The event was held at the recently renovated, Holiday Inn Bunker Hill in Somerville, MA.  The format of the event began as a networking opportunity for wedding vendors, community friends, and even wedding couples with the basic premise of getting to know each other. The ballroom conveyed an amazing display of Mint To Be featured branding, including an ice sculpture that embedded the Mint To Be logo from within it from Brilliant Ice Sculptures, and a hashtag in lights that spelt "#Mint2B" from Your Love in Lights.  The team even managed to bring in an actual Tuk Tuk rickshaw from Boston Rickshaw Company into the ballroom. 

The agenda was formally introduced and further defined in a presentation led by Yogi Rana and Tanvi Rana, co-founders of Mint To Be Events.   Yogi Rana recited his past experiences of being a child not too far from the hotel where the event was held, citing the he didn't know what being Indian meant as a child, and echo'd the importance of uniting the community, specifically in the wedding market where the bride is getting smarter, and where the competition is getting ruthless. "The onus is on us (wedding vendors) to bring Indian weddings in Boston to a new level," says Rana.  He further explained the value of better understanding today's bride, and how a planning agency, like a Mint To Be Events can bridge the gap of wants and needs, and keep everyone united.  Tanvi Rana then took the inspired crowd into the details of wedding planning.  From budgeting, to creative design, Tanvi walked the crowd through the complexities of what a wedding is.  Guests were also presented with real life stories of two couples of whom had their own weddings planned by Mint To Be Events.
