Weddings, celebrations & journeys—thoughtfully designed.
Travel & Toast plans weddings and milestone celebrations, personally hosted and tailored journeys, and purposeful group experiences across India.
Every experience begins with listening, then brings together the right places, people, partners, and details around what matters most to you.
Hosted & Tailored India Journeys
From vendor sourcing and guest logistics to wedding-week coordination and complete multi-day planning, support is designed for NRI, intercultural, and international families planning in India from abroad.
NRI Weddings & Celebrations
Travel with Ajay as your host, or independently with a custom itinerary, vetted partners, and ongoing support—always shaped around your interests, pace, comfort, and desired level of involvement.
Retreats, Community & Education
Custom experiences for yoga and meditation groups, schools, diaspora communities, families, and organizations—combining shared purpose with cultural immersion and thoughtful coordination.
Luxury Weddings & Journeys
Elevated experiences for clients who value privacy, ease, and exceptional hospitality—from palace venues and private villas to Taj and Oberoi stays, luxury rail, seamless transfers, and discreet coordination.
Wedding support, shaped around what you need.
Planning a wedding or celebration in India from abroad can involve countless calls, decisions, vendors, family priorities, and moving parts. Travel & Toast offers flexible support—from researching the right partners to coordinating individual events or helping manage the complete celebration.
Vendor Sourcing & Proposal Support
For clients planning from abroad who need trusted options but don’t have the time, local knowledge, or language fluency to conduct an extensive search.
Travel & Toast can research suitable venues and vendors, make initial inquiries, gather availability and pricing, request proposals, clarify what is included, and organize the information into a thoughtful shortlist. This may include photographers, hairstylists and makeup artists, decorators, lighting teams, DJs and musicians, caterers, planners, coordinators, transportation providers, accommodations, and other event partners.
You remain in control of the final selections and contracts. We make the process clearer, more organized, and considerably less overwhelming.
For couples and families who have already made the primary plans and selected their vendors but want a trusted professional overseeing the details on the ground.
Before the celebration, Travel & Toast reviews the existing plans, communicates with vendors, develops or refines the event timeline, confirms responsibilities, and identifies potential gaps. During the event or wedding week, we serve as a central point of coordination—helping vendors, family members, and key participants stay informed and aligned.
Support can be arranged for one event, several individual events, or an entire multi-day celebration.
Event-Day & Wedding-Week Coordination
Comprehensive Wedding & Celebration Planning
For clients who want support from the earliest ideas through the final celebration.
Travel & Toast helps shape the vision, establish priorities and budgets, source and communicate with vendors, compare proposals, coordinate guest logistics, manage planning details, and provide hands-on support in India. Every engagement is customized around the events involved, the responsibilities the family wishes to retain, and the level of support required.

How it comes together
A thoughtful journey, wedding, celebration, or group experience begins with listening. Our process is personal, collaborative, and clear from the first conversation onward.
-
Tell us what is bringing you to India, who is involved, what matters most, and how you hope the experience will feel. We’ll discuss your ideas, priorities, timing, location, budget, and desired level of support.
-
We’ll recommend the right way to work together and clearly outline the scope, professional fees, third-party costs, responsibilities, timeline, and next steps.
-
Once the proposal is approved, Travel & Toast designs and coordinates the experience, brings together the right partners, and remains your trusted point of continuity from preparation through delivery.
Questions, answered.
Every journey and celebration is different, but these are a few things you may be wondering before we begin.
-
A personally hosted journey includes Ajay accompanying you for part or all of your time in India, as agreed in your proposal. In addition to helping shape the experience, he provides cultural context, continuity, communication support, local coordination, and a trusted presence along the way.
-
India is vast, and experiences vary by place, timing, and circumstance. No planner can guarantee safety, but Travel & Toast helps reduce avoidable uncertainty through careful routing, vetted accommodations and transportation, trusted local partners, cultural preparation, clear communication, and support when plans change. The level of on-the-ground involvement can be tailored to your comfort.
-
Travel in India can involve weather disruptions, transportation delays, closures, vendor changes, or other unexpected circumstances. Depending on your selected level of support, Travel & Toast can help communicate with local partners, evaluate alternatives, adjust reservations or logistics, and keep the people involved informed. Any additional supplier costs or change fees will be discussed whenever possible before new arrangements are confirmed.
-
Travel & Toast can share practical destination guidance on food and water precautions, climate, hydration, travel insurance, and access to medical assistance. We may also suggest topics—such as medications or vaccinations—to discuss with your healthcare provider. This guidance is educational and does not replace professional medical advice.

-
Our goal is not simply to find the lowest price. We help clients pursue fair, competitive, and transparent pricing while considering quality, reliability, safety, service, and the vendor’s ability to deliver. The cheapest option is not always the best value—or the right partner for an important experience.
-
Travel & Toast can research, recommend, and coordinate travel arrangements according to the agreed scope. Who makes each reservation, receives payment, and assumes responsibility will be clearly explained in your proposal. Where required, bookings will be handled through appropriately qualified or registered partners.
