I contacted this lady from Alankar wedding decorator for my wedding decoration. Please stay away…read morefrom her. She is the worst vendor I have ever met, she lies that she can do any kind of design. First conversation she would make is, ask for her competitors quote and says I can give you lower price than them. She never suggest any new design or make any effort to show on new designs all she wants is about her competitors picture and quote so pathetic. She has no creativity all she does is just copies her competitors and tell she does it for less. When I asked her lot of questions about her style design, and if she is confident on doing new designs she got lost and started saying you are fake, you are a cheap client, you have no budget and she started barging me with lies. She even said I'm accusing her and playing dirty games she said I know who you are. Oh god it was non stop just stay away from this lady. My parents looked at her texts and were very upset, they called her immediately, no one picked up and voicemail was full. I had to block her. She has lost her mind. We decided to go with other decorator. It's unfortunately I contacted her Below in her comments clearly shows that she is lying. I have no time for her nonsense and she is a big liar. She has nothing new to offer just asks for her competitors quotes and copies them

Shobha Shastry is amazing. She runs and IS Alankar, and is completely, your safety net…read more She ran my wedding in July, she did all of the decor, she gave me contacts, she gave advice to the white Irish girl whose in-laws live in San Diego, while we planned the wedding in Massachusetts. Sometimes she's a little hard to get a hold of/to get to call you back, however she ALWAYS comes through in the clutch. She is a very busy lady, and has at least 1 wedding every weekend, but when it comes to the date of your event, you feel like you are the only one. I don't know what I would have done without this woman, I shudder at the thought. I can't thank Shobha enough for all of her help, her calm demeanor, and her keeping me sane.

I hired Peppers to cater the reception for my photography exhibition at the IFS Gallery in…read moreNewburyport, MA. From my first call with the wonderful Dianne Stahl, straight through to the event itself, working with Peppers was easy, non-stressful, and downright fun. We chose a menu to compliment the Cuban photos, and made sure there were choices for vegans, vegetarians and carnivores. The crew that arrived to help (server, bartender) couldn't have been nicer or more helpful. Honestly! It was literally ZERO stress for me. The food was delicious and the choice of a prosecco for the cocktail was a great recommendation. I would work with Peppers again in a heartbeat, and I recommend them in the highest possible terms!

They have a limit on how many families they let in at once which I appreciated. A friend came to meet us and he was 'waitlisted' but it only lasted about 5-10 minutes and he was able to come in. You can enter with your stroller and stay on the gray carpet or use one of theirs which is allowed anywhere in the room. They even had exercise bikes set up for parents to use. They don't work but it's something to do! They also have WiFi. Overall, fun place for kids! I would suggest they put sanitizer pumps all over though. They make every kid sanitize on the way in but there aren't any inside that I saw. Also, I wish there was a Starbucks in this plaza!

Owner who says has been in business for 40 years needs to learn some phone and people skills . Have…read moreused them for 3 or more years now for bouncy houses with no problems until this year. Was told when this booked that the bouncy house would be picked up the next day which was a Sunday , perfect because I don't want that behemoth sitting on my lawn for longer than 24 hours ! So when I didn't hear from them on Sunday I called and they told me it would be first thing Monday....ok ...not really acceptable but I understand. Now they are 2.5 miles away so when I called at 9:00 am Monday and the owner said they are on the way I say great . I did a couple of errands and came home around 10:15 to find their equipment still on my lawn . I called back and talked to the same "rude " so called 40 year in business owner to ask why it wasn't picked up yet and he went off on a tangent about this being the busiest weekend and 200 other customers and no help , and then went on and asked me if I was one of "those guys " who sat around and watched my lawn all day ! WTF ? Who does this guy think he is ? So .....I had to do a face to face with this arrogant so called business owner . Sure enough....just what I thought....jumped up in my face and proceeded to tell me I'ma "Kenny" .....ya know a male "Karen"....not once but at least five times ! He is a lucky man.... I would not recommend doing business with this man unless you get a written contract for drop off and pick up times . Very unprofessional.

That's exactly what you hope for in a party planner. indeed, it was weird to just "show up" at our event. All the details were taken care of. There was nothing for us to followup on and she was there the whole night to make sure things ran smoothly. All we had to do was have a good time. Let me also state the obvious: Nancy's services are not the cheapest. BUT, you do get what you pay for which is outstanding service, terrific followup, and a partner for your event. Strongly recommend her for any wedding or mitzvah. Amazing indeed.

I was initially very nervous to hand over my wedding to her as I had spent SO many hours on all the details but I'm SO glad that I did. She executed it with such attention to detail. I mean she was even replacing candlesticks as they were burning out! It was so helpful having her there to navigate the ceremony rehearsal the prior day and then making a weather call the day of. Her and her team worked SO hard to make all my wedding dreams come true. Whenever an issue came up they were very quick to fix it. She was extremely adaptable and no problem was too big for them to solve. My seating assignment were hand written cards that they had to so meticulously hang each card with lots of different adhesives. They kept us on a tight timeline even though all the speeches were WAY longer than they were planned to be. I'm so grateful for her an her team and she is such a pleasure to work with.

The short story is... I was extremely disappointed in how the owner conducted business. She was…read morerude, unaccommodating and I would not recommend this place to anyone. The long story... We tried to get a large group together, it was a Christmas gift. It took a while to get so many people together at once but finally my cousin did. When we booked it we found out there was another party that afternoon. We contacted the owner and wanted to know if we could book another time since there was so many of us going. She replied she couldn't accommodate us because it was a groupon and wouldn't make any money off of it. We explained how hard it was to get everyone together so she grudgingly told us we could go the morning before the other party. However when we found out three out of the many couldn't make it but the rest of us still wanted to go, she gave us a hard time because the number change but when we said we could keep the same number by bringing someone else, she refused to help accommodate us and so we had to cancel all together. Luckily groupon refunded us.
