When a wedding planner plans her own wedding, you know it’s going to be good. Ishita Jaggi and Devin Gill’s dreamy Toronto wedding wasn’t just a celebration, it was a five-star, multi-day experience that fused Bollywood flair, Arabian nights, serene spirituality, and pure romance into one jaw-dropping journey.
From a Mexican sunset yacht proposal to a ceremony under cascading white florals and soft breezes, this wedding was a bold reminder that love stories aren’t meant to be ordinary, they’re meant to be cinematic.
A Chance Encounter That Sparked Romance
Love found Ishita and Devin at a wedding years ago in Toronto, while Devin was visiting from Vancouver. A brief meeting, an exchanged number, and a series of texts turned into something extraordinary. Devin flew out to see Ishita while she was working abroad just six weeks later. “The rest was history,” says Ishita, whose signature warmth and adventurous spirit set the tone for their whirlwind love story.
A Sunset Proposal Worthy of a Romance Novel
When Ishita mentioned she’d always dreamed of being proposed to at sunset, Devin took it as gospel. In Mexico, aboard a private yacht, Devin timed his proposal perfectly, turning the boat so that the last rays of golden sun hit them like a spotlight just as he got down on one knee. It wasn’t just romantic; it was cinematic perfection, staged with heart.
Ishita Ki Market, Marigolds & Arabian Nights: Pre-Wedding Bliss
Why settle for one vibe when you can have all of them?
- Ishita Ki Market: A vibrant pink Bollywood-inspired setup that screamed nostalgia, energy, and playful flair.
- Haldi Ceremony: Drenched in yellow hues, wicker baskets, and hanging marigolds, this intimate gathering radiated warmth.
- Sangeet Soirée: Inspired by Dubai’s souks, Ishita sourced wallpaper and visuals during a trip and returned to Toronto to spend six hours redesigning every detail with her vendors. The result? A full-blown Arabian-inspired spectacle that had guests gasping.
Each event wasn’t just decorated, it was designed to tell a story.
The Ceremony: A Sacred Fairytale Under White Florals
At Melody Estate in Halton Hills, Ishita and Devin exchanged vows under a floral canopy dripping with white blossoms and dove symbolism. Oversized paper blooms framed the aisle like something out of a couture runway show, while live kirtan music added serenity to the already ethereal scene.
Ishita stunned in a deep red lehenga with gold and turquoise embroidery, while Devin embodied regal elegance in a traditional gold-detailed sherwani. Guests described the ceremony as “spiritual, cinematic, and surreal”, a seamless blend of Sikh and Hindu traditions, celebrating both sides of Ishita’s family.
Viral-Worthy Moment: The “We Did It” Look
After the final laavan, Ishita and Devin exchanged a simple, whispered “Congratulations” as they locked eyes. It was raw, unscripted, and deeply emotional, a moment that made everyone present feel like they’d witnessed something sacred.
Luxe But Personal: The Wedding That Broke the Rules
This wasn’t a wedding built on Pinterest boards. As a planner, Ishita designed her own events with storytelling, symbolism, and style at the forefront. Every outfit, every bloom, and every table setting carried meaning. With 420 guests, a $200k+ budget, and top-tier vendors like Doli Decor, Opulent Event Design, and Cineverse Films, this celebration had all the grandeur of a royal wedding, yet still felt intimate and personal.
The Bride’s Only Regret? Not Slowing Down
“If I could change one thing,” Ishita reflects, “it would be carving out a few more quiet moments to soak it all in.” Between outfit changes, logistics, and guest greetings, the couple’s whirlwind schedule made time feel fleeting. Yet even the chaos added to the charm.
