I began working with Henna in November 2023 when planning my sister's wedding for the following September. Over the course of 10 months, I spoke to Henna regularly where she told me about her planning services, day of coordination, and decor in extreme detail. She was reliable and understood what the vision was that my sister wanted for her wedding. She was quick to respond, transparent with pricing, and very accommodating to our budget. As we started exceeding our budget, Henna came up with multiple ideas to help cut costs and repurpose items to help us remain comfortable with our vision and pricing while also remaining true to the vision we had curated over the year of planning. Henna and her team exceeded our expectations and are so glad we went with her services when deciding on a vendor that we felt comfortable with. We are excited to use her services in the future. read more

Highly recommend Professional Party Planners. Recently used their service for my Eid open house and had a wonderful experience. Super professional and timely responses from Henna and team. They helped get me chairs, linen, and table decor for my party. Timely drop off and pick up. The whole thing was executed exactly the way I imagined. The team members who come to arrange are efficient and clean up after themselves. Will definitely be engaging their services again in the future. read more

Henna Reza and her team made our events a dream. She did decor for us for three events mehndi, shaadi and walima and each day the decor blew us away. Working with her during the planning period also was easy, she always listened and respected our wishes. Her team was present during our shaadi and walima and took care of everything as day of cordination. Our families were at ease during the event. The only regret we had was not hiring them to do our event coordination the day of our mehndi. Highly recommend! read more

Absolutely loved working with this team, most notably Henna. She brought my vision to life for my wedding. We were so happy with the way our entire wedding decor turned out, literally A-Z. It was just perfect. Henna was so responsive the entire time, the type of communication that makes you feel at ease during a stressful time. Every step of the way was easy with this team. They truly made us feel comfortable the entire planning period and especially on wedding day. Henna is an artist and very organized. They make sure everything is perfect and the way you want. I would work with them again in a heartbeat and recommend them to anyone. read more

I hired Professional Party Planners for our nikkah/reception in Nov 2023. Henna and her team went above and beyond what I had imagined for our decor. She made everything we had discussed come to life in the best way and was very accommodating until the last minute when I asked for a custom entrance mirror design. By far my favorite decor item was the real floral centerpieces and my bridal bouquet, they were more beautiful than I could have ever imagined and worked perfectly with our color scheme. Would definitely work with Professional Party Planners again on any future events! Thank you for everything!!! read more

I recently had my Mehndi and Reception and hired Prof Party Planners to do the decorating. Henna, the owner, is really awesome when it comes to bringing the final product together!! I'm the kind of bride that doesn't exactly have a vision, I just had some inspirational pics from other weddings. Henna put together 2 amazingly beautiful days that blew me away when I had walked in. She really takes the time to help you find and create exactly what you want (even before you may know what you want). I will definitely be hiring PPP again for future events. read more

Henna was amazing. She did such an amazing job for us on short notice with very very reasonable and fair pricing. To be honest, we didn't have the ability to provide a ton of direction because of a family health emergency, but Henna took what we did give her and brought it all to life even more beautifully than we could have imagined. PPP is awesome, highly recommended and would use them again in a heartbeat. She also got us SIGNIFICANTLY better decoration pricing than alternatives for great decor read more

Henna and her team provided an absolutely spectacular night for our family's Shaadi. She was extremely helpful with helping us design the setting that made for a gorgeous evening and her team helped make sure that everything ran smoothly and according to plan. Could not recommend her more!! Absolutely loved our experience! read more

It's been a pleasure working with Henna and her team to design my son's 1st birthday party theme!!! If there was a button on here to give a 10 star or more I would give it to her and her team.. your team has done such an amazing job with the setup and I loved every bit of it! The photo doesn't do much justice.. We would use professional party/ Henna over and over again. Highly recommended.. her taste for elegance and sophistication shows in her work. She makes the decorations even more beautiful than it already is . Henna was present through the whole entire process of setting up and I can't express how thankful I am for having her be the one to design my sons party theme. Thank you very very much ..it was worth it!! file:///var/tmp/com.apple.messages/com.apple.MobileSMS/LinkedFiles/BF62D86E-E125-425E-A9FB-B4B325A46815/IMG_1069.jpg read more

It was an absolute pleasure to work with Henna and her team. She was great at communicating with us throughout our planning process and made sure to bring alive our vision with how we wanted the decor to be. She even added more elements than expected to make the overall look beautiful. Henna made changes according to our needs & was very patient with us. Highly recommend her!!! read more

Professional Party Planners - A stage setup featuring a floral arch, draped curtains, and vintage-style beige sofa and chairs, suitable for weddings or special events. - Party & Event Planning Near Me - West Chicago, Illinois

If you are looking for a "professional" planner, Henna is the wrong person to go to. She was rude, cold and frankly inconsiderate to my wedding day. The only time you could get a her to quick respond was when she needed the collect the deposit and then the remaining money. She promised dates she could not meet, she does not care for her clients, rather she just cares about the $$. My husband had to show up the night before the finish folding all the napkins at our wedding tables, because according to her this was not included. The décor came out nice, (due to the 3rd party service she hires to set up). She was never personally there or moved a finger. I will not even post the text conversations between her. AVOID AT ALL COSTS, and the services were still EXPENSIVE. read more

Henna did an awesome job at my daughter sweet sixteen birthday party. The guest really liked her work and I would definitely hire her next time. read more

Henna was so wonderful to work with for my son's first birthday party/religious ceremony. She worked with me to go over my vision and then came up with some ideas. She helped change some things to make sure it was within our budget. The end look was superb! My pictures looked perfect because our stage was exactly how we imagined. Thank you! I wasn't sure if Henna would have been interested in working on a smaller scale party, because I usually see giant picture perfect weddings, but she treated it just as important. I highly recommend Professional Party Planners for any of your events, big or small! read more

I hired Henna as my Mendhi and wedding decorator. Henna herself was unprofessional to work with and rude. I have never been so disrespected in my life. She didn't print out the contract and literally told me to go print it out myself. Who makes a client print the contract? She was sarcastic and insulting in every single encounter. Although my decorations were fine, due to her character, I would not recommend her. read more

Henna, did an amazing job! I can't thank her enough for doing an absolutely phenomenal job at all 3 of our wedding events. She definitely went above and beyond and totally exceeded all of our expectations. Each day I saw the decor I was blown away by how beautiful and elegant everything looked. She really understood my vision and exactly what I was looking for. It was so easy to communicate with her. She really took the time to really understand what I was looking for and make it a reality. We're looking forward to using her for all of our future events. We could not have pulled this off without her I would definitely recommended going to her for any decor needs. read more

So I just got married at the Embassy Suites Hilton in Naperville during the first week of July, and Henna Raza and her company Professional Party Planners handled all of the decorations and setup of the event. Or at least she was supposed to. We had been meeting with her multiple times during the months before the wedding event. She always promised that she would be present during the event and she offered us choices with regards to patterns, color schemes, etc. We confirmed everything multiple times with her. However, in the week before the event, she suddenly told us that we could not use the couch that we picked out months before. Apparently it had torn. But that was fine - we just chose a different one. Then just a couple of days prior to the event, she told us that the new couch we picked out was suddenly not available. A little puzzled by this, we just went with the one she told us to use. Then on the day of the event, everything went to hell. Henna was not at our event like she had promised - apparently, she is not allowed on the premises. Not sure why she told us otherwise. Anyways, for hours, we tried to get into contact with her because things started going downhill quickly. For example, she was supposed to make sure that the cupcake and wedding cake delivery was handled properly in the kitchens. However, the cake delivery person actually showed up at my hotel room where I was getting my makeup and hair done and tried to deliver it there. It was then we tried frantically to contact Henna but she still was not answering her phone. My sister went downstairs to try and talk to the second point of contact that Henna provided us in case she was unavailable named Aaron (who works at the Embassy Suites). When my sister saw the decor, she was shocked. It was absolutely not the decor we chose and confirmed with Henna over and over again. She charged us for specific aspects of the decor that she did not deliver on. Here is a list of the following: -promised and charged us for drapes on all doors, only did one door -turned off the air conditioning at 11:30 PM (event was supposed to go on for several more hours) -promised on more LED lights than delivered -misspelled our names on the event signs around the ballroom (did not fix when we asked them to) -the reserved signs on the tables were flying off (looked like they had been printed hastily) - runner was the wrong color and too short (she told us she would give us red, but gave us white) - backdrop wrinkled and pinned hastily (shows up in our pictures) - said sofa ripped one week before event -promised ivory drapes but made everything hospital white - was very rude and unprofessional - promised she would be at the event the whole time but a couple weeks before said she couldn't -appointed someone from the hotel who was very rude and uncooperative When my sister finally got in contact with Henna, she claimed that she didn't even have the runner we decided with her. She also said the same thing about the drapes (which we had decided upon before). Aaron, it seemed, was just as unhelpful and actually started walking away from my sister as she was speaking to him. Both Aaron and Henna were supremely rude and cold towards us. We had been planning this event for many months and put in a lot of time and effort (as well as money of course) into it. What made us very angry was that we paid for certain things to be done and they were not. When we pointed this out to Henna and Aaron they said that we were over-exaggerating and nothing could be done. Thousands of dollars. Over-exaggerating, I ask you. In addition, the hotel management was not better. Nidia is the hotel's event manager and she was also unprofessional and frankly ridiculous. She started following around my father during our event and trying to get him to sign the invoice. During my wedding event. She also turned off the air conditioning around 11:30 PM. Even though we were promised a 6 hour event. This is what made me the most angry as my guests were suffering in the heat and not to mention, me. Please never do any events at the Hilton Embassy Suites Naperville or with Henna Raza at Professional Party Planners. They really made us suffer on such an important day and barely seemed to care. read more

I have used Professional Party Planners for their services on several occasions and each and every event has been crafted to perfection. They were easy to work with and worked within my budget. Hosting an event can be stressful especially when it comes to finding trust worthy vendors, PPP suggested and worked with vendors that made my events seamless. Thanks again for making the small and big events in my life memorable. Looking forward partying with them again. read more

Henna was lovely to work with!!! I'm a consultant so I'm out of state and overall unavilable during the week and I didn't have a lot of time to plan every aspect of my stage/wedding so I left the overall design to Henna while letting her know high level what I wanted. I can easily say she total exceeded any expectations I had! She was professional (which is very difficult to find with desi people), polite, and very accommodating. She was the first person I spoke to about stage decorations and I instantly hired her for both my mendhi and shalima stage. She also makes the flower necklaces, etc and my mother liked her so much that she went with her for all flower necklaces for the mendhi and shalima. Not only was Henna great for stage decorations and flower accessories, but she also recommended companies for my dessert table, jewelry and dj and all three I used for my wedding. She is very resourceful and has a lot of knowledge of the bridal market and she goes above and beyond to help her client! I HIGHLY recommend her! read more

I've used PPP services for two major events and both times we were very pleased! Henna took the time to understand my vision and brought ideas and her experience to the table, which I appreciated. I was worry-free the day of my events knowing that the PPP team would pay attention to all the details and execute flawlessly. Thank you again for your efforts and beautiful decor! Looking forward to working with you again! read more

My family and I have been using Henna's services for years and she always goes above and beyond on making your vision come to life! I would highly recommend hiring PPP for your next event! read more

I hired PPP to do the decor for 2 events for my daughter's wedding. From the day we went to get an estimate to the design changes and all the way to the actual event, Henna was so easy to work with. She's professional....on time and delivers EXACTLY the design you plan out with her. She gave us advice on design choices and understood that I wanted to stay within a budget. Truly appreciate all her work! 5+ stars!!! read more

Henna and her team are so wonderful to work with! They brought the vision I had in mind to life. Not a single detail was missed. She did a phenomenal job, keeping me in the loop every step of the way. She genuinely cares about her clients and builds a personal connection with them. It's hard to find someone this sincere in business nowadays. I'm so glad I chose Henna for the job! read more

If I could give less than 1 star I would. They were so disrespectful and are very unprofessional. Henna never contacted us after she received her money. They did not bring an item in our package and still charged us. We called Henna and she was being rude saying she will not give our money back. She did not even acknowledge that it was her fault. Poor service. Never going to Professional Party Planners again (more like unprofessional) read more

I hired Professional Party Planners for my wedding ceremony. It was a small ceremony with short notice. Both Henna and Lala provided exceptional service. They were prompt and professional and best of all reasonable price for the extraordinary service. They followed my instructions to the T. When I walked in to the Club House, I said WOW and I loved , loved my bouquet. I couldn't be happier with the florals they provided. I highly recommend them for any Decor service. Thank you Henna!! I appreciated the hard work on such short notice. read more

I used Henna first for my mehndi, shaadi and walima and she was amazing! She helped me through every step, and really worked with me to find what I wanted in my budget to make everything perfect. I have since used her for my sisters shaadi, my brother in laws walima and my sister in laws baby shower. Each time I work with her I love her more and more :) She is so sweet, caring and accommodating! Last time I worked with her she went above what most decorators would do and she made me feel like a friend more than a customer. I know I have found someone that I will always go to for any event needs. I also love how much work professional party planners do for communities in need. They are always out there involved in so many projects and organizations. She does so much but is so humble. read more

I had the pleasure of working with Henna for my mehndi and reception and she did a fantastic job at both. I got so many compliments on the stages and decor. The mehndi stage was a suggestion from her, and I was a little skeptical of the look at first, but it turned out beautiful! She definitely has an eye for design and knows what she's doing. I even contacted her last minute for a nikkah stage and she put something together for at the last hour. This company is very professional and wonderful to work with. I'm so glad I trusted them for my big day! Thank you Professional Party Planners!! read more

Had them do the decorations for my wedding and they did an amazing job. Henna is a thorough professional and is always to the point - no false assurances. They had one of the best rates in chicago, atleast amongst the ones i had researched. Would highly recommend them. I am putting them at 4 because sometimes they are tough to get hold of. read more

Henna did the decor for our wedding reception. Everything turned out lovely and we were very happy. Guess even commented on how elegant our decorations were. She was able to work with our budget to find something we loved. Highly recommend her for your event! read more

I used their services for my wedding and everyone absolutely loved the decor! The selection and quality of items was just perfect. They not only accommodate you to the fullest but also make sure that you are not wasting your money on unnecessary stuff. They were very punctual and professional in terms of their service. I'd definitely recommend them for formal or casual party decor service! read more

I engaged Hena Reza three times in two years between Dec 2015 and Dec 2017 for my three sons wedding reception. She did a fantastic job on all three occasions. Hena is awesome to work with; very polite and higly professional. She worked around our budget and delivered exactly what we agreed on. Her profesionalism is beyond reproach. I strongly recommend her for any kind of decoration. Thanks Hena. read more

I have used Professional Party Planners for some of the biggest moments in my life. My wedding, my sister's wedding, my daughters 1st birthday, my in-laws 25th wedding anniversary and most recently, my new business grand-opening. All I can say, is they are AMAZING!!! They have always manage to bring my vision to life and even better than what I imagined. The owners are so professional and completely in-tune with client needs. PPP is my number one choice and the only event coordinators I will trust for my special events. read more

Henna and her team are amazing! I've used her many times and look forward to using her again in the future! Not only are they professional but they take time to really understand what you're looking for! Recently my son's first birthday was a blast and the hall couldn't have looked any better! I highly recommend her for any party! read more

Terrible service. Very rude service. Henna the lady in charge was very rude. She didn't keep up to her end of the bargain with providing the decorations for our stage and rudely stated she wouldn't refund us for the service she didn't provided us. Never going to her again. I wouldn't recommend her to anyone. She is only after the money. Very cold and rude! Hate PPP. read more

I recently used Professional Party Planners to do stage decorations for my wedding, and they did a phenomenal job! Between planning for a few events, I didn't have the biggest budget, but one would never know by how amazing everything looked. I was very overwhelmed by all the various details that goes into wedding planning, but after meeting Henna and seeing all the different possibilities, I was definitely at ease and confident that I was in good hands. They helped me narrow down a style, colors, and various little details of which I had no idea. They were very accommodating with all the little last minute changes, and I never felt pressured. I really appreciated all the promptness and professionalism. Thank you for making my day extra beautiful. read more

Worked with Henna for my engagement event and absolutely loved it! Very easy to work with and created exactly what I wanted! Received many compliments on the decor through out the night. I would definitely recommend and work with her again. read more

This is my fifth time working w PPP and have always been very happy with the results. They are really easy to work with and provide lots of creative ideas working well within our budget. They follow up in a timely fashion and I know that they will deliver perfectly on the day of event without my involvement. I highly PPP for your next event! read more

I had an extraordinary experience with Henna at Professional Party Planners. We met with Henna about 1 month before our wedding after having met with other decorators (and not finding their decorations up to par). Henna was excellent; the decorations, stage backdrops, lighting, and table decor was beyond what we had expected, and she was very thorough in meeting with our hotel coordinator as well. The flower arrangements were exactly like the photos I had sent her (and even better looking in person!). Her fabrics are high-quality. We were able to rent chiavari chairs for 3 events for one price. The setup of all of the events (which were all in the same rooms at different times, thereby increasing their difficulty in setup) was timely and efficient. Henna was very good at responding to our questions and concerns as well. I would definitely recommend Henna and Professional Party Planners for anyone's wedding or special event. read more

This team is by far the most professional team I have ever had the pleasure of working with! They are incredible to work with and brought all of our ideas to life with their creativity and passion in making events special for their clients! Starting from a blank canvas to hearing our ideas, they were able to put together a phenomenal concept from stage decor, to lighting ideas, centerpiece arrangements, to unique vendors that we otherwise wouldn't have known even existed. It was such a fun and stress free process. We can't wait to work with them on all of our future events! read more

I can't say enough good things about PPP. My whole event was effortless. Everything was taken care of as promised and more beautiful than I imagined! Thank you for everything! read more
