DO NOT employ Shagun Wedding for your wedding mandap! Manju Mehta was a nightmare on my wedding day. She and her company were contracted to arrive before 2pm to set up the mandap, and instead showed up at 4:30pm, thirty minutes after the wedding ceremony was supposed to start! They were not able to put up any of what we paid them to do. Plus, dealing with this person made me lose hours of photography and video, and her lateness cost me two hours of my wedding reception. In sum, this company caused me untold stress on my wedding day (my stressed face and running make-up are apparent in our wedding pictures).

Save yourself lots of heartache and regret on your wedding day, and avoid this awful company.
Shagun Weddings responded with the following comments:
This is distortion of facts, The fact is that we had no control over the high wind situation and you did not have plan B. How conveniently you forgot to mention that it was extremely windy to have a all fabric outdoor mandap on Nov 12, 2011, the area designated for the mandap was the most ill suited (right next to the escalator, next to the busy street junction where the short wall (sort of railing) of approximately 3ft to 3.5ft could not provide shield from the constant noise of horns and sirens OR the HIGH WINDS which kept knocking down the pipe and drape structures and made it impossible to put the complete mandap structure. Trying to keep the backdrops upright took extra time and effort by means of using 6 heavy duty bases and bricks, metal chairs and caused the delay of half hour only, how did you come up with the loss of 2 hours of reception time? After using all the resources to keep the backdrops straight which was swaying like the sails of a boat, two of us end up holding the pipes from the back to ensure that the structure does not fall during the ceremony despite the unbearable cold and wind (the guests had heaters around them). We did that as a professional courtesy, did not charge you a penny for our services and the extra expenses incurred for your event. Any one with a clean conscious and ounce of integrity will not indulge in the propaganda like this.

Manju and her staff went above and beyond my expectations on what my stage would look like
I had seen so Many beautiful stages so it was difficult to make up my mind so manju met with my
Husband and I several times to make sure we were happy and confident with what it would Look like. To be honest I was a little nervous what the outcome would be but the day of our wedding I walked into the reception hall and my jaw dropped! It was absolutley stunning and elegant everything I wanted and more she even added a few extra touches of her own to make it extra special for us. I can't wait to use her again for upcoming events, It was worth every penny we spent and everyone at our wedding loved it! thank you again!

Shagun Weddings created a unique, lavish, and breath-taking palace-like mandap for my son's wedding, which earned praise and appreciation from family and friends. The set-up for the Mehndiraat was equally stunning. I dealt primarily with Manju Mehta, who ensured that our choice of color-themes and decor accessories for the wedding ceremony, as well as the entire cocktail-area and banquet-hall were well co-ordinated, notwithstanding the hugeness of the venue. There were peacocks and elephants galore, banana-plants and life-size statues, large glistening urlis and decorated matkas, a fountain and a unique place-card stand, and ethnic touches to the centerpieces.
I found Manju to be courteous and patient at all times --- and quite unflappable at times when my nerves were on edge! She went the extra mile to provide all the color and glitter and spectacle that this mother's heart desired!
I have no hesitation in recommending her to all future brides -- and their mothers!

The wedding decoration was very beautiful. However, it was slightly different from what we had ordered. Overall, everything turned out to be perfect.

For our wedding, we used Manju's services for fabric decoration and mandap chairs/statue rentals. She was very friendly and worked with us to determine the best look for our Hindu ceremony. Along with showing us some of her designs via photos, she came to our venue in advance to help with design and color schemes, which was very helpful. At her warehouse, she has a great selection of rentals including mandaps, chairs, havand kund, statues, lanterns, and more! There was a lot our family wanted to do ourselves in terms of wedding planning, mandap infrastructure, other wedding decor, etc. For all the remaining items we needed assistance with, Manju was there to meet our needs and we are very thankful for her time and support!

Shagun Weddings, specifically Manju Mehta, did a beautiful job with all the decorations. I planned my wedding from long distance, and everything turned exactly how I imagined :-). The color coordination was perfect, especially because my reception dress was a difficult color with which to coordinate. We received so many compliments on how beautiful the decor was for the wedding and reception. My husband and I and our families were very pleased with the results.

Manju Mehta at Shagun Weddings gave my wife and I a beautiful and wonderful wedding. She provided big beautiful flowers for both our Chapel ceremony and our Hindu ceremony. She also did a fantastic job on our Mandap (stage) for our Hindu ceremony, it was breathtakingly beautiful. She also did our centerpieces and table cloths for our 18 table reception, as well as wonderfully decorated arch in which she filled a paper bell with tons of rose petals that showered us when we entered as a married couple. Manju was always extremely nice and let us change our mind on colors and flowers right up to the last few weeks before the wedding. She never complained and was always trying to give us guidance when we needed it. We would definitely recomend Manju Mehta at Shagun weddings for any one needing flowers for any event, but especially if you are doing an Indian wedding.

Great to work with Manju. She has a great sense of what she does, and she does it with a lot of professionalism and elegance. Meets the client's demand and goes that extra step exceeding client's expectations.

I was a very happy bride when I walked into my reception ballroom.
I would encourage you all to give her a shot! You will not be disappointed!

My experience with Shagun Wedddings was incredible. Manju Mehta not only provided great service and support, but she was able to work her magic with my mandap and my reception stage beyond my imagination. I remember marveling at the Mandap stage while I was walking down the aisle - that's when you know someone has done a fantastic job! I highly recommend her services.

I hired Shagun weddings to provide a stage for my wedding in July. Although the owner of Shagun weddings seemed very nice, we had severe problems with them on the wedding day. We wanted a light blue swagging on our stage to match our color theme and instead got dark blue swagging. We didn't want a red rug, but got a red one on the stage. Worst of all, after the ceremony our wedding party went into the reception room for dinner and we intended to take photos on the stage that was located in the ceremony room later on in the evening. However, we found that our stage was taken down by the vendor right after the ceremony! This was a severe disappointment for us on our wedding day, as we could not use the stage as a backdrop and had no other option but to take photos in the hallway of the hotel. We told the vendor that we intended to use the stage the whole evening when we booked the stage, but they blamed it on miscommunication with the wedding coordinator on the wedding day. The owner did give us a $500 rebate for taking away our stage early, but in my opinion that couldn't alleviate the fact that we didn't have a stage we paid for at the end of the night. Also, they were late in setting up on the wedding day due to closures on the highway in the DC area, so we couldn't take photos with my bridal party on the stage before the ceremony. I would not recommend this vendor for your wedding day.
Shagun Weddings responded with the following comments:
Dear Salman and Mehnaz, Hope you both are doing great. Recently I loged on weddingwire after a long time and was really surprised to see the comments on your review since they represent only one sided picture stating distorted facts. it is interesting that after explaining you the facts and offering you pretty good discount, you chose to write distorted version and wrote about things like shade of blue and oriental rug etc which you never mentioned at all during our direct telephone communication. As explained to you before, the only reason of removing the stage items from the ceremony room was because the venue event manager told us that we should remove them beacuse you were done using the stage and will not need it any more. After the ceremony, While waiting to receive the payment from you or your family member during the cocktail hour I met you along with rest of the bridal party just before entering the ceremony room for photo session, therefore I had no reason to believe that your event cordinator was giving wrong information since they have the timeline for the evening and are aware of all the last minute updates. Had I known that you plan to go back to the ceremony room after the reception has already started (typically the bride and groom don't leave the reception hall during the reception for photo session), we would not dismentle stage decor. When I spoke with you after the wedding and explained you the reasons we took down the stage decor after the cocktail hour and your grand entrance for reception, you seemed to understand the circumstances and miscommunication and happy about the discount I offered ( you did say that it was a generous discount and seemed fine with it) but never mentioned a word about the wrong shade of blue and the oriental rug provided then what is the reason to mention it on the review board? When you do not provide the color samples to match up with the centerpieces etc, how do you expect us to match the shade of blue with the flowers provided by other vendors? For good color coordination I don't recommend the brides to have the decor around them in exact same shade of color as their outfit, it is a good thing not to match the decor with the same color as the bride's outfit, however we could have done the right shade of blue for you, had you provided the desired shade to match up with. Sadly you chose to use it as a complain tool without ever mentioning to me directly. We go beyound our commitment to ensure that the wedding day is perfect and bride and groom happy with our services as clear by rest of reviews. Please feel free to email and let us know how we can reslove the disagreement. Thank you, Manju mehta
