An absolute dream!

I knew long before having a fiancé to plan a wedding with that I wanted to work with Sarah Khan Event Styling, from seeing her unique touch at my friend’s wedding in 2015. Her talent and scale of events has just expanded. Working with her and her team was a dream. We had a detailed chat about our vision for each of the events and overall budget, and then received an itemized proposal with each part of the design explained (entrance, stage, centerpieces, signage, bridal bouquet, groom boutonnière, bridesmaid corsage, etc.). She also made suggestions for what rentals to use (linens, chairs, charger plates, etc.) that will help give a cohesive look to the room. I especially appreciated the extra time she took to understand my desire for a LOTR-inspired reception and brought that vision to life through the custom designed arch, shire-inspired florals, and lush greenery. Every part of the room had something visually interesting for guests to enjoy and the overall room had a beautifully cohesive look. I am super grateful to her and the team for all their hard work with set up and break down of the room. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! We would work with SKES again in a heartbeat for any future events.

Sarah Khan Event Styling - AMAZING

Our wedding day decorations were PERFECT! All of our guests were awed by everything. During the wedding planning process, Sarah Khan and her team were so patient and accommodating. They were able to make our wedding decor glam, sleek, and dramatic (everything we wanted), while working within our budget.

SKES - creating magic everyday

SKES did our Mehndi and Wedding during Labor Day weekend. We booked with her a year and half out and her team was very crucial in bringing the whole aesthetic together. The Mehndi design was fairly uncomplicated. We had a backyard event with a pool in the middle. SKES did an ornate backdrop with stools that added to the festive vibe of the day. There were lanterns hanging from trees, and these very cute Rickshaw centerpieces.

For the wedding day, SKES suggested a very unique color palette very early on – it was mauve, blush, and nudes contrasted with ash and black. Fahmid and I were instantly thinking “Paris at night” vibes, and boy did they deliver! The ceremony took place with a riser in the middle of the room, with an organza partition that SKES bedazzled in house. The reception was brought together with the most ornate centerpieces, lots of candlelight, and some lighting sorcery, that gave the entire room the most romantic atmosphere. I wish I could sit in the room forever and ever!

Amazing Experience

I cannot begin to thank Sarah, Amena, and everyone at SKES for their work for my wedding. There was not a detail out of place when it came to decor, items, or even things I had specifically asked for decor wise. Amena was very patient and helpful every step of the way.

Intimate Floral Design Perfection

Words are insufficient to describe the thoughtfulness and exquisite execution of Sarah and Bharati for our intimate 14 person affair but as an event business owner, I can wholeheartedly say that whatever I dreamed, Sarah and Bharati took and expanded it beyond our expectations. It was perfect because they listened to us, they were prepared and they knew that the floral design had to nail and represent the blending of two cultures. Was it an investment? Yes but when I look back and think about the quality we received, frankly it was more than fairly priced.

Stunning florals and a great team!

Working with Sarah Khan during my elopement in September 2020 was a DREAM. I had a few broad ideas of what I wanted but seeing them take that and run with it was amazing. Not only does their work speak for itself, they are wonderful humans to work with! Cannot recommend Sarah Khan Event Styling more for your elopement, micro or large wedding!

Sarah Khan's decoration and vision will make your day beautiful

Sarah and her team were amazing in their initial ideas, their desire to understand what we wanted for our wedding, and executing on that combined vision completely. We could not be happier with the beauty and quality of everything that was done for our wedding. Everything looked beautiful and exuded the utmost quality.

Thank you for everything Sarah, Amena, and team!

The most caring, thoughtful, and detailed experience!!

We are so grateful to Sarah and her team for working with us on our wedding. We were definitely hard to work with as I was abroad most of the year while my husband was busy with med school here, so it was hard to get ahold of us together for more than a couple days at a time. Sarah has built a grand reputation for herself, which definitely speaks for itself, that let me put full faith in her and completely let go of wedding stress, anxiety, etc. I was only ever excited to see the reveal on the big day and never felt even an ounce of worry. Her team was always quick to respond and beyond flexible to make the little details most important to us happen. I could keep going for days with my review of her work and services and but the bottom line is that your investment will speak for itself on your big day if you work with her!! It’s as simple as that, the proof is very much in the pudding (or the kheer)!!!

Wonderful, flexible team

We hired Sarah Khan to handle our mehndi and to construct the mandap for our wedding ceremony. Not only did they do a beautiful job both nights, but they were also so flexible. The day before the wedding we realized we needed an extra chair and coffee table on the stage for the wedding ceremony, and Sarah Khan was able to pull and reuse inventory for the mehndi that matched our wedding decor.

Best event decorator in DMV area AND beyond!

Sarah Khan and her team were absolutely incredible. Planning a wedding can be quite stressful, but the SKES team made the experience so easy and effortless for me and my entire family. Sarah was so incredibly attentive, calming, and easy to work with! Aside from a few of my own inputs, I asked her to take creative control of the decor since I was so stressed planning other things. It was the best decision I ever made. The team managed to execute every detail so perfectly that it went beyond my wildest dreams. Despite my Mehndi being located in Pennsylvania on a Friday night, and Reception in Delaware the following evening, everything went so smoothly and seamlessly as far as setting up for both events.

I got married back in April, but I still get compliments from family and friends about how stunning the decor was for both my Mehndi and Reception. I am so eternally grateful for Sarah for being a creative goddess and her team for being so fabulous. Thank you SO much - you guys are simply the best.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
