Getting started

Who we are for, and how a celebration begins with us.

Do you only plan South Asian weddings?

South Asian weddings are the heart of our practice — the multi-day arcs, the ceremonies, the two families and two traditions that have to move as one. It is the work we are built for, and it is where we are at our best. If your celebration lives in that world, in any part of it, you are exactly who we plan for.

Which traditions and ceremonies do you cover (Hindu, Sikh, Muslim, Jain, multi-faith)?

Hindu, Sikh, Muslim, Jain, and the interfaith and multi-faith celebrations that bring more than one tradition into a single weekend — all of it sits inside the work we do. We learn both families, both regions, and every ritual before a single decision is made, and we confirm every ceremony detail with your officiant and your elders so the moments that matter are honoured exactly as they should be.

How far in advance should we book?

Earlier is always better — the sooner we begin, the more of the celebration we can engineer rather than rescue. That said, there is no wrong time to reach out. Whether your date is more than a year away or the weekend is close and you need a steady hand to run it, the right place to start is a conversation, and we will tell you honestly how we can help.

How do we get started?

Begin your inquiry. Tell us about your celebration — the dates, the traditions, the scale you are imagining — and we will follow up to set a conversation. That first call is where we listen, answer your questions, and agree together on the right way for us to work. No account and no commitment to begin.

How we work

The Aura Method, your vendors, and the scale of what we run.

How is Aura Events different from a typical wedding planner?

Most planners react on the day. We engineer before it. We work the Aura Method — Discover, Engineer, You live it: we learn both families and every tradition deeply, we build the schedules, vendors, and rituals into one engineered plan, and on the day our team runs a live command center so you simply live the celebration. You carry one calm conversation; everything complex happens out of your earshot.

Do we have to use your vendors, or can you work with ours?

Either. If you already have vendors you love, we brief them, align them, and hold them to one standard as if they were our own. If you would rather we source them, we bring the right people for your traditions and your vision. Most celebrations are a mix of both — and in every case, your vendors answer to us, not to you.

How many events and days can you coordinate?

As many as the celebration needs. A single ceremony or a full multi-day weekend — Mehndi, Sangeet, Haldi, the ceremony, the reception, and everything woven between them — is exactly the kind of production we are built to run. The team we bring is sized to the scale of your days and your guest count, never a fixed template.

The portal

The private operating system behind your celebration.

What is the Aura Portal and who gets access?

The Aura Portal is a private planning portal — a live operating system for your whole celebration. The couple, family, your vendors, and our team each see their own view: the couple get one calm, current picture of decisions and schedule; family see their times, places, and ceremony context; vendors get their exact cues and load-in windows; and our team runs the live command center behind it. Everyone sees what they need, the moment they need it, and nothing they do not.

Logistics & travel

Where we work, and how destination celebrations run.

Do you travel? Do you plan destination weddings?

Yes. We are based in Houston, Texas, and we plan destination celebrations wherever your weekend takes us. The Aura Method travels with us — the same deep discovery, the same engineered plan, and the same live command center on the day, whether the celebration is at home or across the country. Travel is always discussed openly and planned into your proposal before anything is booked.

Investment

How we approach pricing, and what the packages are built around.

What is included, and how do your packages work?

We offer packages that range from full-service, concept-to-execution planning to focused day-of coordination, and we shape the right level to your celebration — the number of events, the number of days, and your guest count all inform it. Rather than a fixed menu, think of it as a plan built around your weekend. After your inquiry and first conversation, we put together a proposal tailored to exactly what your celebration needs.

How much does it cost?

Because every celebration is a different shape — different events, days, scale, and traditions — investment is tailored rather than listed. The honest answer comes quickly: begin your inquiry and have the first conversation with us, and we will walk you through the approach and a proposal built around your weekend. No guesswork, and no obligation to begin.
