HEMAL, BRIDE
My wonderful, now husband, proposed to me in Mid-March of 2015. He had a Cinderella style proposal (quotes, glass slipper and all) and then challenged me with a July 4th 2015 Wedding (Yikes). I had no idea how I was going to plan a 600 person, four-day affair. I am an only child with a tiny army (my parents, who god bless their heart are supportive, organized by had no clue coupled with my husband’s family which is huge!) and no massive historical experience of planning an elaborate much less my own in 12 weeks or around 100 days. Wave magic wand, in come my fairy godmothers (notice the theme here) Utsav Planners, out of the blue with 8 week advance notice and shocking availability July 4th (they are always always always booked). While Utsav central team location is out of Michigan and they are planning a wedding in Chicago (where all events were to take place), the coordination, seamless timeline, detailed planning, zero chaos, kind hearted team, within budget and were willing to scale the budget back when I was a bit worried, excellent connections (Video, Photo, Florist everyone made themselves available and achieved my dream wedding) and experience were truly notable and beyond amazing. And they are conscious of all details that matter – the temperature of the food served, the Ganesh facing the right direction, the color schemes coordinating. I gave them a few Pinterest pagers of things I liked and they made it happen. I was in Chicago during high season at work. You’d be a fool to go with anyone else.
Let me tell you a touch about me and my husband, we are both in the business world and run a large operation/ team of people. We are both type A, believe in our friends, family and are very detail oriented. While there are some things I cared about (detail, timeline, decorations) there are other things he cared about (outsourcing everything so I wasn’t stressed, connecting people so everyone has an enjoyable time, having a seamless experience for our family) etc. We both got married a bit later, so we can handle the details and chaos but our sheer timeline, vendor list and size was against us. Here’s what I will say anything is possible, you can get married in 12 weeks, be happy, have fun planning the whole thing, not skip on a detail and make it your ultimate dream wedding (it will exceed your expectations) IF and only IF you take Utsav Planners as your director of this stage of your life movie. You won’t regret it and wouldn’t be happier. To quote Cinderella, a dream is a wish your heart makes and mine was certainly laced with perfection thanks to Utsav
