Summer Indian-Jamaican Wedding at Ronald Reagan Building Washington DC
On this summer day in Washington, DC, we had the pleasure of coordinating this Indian-Jamaican fusion wedding. We started the day with a ceremony Sligo Seventh-Day Adventist Church in Takoma Park, MD. Being that the couple was Seventh-Day Adventist, there was no alcohol served at their wedding reception, held at the grand Atrium of the Ronald Reagan Building in Washington, DC. This didn’t dampen the fun at all. Their culinary team did an excellent job with a buffet dinner featuring both Indian and Jamaican dishes. All photos by Mari Harsan Studios
The couple’s friend, Maurice Staple from the Acapella group Committed (as seen on NBC’s The Sing Off), sang for the bride’s processional.

We wanted to share that Washingtonian Magazine’s blog featured Cindy and Mehran’s fusion wedding. I was honored to be their wedding planner and loved their blend of Taiwanese and Bangladeshi elements on a hot summer day at the Torpedo Factory in Alexandria, Virginia.

Couple with their beloved dog, Winston.
Loved the flower wall back drop from Sweet Root Village.
The reception kicked off with a performance from a Chinese Lion Dance troupe.
Nothing keeps the energy higher than a Bhangra performance at a wedding.
