The kinds of occasions we take on.
Weddings
A wedding is the occasion our members most often bring to us, and it is the occasion we most often decline to take on. A wedding at this register is the work of many hands over many months — a family's own team, the planner's team, the venue's team, and ours. When we agree to it, we agree to it fully.
We have led weddings of twenty, weddings of four hundred, weddings on two continents with a forty-eight hour turnaround between them. The only common thread is that every one was held with the seriousness the family asked us to bring.
A member-family held their daughter's wedding across three days at a private estate in the old city of Udaipur in 2024. The guest count was held to one hundred and six.
Milestone anniversaries
Twenty-five years, fifty years, sixty years. An anniversary at that weight is quieter than a wedding and, in our view, no less important. We approach these the same way: a small number of considered choices, executed without compromise.
We recently helped a Chennai family mark their parents' golden anniversary at the home the bride had come to as a bride — a ceremony of fifteen immediate family and the priest who had conducted the wedding itself.
Legacy birthdays
The ninetieth. The hundredth. The birthdays that carry the shape of a life. We have planned these with children and with grandchildren; we have planned them in homes the guest of honour has not returned to in decades.
We recently supported a family in Kolkata celebrating their grandfather's ninetieth birthday, returning to the estate where he was born. The occasion was quiet. Forty-three guests. It was, in our judgment, the most beautiful work we did that year.
Heritage occasions
Naming ceremonies, home blessings, consecrations, the formal moments of a family's continuing life. These are not the occasions most planners are built for, and we take particular care with them.
In the spring of 2024 we helped a family return to their ancestral home in the Chettinad region for a blessing and a private meal — a three-day visit held in complete privacy, with no press, no record, and no guests beyond the family itself.
Private corporate occasions
Founding anniversaries. Family-business milestones. Board weekends held at a partner's home. We take these only when the occasion is genuinely personal — not quarterly gatherings with a retreat varnish.
A Mumbai family-owned trading house marked its seventieth year with a weekend at the founder's first office, since preserved as a private museum. Twenty-two family members attended. No staff, no agency, no speeches.
Memorial and commemorative occasions
Our work here is by referral only, and is handled with a completeness and quiet that is hard to describe in marketing copy. If we are the right people for your commemoration, you will know it by the time we are introduced.
Every occasion is different; our method is the same. A conversation first — the rest follows.
