Premier Event Halls
Nadia and Prem’s Suwanee, Georgia, wedding was a humble affair. Nadia, a model turned entrepreneur, is founder of Blush by Nadia. Prem, also an entrepreneur, runs his own choreography school. The two met at a fashion show through their mutual friend, DJ Bobby. At this show, Nadia provided makeup for the models while Prem organized the entire event. Quite unlike the end of the story, there were no initial sparks or love at first sight. Their meeting was quickly forgotten.

It was only later when Prem saw Nadia’s photo on Facebook that he thought of asking her to model for an upcoming fashion show he was hosting. It was at their second meeting when firecrackers did spark and the two began chatting. One thing led to another, and Nadia and Prem began dating. It was at the Sushmita Sen Show of Empowerment where Prem proposed.

The wedding was a simple affair planned by Nadia, Prem and a few of their professional wedding planner friends. The venue of the Nikaah was indoors at Premiere Event Hall. Pre-wedding festivities included a mehndi and sangeet that were held at Prem’s uncle’s house. The wedding was celebrated with much fanfare with Bollywood music being the highlight. There were notable performances by Nadia, Prem, and his friends. Prem’s choreography team too handled the sangeet well with one hour of non stop performances that the guests truly enjoyed. This was definitely the big highlight of the wedding. The entire act done by Prem’s team showed how the couple met and how their love led them to the wedding stage.

Rosanna Barsati and Christopher Fontana, both attorneys, met at a local restaurant in South Florida. A belly dancer by night, Rosanna was performing at Cedars restaurant where Christopher was helping a friend in the kitchen. Christopher asked his friend about Rosanna, the two went on a date, and the rest was history!
After dating for about five months, the couple planned a trip to Sicily, Italy, with Christopher’s parents. Rosanna and Christopher drove to the top of Mount Etna, the world’s most active volcano. While taking in the awe-inspiring scenery, Chris nonchalantly asked Rosanna to marry him. It took a few moments and the drive back down the mountain for it to sink in, but Rosanna knew she was an engaged woman!

Wedding festivities began with a mehndi celebration at Rosanna’s mother’s home. Rosanna’s mom and family decorated the home while tassa drum and hit music created a festive atmosphere.
Given the couple is from the Orlando area, they chose the Henry P. Leu Gardens to be their wedding venue. Rosanna’s favorite flower is the rose, so it was only fitting they married in the venue’s Rose Garden! Decor was kept simple as the garden was so picturesque with handmade touches to the arch by Rosanna’s mother and friends. Rosanna’s father was the officiant for the wedding ceremony adding a meaningful and personal touch to the occasion.
The dinner and reception were held at the place where it all began – Cedars Restaurant! Rosanna’s mom and friends created beautiful centerpieces of pink and white roses. The bride and groom danced to the classic Frank Sinatra song “Fly Me to the Moon.” Guests celebrated into the night to a medley of Arabic, top 40s Reggaeton, and Indian Chutney music.
Rosanna and Christopher assure couples planning a wedding quickly that it can be done, so don’t stress when planning the wedding of your dreams!

Bharvi weds Mithil Indian Wedding at Hilton Atlanta photos by Cassie Valente
Fate and chance work in mysterious ways, especially when it comes to meeting the love of your life. In 2010, Bharvi Patel and Mithil Patel resided in dorms at Georgia Tech, just three minutes away from each other. It wasn’t until 2011 when the two met. One day, Mithil met his roommate’s study partner, Bharvi, and the two became friends and slowly their friendship blossomed into love.
As Mithil is the adventurous sort, he organized a puzzle hunt for Bharvi when they went to Destin, Florida, for some beach time fun. For every successful answer, Bharvi got closer to the treasure chest, which held a key to Mithil’s heart (in this case it was a giant ring!). Bharvi said yes, and the couple were joined by dozens of friends waiting to surprise them!
Bharvi and Mithil wanted an outdoor wedding, so they chose the Hilton Marietta Hotel in Marietta, Georgia, as they fell in love with the venue’s outdoor veranda that overlooks the golf course. Since Bharvi’s brother recently got married, she was well aware of the wedding planning process. So, the couple decided to plan the wedding themselves. Bharvi also designed all the wedding invitations herself.
Indian wedding planning
Pre-wedding ceremonies included a mehndi held at Bharvi’s parents house, where Mithil surprised his bride-to-be with a grand 10-minute firework show! The garba evening was held in the ballroom at the Hilton and was decorated with a hand painted tree/branch backdrop with parrots and a rickshaw where guests enjoyed taking photographs.
Indian Pre-wedding ceremonies
Due to rainy weather, the wedding was held indoors, but ended up feeling like the outdoors with the decor. The mandap was lined with blush pink flowers and greenery and white floral arrangements hung from the ceiling. The aisle decorations were rustic lanterns filled with pink flowers.
Indian garba
Mithil arrived to the wedding in Georgia Tech’s mascot car, the Ramblin’ Wreck. He entered the ballroom to “Harry Potter Indian Flute Remix” playing in the background. Bharvi entered to “Din Shagna Da.”
Hilton Marietta Hotel in Marietta, Georgia
The rustic outdoors carried on to the reception. Centerpieces were a mix of 30-inch tall floral arrangement that looked like floating bouquets, and geometric terrariums with white and blush roses and hydrangeas.
Classical Indian decor
Indian couple’s first dance
The couple’s first dance was to the iconic “Stand by Me” by Ben E King, the father-daughter dance was the classic “Jab Koi Baat Bigad Jaye” instrumental, and the mother-son dance was to “Nae Nae” by Silento along with a mix of Bollywood songs. As a surprise, Mithil and his mom joined Bharvi and her father halfway through the father-daughter dance and turned it into an unforgettable father-daughter and mother-son medley. Bharvi also joined her bridesmaids towards the finale song of their performance to surprise Mithil. He returned the surprise by joining his groomsmen for the final song of their performance.
Bharvi and Mithil advise couples to “Take your time with the planning. Perfection isn’t possible, but fun and memorable is.”

Umesh wanted to be sure he chose the right moment and place to propose to Jaina, so he planned a summer trip to Chicago. However, on the day he planned to pop the question, Jaina fell ill. Before their trip came to an end, they went to see Millennium Park, and it was there that Umesh asked Jaina to marry him.

Jaina’s pre-wedding events included a mehndi night, pithi, and grah shanti ceremony all at her home. Since she is from Zimbabwe, all these events had an African theme, and her family members handmade all the decorations themselves. Her cousin, Rajuben, made paper lantern centerpieces, with an African sunset and elephants painted on them. Her brothers-in-law made the stage backdrop, and her aunts and cousins made garlands and small flower arrangements for the decoration. Umesh’s family celebrated by doing a pithi and grah shanti ceremony at his home.

For the wedding, Jaina and Umesh chose a traditional color theme of red, white and gold. Umesh came to the venue in a Mercedes driven by his best friend. For the baraat and ceremony, their DJ played a mix of Bhangra, Bollywood and hip-hop music.

Manali weds Nikesh Indian Wedding at Hilton Orlando Photographed by Asaad Images
When your first date is at Disney World, the relationship ahead can only be an adventure! For Manali Patel, a physical therapist, and Nikesh Patel, a web developer, their adventure began on that fateful garba night when sparks flew. The two dated for seven years before Nikesh took the next step.
Making use of airline voucher tickets that were about to expire, Manali and Nikesh booked a trip to New York City. Nikesh used this as the perfect opportunity to pop the big question. He planned a memorable evening at a lovely New York City rooftop restaurant complete with candles and music! For Manali, the night was a dream come true.
The couple chose to host the wedding in Orlando, Florida, as Manali’s family lives in Melbourne and Nikesh’s in Tampa. The Hilton Orlando was the perfect venue, and the couple enlisted the help of a wedding planner. The pre-wedding events included a Moroccan-themed mehndi, vidhi ceremony, and sangeet.
The groom entered the main wedding event in a helicopter accompanied by his cousin sisters. He surprised Manali with a small dance performance especially for her with his friends and some of her bridesmaids. The wedding ceremony took place outdoors and the mandap was adorned in white, red, pink, and green florals. Waterfall effects in the background along with an aisle lined with candles and greenery pedestals enhanced the atmosphere. Music at the wedding events was a mix of Bollywood and western hits. Manali and Nikesh’s celebration included many surprise dance performances making the day memorable.
The evening reception was held indoors and featured a black and white dance floor along with a neon lit chandelier and matching centerpieces. Personal touches made the event more intimate with pictures of the couple’s wedding photo shoot in Jaipur and Jodhpur at the entrance.
Nikesh and Manali feel that the process from dating to the wedding can be long and drawn out filled with hard decisions, but in the end, it is all worth it when the love of your life stands before you in the mandap.
