On the other hand, Swathi is truly a dream come true for any bride. Her boundless creativity and impeccable taste turned our vision into a breathtaking reality. She was always there to navigate any challenge with grace and resourcefulness, ensuring that everything was perfect. Together, Akshay and Swathi made our wedding not just an event, but a beautiful and seamless experience.

Hi, I'm Jason, Leah's husband. Swathi and Akshay reached out to us asking for a review, and we were happy to share one. However, Leah feels it's important to make sure they get as many reviews as possible, and I agree with her. While I’m not great with words like Leah, I truly think Swathi and Akshay have been a huge help to us. They've been amazing throughout the entire process. From the beginning, they've been professional, understanding, and made sure everything went smoothly. Leah was happy with everything they did, and I definitely second everything she said. I’d absolutely recommend them to anyone planning a wedding. They made our day special, and I have no doubt they'll do the same for anyone else.

I am so incredibly grateful for the amazing experience we had with our wedding planners, OUAT. My now husband, Jason, and I had the most beautiful Christian wedding, and I can honestly say that it wouldn’t have been possible without their expert guidance, unwavering support, and attention to every little detail. Initially, we were unsure about moving forward with OUAT, as we noticed their sample contract seemed tailored for Hindu weddings, not Christian ones. This made us hesitate, but we decided to give them the benefit of the doubt and scheduled a call. And let me tell you, that call was a game-changer. It quickly became clear that OUAT knew more about Christian wedding traditions and rituals than even our own families! They were so thorough in understanding our needs and ensuring that every detail was in line with the beautiful Christian practices we wanted to incorporate into our special day. From the moment we began working with OUAT, they were nothing short of amazing. They helped us with everything from the logistics to the RSVP process, and even the design of our wedding decor. Everything was executed flawlessly, and we couldn’t have asked for a more seamless experience. Their attention to detail was unparalleled, and the love and care they put into each aspect of the wedding made it truly unforgettable. I want to give a special shout-out to Raveena, my personal "shadow" and lifesaver throughout the entire process. Raveena was literally by my side every step of the way. She knew exactly what I wanted before I even had to ask. Her calm and reassuring presence helped ease my nerves, and she made everything look effortless. I honestly don’t know what I would have done without her! Jason also had his shadow, Nisarag, who was just as amazing. And we were blessed to have Mayuri, my family’s shadow, and Priyanka, Jason’s family’s shadow. Each one of them played an integral role in making our day perfect, and we are beyond thankful for their support. The entire team at OUAT deserves a massive round of applause for executing everything flawlessly. They took our vision and brought it to life in a way that exceeded our wildest expectations. From the first meeting to the last dance, they were there for us every step of the way, and we truly felt like they were part of our family. If you're looking for a wedding planning team that not only understands Christian wedding rituals but also knows how to bring your dreams to life with grace and precision, look no further than OUAT. They truly are a blessing, and I am so thankful that we chose them to help us create the wedding of our dreams!

We were initially unsure about hiring a wedding planner from India for our wedding in Bali, but looking back, I can confidently say that we made the best decision. Swathi and Akshay, you are absolutely the best planners we could have asked for, and we are beyond grateful for everything you did for us! If you've seen Band Baaja Baaraat, you'll know the kind of magic I'm talking about – and Swathi and Akshay are the real-life equivalent of that!

**To the Best Wedding Planners,** Sakshi and I can’t thank you enough for everything you’ve done for us. We were so nervous about planning our intercaste wedding, especially with all the challenges and resistance from our families. Initially, the idea of hiring a wedding planner wasn’t accepted at all. But once they met you both, everything changed. Your warmth, understanding, and professionalism made them fall in love with you, just as we did! You didn’t just plan our wedding—you made our lives so much easier and ensured every moment was unforgettable. We’ll forever be grateful to you for making this journey so smooth and special. We’re 100% recommending you to everyone we know. Thank you for turning our dream wedding into a reality! With love and gratitude, Pankaj

The Fairy Godparents of Weddings! I don’t know how they did it, but somehow, Swathi and Akshay turned my Pinterest board into reality—and made it look 100 times better. From the moment we met, I knew I was in good hands. They navigated my ever-changing wedding mood swings like pros. One minute I was all about rustic chic, and the next I was convinced we should elope in a hot air balloon (they somehow talked me down from that one). The wedding venue? *Thailand*. The stunning Sheraton. Swathi somehow made sure the entire thing felt like a dream vacation, with zero stress. Every detail was carefully curated, from the tropical flowers to the beachside ceremony. As for the vendors, let me tell you: Swathi did the heavy lifting. She looked at 80 different photographers before saying, “Yes, to Vyshnav.” And she was spot on Vyshnav photos are nothing short of magical—every shot was like a beautiful piece of art. I can’t even begin to explain how happy I am with the memories he captured. The same level of dedication went into every other vendor. Makeup? Swathi worked her magic and brought in Shraddha, who somehow made me look even better than my *dream* self (without the filters!). The hair, the makeup, everything—flawless. And don’t even get me started on the food... Swathi’s recommendations were *chef's kiss* perfect. Now, let's talk about the RSVP situation for a second. You know how chaotic guest lists can be, right? Well, I may have underestimated just how *chaotic* our guests could be. We had RSVPs flooding in at the last minute, some with plus-ones I didn’t even know existed, and a few with no responses at all. Enter Akshay, who swooped in like a superhero. He got everything sorted in ONE day. I don't know how he did it, but he managed to track down everyone, confirm their details, and get everything in order—like magic. Seriously, Akshay deserves a medal for that alone. Swathi and Akshay made sure no detail was overlooked, whether it was managing my family’s *enthusiastic* suggestions or ensuring I didn’t have a panic attack when my veil went missing five minutes before the ceremony. (It was in the wrong bag, not on me, because apparently, that’s a thing.) If you want a team that’ll make your wedding feel like an absolute fairytale, handle every little detail (even the ones you forgot about), and keep you sane throughout the whole process—hire Swathi and Akshay. I’d gladly marry my spouse all over again just to have them plan it. (Maybe we could do a vow renewal in Paris—because why not?)
