Seattle · Eastside · Puget Sound

Celebrations,
handled.

Weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, pujas, Diwali nights, office parties. Planned by someone who knows Indian celebrations from the inside — and charges like a neighbor, not an agency.

Why me

Four reasons, plainly.

01

I know the culture

I married into an Indian family. I've been inside these celebrations as family, not as a vendor. Nothing needs explaining twice.

02

I'm actually local

Seattle-based. Twenty-five minutes from your venue for site visits, tastings and the day itself. Not flying in.

03

You get me

One planner, start to finish. No account manager, no junior handed your event in month four.

04

Priced to start

I'm building this business, so my rates are well under the established Seattle firms. Spend the difference on the food.

Services

Any celebration worth doing properly.

Full planning or partial — tell me where you are and I'll tell you which you need.

Weddings & receptions

One day or five. Indian, western, or the fusion weekend that has to hold both.

Birthdays & milestones

First birthdays, sixteenths, fiftieths, retirements. Also annaprashan and mundan.

Anniversaries

Twenty-fifths, fiftieths, vow renewals, and the party you skipped the first time.

Baby showers & godh bharai

Traditional, modern, or the version where both sides of the family feel at home.

Engagements & roka

The first party two families throw together. Smaller, higher stakes.

Housewarmings & pujas

Griha pravesh, satyanarayan, Diwali at home. Pandit, samagri, prasad, seating.

Festivals & community nights

Garba, Diwali, Holi, association events. Volunteers, permits, a run-of-show people follow.

Corporate & office events

Team celebrations, holiday parties, launches, and the office Diwali night.

Experience

Things I don't have to be told.

  • A haldi needs drainage, towels and a change of clothes.
  • A baraat needs a street-use permit two weeks out.
  • A first birthday runs on the baby's nap, not your schedule.
  • A havan needs a venue that allows open flame — ask in month one, not three.
  • A 300-person buffet needs two lines, not one.
  • Grandparents get seated near the door, every time.

About

I married into this. Then I fell for the work.

I'm a Seattle event planner. I'm also the white girl who showed up to her first Indian wedding with no idea what was happening, and left three days later certain this was what I wanted to do.

LFNT Events is new. My connection to these celebrations isn't. I've spent years inside them as family — folding invitations, chasing pandits, learning which cousin actually knows the answer. That's why I show up to a planning meeting already knowing what your event needs.

The name is the elephant. In my husband's family, nothing begins without first asking Ganesha to move what's in the way. It seemed like the right job description.
