SJS Real Weddings: Maneesha & Abi!

As you will have gathered from our last blog post, last week we flew down to Mexico to help Maneesha and Abi celebrate their wedding in front of friends and family who had come from all over the world to join in the festivities. 

The gorgeous and tranquil Fairmont Mayakoba resort in Cancun played host to the weekend’s events, which kicked off on Thursday evening with a Welcome Fiesta. Guests were greeted with personalized welcome bags and were later treated to authentic Mexican food and live entertainment from a Mariachi band.  

Friday saw a lively Sangeet take place, with performances by a host of the couple’s family and friends. New York based chefs from Tulsi catering left guests raving about the food while music from DJ Raj Entertainment kept everyone on their feet well into the night. 

London-based photographers Vivida were also on-hand throughout the weekend to take some beautiful shots. 

On Saturday, the couple were married outdoors in a beautiful ceremony presided over by Pandit Jagdish Trevedi, with spectacular décor from Planner1 Events. 

Following the ceremony, guests enjoyed a cocktail hour al fresco and then a Reception in the resort’s Mimosa Ballroom where the newly married couple made their grand entrance. It truly was an amazing few days and we wish our wonderful couple every happiness for the future!
