In a world where love stories unfold in infinite ways, Vivaah Weddings has mastered the art of transforming these unique narratives into unforgettable celebrations. With nearly 13 years of experience in the wedding industry, Arun Bablani has built a reputation for curating bespoke weddings that transcend traditional boundaries. From intimate gatherings to lavish destination weddings, Vivaah Weddings combines meticulous planning with innovative design, turning the ordinary into the extraordinary. But how did this journey begin? And what sets their approach apart in a world full of wedding planners? Let’s step behind the scenes and discover the magic of Vivaah Weddings, where each celebration is crafted as a timeless masterpiece.
Arun Bablani of Vivaah Weddings never envisioned a career in wedding planning. "My journey began unexpectedly when a close friend asked me to plan his wedding." Initially hesitant, given the emotional weight and complexity of weddings, Arun Bablani specialized in corporate events at the time and had no intention of switching paths. Yet, the challenge of organizing a 1600-guest wedding over four days with nine separate events ignited something unexpected.
"After the wedding, I took some time to reflect and realized that I truly enjoyed the process of wedding planning—the creativity, the logistics, and the emotional connections." That turning point led to the creation of Vivaah Weddings, which has since become a globally recognized name in the industry.
What keeps the Vivaah Weddings team passionate about their work is the deep emotional connection they establish with couples. "What I love most about wedding planning is the opportunity to create unforgettable moments for couples on one of the most significant days of their lives." Wedding planning, for them, is a beautiful combination of creativity and meticulous attention to detail, ensuring each wedding is unique.
"The blend of creativity, logistics, and personal connection allows me to craft unique experiences that reflect each couple's love story." Seeing the happiness on the couple's faces as their vision comes to life is the ultimate reward. This ability to innovate and take on new challenges keeps the passion alive.
Vivaah Weddings prides itself on delivering highly personalized services. "At Vivaah Weddings, our philosophy centers on creating bespoke, memorable experiences that reflect the unique love stories of each couple we work with." From intimate gatherings to grand celebrations, the team tailors each event to meet the couple's specific desires.
Their favorite projects are destination weddings. "We particularly enjoy planning destination weddings, where we can merge different cultures and traditions in stunning locations." Whether it’s a beachside celebration or a cultural fusion, destination weddings offer the chance to create immersive, personalized experiences that resonate deeply with guests and couples alike.
Unlike many wedding planning companies that offer pre-set packages, Vivaah Weddings takes a more personalized approach. "At Vivaah Weddings, we are a bespoke wedding planning and management company, which means we don’t offer pre-set packages." They tailor each wedding to the couple's vision, ensuring every detail—from venue selection to celebrity appearances—is custom-designed.
"As a turnkey company, we handle every aspect of the wedding, from finding the perfect destination to arranging celebrity appearances and everything in between." This comprehensive approach means couples can relax, knowing every element of their day will be expertly managed.
One of the most memorable weddings Vivaah Weddings has ever planned took place at Disneyland Paris. "What made this wedding truly extraordinary was that we managed to privatize the entire park for the event, marking the first time Disneyland Paris was closed for a private celebration."
The wedding was nothing short of a fairytale, with 400 guests in attendance. Beloved Disney characters, including Mickey and Minnie, mingled with the guests, adding whimsy and delight to the celebration. "The wedding was a true fairytale come to life." Every aspect of the event—from the décor to the entertainment—was carefully curated to reflect the couple's love for Disney, creating a magical experience that left a lasting impression on everyone involved.
Planning a wedding can be overwhelming, but Vivaah Weddings strives to make the process smooth and stress-free. "Our approach to working with clients is centered around deep collaboration and understanding." The first step is getting to know the couple—their story, their vision, and their preferences.
"Transparency and open communication are key throughout the process." They work closely with couples, providing expert guidance while ensuring that every major decision reflects the couple’s desires. Flexibility is also essential, allowing for seamless adjustments along the way. "Our goal is to create a seamless and enjoyable planning experience that culminates in a wedding day that exceeds their expectations."
Every wedding presents its challenges, but one of the most demanding projects Vivaah Weddings took on was a fully sustainable wedding in 2021. "Sustainability was a priority for the couple, which meant every aspect of the wedding, from sourcing eco-friendly materials to minimizing waste, had to align with this vision."
It required rethinking traditional wedding planning approaches and educating vendors on sustainability practices. "We had to find innovative solutions that balanced the couple’s expectations with environmental responsibility." The challenge was met, and the result was a beautiful, environmentally-conscious celebration that stayed true to the couple's values.
Budget management is a key element of wedding planning, and Vivaah Weddings prides itself on helping couples stay on track. "We begin by having an open and honest discussion about their financial expectations and priorities." They work closely with clients to create a detailed budget plan, allocating funds where they matter most.
"Our main advice is to prioritize what’s most important to the couple, whether it’s the venue, decor, or entertainment." Regular check-ins and clear communication ensure that spending is monitored throughout the planning process, giving couples peace of mind.
For couples currently planning their wedding, the team at Vivaah Weddings offers simple but valuable advice. "Stay true to your vision and prioritize what truly matters to you as a couple." With so many opinions and options, it’s easy to lose sight of what’s important. They suggest setting a realistic budget, communicating openly with each other, and embracing the planning process.
"Wedding planning can be stressful, but it’s also a special time to create memories together." By keeping the focus on their unique story, couples can create a celebration that truly reflects who they are.
When asked about their dream wedding venue, the team at Vivaah Weddings doesn't hesitate. "My dream wedding venue would undoubtedly be the majestic Pyramids in Egypt." The grandeur and history of the Pyramids offer an awe-inspiring setting that transcends time.
"Organizing a wedding here would be like stepping into a dream, where the echoes of ancient civilizations blend seamlessly with the celebration of a couple’s love." Such a wedding would not only be a magical experience for the couple but also create a memory that lasts a lifetime.
Vivaah Weddings continues to weave magic into each celebration they plan, creating timeless memories for couples around the world. Their commitment to bespoke, creative, and meticulously planned weddings sets them apart, ensuring every event is a true reflection of the couple’s love story.
