Antara was one of the first choices, coz we had worked with her for my wedding, but we did explore other options. We met with a couple of other Wedding planners, none with the same enthusiasm and comfort level as Antara. She was easy to talk to and she got what they meant even thought our ideas were vague and hints were way out there. She was able to hold the middle ground between the perfectionist Mom, and over zealous sister of the groom for planning each and every detail of the wedding. Like most bohri weddings go, this one had a lot of functions. Each meal was planned as event in itself. Right from the theme to food to the set up. The idea was to give the guests a different experience each time. So that meant converting the Hall/ Venue to something completely new and to transport the guest to a new place with the décor and the food. Now that was a challenge right from the start. But to add to the complications of the wedding, there were 3 different venues, in 3 very different parts of the city, guests had to be moved to all of these venues and time management was critical. The wedding guest list was snug, when you compare to what Indian Weddings have, but that being said, Antara’s team had to execute 4 different themes, different décor, floral arrangements, colour schemes, seating arrangements, different food caterers, different vibe and music with in a short span of 2 days. The wedding guest were first welcomed to a traditional south Indian stlye décor, and food completed with the nariyalwala stall, and a cute beach boat photo booth. Then the guest were treated to a complete different starry night themed reception, with all details excecuted to the T. The theme demanded the stage with props, a photo booth, the lighting, the music and poetry to tie it all together. While bringing all of this together, Antara also managed to diffuse the emergency MC situation for the event next morning, She was on conference call right till 2 AM coordinating games and program details with the MC. Her team managed to put together every single thing needed for the games decided just that night by 10AM in the morning. she and her team toiled on in the venue right through the wee hours and had every single thing set for the Punjabi theme, complete with all the vibrant colours, the food carts, the chat walas, the the dhool wala, and mirrors sprewn all over the lawn. She was even able to arrange for a projector and screen within hours. Antara and her team did an exceptional job with the main wedding event décor, where the theme was Rustic English charm, they took care of everything. The entry way, the old doors to act as partitions, creating a canopy to give an in the woods sort of feel in the wedding hall. The décor was spectacular, all within a very specific and repeatedly negotiated budget. Next morning the same hall that had now seen 2 complete transformations of south Indian and Punjabi theme was redone perfectly to a Mediterranean – Santorini theme. They didn’t just make themes happen, and disappear. They were always there when there was anything that the family needed. Their team took care of the guests right till the end. Antara was the perfect planner. Wedding are often times where emotions are high, anger, panic, confusion everything simple becomes clouded with multifolds of drama. Antara with her smile and can do attitude, just breezed through all of it and managed to get everything just right.
