NAMRATA LOKA, FASHION JOURNALIST & WEDDING PLANNER

I always joke about how One Wedding was a spinoff from our wedding, one that went viral and started a new chapter in my life alongside my marriage! The story goes like - there were so many things my husband and I planned to the T which really worked out, offset by the negligence and unprofessionalism of our wedding planner which seemed like a serious problem in the wedding industry. I resolved to never let a bride/ groom/ their families down, and make every part of this emotionally-charged, once-in-a-lifetime event memorable for the right reasons. Egged on by my family, I decided to tap into my fashion and wedding editorial background, coupled with a Type A personality that lives to create Excel sheets to ensure a structured + logistical event. As for my partner, Anandita and I have this envious chemistry that just brings a magical flow to events.

ANANDITA AHUJA, DESIGNER & WEDDING PLANNER

I have dabbled in multiple different arenas in the world of design - garments, shoes, clutches, jewellery, and whatnot, and weddings have been a culmination of all the learnings. From designing to ideating, creating, and large-scale production, my strong grasp over materials and make give me the confidence that no matter what problem may come my way, I can solve it all with a smile to boot. Seeing everyone happy, excited and having a great time together brings me great joy and fuels my enthusiasm for designing for and planning events. I have attended over a hundred and fifty weddings in my adult life, but I distinctly remember how the best ones made me feel - and that feeling, just like art, is something I can’t express in words but strive to stir through the work we do at One Wedding.
