    Absolutely amazing!

    Thank you Vikram and Sharad for taking our vision and making it 100000x more magical than ever expected. Your calmness, honesty and professionalism was much appreciated during a stressful time when other vendors may try to take advantage. Also, Vikram is a true artist and decorative genius! We have used elegant affairs before for other parties and my brother is using them for his wedding! You won’t be disappointed.

    These guys are the best!!!!

    My wife Lipika and I had our daughter's sangeet, wedding & reception (#ArshiaandNeil) at the Jersey City Hyatt Regency this past weekend (May 17th & May 18th).

    The decor was created and executed by Elegant Affairs. The venues (LIberty House for Sangeet and Hyatt for Wedding) offer some wonderful views, BUT, Elegant Affairs turned them into truly exquisite venues. Using just the right amount of decor, nothing overdone, they created an environment that blew our guests away. So many of them commented on how good everything looked. At the reception someone said this feels like a Karan Johar set!! Someone said at the wedding ceremony outdoor with the NY skyline as a backdrop that this is so elegant. This person had no idea about the name of the decorator!!!

    We must thank Sharda-ji, Gopal and Richa for their hard work. But more than the hard work, it was the constant smile on their faces, those tea and snacks that Sharda-ji so graciously provided every time we visited, that really touched our hearts. We never felt we were dealing with a vendor, it felt like a family affair.

    Sharda-ji, Gopal and Richa, thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

    Excellent Decor

    Sharda and her team at Elegant Affairs are the best in the industry. Their warehouse is huge and so many different options to chose from. I am so happy that we picked them. Their customer service is great. Our decorations looked amazing. We got so many compliments on how beautiful all of our wedding events looked. She had transformed the venue into something very spectacular. Everyone loved taking pictures by this beautiful floral peacock she had created out of orchids. The first time I saw the entrance to my Sangeet I could not believe how she had transformed the space into something very grand. Our wedding and reception decorations were very elegant. The flower arrangements are very beautiful that so many people took them home. I highly recommend hiring Elegant Affairs as your decorator. Sharda and her team will not disappoint you. They work within your budget to create your dream wedding.

    One of the best vendors ever

    Vikram from Elegant Affairs is one of the best people you could ever work with. He is patient and really works to understand what the bride/groom want, even if it means he has to do more work. He also goes above and beyond on the day of, focusing on all details of the event, not just the details Elegant Affairs is contractually responsible for. If you are looking into decor, and you are being treated rudely or pressured by other vendors, forget them and sign up Elegant Affairs.

    Our experience at Elegant Affairs was very eye opening as Shobha displays the many varieties of decor, themes and colors to choose from. Putting together my personal touch and style with her expertise made the process simple and fun! Great knowledge and recommendations were honest and helped me make the best choices for my Mandap and reception decorations. When I walked into the room for the wedding ceremony which ended up being inside due to rain I couldn’t have imagined the quick change to make everything look so elegant even though I had chosen decorations for an outside ceremony. The reception as well took my breath away. The Elegant Affairs team were timely in responses as many changes were made throughout my whole planning process. I highly recommend Shobha and her team to provide elegance to your next special event!

    We hired Elegant Affairs for our sangeet, ceremony, and reception. We worked with Shobha who was terrific. She treated us with respect and worked within our budget to create a unique design. We wanted to incorporate water into our reception decor and she suggested we add a waterfall which was something we didn’t think about. Our guests still tell us how beautiful the decor was.

    Elegant Affairs is the ONLY company to utilize when it comes to any celebration! I hired them for both my engagement and wedding events and they were incredible! Specifically, Vikram Panicker - the creative genius I trusted with my vision. He delivered beyond my expectations and created a stunning mandap I had never seen before. He understands personalities and then guides you in the right direction. If it wasn't for him I would not have gotten my dream wedding!! His assistant Klodiana was also very pleasant to work with and was responsive whenever I had a question. It really is a no-brainer when it comes to hiring a decor company that there is no one better than Elegant Affairs and Vikram Panicker. Know that you're only getting the best when it comes to them! Can't wait to hire them again for all my future events!

    Elegant Affairs was an amazing vendor and truly went beyond our expectations. We dealt primarily with Sharda who was so kind to us and patient throughout the entire process. One thing I found was truly different with EA from other decor places is that other places would take our budget and be like here are things that fall in your price range and we'll just plop them on the table and you'll be set. Sharda took our budget and actually came up with a room design that stayed within our price range. We had 3-4 different types of centerpieces in the same room and I didn't want to go with too many florals due to the time of year. We went with a candelight and crystal theme and the final product was breathtaking. Their designs are classy and as involved as you'd like them too. They truly listen to what you want and design things based off of your personality as a couple. We had a Christian ceremony and they even found a way to make the ceremony space as beautiful as the reception.

    On top of all of that, they took care of our florals - the corsages, boutonnieres, bouquets, etc and each piece was as perfect as the last. Thank you so much for making our dreams come true!

    Book Elegant Affairs. You will not regret it.

    Could not be happier with our wedding decor. We had three amazing and unique looks for our wedding weekend. Our Sangeet had a traditional Rajasthani vibe - colorful and fun. Our ceremony look felt royal and enchanting. The combination of the mandap, flowers, and lighting transformed our very mediocre-looking hotel space. Our reception was elegant and modern. Moreover, Sharda was so flexible, sweet, approachable, and cognizant of our needs and desires. It was such a pleasure collaborating with her through this process.

    If you choose Elegant Affairs, I assure you that you are in good hands!

    Absolutely divine magic! That is what our guests told us after the wedding. Thanks to Elegant Affairs!

    True to their name, Elegant Affairs is as ELEGANT as it can get. We worked with Sharda and her fantastic team of Gopal, Louise, Kim, and Miranda. And, what can I say!! Sharda, as the team leader, is absolutely amazing, very creative and extremely passionate about her work. Right from the start, she was very professional, and sensitive to our needs, without us knowing what we wanted to begin with. She guided us through the entire process of the wedding with her gentle and patient nature. She is unassuming, soft spoken, and very very knowledgeable about weddings, trends, styles, decor, and of course, flowers. Her final project was totally very unique, distinctive and above all, magnificent.

    Gopal , the choreographer- architect, is very pleasant and answered all our questions before and during the day. He was there the whole time, setting up the morning and evening stages on the wedding day. He is very meticulous and pays great attention to detail, which was exactly up our alley. Kim and Louise are in the office, and although we could never meet them personally, they were both very prompt in returning our emails and voice messages. And, the magical hands that actually brought it all to life, is Miranda, the incredible florist with her magical fingers. She, too, put her heart and soul into her creations.

    We were very lucky to work with this wonderful team. Among other things, they are very honest and very proud of their work – something that is becoming a rarity these days. We know and totally appreciate that Sharda went out of her way to make our occasion not only spectacular but absolutely unforgettable for us as well as our guests.
    Thank you, thank you, thank you, Sharda and Elegant Affairs, the ONE & ONLY! Undoubtedly, THE BEST WEDDING FLORISTS IN THE USA!

    Shobha Aunty we cannot thank you enough for our incredible reception décor. It blew all of our guests, me and my husband included, totally out of the water. It took my breath away every time I stopped for a moment to just take it all in. You are a true artist and visionary and entrusting our reception décor to you was the best and easiest decision of our wedding planning process. You are so thoughtful of every detail along the way and so pleasant to work with. Thank you for your utmost professionalism though out this whole process—you really seem to have a true love and passion for what you do and that is a rare find among wedding vendors today. Thank you for taking so much pride in our event and making our day a work of art! I cannot wait to send you the professional photos!

    Words cannot explain the exceptional work and skill of the Elegant Affairs team. Vikram and Ronak created a wedding look for us that surpassed anything we could dream of and went beyond their roles in helping us create our dream wedding. They are extremely professional, provide great service and truly deliver a masterpiece. The are truly accommodating to what you want for your big day and deliver that. I remember my groom and I sitting at our wedding and looking around thinking how perfect and flawless everything looked. I highly recommend them and they were hands down one of the best vendor's we had.

    Elegant Affairs is the best of the best for Indian wedding decor. We had a very specific idea of the design we were going for, and the Elegant Affairs team nailed it. Vikram met with us several times over the course of 9 months of wedding planning and patiently went over design options for our wedding ceremony, cocktail hour and reception. Elegant Affairs is by no means cheap, but it was well worth every dollar spent for their talent and professionalism. They also worked with us on our budget and honestly told us what were the things worth spending on, and what can be cut. My wedding venue was very challenging to work with, and Elegant Affairs went above and beyond to ensure we got exactly what we wanted, while still working within the last minute constraints imposed by our venue. We would highly recommend Elegant Affairs to anyone looking for a decorator!

    Shobha Rao and her team at Elegant Affairs really created the most beautiful scene at our wedding. Her coordinator, Kim, was so approachable and reachable. She was quick to answer any emails and phone calls.

    Everything that we had discussed with Shobha were actually present at our wedding with extra add-ins that we didn't even request (I've heard lots of stories with different vendors that if you order certain things--they skimp out on amounts/types of flowers/etc). She was so artistic and creative and her attention to detail was incredible. I highly recommend a consultation with her. She will sketch out a concept based on your ideas and you'll spend time revising it until its perfect. Great experience!

    We worked with Ronak and Vikram for the flowers and mandap for our recent wedding on Staten Island. They were both phenomenal - professional, punctual and attention-detailed. They met with us before the event and Vikram did a walk through with us at the venue. They had great vision and made amazing suggestions that ensured our wedding was how we imagined. The Mandap and flowers turned out perfectly and captured the simple yet elegant vibe we were looking for. We would recommend them to anyone!!!

    As you will read in other reviews, this decorator is expensive. However, THEY ARE WORTH IT.
