When one thinks of weddings, a joyous occasion is what usually springs to mind. People who have tied the knot will tell you that although their wedding day was an unforgettably special day, it was also one of the most stressful times of their lives. Most of them will probably say it was all worth the commotion and their only regret is that they didn't take the time to enjoy themselves, soak in the atmosphere and cherish the moment.

If you're yet to get married, you should be made aware of all the available options out there to opt for while planning your big day. You could even choose to get a wedding planner instead, who will not only take care of the details of the wedding and reception, but would also look into the small details in order to perfect your wedding day. Additionally, it would save you from constantly running after the caterers and florists as the wedding planners would sort out the food, venue and decorations for you to ensure you have a stress-free day.

Organising a wedding in London can magnify the scale of the problems so if you're getting hitched in the capital, then an event planning company is almost essential. One such event planning company who would not disappoint is Ragamama Ragasaan.

Ragamama is an event planning company based in Northolt and it has been building its reputation and expertise for over a decade. Ragamama began as a specialist caterer and has now gone on to build links with some of the most prestigious venues in the Southeast, as well as in places like the Midlands, Luton and Berkshire. In 2005, the company expanded to become Ragamama Caterers and Event Managers and now provides services for corporate functions, VIP parties, product launches, charity events and birthday celebrations. This fully encompassing service takes all the worry away from the occasion that should be enjoyed and savoured.

Ragamama has specially trained wedding planners who have the experience and know how to guide the bride and groom from the first meeting up till the end of the wedding day. For Ragamama, it means much more than just providing a service to a customer; it is more about making a promise and fulfilling it. Additionally, if you have family or friends who have travelled for your wedding, Ragamama can arrange special wedding rates for the hotel rooms so that your family and friends would not have to worry about finding their own place to stay.

Ragamama is a family run business with catering in their DNA. Brothers Arun and Rocky Luthra learnt about the industry from their parents in Delhi. They have a history which goes back seven decades to just after the Raj ended in India. All these years of learning are being put to good use here in the UK helping happy couples make the most of their special day. A focus on high quality fresh food remains at the centre of the Ragamama ethos. The chefs they hire are selected from the cream of indian talent to ensure that only those with the right skills and way of thinking are added to the company. A key part of the Ragamama style is the focus on cross cultural combinations, fusing food types to give a unique taste experience. Ragamama has years of experience and expertise in Indian dishes, however their group of world class chefs have the skills to prepare a range of menus from across the globe that can cater to a wide variety of tastes. Including knowledge of Thai, Italian, Chinese and Mexican menus.

One of the key services, the company provides is the expertise of an experienced event manager; someone who will personally oversee every aspect of your special day who will be available to you before and throughout the events and you can call them as often as you wish, as per your needs. You may want to give your inputs for the wedding preparations or may feel it would be best suited if the event planners take the lead; either way, the event manager respects your opinions and will work according to your needs and within your desired budget.

When guests begin to arrive at your reception you want to ensure you give them a great first impression. As they arrive in the entrance or foyer of your chosen venue you can wow them with a number of eye catching features to greet them. Ragamama are famous for their champagne (or punch) fountain. It's a fantastic way to catch the eye and set the mood and tone for an exquisite day. And it gives your guests something to discuss as they get ready to enter the main room. You can also choose a cocktail reception with drinks selected specially for you. Your manager can offer a package for unlimited alcohol so and your guests can enjoy yourselves without worrying about overspending. If you are having a tee total wedding there a range of tropical and exotic fruit displays.

The specialist décor staff who work for Ragamama have spent years perfecting their skills so that they can maintain a balance between eye catching features and displays. Whilst keeping the small details and personal touches that make your day unique and special. You can work with them to include little stories and anecdotes from your personal story. For the staff their goal is to always put the client at the centre of all their decisions. Its all about making your dream day come to life.

No Asian wedding would be a success without a memorable soundtrack. And with your event manager by your side you be sure you can get exactly what you need. The company has a recommended list of DJ's and music professionals, and only the very best make it onto that list. However if you have someone specific in mind they can set that up too. There are also a number of live performers who you can choose to grace the stage before you hit the floor. It's the same for the photographers and cameramen. Only the top professionals make the list and that means those with a proven track record of delivering a quality product and the time and at the price they promised.

Once your big day is over and you have had the chance to see the Ragamama staff in action you can still use them again for another special day in your future. Perhaps the first year wedding anniversary, a birthday party for someone special or even a small secluded dinner party. You could even use them in a professional environment by hiring them to arrange a corporate event to impress your prospective new clients.

For Ragamama there are four key words that sum them up. Design, everything from the colour scheme, décor, displays and tables. Locate, only the very best high quality venues, along with a history of cooperation from both sides. Manage, from your first meeting with the staff to the very end of your wedding day and the important days after that. Cater, top notch fresh food made by the very best world class chefs and served just minutes after its prepared.
