SJS Book Launch

Last night was truly magical for us. Being able to finally have the launch party for our book was a dream come true!

We are so happy we were able to share this special occasion with those closest to us, including our many past brides, currents brides and vendors we work with on a daily basis.

Publishing our first book has been seven years in the making. To finally see people purchasing our book and enjoying it really brings joy to our hearts.

We want to send a special thanks to Sanjana Vaswani for Sonal's stunning hair and makeup, DJ Manan Shah for keeping the crowd dancing and Jeannie from Atlas Floral for the gorgeous floral arrangements.

 

THANK YOU to everyone who came and showed their support, it meant the world to us!  

Table Sizes

Knowing the different sizes of tables and how many people can fit at each is key when making your floor plans. This is just one of the many topics we cover in our upcoming book, The Complete Guide to Planning the Perfect South Asian Wedding – read this sneak peak now to help you out!

It is handy to know how many people can be seated at which kind of table, and a little bit about how to put them together in ways that are both practical and aesthetic. Use the chart above to help create a floor plan that includes a nice mix of varied tables, balanced on each side of your banquet room.

            It can be a revelation to many who are planning seating for a wedding to find that it may not be necessary to rent additional tables. Your venue will generally have a range of standard round and long tables. Placed long sides together, six-foot and eight-foot tables will both make square tables ready for ten quests. A six-foot and an eight-foot rectangle table placed end to end creates seating for twenty, as do three six-foot rectangle tables places together in the same fashion. Note that while the seventy-two-inch round and two eight-foot rectangle tables together each may accommodate ten to twelve guests, twelve may feel a little crowded. If possible, keep it at ten for your guests’ maximum comfort. With just a little creative thinking, you will have saved some rental fees and designed a smart-looking room.

Our New Book!

We can't believe it! After 5 long years of blood, sweat, and tears, we finally get to see the cover of our book! After being in the industry for 10 years, we wanted to share some of the tricks and common mistakes that we've come across with all of you. The book will be released before the end of the year, but be sure to check back here for some more sneak-peeks until then! We're so excited to see this finally coming together.
