A Community We Are Proud to Serve
Wedding Décor for the Bhutanese-Nepali Community of Central Ohio
Columbus holds a distinction few outside the community realize: it is home to the largest Bhutanese-Nepali population in the United States — roughly 30,000 people, with deep roots in Reynoldsburg, Whitehall, and the east side of Columbus. What began as resettlement in the late 2000s has grown into one of the most vibrant, close-knit communities in Ohio, with its own temples, businesses, cultural organizations, and — every wedding season — some of the most beautiful, joyful celebrations in the city.
Events By Maryam decorates Bhutanese-Nepali weddings with the cultural understanding these celebrations deserve. We know that a Bhutanese-Nepali Hindu wedding is not one event but a sequence — the engagement and pre-wedding gatherings, the Mehendi Raat filled with music and henna, the arrival of the Janti procession, and the Swayambar ceremony where garlands are exchanged and the couple is joined before family, priest, and sacred fire. Each moment calls for its own setting, and we design them all.
From marigold garlands and traditional red-and-gold mandap staging to modern fusion receptions that blend Nepali tradition with contemporary luxury, we build celebrations that honor where your family comes from and celebrate where it is going.
What We Decorate
Every Celebration in Your Wedding Journey
Swayambar ceremony staging — the sacred central setting with mandap-style structure, floral garlands, kalash arrangements, and seating for the priest and families. Mehendi Raat — vibrant, music-filled henna nights with low seating, colorful drapery, and photo-ready backdrops. Janti welcome — entrance decor and pathways that receive the groom's procession with the celebration it deserves. Reception design — full hall transformation with stage, head table, centerpieces, lighting, and ceiling draping.
We regularly work in the halls and community spaces Bhutanese-Nepali families in Columbus and Reynoldsburg actually book, and we understand multi-event budgeting: most families celebrate across two to three days, and our multi-day packages are priced so that every event looks complete without paying full price three times.
Where We Serve
Reynoldsburg, Whitehall, East Columbus & Beyond
The heart of the Bhutanese-Nepali community sits in Reynoldsburg and eastern Franklin County, and that is where most of our Bhutanese-Nepali weddings take place — but we serve families across the full Columbus metro and travel throughout Ohio. If your venue is booked anywhere within two hours of Columbus, we will be there, set up early, and have every garland in place before your first guest arrives.

Do you provide mandap and traditional Swayambar staging?
Yes. We build mandap-style ceremony structures with floral garlands, drapery, kalash arrangements, and traditional red-and-gold color schemes, and we can adapt the design to your family's specific traditions and your priest's requirements.
Do you serve Reynoldsburg and Whitehall?
Absolutely - Reynoldsburg and Whitehall are at the center of the Bhutanese-Nepali community and we decorate there constantly. We serve all of central Ohio and travel up to two hours from Columbus for weddings.
Can you decorate multiple events across our wedding week?
Yes, multi-day packages are our specialty. We design Mehendi Raat, ceremony, and reception with either distinct looks for each night or one cohesive aesthetic across all events - and multi-event bookings are always more cost-effective than booking each separately.
