SHE’S A HUG, NOT A HANDSHAKE.

For over a decade, Priya has poured her heart and soul into building what would be the start of an innovative entrepreneurial journey.

Her work has been featured in prestigious publications like VOGUE, The New York Times, Harper's Bazaar, Business Insider, BRIDES Magazine, The Times of India, Town and Country, Refinery29, TLC's Four Weddings, and The Knot to name a few. Priya's excellence in the field was recognized by winning the WIPA Wedding Planner of the Year Award in 2019, and serving on various international hospitality committees.

13 years later, Priya and her team continue to captivate clients with innovative design concepts combined with precision, no matter the country, size or challenge. Redefining the role of "event planner", Priya has now been fondly recognized as an Experiential Creative Director bringing fresh trendsetting perspectives with an out-of-the-box approach.
