Couldn’t have done it without Mitra!

Mitra helped me on my wedding so much! She went above and beyond with any requests and for set up. She is professional, courteous, and a great problem solver. I am so grateful that I found her and that she was available on my wedding. I would recommend her not only to my friends and family but to anyone who will be getting married because that is how amazing her and her team was.

Best Wedding Coordinator/ Planner Ever!!!

There are some services that you can't put a price (although it has a price) and Mitra and her team provides one of those services. She gives peace of mind, assurance, a beautifully coordinated wedding and much more. Hiring Mitra was one of the best decisions we have made for our wedding. She came in about 2 months before our wedding and was looped in all the communications with the vendors. About one month before she stepped in and coordinated all the vendors and was our main point of contact for everything related to the wedding. At some point, I did not have to respond to vendor emails anymore as she took care of answering all of their questions or looked for the answer and provided it to them. She coordinated the rehearsal dinner very well and sent an email invitation to all attendees to provide them with necessary instructions. And on the day of the wedding Mitra and her team were exceptional! My husband even says she treated him and the whole bridal team as if they were her own family members. She cared about everything happening and made sure the groom and his party were on time. She took care of all of us and made sure everything went on in time and without a glitch (and even if there was one, we would not know about it because she would have fixed it before we even heard about it). In fact the night before the wedding day, our wedding photographer had an emergency and could not make it. She messaged us to let us know, but reassured us that she had discussed with the company we hired and they would provide a replacement photographer. It turned out that the new last minute photographer was amazing! But the main point is that because she reassured us, we were able to have a good night sleep before the big day and not stress about the possibility of not having a wedding photographer on our wedding day.

If you are thinking about hiring Mitra to assist you with your big day or any event, I would highly recommend her. She is the best there is and her services are phenomenal. She is very respectful, responsive, caring, will give you peace of mind, will give you great advice as she has experience and she knows her craft. She gave me great advice on decorations, colors, etc...

Thank you Design by Mitra for the excellent and priceless services you provided my husband and I during our wedding.

Sofreh for our wedding

Mitra is absolutely AMAZING! Cordial, professional, dedicated and a true artist. We hired her for our wedding Sofreh, and she put an entire day with her team to put together one of the most beautiful decorations we have seen anywhere. Every piece and artifact meticulously placed to provide the allure and wow-effect we were dreaming of. It was the center piece of our wedding, and all our guests loved it. Highly recommend her! I guarantee you will feel the same.

The best sofreh ever!

Mitra is a dedicated professional and a true "artist". She will not only give you an awesome service throughout, but the Sofreh she puts together is literally a piece of art. She spent the entire day on preparing our Sofreh, which was majestic, meticulous and the highlight of our wedding decor'. All our guests were in awe of how beautiful it was and how every single artifact, from deewan e hafiz to aayeena and shirni sets were carefully designed and placed, adding that allure & shine right in the center of our ceremony before the bench were me and my lovely bride were sitting. We couldn't be any happier and thrilled to have her on our special day. She truly made it memorable! Highly recommend her and I guarantee you will feel the same afterwards :).

10/10 service for events!

Mitra helped make my engagement party PERFECT!! I had a dilemma where I did not know that a certain tray and style of decorations would be needed for my engagement celebration that same evening!! Mitra quickly responded to my inquiry even though I had no expectation that she could help me since it was so last minute but she told me not to worry and put together a GORGEOUS decorative tray!! The whole party raved about it and I had so many compliments from those who viewed pictures on social media!! Not to mention, Mitra was so sweet, genuine, caring and professional the whole time. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND her to anyone looking to create a flawless event!!

Outstanding job!

Mitra is OUTSTANDING. She exceeded our expectations and made our event magical. Her attention to detail is exquisite and she kept us up to date throughout the entire process. I would 100% recommend her for any event if you want your guests' to talk about it for years. I have never been so happy and pleased with an event planner such as Mitra in my entire life and I have worked with several others in the area. To any Persians out there, she does an amazing job with the "sofreh aghd"! MITRA is the one to go to!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
