Real Weddings: Bhumika and Nikhil

Another weekend another wedding for the SJS Events team. This time we were in sunny Miami at The Trump Beach Resort in Sunny Isles. 

Events started on Friday night with a fun pink and orange Mehndi event on the lower pool deck of the hotel. Guests enjoyed getting their mehndi done and surprises such a fire works and fire dancers. 

Saturday morning started with a super energetic baraat that closed down Collins Avenue (literally!). The groom arrived in a super stylish orange Lamborghini Spyder Gallardo and was escorted by police officers down collins avenue toward the Trump Resort. 

The baraat was followed by a gorgeous ceremony with the perfect beach backdrop. 

Cocktail hour started later in the evening where guests first picked up their super cute place cards which were actually pill bottles (both the bride and groom are doctors). Each pill bottle contained a USB which guests took to the photo booth and used to save all their fun pictures!

Everything came to an end with a lovely dinner reception which featured stunning centerpieces in white, gold, peach and hints of blue. 

We want to thank all the vendors that made this weekend possible: The Trump Resort for the hospitality, DJ Hemant for keeping the party going all weekend, Tabla for the delicious food, Suhaag Garden for the stunning decor and House of the Talent for all the photos and video we can't wait to see.

Congrats to Bhumika and Nikhil!!

Real Weddings: Aarti & Arun

We had a wonderful time at Aarti & Arun’s wedding this past weekend at The Turnberry Isle Miami. The festivities all began with their Welcome Night on Thursday, which gave their guests a taste of the fun to come. Next, their guests had a fun-filled evening of food and dance at their lavish and lively sangeet on Friday night. The ceremony was held on Saturday, and the bride and groom looked absolutely stunning as they stood under a floral draped mandap. Finally, Aarti & Arun danced the night away with their family and friends at their gorgeously decorated reception. Although a little rain set us back, the wedding went on without a hitch and was gorgeous! Congratulations to the happy couple!

We’d like to thank the vendors who made this event possible, especially The Turnberry Isle Miami, Maloman Studios, LaFrance Films, DJ Suhel, Xquisite Events, Amy Palma, and Copper Chimney catering.

Miami Site Visit

This week, I was very excited to be back in Miami, my second home, with one of my favorite brides to tour her venue, the Turnberry Isle Miami Resort. Our stay at the Turnberry was wonderful and it is truly a beautiful resort. They have multiple spaces that can accommodate large or small events, which was amazing. It is great to have the flexibility to have all our of events there. The bride, her mother and I kept busy with tours, meetings and tastings: This visit was very, very productive and delicious. We cannot wait to return in Oct for our second planning trip and then in Nov for the wedding. Here are some pictures from my visit of the golf course, the two wonderful pools and the immaculate landscaping. Enjoy!

Last week we had a great trip to Miami. Next year we have a few weddings down there and we were able to accomplish a lot planning wise. We stayed at the Eden Roc and as always their hospitality was amazing!

We had a chance to visit The Marriott in Harbor Beach with one of our brides and the hotel is gorgeous. It is one of the only locations in the Miami area that has a great ceremony space with an amazing beach backdrop. They also have a multitude of ballrooms which can hold from the smallest to the biggest events. We are so happy to be working with them and cant wait for the wedding we are doing there in March.
