San Jose Marriott Wedding Production: Baraat to Reception

We are a preferred vendor at the San Jose Marriott. For Mona and Shashank’s wedding there, we ran the full production from the baraat to the last dance.

Baraat, Hindu ceremony, reception

Mona and Shashank.

Nirali Shah Events planned the day, and W Square handled the production for every part of it. It started downtown with the baraat, the groom on a white horse and our sound moving with the procession. Inside, we lit the Hindu ceremony room warm and low, with light on the mandap and the florals so the ceremony read clearly from the back row and on camera.

For the reception we turned the ballroom over completely: uplighting around the room, the couple’s custom monogram on the wall, screens, and full AV. The first dance happened on the clouds, with low fog covering the floor, and cold sparklers marked the big moments. DJ Love kept the floor full from the grand entrance to the last song.

The day, start to finish.

Another wedding at the Marriott.

We were also at the San Jose Marriott for Prasham and Sanj’s wedding in June 2024, with DJ Love on the music, custom lighting and sound design, a first dance on the clouds, and a sparkler moment, coordinated with the hotel team throughout. See Prasham and Sanj’s wedding ›

Why one team

Ceremony to reception, one crew.

A hotel wedding moves fast: the baraat outside, the ceremony in one room, and the reception in the ballroom, often with a room flip in between. Because one crew runs the sound, lighting, screens, and music for all of it, the timeline stays with one team from the first song to the last.

Questions about the San Jose Marriott.

Have you worked at the San Jose Marriott?

Yes. We are a preferred vendor at the San Jose Marriott, and we produced Mona and Shashank’s wedding there, planned by Nirali Shah Events, covering the baraat, the Hindu ceremony, and the reception.

Can you light the ceremony as well as the reception?

Yes. At the San Jose Marriott we lit the Hindu ceremony room and then the reception ballroom, so both looked finished in person and in photos.

Can you add dancing on the clouds and cold sparklers?

Yes. We ran both at the San Jose Marriott reception, and we confirm every effect with the venue ahead of time.
