The Simply Perfect Events team fell in love with the colorful cultural celebrations of Indian and South Asian weddings years ago when we were trusted to plan our first one. After growing our Indian clientele steadily over the years, we feel confident in our extensive knowledge of the various ceremonies practiced, depending on the region our clients hail from. We understand the details of planning multi-day events, and the challenges that hosting such large soirees can present.
We work closely with many decorators and rental companies both near and far to ensure that you are not getting “canned décor” but a truly unique event that SPE brides have come to expect. Our insider knowledge can help you choose vendors that excel in cultural celebrations and their intricacies. Our team often travels outside of the Coastal Virginia area to lend our South Asian wedding expertise to brides in other areas.

Divya and Sheel wanted an intimate affair at her parents home on the beach, but still wanted to pull out all the stops with décor and details. Keefer Photo captured the lovely couple and all the pretty details!
Q & Neet’s Muslim wedding Nikkah was followed by a bunch at one of our favorite venues, Estate at River Run. It was full to the brim with lush pastel floral from Partyland and Ami Photo Video took all the great shots!
Pooja wanted lots of greenery on her wedding day and touches of blush for reception. For Sangeet we chose a fun theme of Aqua and Orange.
