Our Philosophy

A celebration is how a story
asks to be remembered.

We believe the truest celebrations are not produced — they are composed. The handwritten place card. The song that played in a kitchen in 2014. The colour of a grandmother's sari, returned as a thread of light across a banquet table. We design a small number of celebrations each year, so that every one of them can carry the weight of a story told properly.

“The grandest gesture in any room is the one only two people understand.”

Signature Celebrations

A few stories we have
had the honour of telling.

Candlelit lakeside proposal setting in Udaipur

The Proposal

Aastha & Raghav · Udaipur

One question, four hundred candles, and a lake that kept the secret until sunset.

Rain-washed coastal wedding mandap in Goa

A Monsoon Wedding

Zara & Vikram · Goa

They met in the rain. So we let it rain — and built the evening around the sound of it.

Marigold and gold mehendi courtyard in Jaipur

The Golden Mehendi

House of Khanna · Jaipur

A haveli courtyard, ten thousand marigolds, and henna drying in the afternoon light.

Intimate golden anniversary dinner table in New Delhi

Fifty Years of Us

The Mehra Anniversary · New Delhi

Their 1974 wedding menu, recreated course by course, for forty of their oldest friends.

Fairy-lit garden sangeet stage in the hills

A Garden Sangeet

Ishita & Dev · Mussoorie

A hillside orchard strung with lanterns, and a dance floor under the deodars.

Moody candlelit private dinner in Mumbai

Midnight in Bombay

A Private Birthday · Mumbai

Jazz, oxblood velvet, and a rooftop that didn't empty until the city went quiet.

What We Craft

Six ways we tell a story.

  1. I

    Weddings

    From the first haldi to the last vidaai — complete celebrations composed over days, designed around the two of you.

  2. II

    Proposals

    One perfect moment, planned to the minute and kept beautifully secret until it isn't.

  3. III

    Intimate Celebrations

    Anniversaries, homecomings, baby welcomes — small rooms, deep meaning, every detail accounted for.

  4. IV

    Birthdays

    Milestone evenings that feel like the person they honour — never a template, never a theme off a shelf.

  5. V

    Destination Events

    Palaces, coastlines, hill stations. We travel with the story and bring our entire atelier with us.

  6. VI

    Design & Décor

    Spatial design, florals, tablescapes, light. The visual language of your celebration, drawn by hand first.

The Experience

How a story becomes a celebration.

Discovery

We begin with conversation, not contracts. Long teas, old photographs, the way you met. We listen for the details you don't realise are details yet.

Design

Your story becomes a design language — palettes, textures, spaces, sound. Presented to you not as options, but as a world.

Detailing

Months of quiet, obsessive craft. Menus tasted, linens pressed, light rehearsed at the exact hour of the event. Nothing is left to the day.

The Day

You are a guest at your own celebration. We hold everything else — invisibly, completely — so all you carry is the moment.

The Studio

Merakhi & Muse

Merakhi is borrowed from meraki — to do something with so much soul that you leave a piece of yourself in it. The Muse is you. We are a small design house that believes celebrations are the most personal architecture there is: built once, inhabited for a night, remembered for a lifetime.

We take on a limited number of celebrations each year. Not because we are precious about it, but because the details we care about — the ones that make a guest stop mid-sentence — cannot be done at volume.

“We don't decorate events. We furnish memories.”

Words From Our Couples

“They found my mother's wedding bangles a place in the décor without telling me. I saw them at the entrance and wept before a single guest arrived.”

— Aastha, Udaipur

“It rained on our wedding day, exactly as we feared. It turned out to be the most beautiful thing that happened — because they had planned for the rain like it was a guest of honour.”

— Zara & Vikram, Goa

“Fifty years of marriage, and my father said the dinner felt like 1974 again. I don't know how they did that. I'm not sure I want to.”

— Rohan Mehra, New Delhi
