Amazing day of coordinator!

Rupal was fantastic! If you dont have someone to help you coordinate your many vendors, well you need one! She is amazing at her job and certainly made my planning easy but also made sure everything happened where, how, and when it was supposed to!

An Indepensible Asset

Rupal and her team were fantastic during the entire wedding process. We had numerous difficulties with planning and input from our family, and Rupal helped us manage the entire process flawlessly, relieving our wedding stress immeasurably. Everything she touched went off flawlessly, and during our wedding weekend, we didn't need to do a single thing because she and her team had already prepped for every eventuality. We even had a speaker blow out during our wedding processional, and she had it replaced before we even noticed. She has a range of prices and packages to select from and is willing to work within whatever budget you have. If you need a wedding planner, look no further.

Malenia = Priceless

There is a famous saying... "there are some things money can't buy. For everything else there is Malenia."
My husband and I recently got married in November 2019. We are both busy professionals and thought we could handle the task of planning our own wedding. Let me preface and mention that we just moved here from NY, both started new jobs and had I had a big board exam to prepare for. Importantly, we are both first generation, coming from two different cultures and religions. We were in over our heads.
About 2 months before the wedding, while I was stressed with wedding planning and work, my husband said that we should hire a planner. My husband came across Malenia and he spoke with Rupal that same day. Shortly after their conversation, he called me and said she was perfect for the task and most importantly "she gets it." I had the chance to speak with Rupal the following day and just our initial conversation blew me away. Rupal had such amazing ideas and instantly saw my vision. We immediately hired Malenia and the rest was history. Prior to hiring Malenia, I did pick out most of the vendors except the catering company. Rupal was in constant communication with all of the vendors and tied together all of the loose ends. It was perfect- she would email us with updates about once a week and was always accessible via phone/text. Also, she made it a point to be in constant communication with my mom, which helped tremendously in calming and easing the situation. We had the chance to meet Rupal and her assistant Taseer several times before the actual wedding and every time we met, I remember just being blown away with their progress. Malenia understood the cultural barriers and wanted to make sure that everyone was comfortable from both sides of the family. On the day of the actual wedding, all I can honestly remember was how much fun and joy I had; Malenia took the worry out of all the wedding day stress and anxiety. Everything was absolutely perfect, and Malenia made my dream wedding possible. I will absolutely be recommending Malenia to anyone I know getting married/looking for an event planner. Save yourself the stress and let Malenia take control.
