Who We Are

A small company, built with care

First Light Ventures USA LLC is a parent company based in North Aurora, in the Chicago area, founded and led by Sujatha Pamuluri. It was founded to give one simple idea a proper home: good work, done by hand and done honestly, deserves a company built to last behind it.

Under this roof sits Suji Wedding Essentials — our wedding brand serving couples and families celebrating Indian weddings and ceremonies across the Chicago area and beyond. Everything about us is deliberately simple: one company, one standard of care, and work we are proud to put our name on.

What We Do

Through Suji Wedding Essentials

Our wedding brand creates the pieces a ceremony is remembered by — made fresh, finished by hand, and delivered with care for weddings and celebrations across the Chicago area.

01

Fresh Flower Garlands

Varmala and ceremony garlands strung by hand from fresh marigolds, jasmine, and roses — made to order for your wedding day, in the colors and style of your celebration.

02

Decorated Coconuts & Ceremony Essentials

Kobbari bondam and the traditional pieces a ceremony calls for — each one decorated by hand, down to the last bead, so it is ready for its moment in the ritual.

03

Wedding Accessories & Rentals

The finishing touches and ceremony pieces that complete the day — available to order or rent for weddings, engagements, and celebrations at home or at your venue.
