(Indian weddings are exactly a one day affair) She was glued to the hip with me came to look at the venue, coordinated with my decorator, photographer, videographer, makeup artist, the bridesmaids, groomsmen, flower girl(s) everything she laid out was absolutely impeccable - I am a very hard critic and I can honestly say my entire experience wouldn't have been what it was if it wasn't for Eliana. I did not have to worry about a thing! She was reponsive in getting back if I asked for anything, she went out to look for props for me for different events, found the best deals she could, and most importantly followed up! She managed the bridal party so well - I was pleasantly suprised how good we were with the schedule on the big day. Me and husband were so glad we had the pleasure of working with Eliana!!!

I wasn't sure exactly what I wanted but she told me to trust her and after seeing her work from before I blindly trusted her. Was I nervous? Of course! But was I disappointed? Hell no!! She exceeded my expectations. I was blown away. The work Tamanna and her team did was impeccable. They stayed throughout the entire events to make sure everything looked right throughout the entire night. I have recommended them to my friends also. My best friend who got married shortly after me also used her for all her events and she was very happy as well.

My Experience with Happy Planning Events: A Cautionary Review…read more I am writing this to share my honest experience with Tanya from Happy Planning Events, in hopes of helping others avoid the stress and disappointment I went through. My wedding venue was ultimately canceled due to poor communication on Tanya's part and her failure to clearly explain basic contractual terms. As a professional planner, she should have guided me through the process with clarity and transparency--but instead, I was left confused and misinformed. What was promised to be a "stress-free" planning experience turned into the opposite--Tanya created more mess and work for me than she solved. She lacked basic organization and attention to detail, especially on the day of the wedding. Rather than focusing on ensuring my day went smoothly, she appeared more interested in networking with my vendors for her future business than in making sure my event was successful. She failed to keep track of our pre-planned schedule, which led to major moments being missed--including my father-daughter dance and bouquet toss. Throughout the night, she seemed more concerned about eating and staying in the air-conditioned venue than checking in with me or my husband or making sure the timeline was on track. From the beginning, Tanya made promises she didn't deliver on. I hired her as a day-of coordinator six months before the wedding. While I only paid for day-of services, she insisted on helping earlier in the process--which I initially appreciated, since this was my first wedding. However, within just two months of giving her contact information to my venue, she had already caused enough frustration with the property manager that I had to step in myself. By that point, the damage was done--he canceled our contract two months before the wedding. Thankfully, I was able to find another venue, but even then, Tanya again managed to upset the new property manager. Multiple vendors and both venue managers told me the same thing: "Your planner is very unprofessional and doesn't understand the basics of wedding planning." Despite their warnings, I held onto hope that she would follow through on the day of. Sadly, she didn't. When it came to execution, there was no flow. As the officiant, she failed to ask the DJ for a microphone (which was readily available), resulting in guests not being able to hear the ceremony. She also forgot to ask guests to stand when I walked down the aisle--something we specifically discussed in advance. A guest had to step in and call it out. Tanya is what I would call a "yes" planner--quick to agree, but slow (or unable) to follow through. I constantly had to remind her of things and even suggest solutions myself. Her behavior lacked professionalism at every turn, and she did not have the knowledge or presence of a competent wedding coordinator. What's more, Tanya was seen vaping in front of my guests--completely unprofessional and inappropriate. When she finally did get on the microphone, instead of sharing important timeline information, she spent her time talking about moving cars--something that could've easily been handled off-mic and by someone else. In the end, my experience with Happy Planning Events was full of broken promises and unnecessary stress. Tanya appeared more focused on building vendor relationships than prioritizing her client's experience or staying within budget. I strongly urge anyone looking for a true professional to look elsewhere. Don't be fooled by the branding--this service has a long way to go before it lives up to the name.

I cannot say enough amazing things about Happy Planning Events and the incredible Tanya! From start…read moreto finish, she completely exceeded my expectations and gave me the baby shower of my dreams...... all on short notice! Every single detail I mentioned was delivered to perfection. The food was exactly what I asked for, down to the last dish -- not one item was missed. The theme and color palette were spot on and came together beautifully. It truly looked like something out of a storybook! What impressed me the most was how hands-on Tanya was throughout the entire process. She found my venue, secured and coordinated with all my vendors, and made sure everything stayed on track without me having to lift a finger. She communicated every step of the way, which made me feel so supported and at ease. On top of that, Tanya designed the most beautiful invitations and stayed in touch with my guests to handle RSVPs and confirm attendance. That level of care and professionalism is so rare to find. Tanya brought my vision to life in every way possible. I felt celebrated, stress-free, and truly seen throughout the whole experience. I'm so grateful to have worked with her, and I will absolutely be booking with Happy Planning Events again for future celebrations!

I will start by saying Maritza is a sweet person, i did…read moreenjoy working with her, but i do not appreciate how things went down the day of my wedding. I will say the ball like centerpiece and my table cascading flowers were beautiful but it stops there. Yes she is sweet but she is also very busy. Very hard to get a timely appointment, but i guess that's understandable. Regarding my wedding , she provided me fake flowers when i was greeting each guest table i noticed real flowers were mixed with fake, when i paid for REAL. No where on my contract does it state fake flowers will be used, but on my wedding day at mother in-law table once i got close up it looked so thick so I leaned in close, and I touched it just to make sure it was fake because I couldn't believe what I was seeing. I was in a state of total disbelief. Now during my mock up she did use a mix of fake flowers but she told me that she didn't have enough fresh flowers in the store to finish the mock up, and I thought that was the reason she used fake flowers during the mock up. Keep in mind I'm near sighted I didn't have my glasses on so I had to get close up of everything. At the venue a lot of the the center peices looked like they were thrown together very sloppy it didn't even look like my vision or what she showed me in the store for my mock up it was sooo sloppy. Some of the centerpieces even leaned to the side the halo centerpieces had gaps it looked flowers was missing like it wasn't enough flowers. At the top of some of my centerpieces they wasn't even finish even underneath them. I have a picture actually a video that I took of the centerpieces. My bridesmaid bouquets seems rushed and whatever dye that was use dripped on the girls dress and had pink stains all on their dress. It was like it needed more time to dry or something. Now The size was totally off the bouquets she delivered were nice but very small it was not the size bouquets I paid for or the Bouquet I showed her in the pictures the size was totally off it looked like junior bridesmaid Bouquets . I've been thinking if I should sue her I'm still undecided i paid a little more then 6k I'm hurt

It's been exactly one year since our wedding, and we want to extend our deepest thanks to Annie and…read moreUna, without whom we could never have dreamed of having a wedding that is as beautiful, well planned, and seamlessly executed as we did. From the minute we reached out to them, they had been nothing short of perfect: thoughtful, versatile, responsive, professional, and so incredibly empathetic. And thanks to our crazy Silicone Valley hours on top of the East Coast-West Coast distance, Annie and Una spent many late nights going over mood boards, design proposals, and vendor options with us to make sure we are hitting our deadlines and on the same page. A little bit about working with the venue: we had chosen the Asian Art Museum and there were many constraints that came with it. Not only was there the challenge of lighting and decorating an indoor space with limited natural light, but there was also a very strict timeline on the wedding day itself (we had to wait until after museum hours before any set up could begin). Thanks to Annie's design background and extensive experience, we were able to put together a magical and picture perfect day for us and all of our guests. We have received so many compliments on the beauty and quality of our wedding throughout this first year, and it's all thanks to the two of them. On the wedding day itself, even when under the stress of managing so many people with so little time, Annie and Una remained empathetic, organized, and professional throughout. My husband and I truly enjoyed every single interaction that we've ever had with them, and we owe them so much. Thank you, Annie and Una, for all of your creativity and sincerity. We love and miss you both so much!

Daughter of Design offers a few different packages, and we opted for the month-of wedding planning. As soon as we hit July, Sarah was all over the coordination of the vendors, decorative details, timelines, tipping, you name it. But the real magic comes on the wedding day, where the Daughter of Design team ensures a seamless transition from planning into reality. Some of my favorite details from their service: a timeline down to the minute by minute breakdown for both the rehearsal and the wedding, managing of the tips for all of the vendors, being the liaison between us and the venue, and of course, directing all the traffic from wedding party to the guests and the event. Their attitude and service always put me at ease, and made me feel dangerously relaxed for the wedding :) Unless you want to be the bride running around with a clipboard on your big day, I would recommend signing up with Annie/Sarah now. Regardless of how organized you/your fiancee are, the amount of stress that these girls takes off your plate is well worth it!
