Wedding Planners: Vithika Agarwal and Gloria Buckman Yankson

Available for over a year

Vithika Agarwal runs a successful wedding planning business in Bangalore. Weddings in India are big business and are heavily influenced by Bollywood, so it is Vithika's job to make sure couples feel like film stars for their celebrations. She says she is never phased by unusual requests and has seen grooms arriving in helicopters and brides jumping out of books. Ghanaian couples from all kinds of backgrounds choose Gloria Buckman Yankson to plan their weddings. She says the celebrations traditionally start with the engagement and continue to the reception. Gloria, who has made her name as one of Ghana's leading entrepreneurs and business women, says keeping your cool is essential in this job and reveals what happens when things don't quite go according to plan.
