(Scottsdale, The Biltmore) Raj & Nicole

Raj & Nicole..... where to begin? I have mentioned many times before how fortunate I am to be working for some of the greatest couples. One of them is Raj & Nicole. Since the initial meeting to the end of the reception, they were super easy-going, fun, and enthusiastic. Their high-energy sangeet which featured a testimonial video of their friends was one of the funniest things I have heard/watched at a wedding. The sangeet also featured great performances by friends, the groom, and his brother. The dancing portion was fantastic, a preview to how the reception was going to be. The reception featured a surprise performance by the groom and his groomsmen to the song "Poison" by Bell Biv DeVoe, which will forever remind me of their wedding. A fun-filled weekend, great food, great guests, great family and a great couple.

Their wedding was coordinated, decorated, and designed by the incredible Suzanne Taussig, floral design by Wild Child Floral Design, captured in photo and video by Sameer Soorma Studios at the Arizona Biltmore.  

(Paradise Valley, Sanctuary) Ariana & Deep

Weddings being my specialty, I always love when there is a very cool mix. One of the most unique ones have to be our wedding of Ariana & Amardeep, a Punjabi/Persian Wedding. The wedding kicked off with a ceremony featuring Sitar, Harmonium and Tabla players in a grass setup facing the ceremony with an altar under a tree with wooden chairs. The reception featured some of the most elegant decor by the lovely Suzanne Taussig. Every detail for this event was just perfect. The couple had the a great entrance song going into their first dance...which was a first and their guests were just some of the most fun people out there. The fusion between the culture was super heart-warming. Seeing all the Persians and Americans dancing to Punjabi music and watching all the Punjabis dance to Persian music super heart-warming. This is definitely a first and going in the books as one of the best weddings.

Divya & Peter

I do not even know where to begin about this event. So many changes, yet we made everything happen, delays yet we got everything in order, we overcame glitches and we took care of all that needed to be taken care of in the finest way we knew how. From the beginning of the inquiry, the clients were a pleasure to deal with. A very fun couple who were not just easy to work with, but very enthusiastic about the details of the event as well as our services. I knew from when we signed, that this event would be one of a kind. And I was right. Felt super happy for them to see such a couple.
   

Even went out into the dance floor to dance with this delightful woman. :)

P.S. I usually do not write as much about a blog, and if you're a reader/previous client, please do not take this post offensively in anyway. We simply had a great event working for a family that became more than just clients. :)

Elvis & Shebani

On the night of March 28th, 2010. We provided sound and lighting for a Jewish & Indian wedding reception for Elvis & Shebani. The reception was held at the Pointe Hilton on Tapatio cliffs. About 250-300 guests of which 95% were married couples. The event started off with a grand entrance which led into Jewish dances and of course Jewish chair dancing. This was also my first Jewish event so experiencing the Chair Dances were very interesting and fun to watch. 95% of the music at the event consisted of Oldies Jazz, RnB, Blues... The groom had quite the selection and most of the songs were specific requests. A very pleasant evening, great crowd, very amusing speeches, great food, drinks and a very fun event.
