What can I say!! I will fall short of words to describe how amazing Kismet and their team is. From our 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. read more

Saadia and the Kismet Team - Thank you for everything you did to bring our vision for our Sangeetaversary to life! The colors, lighting, and decor were truly magical. 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 read more

Huge shoutout to Saadia and her team for making our wedding weekend so special. They are true professionals who know exactly what they're doing. They don't duplicate vision boards - they ELEVATE designs. And, when things don't go as planned, they step in to make it happen - even if it means building hedge walls the week before the wedding, just to make our dreams come true. They worked tirelessly to make sure every centerpiece, every backdrop, and every decor piece was perfect. Their attention to detail is unmatched and their passion shows through the events they design and bring to life. If you want a beautiful wedding with an awesome team, hire them! read more

Hellokismet helped decorate our wedding, and we have written individual reviews below: Kaj: Where do I even start. Saadia and her team at Kismet did an amazing job at our wedding in Napa. We had our calls fully virtual as my husband and I were living in different states with different time zones but still made the experience very seamless. My expectations for the decor and outcome blew me away and I couldn't thank them enough. All our guest enjoyed all the decor and the vibes they brought to our wedding in Napa and made the process super easy. Highly recommend working with Kismet for your decor and floral needs as they can make any wedding luxurious and elegant. Rishabh: Wow. I don't know how your team did it, but you put on quite the performance. To be honest, we were very nervous because we were not able to do a direct site visit and only relied on social media to see your work. However you exceeded all expectations and then some. All of our events were perfect and exactly how we envisioned. You found a way to work with the venue space without even seeing it in person and that truly impressed us. Thank you so much for working with us and you get high praise and recommendations from us. read more

100000/10!!! Saadia and crew brought my vision to life and produced the wedding of my dreams. The whole team was such a pleasure to work with and answered all my questions in a timely fashion. They also worked really closely with my coordinator to ensure a seamless wedding day. Thank you so much kismet!!! read more

I hired Kismet to do decor for my 40th birthday bash. I had a great experience working with Kismet. I loved how Sadia, lead designer at Kismet, was so attentive to my inspiration. I noticed she'd pick up on small things and the details at the event were just PERFECT. I love Sadia's creativity and her ability to carry it out flawlessly. She has the talent to just transform any space into your dream. I highly recommend them for decor at any event. My 40th birthday ended up being so beautifully elegant because of them and I'd hire them again in a heartbeat. read more

I do not know where to even begin, but the beginning will be a good start. We got engaged in May 2023 and my family wanted us to have our Nikkah ceremony right away. Somehow we landed on October 2023. I always knew that I wanted an outdoor garden ceremony and thought I can do this all on my own. The picture was even more complicated because the Nikkah ceremony was going to be in Los Angeles and live in Michigan Fast forward to August 2023, when I started to panic because I quickly realized that I can't do this on my own. I reached out to various vendors and just didn't feel satisfied after our meetings. How do you trust someone with making your dream a reality when you can't meet them face to face? I don't have much of a social media presence, but I heard about Kismet through friends. We had our zoom meeting with Saadia and Sara on August 17 and I immediately knew we needed to go with Kismet. Saadia took my vision and ran! Creating something that went beyond my dreams and expectations. The planning was seamless even with me living thousand miles away. And they did it in less than two months!!! One moment that stuck out in particular was how they handled a "crisis". One week before the ceremony, Saadia called me to tell me they were having difficulty getting the wooden cross back chairs that I had wanted . Deep down I was dying inside and holding back tears because I didn't want to compromise our vision, BUT I didn't want to cause issues. So I gave my best effort in brushing it off. Saadia calls me about 30 minutes later telling me she heard the disappointment in my voice (clearly I failed haha) and had reached out to other vendors and was able to find them. She didn't have to do this, but she did. They went above and beyond to make our day a very special one. Every single guest came up to me and told me it was one of the most beautiful ceremonies they attended. Kismet is worth every penny and above all the hype! Thank you Kismet for making my ethereal ceremony come true! read more

Loved working with this team for our wedding (April '24 in SoCal). Our wedding planner has a great relationship with Kismet and we're so happy they did our decor. The kismet team came up with a wonderful theme in partnership with our planner for our pre-wedding event (Santorini vibes), made our acrylic mandap vision come to life at the wedding, and had the perfect reception set up for us (elegance meets grandeur). My husband and I were fairly hands off when it came to specific decor visions, etc. and so seeing kismet bring their design ideas along the way and eventually bring it to life the weekend of the wedding was incredible. They were respectful of our budget asks and the whole family was thrilled with the end product. Overall we had a really nice time working with this team. They were super responsive and supportive as we navigated rain concerns the week of the wedding - secured a clear tent to still give us the outdoor ceremony feel while being protected from the rain. Thank you Kismet team - we are so appreciative! Would definitely recommend. read more

I worked with Sara and Saadia for my wedding, and I'm they were both amazing. They went above and beyond to make sure my decor looked exactly like I had imagined.

We initially engaged in discussions with Kismet in January 2023 for our wedding in May 2023. After multiple design calls with them we were in the process of trying to negotiate the contract with them to cut down some of the items due to budget concerns when our coordinator was ghosted by kismet for a week. Saadia later informed our coordinator that they booked another event for our wedding day and were no longer available. While it is understandable that they went with the first party to sign the contract, you would expect some level of transparency here--we were never informed about an other potential event otherwise we would have signed the contract earlier. We were also never told that someone else had inquired about our date at anytime (before or during the planning phase). Saadia is very talented and has great ideas but if you choose to work with kismet, you should sign the contract asap because they may just leave you high and dry without any notice. P.S. We tried asking for some of the rough sketches we worked on during our design calls and they wanted $1,000 for this. read more

Kismet was in charge of my bridal shower and mehndi decor and venue! They definitely outdid themselves on both occasions! As soon as I walked into my bridal shower venue, I could not believe my eyes! I was absolutely stunned... They had converted the venue into a magical garden with flowers, draped all over the back wall, down the tables and to the ground! The colors were exquisite the planning and decor overall was exceptionally tasteful and well done. As a former florist, I am super picky about flowers and I was absolutely blown away with how perfect everything was... They were able to make every dream of mine come true! They went above and beyond on both occasions to make sure my events were perfect and even threw in things as freebies that I wasn't even expecting. It was better than anything I could've ever hoped for. I could never thank them enough for everything they did! Working with them was a delight! read more

The Kismet Event Planning & Design team is incredible to work with and the best in the game! The Kismet team was by my side from January 2020 when I started wedding planning through my wedding (after two postponements and dozens of guest count changes) in December 2021. Thank you for designing the wedding and reception decor of my dreams! Saadia and team helped envision something unique, creative and beautiful that fit our vibe. They created a concept from scratch for us, that worked with our budget. Every meeting and conversation with them was productive and professional, with follow-ups via email and phone. Saadia created multiple sketches for us and continued to give us varying options until we were completely happy with it. The Kismet team went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect to a tee, down to last minute adds like a sweetheart table and dance floor wrapping. My jaw literally dropped twice in one day, the first when I saw our mandap and once again walking into our reception ball room. I highly recommend working with Kismet for any event, they are rockstars and truly care about their clients! read more

Kismet and Saadia did such an amazing job with my wedding and reception decor! Saadia was so great, understanding, and amenable to our budget. The decor was beautiful and exactly what I had been envisioning, and somehow she put exactly what was in my mind into the decor and more! Saadia made herself available to my mom and I even while she was pregnant and took her maternity leave and made sure we were fully settled before she left. She also is always available by text and I used to text her pictures of things I like and she would usually respond quickly, giving me feedback and her opinion. I HIGHLY recommend Kismet for your next event, they're the best! read more

Wow I do not think words can encapsulate what Kismet meant for our wedding. If you are someone like me- who has a sense of general inspiration but is comfortable with the designer taking the wheel - this company is for you. When we first started planning our wedding we did not prioritize decor to be totally honest. We signed with Kismet after they gave us a proposal at the budget we were looking for. We told them we like "Cost Plus World Market, our colors are mustard yellow and emerald green" and they turned it into the most incredible Mandap, cocktail hour display, and reception decor I have ever witnessed. It was so creative, different, fun, and absolutely gorgeous. For it to have been at my own wedding still blows my mind. In retrospect, going with a company that has the talent and sophistication of Kismet was an amazing decision. It brought the event and experience to another level for everybody- especially me and my new husband! read more

The team messaged me about the tone In the screenshot and apologized. I didn't work with the team, I'm sure they are great and I wish them all the best. Had my dream wedding with over the top decor but brides should schedule times and have a good relationship with their decorator as it felt like I was a hassle whenever I tried contacting them. read more

From walk throughs to design to set up to day of execution, every member of the Kismet team was professional, creative and agile - they were able to work with the venue to create an unforgettable experience for my parents.

From the moment I got engaged I knew I had to have Kismet do my wedding decor. I've been following their work for years and they always deliver the most creative beautiful work. I showed Hasan a picture of a store window display I liked and he made that come to life in my wedding decor. It was unlike any wedding stage I've ever seen. It was beautiful and executed perfectly... it looked like something that belongs in a museum! Communication was great from the start and Hasan made many adjustments to make sure we were within budget. Thank you for making my dream wedding stage! read more

What can I say but Kismet did a fantastic job. From the set up to the flow of our sons wedding reception everything went exactly as planned. Kismet's outstanding professional staff is always willing to go above and beyond your expectations. Besides Amana's organizational skills it's really appreciated how Kismet's owner designer (Saadia) handles the brides request with such grace. The Kismet teams ability & talent to portray our son and daughter in-laws vision for their special night was beyond our expectations. We received so many complements for weeks following the reception. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for giving us a memorable night to remember. read more

Beautiful name with beautiful work called HELLO KISMET!! Loved the work, beautiful decorations. Thanks a lot sadiya for managing my event last minute due to COVID I really appreciate work effort. You just didn't do beautiful work, you put lots of love and emotions in it Thank you BEST REGARDS FROM SONIA AND OSHEEN read more

This team is amazing. We were delighted at the vision they had for our venue. We hosted a destination wedding for a small group, and i was worried about planning all the details. Kismet had the vision and took the lead on giving us expert service without any worry. Our venue put them in a last minute time crunch, and they worked outside of their normal hours to make our dreams come to life and NEVER made us feel like a burden. We really are so grateful. It is because of Kismet that our wedding was so gorgeous. read more

AMAZING. Love these ladies. Thank you so much Amana & Saadia for all your patience through this process, I was out-of-state so they had to work with my parents mostly, and I'm sure that wasn't easy. They did both my mehndi and wedding events in late April. All 3 of my stages (indoor mehendi, outdoor wedding, and indoor wedding reception) were gorgeous. I'm so thankful they helped talk me through design ideas for the indoor and outdoor stages; everything came together beautifully. They had great suggestions and knew exactly what indian parents want. When Amaana was out of town, Saadia answered all my questions and helped me with a few last minute changes. I felt they both had a lot of experience and great organizational skills. Flower arrangements were great, and I wish I knew more about florals to give more of my own input on them, but kismet did great on their own. Amana did a great job with decor for my sister's wedding in 2012 (and wedding planning, but they don't do this anymore) --- I pretty young then so I didn't know much back then. I'm so glad we decided to choose them for my wedding too. Out of all my vendors, kismet was my favorite, and even my parents agree. Thanks again! read more

Ever since I attended a wedding with Kismet decor in 2013, I knew I wanted them to do my wedding decor whenever the time came. I reached out early 2019 and worked with Aatika who was a phenomenal listener and paid close attention to the ideas I had (even though I was all over the place at the time) and helped me come up with a vision. Then when she had to go on maternity leave, Saadia took over and ran with the ideas we had come up with adding her own flavor to the mix. Needless to say, she is a master visionary. She would do numerous sketches for us and helped us imagine the design she envisioned until we were satisfied (and when I say we, I mean my mother). even though I had seen the sketches and gone in for a sample meeting, on the day of, I was floored with the result. I walked in on my mehndi day and couldn't believe it was MY wedding event. In that moment I remembered why I had decided, and I was certain 6 years in advance, that I was going to have Kismet design my wedding. My wedding reception a couple days later was also nothing less than a fairytale - a floral encompassed stage with gates leading in. I'm still in awe months later and so glad I have my photos to look back on from that magical day during this quarantine :) read more

I had the pleasure of working alongside Kismet for florals and design for my wedding. Kismet was very warm from the beginning, which is why I chose them. During our initial consultation, I gave Saadia and her team and idea of what I was looking for and from there, she fully understood my vision. They worked with me to make any changes necessary to stay within my budget and were willing to give input when I asked them questions. They brought my vision to life perfectly on wedding day :) read more

Kismet planned my wedding almost 2 months ago and I must say their work was superb. They went above and beyond what I expected and helped me bring the wedding I had always dreamed of to life. The team was extremely attentive and listened to what I envisioned and provided great suggestions along the way. Our flowers were simply breathtaking, the table setting with the flowers and the charges that we selected (for extra cost) magnified the regal feel of our ballroom at the Nixon Library. But, my favorite part of the entire setup was our sweetheart table and the stage. Kismet created the most spectacular design I have ever seen. My mother-in-law and Saadia surprised me with a table flowing with white orchids left and right, above and below. It was whimsical to say the least. It was truly art. While I was getting ready, Kaylee came and brought my bridal bouquet. She was great at resolving little issues that came up with the bouquet and helped ease the process of getting ready and the photo session. She was such a sweet person to work with and to have there to calm me down when things got stressful. Moving on to Hasan. I cannot thank Hasan enough for all the work he did before, during and after the wedding. He was wonderful to work with, he would reach out to me whenever he felt I haven't/didn't conveyed my requests enough, and he did a great job corresponding with us and our vendors. Thanks to him and the Kismet team I had little to no worries in the days leading up to the wedding and during my wedding day. They truly are a great team to work with and I highly recommend their services. I assure you, you will not be disappointed. read more

There will never be enough words to express my gratitude for Hasan and the Kismet Event Planning & Design team! From the first meeting to our wedding day, they were such a pleasure to work with - not all wedding vendors are a pleasure to work with (haha), but Hasan's creativity, professionalism and optimism made such a positive impact on our overall experience. Thank you Hasan and Kismet team, I couldn't have imagined a more beautiful and magical day! Due to COVID-19, we had to reschedule our wedding (three times) and change venues in less than a year. Despite only having 2 months to concept a whole new design/decor for an entirely new venue, Hasan and his team not only handled the situation with grace, but truly exceeded our expectations. Another thing to note: Kismet Event Planning & Design doesn't have a specific look or vibe that they push on their customers. They concept everything from scratch with your input along the way and they will do everything to make sure your vision comes to life. I almost want to keep them a secret because they are so good, but I highly highly recommend working with them! ;) read more

Kismet Event Planning and Design was an AMAZING group to work with and they are what made our fairy tale wedding come to life! They brought in their expertise and created the most gorgeous outdoor mandap for our indian wedding as well as created a twinkling little wonderland for our reception! It was even better than I had hoped and I appreciate all they have done for us. They outdid every other quote we got and were extremely reasonable on the prices. They helped us stay within our wedding budget and worked with what we gave them. They also helped us find ways to minimize costs as well as came for a walk through at the wedding venue and came up with extra tips for the DJ and other vendors. They worked well with everyone and we were so happy to have the most beautiful wedding by choosing them! read more

I started working with Kismet about 8 months before my wedding, however due to COVID it changed to be over a year long planning process with kismet. We naturally had very dramatic changes to our event due to the pandemic, from a nearly 500 person down to 50 people, change of venues and seasons and so much more.. but the team at Kismet event was beyond supportive and accommodating of the situation. Saadia took our fragmented ideas of what we wanted for our wedding and truly changed them into a vision from our dreams for the original wedding plan and then again for the completely different wedding we ended up having and Hasan made that vision on paper truly come to life! We had so many adjustments throughout the process and when we picked Kismet to be our decorators, we knew that we would get mouth dropping decor, but we did not realize we would get a team that was there to also support us emotionally through everything that was thrown at us. Couldn't ask for anything more, they're truly an incredibly talented and kind hearted team, so look no further for your decor needs! read more

Kismet Events truly gave me the wedding of my dreams. Saadia is a true visionary/artist. From the first meeting with myself and my parents, she just knew exactly what we wanted. We had 3 events (Sangeet, wedding, and reception) and Saadia and Aatika did an amazing job. They are so creative and Saadia came back so soon after having a baby to make everything so beautiful. read more

Hassan and his crew did an amazing job .. for this surprise 65th party , the theme was winery.. the decor was absolutely fantastic. Very caring and easy to work with kismet event planning company. We had a budget and they stayed with in that so that was great. It totally blew away the birthday boy!! It was outdoors with draping and lots of candles and beautiful flowers.. most definitely would hire them again!! read more

Wonderful creative team! We used Kismet for our wedding ceremony and reception decor and they really delivered. Our wedding was in February 2019 and because we were working with a smaller budget, weren't sure whether a full design service would be possible. We reached out to Kismet a couple of months before our event and had a few phone calls and then an in-person consultation to discuss our ideas. Saadia helped us brainstorm and refine our decor ideas to create the ambiance we were hoping for and Hasan brought it to life on the day of our event. Our events were in a site-only venue so there was more coordination involved but they are truly professionals and able to work with any venue or budget. We received so many compliments from our family and friends and couldn't be happier with how our wedding turned out! read more

I am a wedding snob, I admit it. I wanted to out-do and over-do all the other events I've been to over the years. For my wedding, I wanted nothing but the ABSOLUTE BEST. I knew exactly where to go- Kismet Event Planning and Design. Saadia was very attentive, heard me out, listened to what I dreamed of, and made it a reality. I am not good at explaining all the stuff going on in my head - but she understood what I wanted and brought my dreams to life. People till this day STILL talk about my wedding - and it feels really good to know that my wedding made a lasting impression on my guests. :) She purchased and installed beautiful chandeliers in places that I felt were bare, she installed curtains of diamonds and crystals, she flew in peonies from Amsterdam (which were out of season here in the US), she flew in special roses from South America; Kismet created a romantic and fantasmic (better than Disneyland!) event for me and my hubby. It was breathtaking. Quality does come with a price. Saadia is not the cheap Indian Aunty doing this from her garage (sorry Aunty's!) Kismet is a full on production company. Their team handles EVERYTHING from lighting, flowers, coordination, stages, locations, music, etc etc. There is no detail left unnoticed. One important thing to know - Kismet gets booked months if not years in advance. They are very selective now on what events to do each year and do not take every bride that comes their way. There are a limited # of weekends in a year, and it's just not possible to do every event that comes their way. So plan ahead and secure them first. Kismet's team leads the pack. Other coordinators and companies copy her designs and do not do them justice. I have seen MY wedding replicated more than a few times by OTHER OC/LA planners (ahem, won't name any names - but you know who you are!) It's a compliment to Saadia's work, since Saadia always does it best and is always first. If you want your event to stand out, and for it to be a one of a kind event - go to Kismet. You will be worry free and won't be disappointed. I guarantee it. read more

We hired them for wedding and reception planning. They were not upto standards. Infect very bellow industry standards for renting a wedding chairs for bride and groom . We can buy a better chairs in the amount they charged rent . All four chairs were chipped wood and cracked some place. They were faded and color damaged. When ask to replace those chairs , the manager hang up the phone and refused to talk to our wedding planner. We had very bad and sour experience at this business. read more

I'm not a creative person, so I fully trust Kismet when it comes to bringing my vision to reality. I've worked with them for 7+ years as they helped our nonprofit with our annual gala's staging, drapes, and decor.

I showed her pictures and she brought it to life. read more
