SJS Real Weddings: Sarayu & Manthan

It was quite the wedding extravaganza this weekend at the Villa Del Palmar Resort in Cancun, Mexico for our lovely couple, Sarayu and Manthan.  The events started onThursday evening with the Sangeet/Garba night where everything was Indian chic and festive. The room was decorated with lots of vibrant colors that left the guests in awe. 

The beach was the perfect backdrop for our stunning bride who made a special entrance on her dholi.   

The weekend came to an end with a stunning reception where guests danced the night away and celebrated the love of the new Mr. and Mrs. 

We want to thank all the amazing vendors who made this weekend perfect: Latin Asia Decor, House of Talent Photography, DJ Raj, Taj Mahal Catering, Styling Trio Makeup and Karina Pena and the whole staff at Villa Del Palmar Resort!

Congratulations Sarayu and Manthan!  Thank you for allowing us to be a part of your special day!
