Of all the many decisions we made for our wedding, choosing Lion & Lamb Events turned out to easily be one of the best choices we made! My groom and I had to plan a wedding in Houston while living in Chicago and we really couldn’t have done it without Sobi Qazi and the Lion & Lamb crew. Having to plan from a different city, let alone a different state, can be extremely stressful and I was really looking for someone reliable and very well-organized. I had heard horror stories about some friends’ wedding planners, so I was very thankful to know that I could reach Sobi easily anytime, from the beginning of the process until the very end. Also being out of town, we put a lot of trust in Sobi to find vendors for our wedding. She has great contacts and relationships with the best vendors, so she was able to help us put together an amazing group that worked with each other seamlessly. Sobi also organized it so that we could really maximize our time with our vendors during our visits to Houston. She even offered to go to meetings on our behalf when we couldn’t be there which was so helpful. As an added bonus, Sobi has a natural sense of style and great design aesthetic that really made her weddings stand out to us when we were first researching planners. I also really appreciated that she was honest and gave us advice on when to save and when to splurge, so that we didn’t unnecessarily waste our money. I think the best thing of all was that we were able to truly relax and enjoy our wedding, and spend time with our guests. Many guests commented on how Sobi, Amy and the L&L crew were all over the wedding venue taking care of everything, and they even brought my groom and me food and drinks. The whole wedding ran smoothly and turned out better than we imagined! Several guests even told us after that it was the best wedding they've been to. I will highly recommend Lion & Lamb Events to any family and friends who will be getting married!

Amy and Sobi are the best! They make wedding planning so easy and ease the stress. Our two ceremony day was executed flawlessly and our families did not have to worry about a thing but enjoying themselves. Go with Lion and Lamb for a well planned and beautiful wedding!

Hiring Sobi and Amy from Lion and Lamb was the best money spent on the wedding! For the day of, I only concerned myself with relaxing and looking pretty. Sobi took care of the rest! She executed my vision perfectly from working with the hotel, decor, caterers, photographer, videography, and more. She has excellent working relationships with multiple vendors which allows for better pricing and accountability. I learned quickly that without someone to organize and execute your vision, all the money spent on everything else is wasted.

Being Pakistani, it's not that common to have a wedding planner, and I have no idea why! I was big on having an on time, very organized, non hectic wedding. Pretty much unlike any other desi wedding. Sobi made this happen. She kept to the schedule, politely informed guests to take their seats (and stay in them!), and worked with the vendors to make sure things went perfectly. She also speaks Urdu fluently, which helps with the aunties and uncles. My parents and family loved having them! I felt like Amy and Sobi where my eyes and ears while I was on stage, helpless to control things. They always came through, they even made sure we ate and had plenty of diet coke :). I was hesitant to hire a planner at first, but I'm so glad I went with Sobi! You won't be sorry!

Hands down, Sobi and her crew know how to setup and plan a wedding !!
From our initial meeting and all the way till the end of our reception, Sobi took care of EVERYTHING !! You gotta love a wedding planner that respond to emails and texts IMMEDIATELY ! We wanted an exotic and unique wedding, and Sobi helped us achieve that ! She had even crazier ideas than we had LOL.
She was there in all the meetings we had with vendors, she made sure everything was clear and on paper, and she made sure we are getting the most for our money !
The day of the wedding, she was EVERYWHERE !! Sending us pictures of the setup and decor of the church and Hotel ballroom when we were still at home getting dressed ! She rocks !!!
We recommend Sobi and her team to all the brides out there ! They will take away that stress out of the equation !!

Sincerely,

Rick & Nicole Elhallal

What can't I say about the WONDERFUL Sobi & team at Lion & Lamb! I loved her so much I convinced two friends to book her for their weddings next year as well! Sobi did an amazing job from start to finish. We had a limited budget and she was able to work within our budget and make our special day that much more special. We were so pleased with her responsiveness (she replies to emails at 11pm!) and her ability to make anything beautiful! Our venue was not the best to work with but she went above and beyond to minimize the disruption to our guests (and there were serious disruptions). I can't thank Sobi enough for the awesome job she did!

Sobi and her team are absolutely great! I was not even slightly stressed out about any small details during all four days of my wedding. Thanks Sobi, you are great!

I have to preface this by telling you that I didn't pay anything for Sobi's services. I was selected in her drawing for a free one-year wedding planning package at the Houston Bridal Extravaganza in July 2011. I was shocked and amazed at Sobi's generosity in giving away her services for a FULL YEAR!

Sobi was a great help in planning our wedding. She will be there for you as much as you want her to be. I really enjoyed planning my wedding (and I didn't want to abuse her for free, haha), so I probably didn't rely on Sobi as much as I could have. But when it came to making appointments, voicing her opinion when you asked for it, and throwing out ideas, Sobi was a critical part of our team. She came to my dress appointments and kept quiet but gave me her opinion when I really needed it. She scheduled appointments for our food and cake tastings, our invitation design sessions, and DJ. She researched hair and makeup vendors for me and gave me her suggestions. On the wedding day, Sobi was calm, professional, and organized. She never came to me with issues on the big day, like when our flowers were late and in the wrong vases. She handled everything seamlessly.

Sobi was very responsive to emails and always punctual. I felt bad because I was often late to meetings, but she was always so nice! Sobi was also very flexible when I needed to change appointment dates or times. Don't be fooled by Sobi's young age, she is a hard worker and will get done whatever job you give her. Most importantly, she will keep you and your party organized at your rehearsal and on your wedding day.

I will never forget the amazing gift Sobi gave us, and I hope her other clients feel as lucky as I do. Having been through the process now, I would recommend that every bride hire a planner (something I was skeptical of before), even if it's just for the month before. You have no idea how hectic that last month will be, and Sobi will help you through it!

Joseph and I were blessed to meet Sadie with Lion and Lamb Event Services. She and her team were very professional, knowledgeable, and great at what they do. She made the entire process absolutely stress free that Joseph and I were able to sit back and just enjoy the experience. We didn't have to worry about a thing! She helped us find great vendors and gave us great suggestions that we never would have thought of on our own. On the wedding day she made sure everything and everyone stayed right on schedule. We received so many compliments on how beautiful everything was and our family members were so impressed with them as well. Hiring Lion & Lamb was truly one of the best decisions we have ever made for our wedding and we definitely recommend them to any engaged couples!

Thanks Sadie for all your hard work and dedication and for turning our dream wedding into reality!

I have nothing but positive and amazing things to say about Lion & Lamb Event Services! From day 1, Sobi was attentive and answered my 100 questions with reassurance and ease. My wedding was put together in a little less than 2 months and I never thought that it could have turned out the way it did! She made all my dreams come true and never once did I feel like I was put aside so another bride could be attended to. I recommend Lion & Lamb 100% to anyone for any of their event planning needs!

South Asian weddings are long, complicated, exhausting and very detailed oriented. Lion and Lamb made our Big Fat South Asian wedding BEAUTIFUL, Stress-free and fun! They helped with the overall timeline/event management for all 3 days of our wedding…yes- 3 days! From managing the family photos to setting up reception for 900 people- Sobi and team were there 200% with their hard work, clever solutions and attention to details! I truly believe that our families and guest were so stress free during the reception due to the hard work from Sobi’s team at Lion and Lamb. If we had to get married all over again- we would but only if we could hire Lion and Lamb team all over again! Thank you for your hard work, honest opinions, passion and can do attitude!
