MEET RABINA

Rabina is the Founder and CEO of Aarani, a luxury wedding planning house born from equal parts precision and soul. Known for her grounded elegance and ability to translate vision into reality, she crafts experiences that honor heritage while feeling unmistakably modern. Her calm leadership and intuitive understanding of both worlds make her a trusted partner for couples navigating life’s most meaningful celebrations across continents.

Her story began long before Aarani. Raised in India and later moving to the United States as a teenager, Rabina learned early how to bridge cultures and expectations with empathy and grace. That ability to balance structure with sensitivity became the foundation of her craft.

Before launching Aarani, Rabina spent years as a CPA managing multimillion-dollar portfolios. Those experiences taught her the value of clarity, accountability, and composure in every high-stakes moment. When she planned her own wedding in India from the U.S., she realized that even with her project management expertise and cultural fluency, the process was unnecessarily complex. Out of that realization came a calling to build a brand that marries Western polish with the richness of Indian tradition, transforming complexity into something seamless, beautiful, and deeply human.

For Rabina, every celebration is an act of connection. A close friend once told her, “A wedding is the only time you’re at a party where you know every single person in the room.” That sentiment anchors her philosophy. Beyond logistics and coordination, she believes in curating moments that make people feel seen, understood, and completely at home.

Aarani finds its roots in Sanskrit, meaning the sacred wood that sparks ritual fires, a quiet yet powerful symbol of creation and new beginnings. That spark is the essence of the brand: transforming intention into experience and honoring culture through modern expression. Each event is approached with connection, calm, and creativity, a balance of timeless tradition and contemporary sensibility that feels deeply personal yet effortlessly refined.

The name also carries a personal legacy, drawn from her parents’ initials, whose partnership and love continue to inspire everything she builds. Like its namesake, Aarani is where sparks become stories - warm, intentional, and made to last.
