Meet your planner…
Wedding planning with heart, culture, and intention.
Hi, I’m Pooja! Wedding planner, cultural connector, logistics whisperer, and your go-to person when you want things done with both heart and precision.
I’m based in Sacramento and plan weddings all over Northern California—from San Francisco to Sonoma, Napa, and beyond. I specialize in modern, intentional weddings for multicultural, interfaith, and multiracial couples who want to honor their heritage without feeling boxed in by tradition.
Whether you’re blending multiple cultures, navigating family dynamics, or just want someone who gets it, I’m here to help you create a day that reflects you completely—your roots, your values, your style, your vibe.
Planning across cultures isn’t just logistics—it’s personal.
I work with multicultural, multiracial, and interfaith couples who want a wedding that feels true to both their identities and their values. The blending of traditions isn’t always straightforward—especially when families, faith, or expectations are involved. But I’ve lived that complexity myself. And I’ve helped couples navigate it with grace, intention, and a sense of joy.
My approach is rooted in empathy, cultural fluency, and a calm, organized presence. I’m not here to push cookie-cutter solutions—I’m here to co-create something meaningful with you. A celebration that reflects who you are, honors where you come from, and sets the tone for the life you’re building together.
The heart behind the brand…
I started Eventful by Pooja after coordinating a wedding during a deeply emotional season of new motherhood. I was rediscovering myself while caring for my newborn baby—and helping someone else celebrate love reminded me of who I was: calm under pressure, deeply empathetic, and meant for this work.
Being Gujarati and married into a Telugu family, I understand firsthand what it’s like to blend cultures, honor different traditions, and still create something that feels like your own. My clients trust me not just for my organization and creativity, but because I genuinely care—about the experience, the emotions, and the meaning behind it all.
Today, I plan weddings for couples across California who want beauty and meaning. I cap how many events I take each year to give each one the full attention it deserves. You’ll never feel like just another client—I build real relationships with every couple I support.
When I’m not planning weddings, I’m probably chasing after my toddler, planning our next family trip, or experimenting with new recipes.
What I value
(and what my clients do, too)
-
You care about how things look—but more importantly, how they feel. I believe every detail should have purpose, from the pacing of your day to the way your guests are welcomed. It’s not about perfection. It’s about presence.
-
Culture, tradition, or modern aesthetics—none of it means anything if it doesn’t feel like you. I create space for your story to come through in a way that’s elegant, natural, and entirely personal.
-
You’re busy, smart, and discerning—and you want someone who can meet you there. I bring clarity, warmth, and professionalism to every conversation. I’m not just here to plan—I’m here to be the steady hand you can trust.
