The Story Behind Vivaah India
Akshat's journey into wedding planning began in Jaipur — a city where every fort, palace, and haveli tells a love story. Growing up surrounded by the grandeur of Rajasthan's royal heritage, he developed an instinctive understanding of how space, ceremony, and culture come together to create unforgettable moments.
After completing his training in event management, Akshat spent several years working with luxury hospitality groups across Rajasthan, learning the intricate logistics of large-scale events at heritage properties. In 2007, he founded Vivaah India — initially focused on domestic weddings, but quickly recognised as the go-to planner for NRI families seeking a trusted partner on the ground in India.
Today, Vivaah India plans weddings across 30+ destinations — from the desert forts of Jaisalmer to the backwater houseboats of Kerala — with a team of specialists who share Akshat's commitment to flawless execution and deeply personal service.
For NRI couples, Akshat's greatest strength is his ability to bridge two worlds: honouring the traditions and expectations of Indian families while accommodating the practical realities of planning from abroad. He and his team handle everything — venue selection, vendor negotiations, legal documentation, guest logistics, and on-the-day coordination — so families can be fully present for every moment.
Areas of Expertise
Royal Palace & Heritage Weddings
Akshat has an unmatched network of relationships with Rajasthan's most iconic palace properties — Rambagh Palace, Umaid Bhawan, Taj Lake Palace, and beyond. He negotiates access and rates that are simply not available to couples approaching venues directly.
NRI Wedding Coordination
Planning an Indian wedding from the UK, USA, Canada, or Australia requires a trusted partner who can act as your eyes and ears on the ground. Akshat's team manages every detail remotely, with regular video briefings and transparent communication throughout.
Multi-Day Celebration Design
From the mehendi and sangeet to the baraat and reception, Akshat designs each event as a distinct experience — with its own mood, décor palette, and entertainment — while maintaining a cohesive narrative across the entire wedding week.
Large-Scale Guest Management
Managing 500+ guests across multiple venues, cities, and travel itineraries is a Vivaah India speciality. Akshat's logistics team handles accommodation blocks, airport transfers, welcome kits, and on-ground concierge for every guest.
