Co-Founders of Splendid Surprises Luxury Weddings, Aarefa and Pramod came together from very different backgrounds, to collaborate in the design of beautiful weddings. Formerly an Art Director, Aarefa draws from her extensive experience of designing and creating sets to orchestrate incredible experiential wedding setups, while Pramod channels his experience in Hospitality and Audio Visual Engineering. With their talented team and rigorous dedication, they leave no stone unturned to make every event a memorable affair. Let’s hear from them now…
