can be in your day.

Bhoomi Jani Weddings is a small team with one standard. A lead planner on every wedding, a second lead when the wedding runs over several days, and people on the floor who have worked beside me before. Design is done in-house, so the look of a wedding and the running of it come from the same room. One wedding at a time, and we are in the room for it.

Your wedding will feel like you. Your family will be thought of before they think to ask. And on the day, you will be a guest at your own wedding, because the people running it will be us.
