Booking Notes

A few things worth noting before you book.

  • Unlike most pre-event station activities, guests participate in making their own garland rather than receiving one made by an artist — the hands-on element adds to the experience and makes it more engaging for groups.
  • As fresh flowers are used, garlands are best enjoyed on the day of the event. Please factor this in if guests will be travelling after the activity.
  • This activity works especially well for Deepavali celebrations, Indian cultural events, multicultural themed dinners, and public activations where a visually vibrant and fragrant station adds to the overall event atmosphere.
