Words of praise still keep on coming ten months after the marriage. It was an incredible

delight for us to choose Payal, despite the various options we had been recommended.

Your passion, enthusiasm and composed patience was commendable. What touched me

most, was your personal presence throughout the evening. A very big thanks, let’s start

planning for the next one!”
