Meet Nalini – Luxury Wedding Planner
I’m Nalini (Mrinalini Raman, but let’s keep it simple ), a luxury wedding planner based in Hertfordshire, creating multi-day celebrations that are anything but ordinary. From opulent Indian weddings to timeless English countryside affairs—or a mix of both—I help time-poor couples design weddings that are unforgettable, stress-free, and full of wow moments.
Before Knots & Nuptials, I ran Party Genie, a luxury children’s party planning boutique known for over-the-top, jaw-dropping events. Attention to detail, personalization, and magical experiences? That’s my specialty. My couples love that I underpromise and always overdeliver.
I was diagnosed with ADHD at 40—and I’ve turned it into my superpower. It helps me think faster, work harder, and bring fresh energy to every wedding. I adore working with both neurodivergent and neurotypical couples to create celebrations that feel uniquely them. A little about me: I’m 4ft 511 (yes, I measure in both feet and fun ), a Bollywood binge-watcher, The Holiday rewatcher, cocktail enthusiast, and mum to two amazing boys, Riyaansh and Arjun. I pour my heart into weddings the way I do family—wholeheartedly.
If I wasn’t planning weddings? I’d be in celebrity management, because let’s face it—I thrive on glamour, creativity, and the thrill of making dreams come true.
I take the pressure off, transforming complex planning into a beautifully effortless experience—so your wedding feels as good as it looks.
With me, you gain a calm, trusted partner who understands your vision and brings it to life with precision, care, and creativity. With a trusted Hertfordshire wedding planner by your side, you can expect refined planning, clear communication, and a celebration that flows flawlessly.
why work with me
My couples get the same dedication—the devotion of a lifelong friend, paired with the expertise of a seasoned planner. When I’m not designing show-stopping weddings, you’ll find me sipping on a black tea (or preferably a Pornstar Martini!), catching up on Bollywood movies, or rewatching The Holiday for the hundredth time. I’m also a mum to two incredible boys, Riyaansh and Arjun, and family means everything to me—which is why I pour my heart into creating weddings that bring families and friends together in the most unforgettable way.
And if I wasn’t a wedding planner? I’d be in celebrity management. Because let’s be honest, I love the glitz, the glamour, and most importantly—the rush.
Before Knots & Nuptials, I founded Party Genie, a luxury children’s party planning boutique known for over-the-top, beautifully curated occasions. Attention to detail, personalisation, and creating jaw-dropping moments? That’s my thing.
