THE STORY OF MARIGOLD

THE STORY OF MARIGOLD

What began with one wedding became more than a decade of creating celebrations where culture and individuality belong in the same room.

MEET VIDHI

I’m Vidhi Kshatriya, founder of The Marigold Company.

My path into wedding planning began while planning my own wedding in 2013. I loved bringing the pieces together, but I also saw how easily couples could become overwhelmed by the number of decisions, expectations, and cultural considerations involved.

In 2015, I founded The Marigold Company with a clear point of view: South Asian weddings could honor tradition without following a formula. Couples deserved thoughtful guidance, honest expertise, and celebrations that felt true to who they were—not simply what had always been done.

More than a decade later, that belief continues to shape every wedding we plan.

OUR APPROACH

We create culturally rich celebrations that honor where you come from while reflecting who you are now.

Our role extends beyond managing logistics. We help you make clear decisions, assemble the right creative team, protect your priorities, and shape an experience that feels cohesive from the first guest arrival through the final celebration.

Because we accept only one wedding per weekend, every couple receives our full attention, presence, and care.
