Beautiful backyard wedding!

We booked Soraya and her team to plan and cater our backyard wedding this past fall. This was easily the best decision we made for our special day!

We had our concerns about the limitations of a home wedding, which Soraya easily put to rest. Soraya was incredibly accommodating, a true expert, and such a delight to work with. Her team handled everything perfectly — the delicious menu that blended our cultures, beautiful layout and decor, all the way to the remarkably efficient cleanup job after.

We have such fond memories interacting with different members of Soraya’s team throughout the day. Our wedding went effortlessly and stress-free thanks to their incredible work.

Indian Wedding

Soraya was amazing during our wedding process! She was extremely organized and made sure our vendors were all on the same page. The part I valued the most was that she made sure my husband and I had enough time together despite Indian weddings being so busy. She made sure if we had any delays she adjusted for timing as needed. She knew we loved dancing and made sure we spent as much time on the dance floor.

The most important part is that she handled all hurdles. Unfortunately our wedding venue had a computer system glitch and guests had difficulty checking into their rooms and wait times were long. She made sure guests were accounted for and that the wedding events proceeded smoothly.

I couldn’t recommend her more and she made our wedding day one to remember! Loved working with her.

Perfect fusion wedding

We had Soraya as our wedding catering and wedding coordination vendor and can't recommend her and her team enough. The Mediterranean/North African food was excellent and we got countless compliments on it from all of our guests. But most of all, the month-of and day-of coordination that Soraya provided was instrumental in our weddings success. During planning, Soraya worked with us to make our multi-cultural/fusion wedding vision come true and made spot-on recommendations and enhanced it. On the day-of, all of the myriad of little and not so little challenges we faced with our wedding were expertly handled by Soraya and her team. We felt to be in really capable hands on the day of that really helped us to be able to relax and enjoy our special day. A huge thank you to everyone in Soraya's team.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
