Our story

It started with one wedding in Dehradun

Shrim Events began the way many good things in Dehradun do: with a family wedding that needed more hands than the family had. Ritu took on the décor and the guest list, Tushar the vendors and the logistics. The wedding went well enough that the neighbours asked for their daughter's sangeet the following winter.

Twelve years on, the studio at RS Pratham in Defence Colony is home to planners, designers and a production crew who have handled more than 650 events. There have been mandaps overlooking the Doon valley, riverside sangeets in Rishikesh, leadership offsites in pine forests, launch nights in the city and birthday dinners in back gardens.

The name comes from श्री (shri): auspiciousness, grace and prosperity, the word written at the top of wedding cards and new account books alike. It's a reminder that every event is a beginning for someone. We try to treat it like one.

Why Shrim

What makes us different

Plenty of people can make an event look good. What clients tell us they value is how calm it feels: nothing forgotten, nobody stressed, and every detail thought through before anyone asks.

One planner, start to finish

The person who takes your brief is the person on the ground on the day. No hand-offs.

Design in-house

Our own designers and fabrication crew, so the render and the real mandap match.

Local knowledge

We know which roads close in the monsoon, which venues have backup power, and who to call at 2 am.

Transparent pricing

Itemised estimates, vendor bills at cost and no hidden commissions. You see every line.

Run to time

Minute-by-minute run-sheets, rehearsals and a show-caller, so muhurats are never missed.

Plan B, always

Rain covers, generator backup, spare vendors and a weather call two days out for every outdoor event.

Our approach

From planning to execution

01

Listen

We start with your people: who's coming, what matters to the family, and what you want everyone to remember.

02

Design

Concept, layouts, mood boards and 3D renders, with an itemised budget alongside.

03

Coordinate

Vendors, venues, permissions, travel and rooming, tracked on one shared plan.

04

Deliver

Rehearsals, show-calling and a crew that stays until the last guest has left.

Testimonials

In our clients' words

Team standing in a lake at sunset with arms raised during an outdoor offsite

We took 120 people from our Dehradun pharma company to Rishikesh for two days. Arjun put the sessions in the mornings, rafting and a nature walk in the afternoons, and ended with a riverside dinner people are still talking about. Rooming, safety briefings, coaches: all handled. My inbox had zero complaints afterwards, which has never happened before.

Manish JoshiHR Head, Annual Offsite in Rishikesh

For our skincare range launch we had three weeks, a hotel ballroom and 250 retailers and media guests to impress. Shrim built a stage set that looked nothing like a ballroom, ran the reveal cues to the second, and had the DJ keep the energy up through networking. Our sales team left that evening with a full diary of distributor meetings.

Our children planned this as a surprise with Meher's help. They recreated our wedding mandap in the garden, brought in folk singers for the Garhwali mangal geet we had at our wedding, and served the same menu from that day. When the photographs from our wedding appeared on the wall, neither of us could speak.

I was seven months along and in no mood to manage anything. Ananya put together a soft sage-and-cream godh bharai at home, with a comfortable seat for me, ginger tea for the aunties and games that even my shy in-laws joined. Everything was cleared by evening. I just had to show up and be spoilt.
