What can I say!! I will fall short of words to describe how amazing Kismet and their team is. From…read moreour first initial consult to the very last communication they were professional, transparent, creative, accommodating, polite, and best of all exceeded our expectations for both the wedding and mehndi party. We were blown away by the decor, and the amount of care and beauty they put into all their work from the big center pieces to the delicate florals. Everything was tasteful and absolutely stunning. All our guests were left raving about how beautiful everything was. Saadia, Kayla and the rest of the team are awesome! After almost going with a different event decorator who kept nickeling and diming on each tiny item, Kismet was godsend. We are so grateful that we picked them. It was one of the most pleasant experiences given how hectic and stressful weddings can be. I would never go with anyone else after such a positive experience.

It was exactly what I was looking for--modern, clean, and vibrant, yet still retaining that authentic Desi flair. Our family, friends, and even the vendors were speechless walking into our backyard, which you transformed into a dreamy, romantic, and festive atmosphere. We've received nothing but compliments and praises. Everyone is already expecting us to throw an anniversary party every year! Although we are a small project compared the other work you do, I truly hope we have another opportunity to work together in the future. Finding you was a blessing, and the party felt truly magical from the moment it began. I can't wait for our next project and transformation together. I would also like to extend a special thank you to Nouf and Carlos. They were incredibly patient, kind, and respectful. Their hard work is truly appreciated and will not be forgotten. We are so grateful for their effort in physically bringing everything to life

Abby is an absolute rockstar wedding planner! Where do we even start? From our very first call with…read moreAbby, we knew she was different. She wasn't just trying to sell us a package - she genuinely wanted to get to know us as a couple, our story, and the kind of vibe we wanted our wedding to have. That first impression stuck with us. Over the next two years of planning, Abby and her team brought our ideas to life and helped to make our dream wedding a reality. Design: We told Abby we wanted an "East Meets West" theme that blended our cultures in a way that felt modern and elegant, a tough balance that could've easily come off as cheesy in if executed poorly. But Abby nailed it of course, her design sense is unreal. From color palettes and floral choices to the way she tied together modern décor with cultural elements, everything was cohesive and elevated. She has an incredible eye for detail and always found creative, out-of-the-box ways to make our ideas work. The end result was a wedding that felt truly felt like us! Communication: Throughout the entire process, Abby and her team were consistently on top of communication. She kept us updated between meetings, sent friendly reminders, and made sure we were always aligned on next steps. It's easy for things to slip through the cracks when planning something this big, but Abby kept everything organized and stress-free. We never once felt out of the loop, she was always calm, professional, and genuinely fun to talk to. Vendor Management: Abby's vendor management skills are next level. She has deep connections and knows everyone in the wedding world. When we needed vendors for flowers, desserts, or décor, she already had a curated list of the best options with pros and cons ready for us. Some of our vendors were booked more than a year in advance, but Abby and her team were always on top of follow-ups, contracts, and logistics. By the time the big day arrived, every vendor was perfectly coordinated. It really felt like we had assembled the Avengers of wedding vendors! Working Style: We can't say enough about how enjoyable it was to work with Abby and her team. They're so friendly, positive, and genuinely care about their couples. You can tell they love what they do and that they actually enjoy working together - it felt like they were more of friends than coworkers. Whenever unexpected hiccups came up (and they always do in wedding planning), Abby handled them with grace and a sense of humor. She's done hundreds of weddings, so she always had the experience to guide us to make informed decisions. It was so fun working with the entire team and it made the stressful process of wedding planning feel less stressful. Execution: This is where Abby and her team truly shine. Planning is one thing, but executing flawlessly is another and they did it all seamlessly. From coordinating vendors to keeping our timeline on track, they were everywhere and nowhere all at once, putting out fires behind the scenes before we even knew they existed. The day flowed perfectly. At the end of the night, we were blown away to see how they had already packed up all our belongings, made sure our ride was ready, and tied up every little loose end without us lifting a finger. That level of thoughtfulness really showed how much they care. Budget & Financial Management: The truth is weddings are expensive, and it's easy for costs to spiral if you're not careful. Abby was phenomenal at keeping everything organized and transparent. She tracked every expense, set reminders for upcoming milestone payments for vendors, and even handled tipping for all our vendors so we didn't have to stress about it on the big day. What really stood out was her honesty and foresight -- anytime a decision could push us beyond our budget, she proactively flagged it and walked us through the financial trade-offs before we committed. Thanks to her meticulous tracking and planning, there were zero surprises at the end. Everything was clearly outlined and accounted for, which gave us complete peace of mind. In short, Abby and her team are the best in the business. They bring design expertise, organization, and heart to every step of the process. You'll see what we mean once you have the first introductory call with her. She's the kind of planner who truly loves what she does, doesn't settle for anything less than perfect, and it shows in every detail. We highly recommend her for anyone looking for a top class wedding planner!

Working with Abby and Amanda definitely made the entire wedding planning process seamless.

On the day of our wedding and weeks leading up to it, Abby and Amanda ensured that our decorations and everything came out according to plan.

On the day itself, everything fell into place perfectly -- like she'd rehearsed it a hundred times in her mind. One thing I won't forget: right before my daughter's big entrance, the toy car she was supposed to ride in broke down. Cassie didn't flinch -- sorted it out in seconds, completely unbothered. What I appreciated just as much was how much she genuinely cared. She was practically bursting with excitement watching my daughter come in, the kind of energy you can't fake. Our guests noticed too -- I lost count of how many people mentioned how seamless and professional everything felt. That was all her. If you're weighing whether to bring in a planner for your event, don't overthink it -- Cassie will make you a believer, just like she did for me.

Basically she's a glorified contractor for balloon artists, bartenders, and table decorators. She just copy pasted my inspo ideas in emails to those vendors. Also the photobooth and lighting company she refers you to is owned by her, kinda suspicious. Day of the party, she used the wrong seating chart and I had to leave the party to fix her mistake and move guests around. Unacceptable. When we expressed our dissatisfaction, she took no ownership and blamed us for last minute changes to the seating chart. The chart was finalized weeks prior to the event. Maybe she's better at corporate events? If planning a birthday party, skip the nearly $5000 she charges and you can do her job for much cheaper and with less headache.

We can't thank you enough for how amazing you and your team are. Before we even discussed having a…read morewedding planner, my husband talked to me about how he wanted everyone to have a good time, but most importantly, he wanted to enjoy our wedding as well. You made sure that everything was about us and we truly felt the magic. We love the detailed spreadsheet you made with tabs to prepare us for the wedding and the day-of-wedding timeline. We love that we were able to customize our dessert table. We love the macarons and mini parfaits. We had time to eat the desserts on the day of our wedding because you made that happen for us. We spent all day on the day after our wedding talking to family and friends and they all agreed it was one of the best weddings they've been to! We loved every minute of our wedding day. There are so many details your team made sure that we didn't miss out on and I'm so grateful that we chose you to plan our wedding. You made it the most stress-free wedding possible and we got to spend so much time with our guests. We love that you weren't afraid to tell the photographer and videographer what angles to shoot or capture. We loved that you captured so many additional photos and videos. You were so flexible and adaptable to everything. We cannot imagine how our wedding would be without you!!! You went above and beyond our expectations! You treated us like family and we are eternally grateful. We will forever recommend you to anyone that wants to plan an event, celebration, or wedding. Everyone we talked to said that you are the best. Thank you for being a part of our special day!!!

Smita Mohindra and her team at Ethnic Essense (EE) did an extraordinary job in planning, managing…read moreand executing our daughter's wedding celebrations over the last weekend of June 2026. Indian weddings are multi-day affairs with several separate events. Coupled with that, our son-in-law comes from a Mexican heritage. The EE team took all of these into account to visualize and implement a memorable, once-in-a-lifetime experience for us and all of our guests at a beautiful venue, the Hyatt Regency Resort in Huntington Beach, CA. Their services included complete event planning and timeline orchestration, coordination of multiple wedding components, including, specific location/venue selection and decoration for each event, Hindu priest for the wedding, bridal party hair & make-up, DJ & Lighting, Groom's horse and dhol (drum) player for the "baraat", catering for multiple events including "Chai Time", Appetizers & Dinners for Sangeet and the Reception, shuttle service between 2 guest hotels and wedding venue, etc. Many of these activities were implemented using different vendors, but EE had a ready list of tried and tested vendors for each, and they handled the actual negotiations on our behalf. Each event venue was very creatively conceptualized with Indian & Mexican elements and masterfully executed to create a lovely ambience. Smita's background and experience in design was amply on display! The DJ did a super job in getting everyone to get off their feet and join in the fun. The caterer, Manohar of Delhi Palace, served up a delicious cornucopia of appetizers and entrees that included items featuring Mexican, North Indian and Bengali flavors. EE helped us to refine the fusion menu that included items such as churros, kulfi-faluda, 3 types of halwa, paneer & lamb tacos, avocado fries, variety of kababs, luchi-kosha mangsho-dum aloo, etc. I would like specially recognize our event planner, Jennifer, who did a masterful job guiding us over a 15 month period planning our event and managing all day-of activities. She was ably assisted by the EE team, including Rippu, Neha, Priya and others. The EE proactiveness and attention to detail was really awesome. Case in point: I fell accidentally on the night before Sangeet and was hospitalized. They set up a livestream so that I could watch it from my hospital room. Next day, I got released in a wheel chair/walker so I could participate in the ceremony, and they had a ramp built to get on the wedding "mandap"! All without us asking. All said and done, we are very happy with all that EE did for us and would whole-heartedly recommend them to anyone considering an experienced event management team who can deliver memorable experience.

I booked Adina I believe in 2018 and she is not only professional but she is sweet, humble, and genuine. She worked with us every step and hurdle the pandemic caused.

When the day of happened all that I dreamed of came to life. She worked with our budget and was realistic with us on what was worth getting to achieve the look and experience we wanted on our special day. All of our guests not only loved the venue, which is one of the exclusive venues of Event Loft, but they said the food and staff were impeccable. We have guests that continue to tell us that the venue was a gem to find and that everything was well scheduled. We booked everything with Event loft, except for the DJ and sofreh designer. She was very kind to the other vendors and helped them when needed. We have the most memorable photos, video and the flowers were beautiful and excellent quality. I couldn't imagine not having Adina and her team working our wedding. I simply can't thank them enough.

Our wedding was a dream and we couldn't have pulled it all together without their quick responses and help to make our day amazing.

My wife's bridesmaids paid for Liz, Daniel, and an assistant to work our wedding as a shower gift…read more I know the price though and I can say with certainty that it was WELL worth it and is something I would gladly pay for myself in hindsight. We got married at Cravens Estate with 200 guests. Cravens is (or "was" since we were told ours would be the last wedding there; damn those snobby, rich, complaining neighbors!) a venue where you bring everything yourself -- food, booze, tables, chairs, musicians, servers, etc., so as you can imagine there is quite a bit of coordinating that had to be done. Liz's team met with us several times in the six months leading up to our wedding. We had some minor snafus nailing down meeting dates/times because they were coming from out east and we live close to Santa Monica, but we made it work. Our venue added restrictions seemingly every month thanks to those pesky neighbors, and Liz and Daniel were good about brainstorming workarounds with us. As for the big day, everything went great. They basically took care of everything that we were too busy to check on ourselves, and I'm sure they were running around monitoring details as my wife and I rested/socialized/ate/drank/took pictures. Funny story, we actually had forgotten our ceremony candles, and Daniel took off for the nearest mall about a half hour before our ceremony to get us something that would work and came back all out of breath just in time. The effort was much appreciated. They kept things moving and on schedule but also were able to give us an extra minute or two with a table here or there. I brought a few blank checks to the wedding and used one to extend Liz's team a couple more hours. All in all, I highly recommend their services! The peace of mind alone makes it worth hiring them.

I got married on 10/6/12 at the University of Michigan football stadium (aka the Big House)…read more I'm from california and I knew Liz and Dae Gun were good so I hired them to do my wedding in Michigan. They agreed even though they were unfamiliar with the Michigan territory and our venue. We had to also communicate through skype & google chat. Liz's assistants designed and printed our invitations and programs (a separate addition I paid for). I was very picky/specific with the way I wanted them --- football ticket style invitations and foam finger looking paper programs. Everything came out SOOOO perfectly. They did it in a manner so that it was still classy, feminine and cute yet sporty. They are so talented. People even asked if they could save the invitations and email us their rsvp instead of ripping the ticket stub. As for the wedding coordinating, Liz is very very meticulous. Even my venue and vendors were impressed and commented that they have never seen such an organized and detailed timeline. She wants your wedding to be as perfect as possible. We met via computer 3 times where we went over the timeline and other questions she had for us. She asked questions I would have NEVER thought of. She covers everything from the day before to the end of the night so that you come and leave with everything. I am very impressed with the organization of This Is The Day. The day of the wedding went so smoothly. I didn't know of any problems at all. My husband and I were so stress free. We just did everything they told us to do. Our MC had stage fright and ended up not making the flow as smooth, Dae Gun/Liz stepped up and guided him to make sure the flow of the reception went smoothly. Also, the day of, we found out we had to do the korean ceremony (pae bek). Liz and Dae Gun fit it into the schedule so smoothly. No one knew how to put on the head piece of the hanbok and the male hanbok, but Liz and Dae Gun did. They also guided us through the whole pae bek. They are amazing and obviously very experienced. The fact that they were in a different state didn't alter their skillsets at all! I don't know what I would have done without them. THANK YOU THIS IS THE DAY!
