Megha & Vishal Verma
Wedding Date: August 21, 2010

“We would like to express our sincere appreciation for the services provided by Mili Shah as the Event Coordinator for the wedding of our daughter Megha. This was the first wedding in our family and the first Indian wedding at the hotel where our daughter was getting married. There were many unknowns and we were afraid that we would lose control of some of the wedding events. To our pleasant surprise, all of the events took place just as planned. We and our guests were simply amazed at how smoothly everything went. Much of the credit for this goes to Mili, who was able to get all the vendors associated with our daughter’s wedding to work as a team. Mili worked very hard and was always there when we needed her. We would strongly recommend her to any of our friends looking for Event Coordinator.” – Sudha Vora (Mother of the Bride)

“I just wanted to say thank you so much for all your help on the wedding day. You and your staff made the day a success. We didn’t have to worry about anything on the day of the wedding.

Rehana & Mohammed Ali
Wedding Date: May 22, 2010

“So I am thoroughly convinced that the technology to clone human beings has not only been invented, it’s been perfected. Throughout the evening of our wedding there were roughly 27 Amy Patels running around with 27 clip boards and 27 wireless headsets. Sure this might sound a little crazy, but really this is the only explanation I can offer up. When people are good at what they do, it’s usually because they care about the result. Your passion for your work shines through in every single calculated gesture. I will recommend your services for life. You were cut out for this type of work. I mean it is afterall, your middle name.” – Mohammed Ali

“Sooooo…. i honestly don’t feel like thank you is enough! You did a FANTASTIC job! My mom is seriously your biggest fan and my brother has nothing but respect for you. I’m so happy to have found you! =)” – Rehana (Vhora) Ali

Deepa & Kiran Ghodgoankar
Wedding Date: April 11, 2009

“We had Amy start helping us several months before the wedding. She kept us on track so that we had everything organized on a timeline. She was always easy to reach by phone or email and even in person! She helped us coordinate the vendors; our hotel coordinator was please with how prepared our vendors were. On the day of the wedding, it was and cold outside and she moved the wedding indoors without any delay in our wedding. Our friends and family have told me that they were so impressed how our organized our event was and that it was the best wedding they had ever attended. We were impressed because we had so much fun at our own wedding…We would highly recommend Amy and her team.” – Deepa & Kiran Ghodgoankar

Ali & Erik Schulz
Wedding Date: March 27, 2010

Zahra & David Barker
Wedding Date: January 30, 2010

“I was referred to Amy by a friend, and am ever so grateful to have found her. I decided I needed a coordinator less than one month before my wedding, and Amy was able and willing to be flexible with my timeline, budget and various needs. From start to finish, she was great to work with. Her professionalism impressed me from the get go, as she responded to my online inquire almost immediately and had a final contract available within just days. She helped me tie a major loose end – less than one month before the wedding I didn’t have a florist I was happy with; Amy found one with a beautiful portfolio and a creative mind. In the days leading up to the wedding, it comforted me wonders to know I was working with somebody who knew weddings so well. We had a mixed Scottish-Pakistani wedding, with a mix of guests from different backgrounds and faiths. Amy was able to help us iron out the fine details from the interfaith wording of our ceremony, to the seating and everything in between. Her presence brought things together, without infringing on the uniqueness and DIY approaches we were striving for. It was a pleasure working with Amy, and I would strongly recommend her to anybody planning a wedding. There’s only so much a bride should stress about handling, the details should be left to professionals.” – Zahra & David Barker

Anjali & Amit Singh
Wedding Date: November 14, 2009

“First off, Amit and I want to thank Amy Patel and the Planning Elegance team for making our events as successful as they were!!

Amit and I set out to do what seemed like the impossible – a Hindu wedding, a Sikh wedding and a reception all in one day and at two different locations. We knew we would need help aside from family to keep the day from going haywire. We had met a few coordinators before I met Amy. My connection with her was instant as her warm personality, her strong work-ethic and her commitment to her job shined through in our first meeting. Amit and I had a vision on how we wanted to see the day play out but that meant we needed to be extremely detail oriented and work with someone who could understand what we needed – Amy was that person.

Amy was always available to us by any form of communication at any time of the day. She never pushed us into choosing any specific vendor and always provided insightful suggestions. Luckily for us we had Amy’s entire team on hand on the day of the wedding and they were able to flawlessly work with our fabulous vendors. We and our families were able to enjoy all of our events without worrying about any of the details.

Amy is a true gem – her dedication to her job and her clients is evident from all the events she has coordinated and the many long lasting relationships she has maintained. We are so fortunate to say that not only can we call Amy, our wedding planner; but a new lifetime friend.
Wishing you much continued success Planning Elegance!!” – Anjali & Amit Singh

Jamila & Ammar Yamani
Wedding Date: Oct. 24, 2009

Hiring Planning Elegance to coordinate our wedding was one of the best decisions we made for the wedding. Initially, we were hesitant to get a coordinator, wondering whether it would really help us in the end, but we quickly realized what an asset Amy and her staff were to us. She handled all the vendor information, made detailed itineraries of each event, and paid all the staff at the end of the night. During the event, she handled all the logistics, allowing us to actually enjoy the party! I highly recommend Planning Elegance! It’s definitely money and time well spent!‎ – Jamila & Ammar Yamani

Saman & Arif Sikora
Wedding Date: October 4, 2009

“Saman and I wanted to thank you so much for making both our Mehndi and Wedding so perfect. Having you there with us allowed us to really enjoy our wedding, and made it so much more memorable. Customizing a wedding package for us and maintaining constant communication with us made us feel at ease during the last month and on the wedding day, which is usually the most stressful time of the process.

Creating a wedding package for our specific needs was the best part. You never forced services on us, and you made a genuine effort to understand our needs and concerns, while staying mindful of our budget. It really made you our personal wedding planning, rather than just someone helping coordinate our wedding. In such a personal time of our lives, it was comforting to know we had someone behind who was so determined to make these nights special for us.

I also appreciated the constant communication you maintained with us. We always felt like we knew the status of our inquiries, and you always stayed on top of everything to ensure the Mehndi and Wedding went according to plan. You were always open to our emails or phone calls throughout the day, and even late at night. You also accepted our last minute changes without hesitation. On the day of the Mehndi and the Wedding, our family and friends told us they really appreciated how nice and polite you were to them, and were very impressed with how professionally you coordinated both events. Thanks again for all of your help over the past several weeks, and we’ll miss working with you.” – Saman & Arif Sikora

Sapna & Ashish Patel
Wedding Date: June 27, 2009

“Dear Planning Elegance,
Thank you so much for helping put together our dream wedding. Your team was always so professional and helpful from the very beginning and I have nothing but positive things to say! From the planned organizational meetings to the frantic day-of phone calls your team was always on top of it and managed everything in a calm collected manner. We always felt comfortable that everything was running on schedule and being taken care of, especially on the day of the wedding which was a huge relief and allowed us to actually enjoy our wedding day! I think the best part of planning elegance is their ability to customize your wedding based on your preferences, budget, culture, values, etc without forcing you in any direction. It is obvious that Planning Elegance values their clients and dedicates all the time & energy needed to get every detail perfect! Thank you again!!” – Sapna & Ashish Patel

Usually brides get stressed out because they worry that things won’t go according to their thorough planning, but having Amy there takes care of that worry, which makes your day even more special.

Prexa & David Graves
Wedding Date: Sept. 6, 2009

“Planning Elegance – and in particular owner Amy Patel – was essential in making my wedding day an amazing success. We hired Amy about 8 months before our big day, and although our venue was already secured, she gave us great recommendations on DJ’s, decor, linens, and bridal beauty services. Amy helped us evaluate our proposals and negotiate the best price with our vendors. Her expertise in South Asian weddings and the ceremonies and unique rituals associated with them was essential. Amy is very organized and kept us on task with booking our vendors and making key decisions. On the day of, Amy and her staff kept everything running smoothly and as a result, the event was a huge success. People are still talking about our wedding almost 2 months later!” – Prexa & David Graves
