Farida & Sami

The story

Farida grew up in Tower Hamlets; her family roots are in Sylhet. Sami's family is from Beanibazar. They planned a destination wedding in Sylhet, flying 80 UK guests in and combining with 500 family members from across Bangladesh.

Kushiara was chosen for its 1,000-guest capacity and proximity to Osmani Airport. The biggest challenge was coordinating from London — vendor calls happened at 3am UK time. They worked with a Dhumdham coordinator for the final 6 weeks, who handled venue visits, deposit holds, and timeline coordination on the ground.

"Planning from London with my mum in Beanibazar was a nightmare until we had one person in Bangladesh accountable. Worth every pound."
