Amazing experience

We had an incredible experience working with Chandani from Events by C as our wedding planner and coordinator. From start to finish, she did an amazing job keeping everything on track and ensuring the entire day ran seamlessly.

She was extremely organized and proactive, consistently coordinating with all of our vendors and making sure everyone was aligned. What really stood out was her ability to foresee potential issues before they happened and handle them behind the scenes without adding any stress to us.

Thanks to Chandani, we were able to truly enjoy our wedding day without worrying about logistics. Everything flowed perfectly, and that’s a testament to her professionalism and attention to detail.

We highly recommend Chandani and Events by C to anyone looking for a reliable, detail-oriented, and exceptional wedding planner.

A beautiful wedding!

Chandani did the full-service planning for our wedding in June 2024. We appreciated so much her sunny and positive personality throughout the process, even as planning a large Indian wedding inevitably was complicated - her vendor recommendations were invaluable and consistently the best choices for us. She was an absolute rockstar on the day-of, making sure that above all the vision that my husband and I had for our wedding came through. She navigated family preferences, juggled very specific requests, and truly made our guests feel welcome and a part of something bigger.

The best day of our lives 💕

Chandani and her team are the absolute best. I’m a picky bride - I met with not one, not two, but six different wedding planners before I met with Chandani (and I met with three more after). I was looking for a planner who could tell it to me straight - no BS - no telling me the dream I was painting with my stated budget was possible, but instead turning my dream into possible through thoughtful questions and approaches. We signed on to the partial planning process pre-deciding our venue, and that, for us was the best choice. She understood our vision, tailored vendors and venues to our liking but also beyond our imagination. We wanted someone to be a part of our team, not be a back seat driver or runaway truck. She was exactly that. The number one comment from our guests on the wedding day (after gushing about the bride and groom of course) was how timeline everything ran. We finished our hindu wedding ceremony 5 minutes early. IST who??? Truly, best decision we made.

Hire Chandani for your 2026 Wedding!

When we first started planning our big multi-day Indian wedding, I was so overwhelmed. We initially had a different planner right after getting engaged, but that fell through due to unforeseen circumstances. So there we were, scouting venues on our own—and honestly, it became stressful very quickly. After we finally secured our venue, I interviewed multiple planners in the DMV, and it was immediately clear that Chandani was the right fit for us. She was calm, responsive, organized, and incredibly knowledgeable about both local and non-local vendors.

Chandani made the entire planning process feel so much less intimidating. She broke everything down into clear phases so we knew exactly which vendors to book and when. She reviewed contracts, helped negotiate pricing, answered all (and I mean all) of my many questions, and even brainstormed with me on how to bring fresh, innovative ideas to each of our events (including live painters, musicians, casino games and more!).

But truly, nothing compares to how invaluable her team was during our actual wedding weekend. As a type A bride, I hadn’t been able to turn my brain off for months, but once the weekend began, I had FULL confidence that Chandani's team would execute every detail flawlessly. I wasn’t bothered once—I got to be fully present and actually enjoy those days! Even our guests couldn’t stop raving about how she managed to keep an Indian wedding running on time (a miracle in itself!) and how seamlessly every detail came together.

Chandani is an expert in big fat Indian weddings—no task is too big or too complicated for her. And trust me, I tested that by wanting to bring in a traditional banana leaf–style thali lunch after our wedding ceremony. She coordinated it all flawlessly. Along the way, she didn’t just become our planner—she became a truly lovely friend. Hire her - you won't regret it!

Chandani is the GOAT

Hiring Chandani was the best decision me and my fiancé made when beginning the wedding planning process - she was able to create a vision I didn't even know existed with guests leaving our wedding with the words "magical", "fairytale" and "breath-taking". I was the bride who didn't have a clue and she was the perfect leader with all the professionalism, creativity and genuine kindness who eased all the stress that can go into a wedding. Additionally, all the vendors she suggested are just as gifted as she is!

Chandani is not only the one you want to plan your wedding, she is the genuine human who became a suito member of the family! I will sing her and her wonderful team's praises for years to come 🙌! As cliche as it sounds, she's truly the best. Just hire her, you'll be so glad you did!

Best Wedding Planner!

We had an amazing experience working with Chandani and her team, and can’t recommend her enough! From the very beginning, she was organized, attentive, and truly understood our vision. She was always available, and we really appreciated her flexibility and willingness to adapt to our changing schedules. So many of our family members, friends, and guests kept telling us how well-coordinated the wedding was, from the smooth transitions to everything running perfectly on time. She made sure everyone knew exactly where to be and when. Her vendor recommendations were perfect, and she coordinated with them really well. She would even think of small details we would’ve missed, which helped make the day feel extra special and thoughtful. Thanks to her, our wedding day was stress-free and unforgettable!

Truly the best weekend of my life!

My husband and I were doing cross country long distance and I was in school, but Chandani made meetings work with our hectic schedules. She did a lot of research to help us find the perfect vendors and made sure all of our questions were answered. The planning process can be daunting but she broke it down into manageable chunks. Her team on the day of was professional and ran the day like a well oiled machine. Choosing your wedding planner is one of the most important decisions you can make and I’m so glad we found Chandani!

The absolute best decision I made

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.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
