I hired Chandai Events as a full wedding planner for my sister. They were absolutely amazing. They made sure everything was running smoothly and on time on the day of the event. Chandai Events made sure we had the right vendors for my sister. She listens to our needs and gave positive feedback and thoughtful ideas. My family and I sat with her and reviewed all the details and her and her team carried them out.
Loved this coordination team! We had Chandai Events for the day of & they were beyond exceptional. Through stress times they comforted us and also ensured our itinerary remained on point! Chandai and her team were on top of everything and honestly, there were no hiccups.Chandai did an amazing job with finalizing our timeline, offering sound advice on scheduling from her experience, and were so helpful to me and my family. Chandai kept us laughing throughout the whole waiting time in our bridal suite.
We hired Chandai and her team for full services for our reception. She was awesome and very easy to work with. She coordinated all the vendors, which we needed a ton of due to the nature of the venue, and everything went smoothly on the day of the reception. I highly recommend, would give more stars if possible.
Chandai just blew me away with her knowledge of cultural weddings and events. Shes such a rockstar.
Working with Chandai was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. We were organizing a large (~400 person) Indian wedding in NY, and were looking for a planner who both had experience in the area and an approach that would be customized for us. Chandai and her team offered both and more, from the start of planning to the execution of the last event.We hired Chandai ~10 months before our wedding, because we wanted a planner who would help us from start (venue searching, vendor searching, etc.) to finish (day-of execution). We had a multi-day Hindu wedding, with events starting at home during the wedding week followed by a Sangeet, wedding ceremony, and reception.Chandai was the glue that held all the planning together. The planning was happening between folks in NY and CA, and all the while it ran seamlessly using Zoom, phone calls, and texts - and all because Chandai truly made herself available to us at any time. From the start of the process, Chandai kept us calm and organized - her years of experience with not only wedding planning, but also specifically in the Northeast region, allowed us to figure out the best plan of action. Her list of contacts is far-reaching, from vendors to new, fun guest experiences to potentially include. Even though she did have these contacts, Chandai always made sure we were making the final decisions and worked with some vendors we chose independently. This made clear she was the right choice for us; she made the process personalized rather than imposing any vendors on us.Throughout the process, Chandai brought a kind, excited, and happy energy any time we spoke - this REALLY elevated the planning experience, which got stressful at times. But every time I had a worry or concern, Chandai helped me with it and her positivity always got me excited for the wedding once again. For each of our ideas, she offered suggestions of how we could elevate or add unique touches - this made clear what a creative and thoughtful planner she is, making sure our wedding would be the best it could be. She kept us extremely organized throughout the process, and as our wedding got closer she put together timeline documents for us to follow to make sure we knew the exact schedule of events. Whats more, she coordinated the contracting, scheduling, and dispersion of this timeline with all the vendors, alleviating a lot of that work for us.Any time we needed something - a cheaper dance-floor wrap option, someone to tent our backyard for a home event, even a babysitter for one of the close family members - Chandai was able to offer us many options. She made the whole process not only efficient but fun/creative for us, which really makes her stand out. She clearly took a personal investment in the success and experience of our wedding.During the wedding weekend, everything ran SEAMLESSLY. We had to shuttles 100s of guests from the hotel to each venue, and her team made sure this was done on time. Many guests and family members told us how wonderful her team was, making sure guests were kindly told where to go/be at all times. This also makes her and her team stand out - at the end of the day, the wedding was mostly about the guest experience and her team clearly prioritized this. They were punctual, efficient, and incredibly organized. For our Sangeet night, the venue had to be moved indoors last minute due to inclement weather. Chandai streamlined this change with all the vendors, and some of her team members even went to help the decorator make sure everything would be perfect before guests arrived. None of the guests could even tell the venue was switched - in fact, we received so many compliments on the event and how well it was planned!Overall, working with Chandai was the best decision we made for our planner - she became a part of our family, made sure everything ran smoothly, and kept our emotions in check. I am SO glad we invested in her as our planner, cannot recommend her & her team enough to future couples!!!

2022-01-19Chandai was a tremendous help and was truly the missing piece to our puzzle and glue to hold everything together! We organized our mid-pandemic 250 person Indian wedding in less than 3 months with a lot of help from family and friends. However as the big day approached we realized we really needed a skilled professional to take the reins and run the show on the day. We partnered with Chandai a couple weeks before our wedding and the stress just started to melt away. She took over communicating with vendors, creating schedules and easing our minds that all would go smoothly. My phone quickly began to ring less and less from vendors which enabled me to focus on myself and enjoying the day with our guests. Her team catered to our needs on the day and assisted with everything one could need. If you are debating whether or not you need a wedding a planner, you do, and if you are debating whether its Chandai Events, it is. Trust me, youll be glad you did!

2022-07-29I hired Chandai without even asking her costs for her services! From our initial conversation, Chandai made my (now husband) and I feel so comfortable. It was hard finding someone who can relate to both of us! We had an interracial wedding and Chandai went above and beyond for our wedding. She answered me no matter how late or early the texts were and always proposed solutions to all of our issues. It was also great to have someone who can speak to my family and understand them - she solved so many issues without me on the day of my wedding so I truly got to enjoy my day drama free! Thank you, Chandai!

2021-11-04We used Chandai’s planning and day of experience for our wedding in October of 2021. We couldn’t be happier with our experience from our first contact with her to the our wedding. She was able to provide us with support and was extremely responsive in answering our questions throughout the entire planning process. When it came to the day of, Chandai and her team were phenomenal in ensuring all aspects of our wedding went flawlessly. In addition to her attentional to detail, she was in constant communication with us. She provided us with support throughout the day. We couldn’t be more thankful in the professional, yet personal interactions we had with Chandai and her team. We can honestly say our wedding day wouldn’t have been what is was without her and her team being us us every step of the way. We both truly enjoyed working with her and would highly recommend any of her services!

2022-09-18We used Chandai’s partial planning service for our wedding. She was nothing short of amazing. Chandai is extremely knowledgeable in weddings from many cultures and especially in navigating weddings that blend cultures. That knowledge combined with her knowledge of vendors is invaluable. She listens, is kind, and advocates for her clients. By the end, Chandai became (and still is) a member of our family.

2022-07-08Chandai is one of the most amazing people to work with! Words simply cannot explain how much my husband and I love her. She’s extremely organized, on top of her game, and executes all the planning so well. We had her for month of planning but she easily went above and beyond. She’s so easy to get in touch with and has a solution for everything. For example: My saree Draper did not show up LAST MINUTE (after signing the contract and depositing the payment with confirmation)…Chandai popped up with a new saree Draper out of nowhere, an hour before my first look photos. My wedding was a dream wedding thanks to her. Stop looking and hire her!

2021-09-04Chandai and her team were awesome!! We had hired her as a month of coordinator for our wedding but she made herself available to us from day one and helped us so much throughout the planning process. She was always checking in with us to see how we were doing and if we needed help with any of the planning. Since our wedding was at a winery and different from a typical wedding venue, it required a lot of coordination and logistics which I was very nervous about. But, with Chandai and her team’s help, the day went smoothly without any hiccups! Would definitely recommend!

2021-09-30Chandai and her team were amazing! We hired her for coordination of our weeding but she provided services were of a planner. We worked with her for almost 2 years and she helped us navigate through the various challenges that the pandemic presented, always with a smile on her face. She was always available for random phone calls and meetings. One of our groomsmen got candle wax on their suit and her team took care of it within minutes- she just made things happen. She will always be the one of our favorite vendors and we look forward to working with her again. Highly recommend!
