You live in the USA. Your wedding is happening in Jaipur. That is not a normal wedding-planning job — it is two time zones, two currencies, and two sets of guests who have never met, all coming together on one day.
Amitesh Fauzdar has planned weddings for families based in the USA, UK, Canada, Australia and UAE for over 12 years. He personally handles every USA-based client — no call centre, no junior handoff. You speak to the same person from the first call to the final function in Jaipur.
Most wedding planner websites talk about palaces and decor. Nobody talks about the actual problem USA-based families face. Here it is, in plain words:
Your evening is Jaipur's early morning. Vendor calls, site visits and decisions keep getting delayed because nobody is awake at the same time.
You are sending money to a country you do not live in, to vendors you have never met, based on a verbal quote in a language that changes meaning depending on who is translating it.
Your American colleagues, friends or in-laws have never attended an Indian wedding. They do not know what to wear, when to arrive, or what a Sangeet even is.
You have a fixed number of vacation days from your US job. If the wedding runs into problems, you cannot simply extend your stay the way a planner based in India might casually suggest.
Your parents in India and you in the USA are getting two different versions of the same update — and nobody in the family agrees on what was actually decided.
This is the gap. Weddings and Events by Amitesh was built to close exactly this gap for USA-based couples — not with generic promises, but with a process designed around the way you actually live and work.
This is the part most Jaipur wedding planners never explain. Here is exactly how planning works when you are in the USA and we are in Jaipur.
We lock one recurring call slot in your evening — which lands in Jaipur's morning. No chasing WhatsApp voice notes at odd hours. You know exactly when to expect an update, every single week, until the wedding.
When we meet a decorator, caterer or venue manager on your behalf, we record the conversation and share it with you. You do not have to trust a summary — you can watch the actual meeting whenever your schedule allows, even at 2am US time.
Instead of two separate conversations that never match up, everyone sits in one thread. Your parents in Jaipur or Delhi and you in the USA see the same update, the same photo, the same decision — at the same time.
Indian vendor quotes are usually verbal or vague. We convert every package into a written document with an approximate USD figure next to the INR cost, so you are never doing currency math under pressure while also planning a wedding.
This is content you will not find on most Jaipur wedding planner pages, because most planners have never handled it. If one or both of you hold a US passport, Green Card, or OCI card, your wedding usually needs to satisfy two systems, not one:
A religious or traditional ceremony in Jaipur performed by your pandit or officiant of choice — and a registered marriage certificate that is recognised outside India, which the ceremony alone does not automatically provide.
This one step alone causes more stress to USA-based couples than the entire wedding decor. We build it into your timeline from day one, instead of leaving it as an afterthought for the last week.
Your USA-based friends and in-laws are not the same audience as your family from India — and treating them the same is where most weddings feel disjointed.
Indian wedding budgets are usually quoted in lakhs of rupees — a number that means very little when you are earning and saving in US dollars. We do not publish generic price ranges, because a haveli wedding for 80 guests and a palace wedding for 400 guests are not comparable, and a copy-pasted number online usually ends up wrong for your actual wedding.
Instead, we build your budget with you, function by function, on your very first call — venue, catering, decor, photography, entertainment — with a USD reference next to every INR figure, so you always know exactly what you are spending in the currency you actually earn in.
A couple already living in Jaipur can make last-minute decisions in person. You cannot. Guest visas, US work leave, and long-haul flights all need a longer runway. This is the timeline we actually work to.
Palace venues for the October–February season fill up fastest with NRI and USA-based bookings.
Finalise decor theme and photography team over recorded video calls, so approvals do not depend on you being awake at odd hours.
Confirm catering, entertainment, and send preliminary travel information to guests who may need visa invitation letters.
Guest travel, hotel blocks, and the culture guide for your American guests are finalised and shared.
You walk into a wedding where every decision was already made on video call, with your parents, months earlier — not one still being negotiated after your flight lands.
12+ years of hospitality experience, including senior roles with hotel groups such as Orchid Hotels and Clarks Group, before founding Weddings and Events by Amitesh.
500+ weddings executed, with direct working relationships at Rambagh Palace, Fairmont Jaipur, Chomu Palace, Samode Bagh and Leela Palace Jaipur.
Verified and rated on WedMeGood and WeddingWire, with reviews from couples across India, the USA, UK and Canada.
A single point of contact — Amitesh personally oversees every USA-based client wedding, with no junior handoff mid-project.
Written contingency plans for weather, vendor cancellation and venue issues, so a problem on the ground never becomes your problem to solve from another continent.
Yes. Most of our USA-based couples finalise venue, decor, catering and entertainment entirely over video call and recorded vendor meetings. Your first trip to Jaipur can be the wedding trip itself, with everything already confirmed.
Every package we prepare includes a written INR cost with an approximate USD reference, so you are never doing conversion math under pressure.
We set one fixed weekly call in your evening, and we record every major vendor meeting so you can review it on your own schedule.
We guide you on the practical sequence — timing, documents typically requested, and coordinating with your family — while always recommending you confirm final requirements with a registrar or immigration attorney.
Yes. We prepare a simple one-page guide explaining each function and the appropriate dress code, sent to your American guests before they travel.
November to February gives the most comfortable weather for outdoor functions and is the easiest season to plan long-haul travel around, though it is also the most in-demand — we recommend locking your date 12+ months ahead.
Your wedding does not need to feel harder just because you live 12,000 kilometres away. Talk to Amitesh directly and see exactly how a USA-based wedding is planned, step by step.
