Photographers
Sunny Dhiman is truly a celebrity photographer in every sense of the word, yet with a humility that speaks volumes. His artistry behind the lens is unmatched, but what touched us most was the compassion and care he brought to our wedding journey. With my mother hospitalized for dengue at the time, I was not in the state of mind to pose or “get clicked,” but Sunny Sir and his incredible team stood by me with patience, understanding, and quiet strength. They were there through every high and low, grounding me and helping me find my feet when I needed it most. I can honestly say I relied more on Sunny Sir, his team, and my planners Shikha ji and Michael ji than even family during that time — and it was true bliss to have them by my side. His wife, the real pillar behind it all, is every bit a part of the magic; together they form a duo that brings not just professionalism but heart into their work. While the wedding videos are the only thing pending (and we are not rushing them), I know they will be worth the wait. Sunny Dhiman is an artist and a human being par execllensce and I couldn’t have asked for anyone better to capture the most important days of my life. He was present at every shoot, every moment, and is supremely hard-working and giving as a person.
Venues
Forest Hill Resort is a truly picturesque and classic venue — lush, green, and serene, it felt like the perfect canvas for our wedding. The arrangements were beautiful, the caterers exceeded expectations, and dealing with the owners, Mr. Naveen Sidhu and his team, was a fabulous experience. Mr. Karan, the manager, was extremely helpful and hands-on throughout, which we really appreciated. That said, the washroom facilities could definitely be improved, and a disappointing moment came when Gokul’s team, who the resort promotes, suddenly hiked rates at the last minute — even asking for 8 lakhs extra on the morning of my wedding for a mirror aisle we had already agreed upon, which was very sad. Still, the resort itself was everything we could have wished for — elegant, natural, and unforgettable.
Wedding Planners
Shikha and Michael: The Dream Team You Didn't Know You Needed If you're looking for wedding planners who will go beyond making your big day perfect and actually make the entire experience joyful and stress-free, look no further than Shikha and Michael. They are not just planners; they are dream-makers. From the moment we started working with them, it felt like they were family. Their incredible patience and calm demeanor are exactly what every couple needs during the chaotic days of wedding planning. No matter how big or small the challenge, they handled it with grace, empathy, and a smile that could melt all your worries away. Shikha and Michael have this magical ability to understand your vision—even when you can’t fully articulate it yourself—and bring it to life in ways you could never have imagined. They pay attention to every detail and, more importantly, to YOU. It felt like they genuinely cared about us, our story, and our happiness, not just the logistics of the wedding. What truly sets them apart is how they make you feel supported every step of the way. You’ll never feel like “just another client” with them. They work with their hearts, and it shows in every decision they make, every suggestion they offer, and every problem they solve. Thanks to Shikha and Michael, our wedding was not just a celebration—it was an unforgettable dream come true. If you're reading this and considering working with them, don’t think twice. They don’t just plan weddings; they create magic. With all our love and gratitude, Divyashri
Bridal Makeup Artists
Suhani Chopra did a wonderful job with my looks for the sangeet and wedding — I truly loved how everything came together and appreciated the time and effort she put into making me feel beautiful. For the reception, my family wasn’t as fond of the final look, and since she had other commitments that day, I did feel a little rushed and my draping wasn’t as polished as I had hoped, which was a bit tricky once photos began. That being said, I deeply value that she still made the time for me despite her busy schedule. One small area of disappointment was that my mother couldn’t get her makeup done by Suhani as planned, yet we were charged for both functions. It would have been nice if either only the token amount had been retained or the service postponed for a future function. Overall, Suhani is talented, professional, and very good at what she does — I’m grateful for her contribution to my wedding and wish her the best always.
