Once Upon A Time

I think 5 stars is an understatement to their quality of work. Swathi and Akshay are simply mindblowing. Despite us not being in India, they both handled everything so meticulously. They truly listened to us and what vision we had in mind, all while giving us their own feedback to ensure that our special day was beyond our imagination. I would easily recommend them to anyone who is looking for perfection with being at peace at the same time because that's what they do - they handle it all SO SO SO WELL that you're 24/7 at peace. They easily became good friends of ours and we are so super grateful we found them!

Writing this review about 2 years after our wedding. My wife and I were very particular about the kind of wedding we wanted - right from passing on cookie cutter options that the decorator provided us with to having a particular kind of live music at our wedding. Despite being across three different time zones, Akshay and Swathi worked with us, promptly responding with solutions to every challenge and wish we threw towards them. When we landed in India, they sat with us in meetings with decorators, advocating for what we wanted, while making things work within our budget. When we thought something was amiss, they took feedback in the right stride and made changes. My highlight was Swathi making the decorators re-do the height of the mandap at 6:30am of the wedding knowing that some flower hangings would have bumped into some of our taller relatives - all while not delaying the mahurat. The added surprise is that Akshay is great with hosting or opening! 10/10 would recommend to couples that both - know what they want or want someone to completely manage and deliver a memorable experience.

Swati/ Akshay Where do I start from!! By giving OUAT 5 stars!! NO....u guys deserve 7 stars!!⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐( Swati/ Akshay kindly note?)

Hi, I'm Jason, Leah's husband. Swathi and Akshay reached out to us asking for a review, and we were happy to share one. However, Leah feels it's important to make sure they get as many reviews as possible, and I agree with her. While I’m not great with words like Leah, I truly think Swathi and Akshay have been a huge help to us. They've been amazing throughout the entire process. From the beginning, they've been professional, understanding, and made sure everything went smoothly. Leah was happy with everything they did, and I definitely second everything she said. I’d absolutely recommend them to anyone planning a wedding. They made our day special, and I have no doubt they'll do the same for anyone else.

I am so incredibly grateful for the amazing experience we had with our wedding planners, OUAT. My now husband, Jason, and I had the most beautiful Christian wedding, and I can honestly say that it wouldn’t have been possible without their expert guidance, unwavering support, and attention to every little detail. Initially, we were unsure about moving forward with OUAT, as we noticed their sample contract seemed tailored for Hindu weddings, not Christian ones. This made us hesitate, but we decided to give them the benefit of the doubt and scheduled a call. And let me tell you, that call was a game-changer. It quickly became clear that OUAT knew more about Christian wedding traditions and rituals than even our own families! They were so thorough in understanding our needs and ensuring that every detail was in line with the beautiful Christian practices we wanted to incorporate into our special day. From the moment we began working with OUAT, they were nothing short of amazing. They helped us with everything from the logistics to the RSVP process, and even the design of our wedding decor. Everything was executed flawlessly, and we couldn’t have asked for a more seamless experience. Their attention to detail was unparalleled, and the love and care they put into each aspect of the wedding made it truly unforgettable. I want to give a special shout-out to Raveena, my personal "shadow" and lifesaver throughout the entire process. Raveena was literally by my side every step of the way. She knew exactly what I wanted before I even had to ask. Her calm and reassuring presence helped ease my nerves, and she made everything look effortless. I honestly don’t know what I would have done without her! Jason also had his shadow, Nisarag, who was just as amazing. And we were blessed to have Mayuri, my family’s shadow, and Priyanka, Jason’s family’s shadow. Each one of them played an integral role in making our day perfect, and we are beyond thankful for their support. The entire team at OUAT deserves a massive round of applause for executing everything flawlessly. They took our vision and brought it to life in a way that exceeded our wildest expectations. From the first meeting to the last dance, they were there for us every step of the way, and we truly felt like they were part of our family. If you're looking for a wedding planning team that not only understands Christian wedding rituals but also knows how to bring your dreams to life with grace and precision, look no further than OUAT. They truly are a blessing, and I am so thankful that we chose them to help us create the wedding of our dreams!

We were initially unsure about hiring a wedding planner from India for our wedding in Bali, but looking back, I can confidently say that we made the best decision. Swathi and Akshay, you are absolutely the best planners we could have asked for, and we are beyond grateful for everything you did for us! If you've seen Band Baaja Baaraat, you'll know the kind of magic I'm talking about – and Swathi and Akshay are the real-life equivalent of that! From the moment they stepped in, they took charge and transformed our vision into a reality, with impeccable attention to detail, creativity, and flawless execution.

He had the crowd swept off their feet and ensured everyone had the time of their lives. Their ability to handle every aspect of the event, from logistics to the atmosphere, was remarkable. We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better team. Whether it's a wedding in Bali or anywhere else in the world, we wholeheartedly recommend Swathi and Akshay. Trust me, you won’t regret it. They’re not just wedding planners – they’re creators of unforgettable experiences. Thank you both for making our wedding the dream we always envisioned!

**To the Best Wedding Planners,** Sakshi and I can’t thank you enough for everything you’ve done for us. We were so nervous about planning our intercaste wedding, especially with all the challenges and resistance from our families. Initially, the idea of hiring a wedding planner wasn’t accepted at all. But once they met you both, everything changed. Your warmth, understanding, and professionalism made them fall in love with you, just as we did! You didn’t just plan our wedding—you made our lives so much easier and ensured every moment was unforgettable. We’ll forever be grateful to you for making this journey so smooth and special. We’re 100% recommending you to everyone we know. Thank you for turning our dream wedding into a reality! With love and gratitude, Pankaj
