Inside The World Of 1SW Events
Known for their breathtaking mandaps, luxury styling, and cultural finesse, 1SW Events has become the name behind some of the most spectacular South Asian weddings in the UK and beyond
When it comes to weddings, South Asian celebrations are in a league of their own – multi-day spectacles that blend emotion, beauty and deep-rooted tradition. But transforming that cultural richness into a luxury experience takes vision and artistry. That’s exactly what 1SW Events delivers.
Founded by Timmy Kader and Sohail Majeed, the London-based company has spent over 20 years redefining what luxury means for modern Asian weddings – bringing bespoke design, couture-level décor, and heartfelt service to every event.
s, every wedding is personal,” says co-founder Timmy Kader. “We don’t see ourselves as suppliers; we become part of your story. We want your guests to walk in and say: this feels like you.”


Blending heritage with modern luxury
From Hindu mandaps draped in cascading florals to minimalist Nikkah stages framed by candlelight, 1SW Events understands that beauty lies in balance. Their work marries tradition with innovation – preserving sacred rituals while embracing contemporary aesthetics.
“We’ve always believed in honouring culture without compromising style,” says Timmy. “Our couples are proud of their roots, but they also love design. Our role is to bring both worlds together seamlessly.”
That cultural fluency is why 1SW has become a go-to for South Asian weddings at venues like The Dorchester, The Savoy, and Grosvenor House, spaces that demand precision and polish.
Designing the experience, not just the décor
A 1SW wedding is never just about how things look – it’s about how they feel. From the scent of the florals to the play of lighting and sound, the team thinks in layers.
Timmy explains, “Luxury isn’t just gold accents or chandeliers; it’s the feeling of effortlessness. Our couples shouldn’t have to worry about a thing – that’s where our experience really matters.”
Their all-in-one service covers planning, décor, lighting, florals, props, and styling – everything needed to transform a space from empty hall to breathtaking celebration. The team’s calm professionalism means couples can truly enjoy the magic of their day.


What the couples say
Real couples echo that same sentiment. Heena and Darprit, who married in 2024, recall: “Timmy understood our vision from the first meeting. The décor was stunning – it genuinely felt like our dream come to life. Her creativity and warmth made the whole process so easy.”
Another bride, Raj & Nikita, shared: “We used 1SW for all three of our wedding events – mehndi, ceremony, and reception. Each one had its own personality, yet everything felt cohesive. Even when the weather changed our outdoor plans, Timmy and Sohail stayed calm and created something equally beautiful indoors. We were blown away.”
From concept to couture
1SW’s design process starts with listening – understanding each couple’s story, style, and priorities. Then comes the creative magic. The team presents detailed visual concepts and colour palettes, followed by bespoke production.
Whether it’s a floral mandap at St. George’s Hall, a chic white Nikkah at The Dorchester, or a destination wedding in Italy, the hallmark of 1SW’s work is its refinement. Every petal, fabric drape, and light beam is considered.
Timmy smiles, “We love when a bride says, ‘I never imagined it could look this good.’ That’s when we know we’ve done our job.”


Trusted by icons
It’s not just couples who trust 1SW – celebrities do too. The team has created events for Jay Shetty, Amir Khan and Faryal Makhdoom, and even Bollywood star Kareena Kapoor. But despite the high-profile clientele, their ethos remains grounded. “We treat every event – whether it’s intimate or grand – with the same level of care,” says Timmy. “Our clients often become friends. That’s the best part of this job.”
