Want to build your career as a wedding planner
Standing beneath the soft glow of the stage lights at The Wedding School’s 7th convocation, I found myself overwhelmed with emotion. It was more than just a ceremony—it was the culmination of countless dreams, hours of hard work, and the unyielding spirit of everyone who had been a part of this journey.
Seven years ago, we started with a vision—a school that would not only teach the craft of wedding planning but would build character, nurture creativity, and instill confidence. Today, as I looked into the eyes of our graduating class of 2024, I saw the reflection of that vision shining brighter than ever.
A Moment Etched in Time
Each student who walked across that stage carried a unique story—of ambition, of learning, of transformation. From the first day of orientation to completing their internships with some of India’s top wedding planning and décor companies, their journeys were nothing short of inspiring. I could still remember their nervous smiles when they began, their eyes filled with curiosity and dreams. And now, they stood tall—confident, capable, and ready to take on the world.
This wasn’t just their celebration—it was ours. A collective dream nurtured by an extraordinary team of mentors and faculty who have poured their heart and soul into shaping this institution.
The Pillars Behind The Wedding School
I must take a moment to express my deepest gratitude to the three people who have been my strength through this journey.
Dr. Usha Parikh, my mother, my guide, and the unwavering backbone of The Wedding School. Your wisdom, your calm, and your boundless belief in the potential of this initiative have been our compass. You’ve shown me that passion paired with perseverance can move mountains. This school breathes your spirit.
Sweety Goplani, senior planner at Swaaha and partner at Nautanki Company—you’ve been a force of nature. Your operational finesse, your deep connection with students, and your generous sharing of knowledge have made you one of the most impactful mentors at TWS. You’ve not only taught them the art of wedding planning—you’ve inspired them to love it.
Hemant Kale, my partner, your dedication to excellence and the depth of your knowledge have been an anchor. You have given so much of yourself to ensure our students understand this industry at a granular level. Your energy and insight have lit up our classrooms.
Together, with our entire faculty, these three have made The Wedding School a sanctuary of growth. Here, students are not just taught—they are nurtured.
Honouring Our Own
A heartfelt mention to Deepika Jain, our alumna turned counsellor and administrator. Her journey from student to torchbearer of the TWS spirit is one of the most fulfilling stories I’ve witnessed. Her dedication, her empathy, and her seamless ability to guide students through the process has been one of the key reasons behind our continued success.
Looking Back, Dreaming Forward
Reflecting on the past seven years fills me with pride and anticipation. As the wedding industry has evolved, so have we—embracing cultural shifts, digital tools, and fresh formats. Our mission remains clear: to instill not just skills, but a mindset of excellence. At The Wedding School, we champion curiosity, collaboration, and bold dreams.
To the Graduating Class of 2025
My dearest students—this is your moment. Soak it in. You’ve earned every bit of this celebration. But remember, this isn’t the end. It’s your beginning. The world is waiting for your ideas, your energy, and your unique flair.
Step forward with courage. Let your creativity lead the way. Build not just beautiful weddings—but legacies.
You are now, and forever, a part of The Wedding School family. And no matter where your journey takes you, we’ll always be cheering you on.
