Book Chhavi for your Events!!

I booked Chhavi for me and my whole family on my wedding day that Includes my mother, My MIL and my Sister-in-Law. (First time wearing saree for both of them). My husband’s drape. She was amazing. We met before the wedding for ironing my saree plus other clothing items for the day of wedding and also to get an idea of what drape would look best on the wedding day and she did a great job. She was prompt, on time and prior to event gave clear timelines on how long each drape would take. My saree was heavy with intricate work but Chhavi made sure I feel my best walking, sitting and doing all the rituals and she was right. Carrying the saree felt like a breeze. Thank you so much Chhavi for being there and making me feel calm and comfortable!! Highly recommend her for all events!!

If you’re a petite bride, you need Chhavi!!!!

I still feel so grateful and lucky that I chose Chhavi to drape my wedding saree. As a petite bride (I’m 5’0”), I had always been disappointed with how sarees looked on me. Either they made me look much bigger than I am, or they just didn’t drape in a way that felt flattering. Since I wanted to wear a traditional Banarasi saree for my wedding, I was honestly nervous about how I would look and whether I’d feel comfortable wearing such a heavy saree for hours.

I found Chhavi on Instagram and instantly fell in love with her work. Seeing how beautifully she styled other petite brides gave me the confidence to reach out.

From our very first meeting, she was incredibly warm, professional, and took the time to explain everything in detail. I walked away feeling completely reassured that I was in the right hands.

On my wedding day, I couldn’t believe what I saw in the mirror. For the first time in my life, I truly fell in love with myself in a saree. She draped my 6-yard heavy Banarasi saree so beautifully that I felt elegant, confident, and, most importantly, comfortable throughout the day. She knew exactly how to style it to complement my petite frame.
Beyond her amazing talent, Chhavi is such a kind and encouraging person. She took so many beautiful photos of me and kept showering me with compliments, which made me feel even more special and confident on one of the biggest days of my life.
Thank you, Chhavi, for making my wedding day so memorable and beautiful. If you’re a petite bride wondering whether a saree will suit you, trust me you are in the best hands with her. I know exactly who I’ll be going to for all my future saree draping needs!

The best saree Drapist!

I am so glad I booked you. Like I mentioned, you are the first vendor I booked after we finalized the venue. As an saree lover, I absolutely loved all the looks. Such flawless drapes. You have been an integral part of my dream wedding. Thank you so much 😊

Fairy God Mother of Draping

As non-Indians, my mom and I were incredibly nervous about our outfits for my Indian wedding ceremony and Sangeet. We wanted to look beautiful, feel confident, and, most importantly, honor my husband's culture and traditions. Knowing how anxious we were, my husband encouraged us to hire a draper. At first, we thought it might be a little over the top, but Chhavi was truly a miracle worker.

Her professionalism, attention to detail, efficiency, incredible sense of style, and, above all, her warmth made such a difference in our getting-ready experience and in how beautiful and confident we felt throughout both events. My mom's saree was pleated and draped to perfection, and she felt absolutely gorgeous (and received so many compliments!). Chhavi also helped me style my lehenga, walking me through different ways to drape my dupatta and making sure I felt comfortable, heard, and beautiful.

I truly cannot recommend Chhavi enough. She is exceptionally talented, incredibly kind, and made me feel so well taken care of on such an important day. She also helped several of my family members and guests, making everyone feel comfortable, confident, and beautiful. If you're considering hiring her, do it—you'll be so glad you did.

Thank you Chhavi!

It was wonderful working with Chhavi for my bridal saree draping. She was highly responsive the week leading up to the wedding while we coordinated the drop-off and pick-up for pre-draping. She handled my bridal saree and madisar as well as my mom and sister's Iyer-style madisars. Her draping was deft, and both the saree and madisars stayed completely intact throughout the event. While my sister's madisar unfortunately ended up being draped the incorrect way, Chhavi's overall work was excellent. She brought wonderful energy to the room while we were getting ready, constantly hyping me up and making the experience special. She was the sweetest person to work with, and I would gladly recommend her services and work with her again.

Can’t recommend enough.

If you are second guessing whether it is worth having Chhavi drape you/your party at your wedding, just do it. She made all of us look totally flawless and paid special attention to the bride. Every pleat and fold was meticulously placed and ironed, and she makes you feel very beautiful by offering encouraging words of affirmation. She is very professional but extremely kind and beyond attentive. She cares so much about making everyone look amazing and feel comfortable. Sarees can be very tricky depending on the material, and having Chhavi there makes you have to worry about one less thing, leaving you to enjoy more of your special day. She is totally worth it and I cannot recommend her enough!

Chhavi is absolutely incredible!!!

Working with Chhavi was truly one of the best decisions I made for my wedding weekend! She was the very first vendor I booked because I knew I couldn't have anyone but her for my wedding. From pre-pleating my sangeet dupatta to draping sarees for my family, friends, and all of my bridal looks, she absolutely exceeded every expectation.

She is incredibly talented, efficient, and professional while also being so warm and kind throughout the entire process. Every single drape looked flawless, stayed perfectly in place, and photographed beautifully. We were even able to do a special entry dance in our sarees for the ceremony and nothing shifted out of place! I received endless compliments on all of my looks, and my friends and family kept saying how confident and beautiful they felt in their sarees thanks to her.

We even had needs for some new drapes that she hadn't really done before, like a 6-yards Iyengar Madisar drape and a Brahmani Nauvari 9-yards drape. Chhavi worked with us to practice both the drapes beforehand and did a trial with us to make sure we felt confident on the big day and ultimately she crushed it with both on the day of.

What amazed me most was how fast and calm she was while handling so many people and events across the weekend. She made everything feel effortless. I’m beyond grateful for her hard work, attention to detail, and positive energy. I cannot recommend her enough for any bride looking for someone truly exceptional!

Chhavi’s draping is perfect

I had the absolute best experience with Chhavi! She draped my tissue saree flawlessly, which is no easy task, and made it look elegant and effortless. What truly stood out was how she went above and beyond, even helping me with last-minute details like draping my dupatta perfectly for my reception look.
She also draped sarees for my mom and masi, and they both looked amazing. Chhavi is not only incredibly skilled but also calm, accommodating, and a pleasure to work with. I couldn’t have asked for a better draping artist, highly recommend her!

Wonderful Sari Draping for My Wedding

We had a wonderful experience with Chhavi as our sari draper for my wedding. She was very responsive and incredibly accommodating with everyone’s schedules, which made the whole process smooth and stress-free. She draped the saris for my family beautifully—each one looked polished, elegant, and perfectly styled. We were all so happy with how everything turned out. Highly recommend Chhavi for any special occasion!

An apt name!

Chhavi saved the day for our destination wedding in Mexico City! One week before our wedding, the local draping artist we had originally planned for our wedding in CDMX dropped out. Luckily, Chhavi was available and extremely responsive at the last minute. My mom had gotten our saris pre-pleated in India without any measurements and, unfortunately, the pleats were not in the correct places. Chhavi painstakingly stayed up until midnight ironing and re-ironing the sari so it could be perfect for our ceremony! Just one of the many details that makes her stand out. She was, by far, one of the best vendors we worked with, with such a personable, charming, and detail-oriented approach to each and every person she draped. She was extremely efficient with sari draping, so even when we were inevitably running behind, she could still find the time to drape all my friends and family. She also curated unique looks for each of my lehengas that held up through car rides and dancing. I never had to worry about anything coming out of place. As a testament to her skill, my aunt decided that she wanted to hire Chhavi for her daughter's wedding as well. Another of aunt's who already has many years of experience draping herself could not resist having her drape her own sari and managed to learn some new tricks. Our wedding would not have run as smoothly without Chhavi's help. From fixing our accessories to adjusting every detail of my outfits, I have to admire Chhavi's precision and perfection. Thank you for making our day so special!
