Weddings N Dreams began with a beach wedding in Goa in September 2001—among the early professionally planned beach weddings in the state.
More than 25 years later, Goa remains our home and our expertise.
Over the years, my team and I have planned celebrations for couples and families from India and around the world, supported by trusted local relationships and a shared passion for thoughtful wedding planning.
Our work has been recognised by national publications, industry platforms and couples whose weddings we still remember many years later. Elle India included Weddings N Dreams among its recommended wedding planners in India, and our work has also been featured in newspapers, travel reviews and wedding publications.
In 2009, I was nominated for the 92.7 Big FM Goa Award for Most Innovative Businessman of the Year, recognising my early work in helping establish Goa as a preferred destination for Indian and international weddings.
A particularly proud moment came in 2018, when Weddings N Dreams received the Brand Leadership Award at the Goa State Best Brand Awards. Presented at Vivanta by Taj in Panaji, it was meaningful recognition of the reputation our team had built since planning our first Goa beach wedding in 2001.
Experience has taught me that a successful wedding is not created by following a formula. It comes from understanding the people involved, giving honest guidance and knowing how to bring the right venues, professionals and decisions together.
We intentionally plan a select number of weddings so that every couple and family receives personal attention from our team.
I invite you to share the first details of your Goa celebration with us. We would be pleased to understand your vision and explore how Weddings N Dreams can guide you through the planning journey.
Asante!
