Vaishali Dev

Co-Founder / Empowering Leader / Creative Director – Event Planner

For as long as I can remember, I’ve always had a passion for curating beautiful events from preparing the meal, decorating the table, and planning down to the smallest detail. My love of traveling, organization and planning has always carried over into my work. There is nothing more rewarding than enlightening others – to turn their dreams into reality and seeing people at their happiest from the beautiful bride to the guests. Everyone has their unique tastes and style. Whether you are wanting a professional, classic, whimsical, romantic or rustic event, I love creating a unique experience that will truly reflect you or your business. I also enjoy discovering that “wow” factor for your big day that exceeds expectations! No matter the size of the guest list, every special event deserves to be timeless, memorable and exquisite. I look forward to learning more about you, and your vision for your next event.

Event Coordinator

“Seva Dil Se” (Service from the Heart) is the foundation of everything I do. As an Independent Event Coordinator, I am passionate about creating memorable experiences that bring people together and celebrate life’s most special moments. Originally from Chennai, I have called San Antonio home for the past 23 years. My journey has been shaped by my loving family—my supportive husband, wonderful daughter, and amazing son—who inspire me to embrace new opportunities and challenges. My role as an event coordinator has allowed me to collaborate with VIVA Global Events, where I bring vision and creativity to life through meticulously planned events. From intimate gatherings to large-scale celebrations, I strive to ensure each occasion is unique, seamless, and unforgettable. With a deep respect for culture and connection, I aim to bridge traditions, foster relationships, and leave a lasting impression through my work. I believe every event is a chance to create magic, and I am honored to be part of these meaningful moments.
