She said, “Weddings in India are a roller coaster of emotions – the bride, the groom, the friends, the families and a whole bunch of creative people that bring a wedding to life. When RPSG Lifestyle India conceptualised Manifest Life, it is this essence that we wanted to capture. Stories of people associated with this industry, real weddings and all that goes behind creating India’s most talked-about celebrations. Wed In India by Manifest promises to be an evening of celebration with some of the brightest minds who are responsible for beautiful weddings. Manifest Life has only just started its journey.”

For us at Manifest, it’s very important to engage with the experts and planners who make this dream for people possible as we inspire them to make memories for a lifetime. A city like Mumbai which is so energetic, joyful and colourful – also the theme of our current edition – made for the natural choice for Wed in India.”
