“We were clueless on how to start planning our wedding and executing what was important to us (and our families) so that there was a good balance for everything needed in an Indian wedding in our short time frame. Enter our Super Heroine Chandani. Probably one of the most special human beings ever, really! She is intelligent, quick witted, organized, knowledgeable and knows her away around the industry, patient, consistently maintains a good composure (even when communicating complicated and serious matter) and most important of all is respectful no matter what your idea is (even when they may be far fetched). The three of us got along really well and I don’t think that would have been possible if she wasn’t a good, reasonable and hard working person. We saw that instantly in her and she really helped bring our dream wedding into our real world within only 4 months! Yes, you read that right, we were on a time crunch and she had the confidence from the very first communication until the last that she could make this happen…and she did. We worked as a team and sometimes as a family too and that made her involvement in this special time of our life that much more meaningful. I couldn’t recommend Events by C more to anyone trying to plan a special event in their life.”

“I don’t know how to put into words just how incredible Chandani “Events by C” and her team were in the entire planning process of my wedding. From the moment we initially connected via phone, I knew Chandani would be my wedding planner. I had interviewed several being the OVD bride I was. Her bubbly personality, communicative style, I truly had no doubt that I wanted her along side me for the most important weekend of my life thus far. I will be the first to admit that I was not an easy going bride by any means … I was extremely particular in every single thing I wanted and didn’t want. She was there every step of the way to offer suggestions, compromises based on our budget etc. From the very first conversation Chandani took my vision and truly made it happen. She provided vendors that she knew I would love (truly don’t know how she does this). She always gave her recommendations but still allowed me to make my own decisions yet guided me in the right direction as she knew what I would and wouldn’t like. On the weekend of our wedding, Chandani and her team not only executed every single detail to perfection, she truly made me and my family so at ease we were able to enjoy every single minute of the weekend. The planning process was very stressful for me but everytime I felt overwhelmed she was there to talk me down via email, text or call and assure me that she had everything under control… which she absolutely did. Beyond being our wedding planner, I truly feel like I’ve gained a beautiful friend for life. Chandani is one of the most kind hearted, funny, organized, detailed oriented and experienced wedding planners I had the pleasure of working with. Our entire wedding weekend was absolutely perfect and it is all thanks to her and her incredible team.”

“I reached out to Events by C after meeting Chandani at an expo for Indian weddings. From our first skype chat, I knew she was the right fit for our the coordination of our fusion wedding. Chandani is an absolute pleasure to work with in preparing for your wedding day. She is extremely responsive, professional, and considerate. I found her reminding me of details that I would not have thought of without her. She gives you space to enjoy your day but ensures that she is the first point of contact for any issues that may arise. I would highly recommend her services.”

“Chandani of Events By C made the wedding planning process so much easier and was truly a joy to work with. She is professional, organized, hard-working, and always has a smile on her face. Throughout our wedding planning process, she really listened to our ideas and went the extra mile to try to find venues, vendors, etc. that would match our unique needs. She also juggled multiple vendors (some of which were not always easy to work with) very well and switched gears quickly to effectively handle unexpected changes and issues that arose.
Day-of coordination is an area where Chandani really shines. Thanks to her thoughtful and detailed planning, our wedding day and pre-wedding events went off beautifully. With Chandani working behind the scenes, we, our family, and bridal party were able to enjoy the wedding and our guests with minimal stress.
More than anything, Chandani really goes above and beyond to make sure every event is a success. And it really shows – our friends and family raved about her detailed preparation and flawless execution. I would highly recommend Events By C for any event – Chandani and her team will knock your socks off!”

“We hired Chandani as our Day of Planner, and it was the BEST decision we made! She was integral in making our wedding day so successful. As somewhat of a last minute decision, we decided to hire a day of planner. We weren’t sure if we needed one because we had already had most of our vendors in place. However, after realizing how much stress Chandani and her team took away from my husband and I and our families, if I could go back in time, I would’ve hired her as my full wedding planner. Chandani is amazing! Although we only hired her for day of coordination, she made her services available to us six weeks in advance, which was a huge help. She helped us create timelines for our wedding and reception and worked with all the vendors in making sure things ran on time. On the day of the wedding, Chandani and her team worked tirelessly from early morning till 2AM the next day, with a smile on their faces the whole time. Her hard work was even recognized by our close family and friends who complimented Chandani and her team on working so hard and making sure everything went smoothly on our wedding day. From the smallest of tasks to and large problems Chandani and her team were there to help. This saved us and our families from a lot of stress and allowed us all to truly enjoy our day. We strongly recommend Chandani as a wedding planner, her experience, spirit and great team were an integral part of us enjoying our day!”

“I knew if I ever got married I would want a wedding planner, I’m so glad I randomly came across Chandani’s website! She put my mind at ease and pretty much handled everything for me. If I ever needed something I would just call/text/email and I would get a response. Indian weddings have so much planning and so many details, it felt so good that I didn’t have to worry about anything. I live in San Francisco, my vendors were from literally all over the country and my wedding was in Iowa and she handled everything like a pro! She was so fun to be around and so easy to talk to, exactly what you need in a wedding planner. Her team was also just as great!”

“We found Chandani through a simple google search for south asian wedding planners and we’re so glad we did! Right off the bat Chandani was extremely thorough in explaining her services and the details that she can help with. She helped us determine the package we would need which was the silver splendor package or day of coordination.
Throughout the planning process Chandani would check up on us and make sure everything was going ok even though she was not heavily involved in the planning process until 6 weeks prior to our wedding. She helped us find some vendors and was crucial in helping us finalize our timeline. 6 weeks before our wedding we had an initial consultation meeting over skype and went over details of our wedding with her. We were in constant communication in Chandani there on and she was responsive and helpful in finalizing the final details for our wedding.
We had a lot of very small details for our wedding and Chandani and her team was extremely crucial in helping execute those details. We were so on time the day of the wedding that we had extra time to take pictures and videos. We felt incredibly relaxed and enjoyed our wedding day thanks to Chandani and her team taking care of all the details flawlessly. We couldn’t be happier with Chandani and her team for their hard work in making the entire wedding day so smooth and flawless. We very highly recommend Chandani and her team for help in planning your future wedding!”

“Working with Events By C (Chandani) was a pleasure from the very start! I honestly can’t believe the journey is over, but I’ll always value everything they brought along the journey! If you’re reading this, and you’re about to start the journey to the big day…don’t hesitate, reach out to Chandani, and she’ll have things coordinated that you weren’t even aware of. Both my wife and I were extremely happy with Events By C, they not only greatly reduce the stress along the way, but we were actually able to enjoy the day thanks to their outstanding work. I don’t think it’s possible to express enough gratitude!”

“Chandani was a huge help in making our wedding a great success! We hired her to help us for the “month of” wedding coordination. We had a couple of meetings with her in person as well as many email, phone call and texts as we were getting close to the wedding date. She was a major help with timelines and keeping all of our events, family and friends organized. I cannot say enough good things about Chandani. She definitely will go above and beyond to make sure you are satisfied and everything runs smoothly! We liked her so much that we recommended her to my sister-in-law and they are having her help with their wedding coordination too.”

“If you want your event to go flawlessly, book this team. From day one of planning, till well after our wedding, Chandani and her team were readily available, and extremely easy to be open and honest with about anything and everything we wanted. On the day of the wedding, I can’t express how amazing they were- so accommodating, patient, and detail oriented. Highly recommended!”

“Chandani was AMAZING. All our friends and family had the best time at our wedding, and this is in large part thanks to Chandani. I gave her very vague, general ideas about what I wanted, and Chandani turned it into something brilliant. I wanted a fusion Sri Lankan – American wedding without much idea about what this means but Chandani was able to help out. Using her experience and contacts, she was able to create for us the perfect Sri Lankan- American wedding.
We hired her about 5 months before our wedding and opted for a partial package as we had a few vendors booked already. We felt like we received the complete package though! She was patient and reliable, and she handled absolutely everything we threw at her. We didn’t notice her at all during the ceremony and reception because she was running around making sure everything went off without a hitch.
We had no complaints about her leading up to the wedding and on the wedding day, and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding planner.”

“Having Events by C help us plan our wedding was the best thing we could have done. Being in a long distance relationship prior to the wedding, Chandani made it a lot easier for us to get everything organized and done in a timely manner. The timelines made for the day of the wedding for each vendor were extremely helpful and Chandani was so great at keeping everyone calm and collected. Thanks Chandani! :)”
