What Jay and I Events does

Jay & I Events Ltd is a UK-based event decoration and design company founded in 1988 as Jay & I Services by husband-and-wife team Jay and Indira. Originally a videography outfit, the founders identified a creative gap in Indian wedding décor and launched what they describe as the UK's first professional Hindu wedding mandap service, eventually rebranding to Jay & I Events. The company designs and installs bespoke décor for weddings, receptions, ceremony staging, themed events, and micro celebrations, with a particular focus on Asian/Indian weddings alongside ceremonial work for Greek Orthodox, civil, and interfaith events.

Its core offering is a portfolio of proprietary mandap structures — including Shivalee Palace, Shreya Palace, Shreya Square, Deepavali Carved, and Meghranee Palace in 4- and 6-pillar configurations — augmented by bespoke client-named builds (Nishali, Enchanted Woodland, Kavita, Tropical, Devki, Whimsical). Complementing the mandap line are themed wedding receptions (Savoy Splendor, Mid Summer Night's Dream, Royal India, Classic, Savoy Blue, Luxury Orchid), ceremony stages, micro wedding/event packages, and features including selfie stations, floral walls, and themed installations. Operations run from a Northolt office, with on-site installation teams delivering projects across the UK at venues including The Dorchester, Grosvenor House, The Savoy, Kew Gardens, and various historic estates.

The business model is project-based and sales-led. Pricing is bespoke per event based on scope, scale, and customization, with no subscription or recurring component. Revenue is sourced from one-time project fees across mid-market and premium wedding clientele, as well as B2B-style work with venue partners. The company is privately held, family-operated, and currently sits at a headcount of 11–50; founders Jay and Indira remain actively involved alongside their sons. No external funding, M&A activity, or public financial disclosures have been recorded.
