Planning radiant weddings that tell your love story through moments that move, inspire, and linger long after “I do!”
Talwar Weddings & Events is based in Washington, DC and serves the greater DMV area. I also offer destination wedding services with current partnerships in Crested Butte, CO; Dallas, TX; and San Juan PR.
Talwar Weddings & Events offers several reasonably-priced wedding planning packages. To accommodate your uniqueness, each is customized just for you after an initial meeting. We offer multi-day event package options for all selections, which is usually utilized for Indian weddings.
- Event Coordination and Management: For couples that have done most of the planning themselves, but want to enjoy their wedding and sleep better the month leading up to it. I will help ensure you have covered all the details, confirm logistics with vendors, and run the show on your big day from set-up to clean-up. This package is best to book at least 1-3 months before your wedding.
- Partial Planning: For couples that have started the planning process and booked a venue or some vendors, but now want to take a step back and get expert help. With this service, I will help guide you through the rest of the planning process and make sure you have all the proper tools you need to have the wedding of your dreams. This package is best to book at least 3-6 months before your wedding.
- Full Planning: For the couples that are simply too busy or overwhelmed by the planning process. I will help you plan the full extent of your wedding from coordinating with the venue, booking vendors, and all other plans needed to make your wedding day special! This package is usually best to book a year or more before your wedding.
- Other Events: I am happy to help clients plan birthday parties, anniversary parties, proposals, engagement parties, or any celebration you want help planning or coordinating. Just reach out with event specifics to start the discussion!
Discover how to bring your dream event to life through a seamless and personalized process. From the initial consultation to the grand celebration, I promise to handle every detail with precision and care.

I'm so happy you found Talwar Weddings & Events! I decided to pursue event planning full time after planning my own wedding and all the events surrounding it. I absolutely thrived getting to make spreadsheets, timelines, and creating other “type-A” forms of organization.
Before pivoting into event planning, I had a career in International Development where I worked in the Project Management Office at a non-profit. Thankfully, I have found many of those skills apply in this new space and now consider myself the “project manager” of your events!
I have been lucky to gain experience in the industry by assisting seasoned wedding planners in the area and by planning my friends’ weddings and birthdays. I have found such a passion in this career and find complete joy in working with all kinds of people to create their unique events!
Favorite hobbies: Binging a great TV show with my husband; Going on walks with friends in Rock Creek Park; Reading fantasy books; Biking, swimming, hiking, or even just sitting in the park on a nice day
Fun fact about me: I have lived in 13 different cities, largely because my parents were in the Navy. But I moved to Thailand for two years on my own while serving in the Peace Corps as an English Teacher!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Ali as our wedding planner, and I cannot recommend her highly enough! From the very first meeting, Ali’s enthusiasm for her work was evident. She radiates a contagious energy that instantly puts you at ease, making the planning process feel less daunting and more exciting.
What truly sets Ali apart is her incredible attention to detail. Every aspect of our wedding was meticulously planned and executed, from the intricate floral arrangements to the personalized favors. She took the time to understand our vision and preferences, ensuring that every detail reflected our style and personality.
Ali’s organizational skills are impressive; she created a comprehensive timeline that kept everything on track while ensuring I never felt overwhelmed. Her ability to anticipate potential challenges and address them proactively was invaluable.
On the big day, Ali was a calming presence, coordinating vendors and managing logistics seamlessly, allowing us to focus on celebrating our love with family and friends.
Overall, Ali’s passion for her craft, paired with her remarkable attention to detail, makes her an exceptional wedding planner. If you’re looking for someone to bring your dream wedding to life, look no further than Ali!

Ali was an amazing coordinator and an integral part of what made our wedding a success! She brought an extremely detailed checklist to our first meeting and helped us feel so much more prepared for the big day. She made a timeline for the event that was thorough and comprehensive, and we got compliments about it from our venue and other vendors. Ali helped us navigate last minute conversations with vendors and was an advocate for us and our vision. During the wedding, Ali was on top of every detail and was responsive and adaptable, and made small shifts that helped the night run smoothly. She facilitated our venue decor set up (it looked so amazing the restaurant kept the decorations up for their normal service hours the next day!), and handled any last minute decisions so we could relax and enjoy the celebration. Ali was instrumental to the success of our wedding, and we are so grateful for the competence, kindness, and professionalism she brought to coordination.

Talwar Wedding & Events helped me plan our dream destination wedding in Puerto Rico. Even though we are all based in Washington DC, Ali was so helpful for us throughout the whole process. Especially when we got there and a lot of things needed to change from our original plan. We held no stress and trusted her fully! I cannot recommend Ali enough for any wedding or event planning needs you have!
