With a background in hospitality at Starwood and Marriott properties, Sonal Shah started her company, Sonal J. Shah Event Consultants 18 years ago in New York City, "At that time, there really wasn't any wedding planner who was well versed in South Asian weddings," she says. "My approach to each wedding is so very different and no two weddings can ever be similar. I get asked all the time, 'How much does a wedding typically cost?' and it is very difficult to provide a simple answer because every single wedding is truly a custom event."

Published By Stephanie Cain, The New York Times – When Dr. Amit Patel and Martin Fulton met through Facebook almost eight years ago, neither of them had ever dated online. They didn’t live in the same state. Neither of them had ever said “I love you” to a boyfriend, and they had never introduced a significant other to their parents. Dr. Patel had not even come out as gay to his own family.

Last month, all of that was a distinct memory as the two grooms rode down Wall Street on white horses to exchange vows in a multicultural, dual-ceremony wedding that included 290 guests, a seven-foot-tall cake and several pairs of shoes.
