We had a two-day wedding in Sonoma with a Haldi/Henna, Sangeet, and a full Wedding Ceremony + Reception -- and Kristen + her entire team at Cultural Events did an absolutely phenomenal job. I'm not the type to have a strong design vision, but we shared a general aesthetic and Kristen brought everything to life in ways that far exceeded our expectations. Every event looked stunning, and each space felt unique yet cohesive. The Sangeet decor especially blew us away, Kristen created a colorful structure draped in bright fabrics that completely transformed the atmosphere. Throughout the entire process, she was communicative, thoughtful, and attentive to every detail, ensuring that everything ran seamlessly. I highly recommend Kristen and Cultural Events. The whole team made our wedding weekend unforgettable, and we're so grateful for their creativity and care. read more

Kristen and the Cultural Events Rental Team did an AMAZING job with our wedding this last March. Despite one of the worst storms of the year (or frankly last decade!), the Cultural Events Rentals Team was timely and created beautiful space that left us and our guests in awe. Kristen worked with me, my husband, and my family to create six different looks for our wedding weekend, which in itself is no small feat, but was able to construct and breakdown everything within short half hour/hour intervals. Each design was unique, thematic, and absolutely gorgeous. Kristen worked with us for nearly a year to cultivate and create a vision for our wedding far beyond our own imagination. She is not only a consummate professional, but was an advocate for me and my husband's. She helped make sure our ideas shined throughout the planning process. Planning from Maryland for a Monterey wedding was stressful enough but Kristen's passion and dedication made the planning a lot easier, and even fun! Her resourcefulness also helped us find unique elements as well as our amazing florist, Bella Vita Floral. The Cultural Events Rental company is truly adept at navigating the nuances in any culture (be it Indian, Mexican, or American like we had). Thank you Kristen and the Cultural Events Rental Team for making our wedding a truly once in a lifetime event! read more

Cultural Event Rentals truly brought our wedding vision to life! They set up a beautiful mandap, the perfect Ganesha statue, classic chairs, and gorgeous lamps that added so much warmth and tradition to the space. It felt like something out of Vogue magazine! Every piece felt thoughtfully chosen and just right for the day. They really understood the cultural touches we wanted and made everything feel so seamless. Couldn't have asked for a better setup--it made everything feel personal and special. Highly recommend them for anyone wanting meaningful decor with style! read more

I cannot recommend Kristen enough! During our entire wedding planning process, Kristen was detail oriented, communicative, generous, and so positive! We had an Indian/fusion wedding at The Holly Farm last month and Kristen transformed their space into my dream Moroccan themed Sangeet. We had used her lounge set ups to create an beautiful unique space that our guests cannot stop talking about! She patiently worked with me to pick out every color scheme and decor element, even traveling to the venue to do virtual walk throughs as I didn't live in the area. The weekend of our wedding she was there from start to finish, adjusting our set up as new suggestions popped up, working fast and always with a smile on her face! I am so so happy we went with Kristen, one of the best decisions we made! read more

Our wedding was a dream come true and a huge part of it was due to the decor and vibe that Kristen was able to bring together. Despite so many last-minute changes (that we asked for), Kristen communicated consistently with us to ensure everything would work out, and showed up ready to go both days with the best attitude! Our other vendors had wonderful things to say about working with her, and she was warm, kind, and so easy to discuss all of our wedding elements with. We rented a few custom items as well, and loved how they turned out! Highly recommend Cultural Event Rentals and Kristen for your future wedding :) 10/10 read more

If you're planning an Indian/South-Asian wedding or event and are looking for some awesome, fun, and beautiful rental pieces/furniture, you can definitely stop looking because you've found it! My wife and I had a fusion Hindu wedding in Napa, CA in June 2021 and I can't possibly put into words how AWESOME Kristen was with helping us select décor and accents for our mehndi and wedding ceremonies. Planning a wedding from out of state (TN, in our case) was a daunting task, but having someone extremely knowledgeable (and VERY reliable) like Kristen really took a lot of the anxiety out of the process. Like many others planning a wedding, we initially considered importing our own decorations from India or looking into some of the alternatives available online, but when we saw the quality of the Cultural Event Rentals catalog and the care and interest Kristen has put into curating her collection, we knew we made the right choice. If you're planning a northern California wedding (or, really a wedding anywhere), you will not be disappointed. Finally, I can't overemphasize how much customer service matters in the wedding planning process, and I'm sure those who are in the process (and hopefully reading this review) know this too. In addition to handling our event rentals, we were so lucky to be able to retain Kristen for the entire planning of our wedding. She helped to manage our entire wedding weekend and was the most phenomenal and caring wedding planner we could have asked for. When last minute changes at our venue outside of our control required changes to our vision and design, Kristen was able to coordinate all of our vendors effortlessly to adapt to the changes. Kristen is someone you can count on to listen intently to your vision, and then leap into action to execute without fail. If only every vendor was as great at communicating and follow-through as Kristen! Put simply, if she's available, retain her services and you won't be disappointed!! Thanks again Kristen and Cultural Event Rentals! read more

We had an incredibly positive experience working with Kristen for our multiple wedding events across the Bay Area and Sonoma County. Kristen was always responsive and flexible and worked with us creatively to stay in our budget and achieve the vision we wanted with our decor. She had great ideas and an amazing attitude and positive spirit. And she executed flawlessly. We loved working with her!! read more

Working with Kristen was a delight! We hired her as a month and day-of wedding coordinator for our celebration in Petaluma at Monkey Ranch and couldn't have been more pleased with her services. From the very beginning of our work together, she was organized, personable, energetic and eager to understand our vision and help execute it. Her competency and knowledgeability made me feel secure enough to let go and trust that the day would go smoothly, and it did! We are so grateful to have worked with her. I would hire her again without hesitation! read more

Kristen is fantastic and had flawless execution for our wedding in Napa, CA! Her experience is invaluable. She gives great advice, is an active problem solver, and has a great eye for design. When we found out our outdoor wedding was going to have a downpour that day, Kristen quickly found a tent, redesigned the lighting, and arranged for floral decorations, making the whole environment a total wow factor at our wedding! People couldn't believe our beautiful installation was a last-minute addition. She was so great with managing our wedding needs and vendors, it made the whole experience less stressful and more fun, which is something you don't always hear about wedding planning. We can't say enough great things about Kristen! read more

I cannot recommend Kristen enough - she can solve any and all problems, is always available and ready to help, and has the most amazing energy! I switched planners a little over a month before my wedding, didn't have all my vendors secured, and lived across the country. Kristen came into this mess and worked nonstop to make sure we had our dream wedding. She didn't stop until she found available vendors that fit our budget / style, got us the most amazing pieces from cultural rentals, and STILL found time to find us backup options in case of weather, etc My only regret is that I did not start working with her from the beginning!! On top of it all, she's the most honest person in the industry - she made sure we weren't charged incorrectly even after the wedding. You will not go wrong with her, thank you so much Kristen!! read more

I am a wedding planner from Kansas City! I own my own coordination firm and do about 115 weddings a year. I have worked with tons of vendors, and trust me when I say that Kristen was absolutely excellent. I used Cultural Event Rentals for a destination wedding in La Jolla CA, and if I didn't have Kristen, we would not have been able to achieve our design. She custom ordered a tent, fabrics, and more from India. Her attention to detail and dedication to achieving the look the client was going for was more than we could have asked for. She is amazing, and will help your wedding dreams come to life. Thank you Kristen :) read more

I have met Kristen Miller when I went to one of my close firends's weddding party for her son. This was 2017. Just by watching her interact with the large group of guests, I realized Kristen is the right poerson for my son's wedding which was in the near horizon. Kristen and I worked together for two and a half years through Covid as we signed and then re-signed many contracts with our various vendors. She is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! She is organized, communicates regualrly with comprehensive details of the process and always following through with so many little details that I did not know about prior to organizing this celebration. She is always responsive via email, text and even phone calls. I will highly recommend her to you if you are looking for a smart, caring, fun and an extremely professional wedding coordinator. read more
