The best planner!
Nutan was the consummate professional throughout the entire wedding planning process. Gentle, knowledgeable, competent, understand and empathetic to our needs. She was always calm under pressure, never pushy and exceeded our expectations in every way. -

A day no one will forget
The masterpiece that Nutan created can not be overstated. She is extremely responsive, and made us feel very special. We had not met Nutan before the wedding, but we immediately felt a connection with her that lasted throughout our entire planning process. She carries with her a sense of class that is second to none, and she makes sure that the bride and groom are happy. She puts your dreams and thoughts at the forefront of her planning, and never makes you feel like you are not her number one priority. We can not say enough about her, and what she had created for us. -

100/10 recommend Elegant Events!!
From the moment we hopped on a call with Seema, we knew Elegant Events was the planner for us. Every single minute of the day was so well thought out far in advance. Seema was beyond a pleasure to work with- truly a friend for life. Their relationship with other vendors is unmatched. The entire day was perfect thanks to every member of the Elegant Events team. Nina and Rahi were wonderful, patient, and kind shadows to us on the day of. Through the planning process, Seema went above and beyond and was available whenever we needed her. She truly made us feel like we were the most important couple/ wedding. We look forward to working with Elegant Events on many occasions to come without question. -

Flawless execution
Nutan and Seema are the dream team for all your wedding planning needs. We primarily worked with seema during our planning process, they are always lockstep with each of their events. Everything seema knew, Nutan knew too! They are veterans in this industry and will guide you to make the right decisions/ choices throughout the process. We had hired Elegant Events just for the day of the wedding but Seema went above and beyond and helped us through pretty much all of our major events. They listen to the client, they understand your needs and then they tailor the right vendors to your vision so you get the most surreal experience on your wedding day. The first right decision we made ( besides saying yes!) was hiring them and rest was just a breeze. They paired us with the right photographer/ Decor/ makeup/ henna/ caterer EVERYTHING WAS JUST THE BEST. They raise the bar with each of their events and deliver a very custom experience for each of their clients. On our wedding day, we had assistants from their team paired with me and my husband and I couldn’t have done it without them! Incredibly patient and went above and beyond my needs. Nutan was hands on the day of and literally all of our guests were amazed at how flawless the execution was. Getting folks ready on time at an Indian wedding is nearly impossible BUT they made it happen. They nailed the timing down to the T and not a single event ran late. The endless conversations about the smallest stuff, the confidant, the friend, the empathy they will give you, cannot be bought ! This is just the most incredible duo and I couldn’t be happier! They delivered perfection and to this day, people talk about our wedding ❤️ -

Hire Elegant Events if you want your wedding to be better than you can ever imagine!
Nutan Auntie and Seema are the best in the biz! If you want your wedding to be better than you can ever imagine, you need to hire Elegant Events. They know how to do it all -- every one of our wedding events were different styles/vibes (from classy & formal to fun & colorful) and Nutan Auntie + Seema took each event to the next level!! Their creativity mixed with their years of experience and expansive network made everything so seamless and easy. We highly recommend the Elegant Events team and have so much gratitude for them! -

Dream Wedding!
Where do we even begin?! I am not sure I even have the words to describe just how much Nutan aunty and Seema supported us in the year and a half leading up to our wedding! Given the fact that I don't live in California, the planning aspect seemed overwhelming, however Nutan aunty understood my vision and made it the most BEAUTIFUL reality! Aunty and Seema's incredible attention to detail and overall eye for beauty and perfection really made our wedding experience spectacular. Our guests are still talking about their incredible experience and how everything was executed to perfection! Truly, not only did aunty plan our dream wedding, but she created an impeccable experience for our guests and we will forever be grateful. We cannot thank aunty enough and as we planned together she became part of the family! If you want a stress free experience, we cannot recommend Elegant Events enough! -

Nutan and Seema were there for us every step of the way. They gave great recommendations and made all of our dreams and visions come true.

Dream Wedding
Where do I start, Nutan and her team are the absolute best wedding planners we could’ve asked for. She became family to us throughout the process of planning, postponing and replanning. I simply explained my vision to Nutan and she turned it into a reality beyond my imagination. She thinks of every little detail, settles for nothing but perfection and is so easy to talk to about anything! Every single vendor she recommends is just absolutely phenomenal. Everyone who attended the wedding still talks about how smooth every event was and how happy we all looked the whole time and that was because of the Elegant Events team. They took care of making sure each event was executed in a way we could’ve never imagined. If there was anything our family or we needed, they were there immediately to take care of it. If you want to truly feel stress free for your events and have your dream wedding, Elegant Events Is perfect for you! -

Hiring Elegant Events was the best decision we made!
I'm not even sure I have the proper words to express our gratitude to this mother/daughter team for ALL the ways they have supported us in the year and a half leading up to our wedding. We interviewed multiple planners, but knew immediately this team was THE one for us. From making the difficult decision to postpone our wedding to going back to the drawing board re-imagining our weekend celebration with the Delta variant in mind, Seema and Nutan were with us every step of the way. Their incredible attention to detail, unmatched relationships with vendors, and their eye for elegance made our destination wedding dreams come true. Our three-day wedding weekend was executed to perfection and we were able to enjoy every moment of it because we knew we were in more than capable hands. Seema and Nutan helped us design not just our dream wedding, but they helped us create an experience for our guests. For that and so much more, we'll always be indebted to them.
We hired them as our planners and they treated us like family. They took a genuine interest in our lives, in our families, and all the things that are important to us. They will forever have a place in our lives and in our hearts. -

The Best Decision Ever!
Seema and Nutan are one of the BEST luxury wedding planners in the industry. Choosing Elegant Events as our wedding planner was the best decision we made after getting engaged! With over 13 years of experience, Seema and Nutan have every detailed step of the wedding planning process covered. With all the stress that leads up to the wedding, they made the wedding planning process the least stressful. Seema and Nutan helped plan the most perfect wedding day!
Since hiring a wedding planner is one of the first decisions a couple makes when they get engaged, it is difficult to understand how much work it takes to plan your perfect day. With all the work that they do, their pricing is more than reasonable. You not only get one planner, but you get TWO amazing and highly qualified professional luxury planners for the price of one. Seema and Nutan go above and beyond behind the scenes that truly make your day special. They are there in the morning ensuring every vendor shows up timely to the end of the event by your side. As a COVID bride, it was so confusing navigating through the unknown but Seema and Nutan made us feel so relaxed. Seema and Nutan can handle stressful situations with professionalism and grace. We had an unfortunate incident with one of our vendors who backed out at the last minute the day before the wedding. With their extensive rolodex of vendors, they went above and beyond to replace this vendor at a moment's notice and get them cleared with the venue so effortlessly.
They listened to everything we wanted for our dream wedding down to the smallest detail and made it happen. It is so important to have a wedding planner who listens to what you want. They advocate for you and liaise between the venue and vendors for you. Planning a wedding in California from New York can be difficult with the time zone difference. Seema and Nutan were so accommodating and worked around our busy work schedules. The day of the wedding is a whole production and so much goes on behind the scenes. We were so impressed at how smoothly everything went that day without a glitch. With Seema's finance background, she has every detail handled. We just enjoyed the wedding day and took it all in.
What truly differentiates Elegant Events from other planners is that they love what they do and they are so amazing at it. They are in this business for the right reasons. They are so passionate about their clients and truly want the best for them. Seema and Nutan are approachable and very easy to work with. They make the wedding planning process fun for brides. They incorporate your family to the process and ensure all parties involved are comfortable (if that is something you want and important to you). Seema and Nutan are trustworthy and reliable especially when it comes to making vendor decisions. They do not push particular vendors because they do not receive kickbacks from vendors. They provide highly qualified options for vendors who they have had experience working with to ensure your wedding day goes smoothly. The planning process can get overwhelming with so many options. Whenever we asked them for their opinion, they gave their honest feedback and we are so thankful we listened to their feedback otherwise our wedding would not have turned out this amazing.
Thank you so much Seema and Nutan!!-

Worth every penny
I can’t even begin to explain how amazing Seema and Nutan are. They are professionals who never once gave me the impression that I needed to micromanage anything. They were looking out for us every step of the way. Seema not only referred me to the most exceptional vendors but also negotiated most of our contracts. She went above and beyond for me/us and even went out to stores a day before our wedding looking for the perfect wedding shoe for me. If I wanted something done, she either figured out a way to make it happen, or was very honest (but gentle) in telling me why it couldn’t be done. When I had a vision for my wedding that didn’t seem to make sense to anyone, she found me a florist who understood my vibe, made my ideas so much better, and brought them to life. My parents were proud to host, and our wedding guests all said that our wedding was the prettiest and most seamless wedding they’ve ever been to. We never thought this would be possible during 2020 (Covid) but Elegant Events weaved a miracle together. Thank you Seema and Nutan, for making our wildest dreams come true. Seema, you were a stranger when I first met you, but in just a few months, you’ve become one of those true friends I never knew I needed in my life. Thank you! Our wedding was on 10/03/2020 -

Flawless, Creative, Perfection, Organized, Easy To Work With
It's difficult to put into words our gratitude to Seema/Elegant Events for the guidance and support throughout the wedding planning process and the execution of the events themselves. It was truly a fairytale wedding. We had so many guests say it was the most amazing, most enjoyable and most grand wedding they have ever been to in their lives. Everything went off without a hitch.
We did have a problem with the bride’s custom dress that came in wrong (which had nothing to do with Elegant Events), but Seema got very involved in helping us solve this problem which was above and beyond her job description. Seema was not only an outstanding wedding planner, but has become our very good friend over this past year.
Seema is an expert in handling all of the fine details. She is a perfectionist. She is always calm and has a great rapport with all of the vendors.
She is creative and has wonderful taste in everything she does.
If you are getting ready to plan a wedding and want it to be amazing and flawless, Elegant Events is who you should call first.-

Absolute Perfection!
Our experience with Elegant Events was incredible. The level of attention, the creativity, the passion, the organization, the thoughtfulness and pure execution was just impeccable. Our wedding would not have been the same without Nutan & Seema - they were able to take our vision and bring it to life in a way we couldn't have imagined. Because of them, we were able to enjoy the wedding planning process, and most importantly the wedding weekend was completely stress-free. I would highly recommended using Elegant Events!! -

Nutan & Seema
Nutan and Seema are the premier wedding planners who really know how to make sure you are comfortable with the entire wedding planning process. I would recommend them 100%. They go above and beyond to make sure your day is as special as you imagined it to be. Thank you for the incredible experience that was truly magical and unforgettable!-

Best Wedding Planners!!
Seema and Nutan Auntie are the best planners out there! They helped make the wedding of our dreams come to life. It was everything we could have envisioned and more. Not only were they our planners, but became our friends. Nutan Auntie is the backbone behind this well oiled machine. She has raised a dedicated, warm, caring daughter. Seema truly cared about us and went above and beyond to make sure we were stress free during the planning process and all of the events. We are so honored to now call her a friend. Our parents were able to sit back and enjoy like guests. Our event spanned over three days and each day went seamlessly. They are so detail oriented and passionate about what they do. Each vendor also went above and beyond because of their relationship with elegant events. Every guest came up to us and commented on how well organized and impressive the weekend was given we had 400 guests and three days of events. Their entire team during the weekend, Sana, Anisha, and Amit, were so caring and treated us like royalty. They made sure to check in with us and were doing things for us before we could even ask. The only thing worst than the wedding being over is missing this entire team. The weekend would not have been nearly as amazing without them. We now understand why Elegant Events is the best in the business. The term wedding planners does not do them justice. They put on such an amazing production. I have never been to a wedding on par with what they helped us create. We cannot thank them enough!! Our parents are still beaming with joy and pride. We love you guys! Love, Gurveen and Neil. -

Wedding planner delivers dreams with no drama
Nutan Shah and her team at Elegant Events are the absolute best. She takes time to listen to what your wants and must haves are, what you are flexible on and makes suggestions on things you may never have thought of/considered. She doesn't push her agenda but finds the right fit for vendors and design to match your dream. She always answers messages/phone calls promptly. She gives you honest opinions and realistic expectations. I was blown away by the final events; it exceeded every expectation. My parents loved working with her and still maintain contact. I highly recommend Nutan and her team. Stop your search and book her now before someone else does!! -

Working with Nutan was probably the best decision we made during the whole wedding process. My wedding day ran so smoothly and my family and I were able to enjoy every moment, which I have noticed is not common for many brides and their families. Every call or text I sent was responded to, quickly and efficiently. When planning with Nutan we felt like she was part of our family. I highly recommend working with elegant events! -

Nutan and Seema and their team delivered in every respect. We planned a destination wedding for our son and daughter in law in Laguna/Dana Point/Newport over 3 days and multiple venues and needed someone local to coordinate all the events. Some of the best venues in SoCal recommended Elegant Events by Nutan and we can see why. They provided not just the event planning but provided great counsel and moral support. The Vendor options they provided were all first rate and they worked with them to ensure all our requests were satisfied. It is requisite for planners at this level to be organized and professional, which they are, but they go above and beyond and are always available. They truly care and are patient and understand all the emotions involved in planning such a big occassion.
For the actual event days we had great confidence in them and left everything to them so we could enjoy and be present at the events. The events all exceeded our expectations and the guests were wowed day after day.
Thank you to Nutan and Seema for all you did and for the friendship that has evolved through the process. Having been involved in other weddings, nothing comes close to how this team puts things together. -

I can not express enough how grateful I am for the amazing wedding experience we had after working with Elegant events. It was like my second family for a year that worked through every detail with so much love and attention that my wedding event went perfectly. My family and I will be forever grateful for the memories and if you want someone to make your dreams come true, stop looking... this is it! -

I couldn't have imagined planning my wedding without Nutan Aunty! We are from FL & we decided on a destination wedding in CA. As we were going up & down the Cali Coast looking for our location, all hotel event coordinators said "Nutan from Elegant Events" when we asked who they would recommend to us as a wedding planner. During our trip, our focus was not to hire anyone quite just yet as we didn't even have our wedding location! However, after hearing all the high praises, we decided to give Nutan Aunty a call. She was very flexible and met with us in the lobby of our hotel. She was so thorough and came prepared, Ashik and I knew we have found our wedding planner - we didn't even interview any other planners. One thing Ashik and I greatly valued with Nutan Aunty was she always made sure everything executed during the wedding was what WE wanted. She is always available for a phone call and answers emails right away! We spent 1 year planning our wedding, & Nutan Aunty has been there every step of the way. I only had to go to CA ONCE before the wedding because she was great coordinating me with all vendors! She gives her honest opinions on anything & will even tell me if something didn't quite fit my vision - which i greatly appreciated! After seeing how perfect every small detail came together during the wedding, I have no regrets! One thing I have seen with Indian weddings I have attended, they always somehow tend to run behind schedule, however not with Nutan Aunty! Everything was perfectly on time. All guests noticed this & raved about everything starting on time. When you hire Nutan Aunty, she makes these awesome day to day timelines which were so handy. The wedding day can become very overwhelming, but these timelines put me at ease as I knew that everyone in the wedding party knew exactly where to be and at what time, so I didn't have to worry about anyone (which is something I am guilty of doing!) Thank you so much for treating me like your daughter!-

Nutan and Seema of Elegant Events are by far the BEST! I found them through my photopgrapher-I hired him first, loved him a ton and asked for three referrals for planners to compare. After interviewing two I met, Seema and Nutan and from the second i met them, i knew they were the right team for me. Professional, elegant, honest and sharp. They showed up with a carefully designed checklist of all the items they would help with as well as what my responsibilities would be. For a super Type A bride like me I loved it. I thought to myself, these are the women I wanted representing me throughout this process. From what I understand there are a few types of brides, and Seema and Nutan are perfect for all. They can handle the hands off approach that some brides take, where they give them the reigns and say, "please decide whatever looks amazing, I trust you." They can do that impeccably. If you're that kind of bride, just know, you are in GREAT hands. Unfortunately for me, and sometimes them, I was not that kind of bride. I looked at every contract, analyzed every word, every bill, asked for multiple options for each vendor, had no less than 50 meetings, three design meetings, questions, probably sent 5,000 emails. I would check and re-check. They had their hands full with me, and both seema and nutan made every dream come true. I felt like they fought for what i wanted, fully executed on my vision as well as were honest when they thought i was going to do something that was a mistake and may compromise the quality of my wedding or the experience of my guests. Weeks before my wedding, EVERYTHING WAS DONE! I GOT TO RELAX! The rehearsal, the wedding day, the brunch, everything was executed ON TIME and flawlessly! Seema and Nutan made sure that the entire wedding party, family and vendors were doing their job. Took every picture! When i tell you there wasn't one hitch, there wasn't. It was incredible. Thank you Elegant Events!! You made my dreams come true!! Cortney & Adam -

Planning any wedding is a mountain of a challenge. SOOOO many details every step of the way. An Indian wedding felt like the Everest of weddings: multiple days, events, tons of guests. It's not for the faint of heart.
Nutan Auntie -- she truly became like family -- helps you have a wedding where the details are checked off & the event feels unique to you & your partner. A couple key things make that happen:
01 Auntie treats each event like it's her own. Her team cares, wants you to have a fantastic time, & it shows in every interaction. They really want you to enjoy the process.
02 They help you think through every detail. From venue selection to menus to design -- her team is constantly pushing you to think about what you want out of the wedding, so her team can make it a reality.
03 They have your back. The wedding industry is full of things telling you what you "should have." Auntie helped identify which details mattered most to us, focus resources towards them, (& let others go). She shares her honest feedback as you think through details of the event, which is invaluable when you're in the thick of it.
04 They're flexible. Auntie & her team share their opinion and folks they'd reccommend working with. Makes sense. They have experience & share what they knkow works. BUT -- they're down to work with folks they haven't worked with before & help keep everyone on track. We worked with a designer, florist, photographer, & videographer they hadn't worked with before. All these vendors gave us rave reviews about Auntie & her team.
05 THEY PULL THE DAMN THING OFF. She's done a zillion weddings and knows how to put on an incredible event. My partner and I were able to enjoy every minute of our wedding, because we knew Auntie & her team would keep the trains running on time. They made it all happen without a hitch.
Auntie & her team helped make our wedding a beautiful, memorable event that felt like US. We love them forever for it. -

Nutan Shah and her team at Elegant Events are the best decision I made when starting to plan our wedding. They are always there for you and guide you along the whole way, always enthusiastically. They took away much of the stress that comes with planning a big wedding. They are experienced and you can trust them to bring your vision to life, all while keeping your budget in mind. When the day finally came they exceeded any expectation we had and created a dream wedding for us. We were blown away! They are so professional and everything was timely and impeccable. Nutan and her team have become family to us, and will forever be in our hearts. We shared this special experience together. Not only are they gifted at what they do, they are also wonderful people that we are blessed to know. I would choose them again, every time.-

Nutan made my daughter’s dream wedding possible and it goes without saying that I would highly recommend her! I had no idea where to start the planning stages and Nutan kept me calm, cool, and collected during the entire process for which I am immensely grateful. Planning a wedding in California when you live in Texas is no easy task but Nutan made it seem effortless. Nutan uses the best vendors while being mindful of budget which was also very important to us. She told my daughter and me that all we would have to do on the wedding day was show up and have fun and it was true! We completely trusted her and were left speechless when we saw everything come together. Everything from Nutan’s ideas to execution was absolutely perfect!-

Not sure where to even start here! Our wedding was absolutely a dream come true, all thanks to Nutan, Seema and the Elegant Events Team! Not only were we blown away but so were our guests. Everything turned out to exactly how we wanted, was planned to a T and the actual event went absolutely perfect! When my husband and I first met with Nutan and Seema, they told us their goal was for us to feel like guests at our wedding and this was truly the case. With all the emotions and anxiety that builds up for your wedding day, we were really able to relax and enjoy knowing that they were there by our side through the whole thing, and really I mean the whole thing! Through the planning, they were available at all times and always had our and our guests best interest in mind. The comfort of working with a team so professional, knowledgeable, caring and kind for a day so important to us is a decision I can’t be more happy and lucky that we made. A year of planning with them was an absolute pleasure and we are going to miss having an excuse to talk to them all the time. We couldn’t thank them enough and wish we could do it all over again and again! -

Nutan, Amit, Seema, and the entire Elegant Events team are absolutely spectacular! It was been 2 months since I got married, and every time I run into my guests, friends, and family, they always reiterate what a beautiful and well organized event it was. My husband and I gave ourselves a solid 15 months to plan and execute our traditional Sindhi Hindu 350 person wedding, and we are so happy that we were able to have Nutan and EE on board with us. My family has worked with Nutan before; she was the go to event coordinator for my brother's wedding 5 years ago in Orange County. When I got engaged, I knew that I wanted to work with her too! My husband and I did some of our own research in terms of our wedding venue and chosen date. Nutan is meticulous about event timelines and organization. For the wedding, we were able to achieve everything we had envisioned, from the open style mandap decorations, to the elevated brushed gold catwalk aisle and stage, deep purple and blue and pink romantic florals and lanterns and décor, amazing DJs and lighting, live dhol players, to the delicious snacks, lunch, and dinner for our guests, to the marble escort cards, to our customized dance floor, to the incredible dessert display. Nutan and her team have been in the industry for many years, and know everyone. Nutan connected with the people at our venue, the Wyndham Anaheim Garden Grove, to work out all of the details. We envisioned ethereal draping, and gold infinity chairs to match our elevated stage aesthetic. We wanted comfort, elegance, romance, and beauty. Nutan worked with us to make sure we were happy every step of the way. She is a gem. Hire her. She is the best! The end result is amazing video and photos of the most incredible day of our lives. Tip for newly engaged couples: give yourselves time! Be open about your desires and needs and communicate those with Nutan. She will advocate for you, she is always on your side! With gratitude, Rosie Kar and James Foulds -

Planning a wedding can be extremely stressful! Especially if you live on the opposite side of the country from where you are getting married! Nutan and her team were amazing at helping keep the stress to a minimum. She's always just a phone a call away and accommodated my hectic schedule for face time or phone conferences. The end result was spectacular and from my simple vision, she created a masterpiece. She uses only top notch vendors while still being cognizant of the budget (which is very important). Every step of the way my guests and I were just in awe of how amazing every detail was all the way from our wedding invitations to our spectacular reception. If you pick Nutan and her team to plan your wedding, you're not just getting a wedding planner. She becomes a part of your family and your biggest cheerleader and that kind of bond lasts for life. -

Nutan made planning our dream wedding in 2 MONTHS so easy and seamless. All we had to do was say Yes! We closed our eyes, trusted her, and were amazed BEYOND our imagination. It's because of Nutan relationship, reputation, and quality of service that we hosted our wedding at one of top resorts. She introduced us to top quality vendors that easy to work with, creative beyond imagination, and provided a OUTSTANDING experience for our guests. In my interactions with her vendors, I quickly realized that they love working with her and her clients. Nutan and her vendors went ABOVE & BEYOND to make sure our day was truly special. Nutan was always checking in to make sure I was fully happy, and always had a great solution in her back pocket. Three weeks before the wedding, we had an idea to host a party on a boat. Within a day helped us get an amazing deal to host a welcome dinner on a yacht. Working with her, you'll get the best deals and a save significant amount!
I've had so many compliments from my friends and family that couldn't believe that we planned this wedding in 2 months, and that it was more personal and flawlessly executed. Quote from one of my guests "I'm still in awe of how thoughtful and flawlessly executed your wedding was. This is the best wedding I've ever attended, I would have never thought you planned this in 2 months." -

Finding a perfect wedding planner is an essential key to succeeding in planning a flawless wedding. Nutan Shah checked all the boxes easily. While searching the Internet & watching endless videos I was only drawn her daughter, Seema’s wedding. My mom & I were hooked from the moment we saw the video’s style of keeping Indian tradition while adding a modern & elegant twist. From the moment I met her everything from the detail on her information packet, stylish presence, & calm demeanor made us feel comfortable, excited & sure planning a wedding about to be an enjoyable ride not a stressful one.
Since we had 300+ guests & 7 events in 3 days, one important factor on my list was to ensure that my mother was stress free & got to achieve her creative goals. Nutan kept us meticulously organized throughout the year, while being extremely genuine, honest, & kind. She never failed to miss a call or decline a meeting amidst a busy schedule. The meetings were some of my favorite memories as I reflect on the year. The vendors she works with are outstanding & have a great relationship with her--she selects perfectly for ones needs. Her creative ideas paralleled ours & we always felt like she cared for elements important to us, while giving her expertise along the way.
When I reflect on the fairytale days of the wedding I am still speechless. Her team was extremely attentive, took initiative, & worked together seamlessly. People were stunned by the coordination & endlessly asked who was the mastermind behind such a well-orchestrated wedding. Nutan Shah created a storyline while creating a build up for a grand finale reception. I can vividly remember seeing reactions as guests entered, they stood stunned in a standstill while gazing around & jaws dropped. Elegant Events gave our guests an experience of a LIFETIME. I can proudly say I have made lifelong friends who are so dear to me & my heart is full. Being an Elegant Events bride was truly an honor & the BEST decision I made. -

THE BEST WEDDING PLANNER YOU WILL EVER FIND !!!! When I hired Nutan Shah for my daughters wedding , she told me that the only thing I needed to do was walk in with all the outfits . True to her word , that was literally the only thing I had to worry about ! From start to finish she was there to organize , negotiate, make phone calls etc . She accompanied me to every single venue that I wanted to look at , made appointments for all the vendors AND attended each and every one of the meetings . Her vendors love her too which make it a very well coordinated, happy event . She made it possible for our family to be able to enjoy our own event without all the stress of making sure everything was being taken care of . I cannot say enough good things about Nutan and her team !!! She is very professional , presentable and amicable with everyone she works with . She will work within your budget and still manage to make your event look and feel like a million dollars . WELL DONE ELEGANT EVENTS

Nutan and her team were FLAWLESS! I have never seen an event executed on-time, so smooth, stress-free (at least for the Bride/Groom and our families), and elegant!
Through out the planning process, Nutan was always readily available and flexible, and she never ever said no to attending all the vendor meetings with us. Many wedding coordinators have limitations on how much time they will give to you or how many meetings they will attend, but Nutan has no limitations! She was 100% part of all the planning, and was always picking up my calls and answering my texts and emails quickly! This was very important to me because I like to be on top of my planning and decisions, so having a coordinator who could keep up was amazing and made the planning very smooth and enjoyable!
Knowing I was in the hands of Elegant Events by Nutan, I was honestly stress free the week of the wedding and couldn't have gotten better sleep the night before the wedding. I do not think many brides can say that! -

I knew that Nutan's coordination of Weddings was excellent before hiring her, as I've seen her work multiple times. That being said, I was literally amazed that she managed to completely exceed my expectations with such a wonderful two days of events! All of my guests had such a terrific time that they truly were sorry to see it end. Nutan and her wonderful team assisted with every detail and I cannot imagine doing an important event like my Son's wedding, without her. Her preferred vendors were equally amazing. WORTH EVERY PENNY spent. -

Working with the Elegant Events team was truly a dream! They are professional, hard working and honest. They go above and beyond to help make your day what you envision and more. The amount of care and time they put into helping you plan your wedding is truly immeasurable, by the end of the planning processes they feel like members of your family. They have wonderful connections with other vendors along with the experience and know-how to handle any situation that can come up on or before your wedding day so that you as the bride and groom don't have to worry about anything except enjoying the moment. I would highly recommend Elegant Events to anyone who needs a wedding planner! -

Nutan of Elegant Events is without question the best in the business. Nutan and her team exceeded all of our expectations ten fold while consistently going above and beyond every step of the way. When the stresses of wedding planning slowly started to become visible, Nutan was always there to help ease the stress and reassure us that everything would be perfect!
Even with all of the countless calls, emails, in-person meetings, and venue walk thrus all the way in Palm Springs, Nutan always made time for us. Nutan was on top of everything from day one and made sure that not a single detail was spared. From the detailed timelines made early in advance which left no surprises, to the experienced suggestions she was able to give us all along the way.
Nutan made us feel as if she was planning a wedding for her own family along the way, and it made the whole experience that much more special. We couldn't have asked for a more attentive and professional coordinator to make sure that our special day went exactly as planned!
Her passion for her job is evident in her professionalism, eye for design, her knowledge, her honesty, and her perfection of details. We couldn't have hoped for a better wedding planner and our wedding was the absolute best wedding any of our guests had ever been to! We can't recommend Elegant Events enough! -

Planning a wedding for 200+ is not an easy task and planning a wedding with two ceremonies in SoCal while living on the East Coast and in less than 6 months is not for the faint of heart. Having Elegant Events by Nutan assist made the occasion a success.
Nutan and her team work endlessly. She's very prompt in answering texts/emails and accommodates your schedule as needed. She was very helpful in managing vendors and ensured they understood my vision for the big day. What's more, she greatly assisted in negotiating vendor contracts and suggested substitutes that didn't compromise the vision I was going for. Nutan does not get a cut from any vendors - her only aim is to help find reliable vendors. The money we saved was helpful in planning, and we would not have been able to secure the rates we did without her help.
What was most touching about her planning my wedding is how she treated it as if she were planning her own daughter's wedding. We did not know each other prior to wedding planning, but over time, she and her daughter became our friends and took a personal interest in the big day and afterwards. It was incredibly sweet she prayed for good weather on my wedding day the night before and spent time assuaging my mother's anxieties in the days leading up to the big day. Together, she and her daughter Seema made sure everything started and ended on time - the pictures, start/end time for the morning and afternoon ceremonies, lunch for guests, an evening cocktail hour, and reception. Many of Nutan's suggestions were unique and added elegance without creating a strain on our budget. That she goes above & beyond tells you that Nutan truly enjoys her work & wants every bride to have a magical day. Thank you, Nutan, for giving me the most PERFECT wedding day! -

What can I say about Nutan and her team? I am so happy that I went with her. Nutan was great at communicating with us, for suggesting vendors , setting up timing etc. with the vendors, coming up with a timeline, and just being there to talk. We were so relaxed the entire year before our daughters wedding, it didn't even feel like we were doing anything! And it's because Nutan was busy making sure everything was getting done. She reminded us when to do certain things and also she took care of all the details to make sure we got what we wanted.
My daughter's wedding was a dream come true- everything was beautiful, on time (to the minute), but most importantly, I could see that I was not stress at all and enjoying my daughters wedding. Even our family complimented so much about everything and they were all surprise to see me so calm and not stress at all. It is all because of Nutan and her team. I highly recommend her for your event!!! Thank you so much Nutan!! -

Nutan and her team are simply amazing. They made our night the most special and memorable night anyone could have asked for. Our venue was at the historic downtown LA's Millenium Biltomore Hotel's Crystal Ballroom, a sight to see in of itself. However, what Nutan did with the place can be described as nothing short of magical. She transformed that ballroom into a fairyland. The wide open gasps on the faces of all our guests said it all. We had several guests immediately run and ask for her card, a testament to her work. Furthermore, throughout the whole wedding process, she was always available and supportive. If she could not pick up the phone, she would always call back in a timely matter. Weddings can be stressful, but Nutan holds your hand the whole way if you need it. She has great suggestions, but also is not overbearing and will let the groom and bride run the show if they wish. Furthermore, her staff is unbelievably capable and professional. They are on top of the program at all times during the event and think of everything! They are always a step ahead. Finally, she is one who always has YOUR back when dealing with vendors. Some planners are known to skim off the top, but nothing of that sort happens here. Nutan is fair, honest and will always get you the best price. I would recommend Nutan a 100 times over. We have a large family based in southern California for many years, and have used a lot of planners for various events, and I can confidently say that southern California has a new Queen of wedding planning, and that is Nutan. -

We hired Elegant Events a year before our wedding and they were instrumental in the planning of our Southern California wedding. Nutan was organized, attentive, responsive, and professional throughout the entire planning process. She has great relationships with all the best vendors and she made countless vendor suggestions to make our wedding unique.
The day of our wedding could not have been more perfect! Nutan and the Elegant Events team coordinated everything which allowed my entire family to relax and enjoy the events. The team made sure my husband and I had everything and anything we needed at a moment's notice. We still receive so many compliments from our guest commenting on the smooth coordination of our event. That could not have been possible without Nutan and the Elegant Events team. We highly recommend Nutan and her team! Thank you Elegant Events for making our wedding events such a success!

We met with a few wedding planners and the moment we met Nutan, we knew she was it. Having her plan our wedding was the best decision we made!
Our wedding (and my parents) were in Orange County, but my husband and I live in NYC. So, we needed someone who was good at communicating/negotiating, super organized, who had a deep knowledge of and good relationship with the local vendors, and could help bring my parents' vision AND mine/ my then fiancee's vision to life.
However, the one thing I REALLY wanted for my wedding was for my mom to have a good time and actually enjoy the wedding, and not be stressed out and exhausted from all the work. I am Indian, and Indian weddings are long and crazy, and I had all but given up hope on accomplishing that one goal.
Nutan was great at communicating with all four of us, for suggesting vendors (she has great relationships with the best vendors in OC), setting up timing with the vendors, coming up with a timeline (we are talking down to 15 minute increments here), and just being there to talk.
At one point, maybe 3 months before our wedding, my then fiancee asked "So...what exactly is Nutan doing for this wedding?" EXACTLY. We were so relaxed the entire year before our wedding, it didn't even feel like we were doing anything! And it's because Nutan was busy making sure everything was getting done. She reminded us when to do certain things, and we made decisions about clothing, food, decor, etc.- but otherwise, Nutan took care of all the details to make sure we got what we wanted.
Our wedding was a dream come true- everything was beautiful, on time (to the minute), but most importantly, I could see in my mom's face that she was truly enjoying the day and not stressed out at all. I felt the same way too :) I could not recommend Nutan more highly! -

Most of our guests were awestruck at how well the wedding ,reception and other associated parties were planned , organized and executed ! The most common comment from our guests was 'we have never been to a perfectly organized event like this'.
From the initial planning to selecting the oceanfront venue, negotiating with Ritz Carlton, putting together a great team including décor, catering , videography / photography etc. Nutan and Seema took great care in organizing our son's wedding .They were personally involved and went with us to all the vendors. It felt as if it was their own family wedding. They were always available and reachable.
They come up with great ideas on 'how and what' and 'at what price'?
They form a perfect team together for high-end events.
We will never have any of our events organized by anybody else!
And we have also become friends ever since! -

Nutan and her team were absolutely fantastic. Everything went according to plan, as she made sure the timing of the wedding went according to schedule-not a minute was lost. All of the vendors she suggested did a great job, as we were especially pleased with her ability to get us a fair price with all the vendors. She truly is a artist in her craft. -

I had an unbelievable experience working with Nutan and Seema. I can't thank them enough for making our wedding the beautiful event that I always dreamt of. The planning process was made so much easier due to Nutan's level of experience and her ability to help meld the vision my parents had with our vision. Professional through and through, I must have called her a hundred times and always felt I had her full attention and interest. I also appreciated that Nutan and Seema took initiative to improve on ideas that we suggested, to modernize the event or make the experience more memorable for our guests. The day itself went so smoothly, and actually was on time for a large Indian wedding!
I can't say enough about the service that I receive and even 3 months later smile when I think about how I made the right decision picking someone to help us with one of the most important days of our lives! -

My family and I were blessed to hire Elegant Events by Nutan for our wedding. We had a few other contenders but ultimately chose Nutan because of the level of comfort we felt with her. She is extremely efficient, helpful and provides a great deal of care and personal touch in everything she helped us with. She was there to answer last minute phone calls, give us ideas or tips, and to constantly communicate with us on different issues that were going on. She also saved us a great deal of money by negotiating early on with a few of our vendors. We highly recommend her as she is not only patient and understanding, but she learns what kind of style and vision you see and replicates it on the final day. We were thrilled with our entire wedding day experience and thought everything went perfectly! Thanks for making our day so special! :) -

Elegant Events did an "Excellent and an Extraordinary" job in planning and coordinating my daughter’s wedding and, made our experience very enjoyable and pleasant. I will recommend them to anyone who is planning a wedding. They are locked in for my second daughter’s wedding when that happens. They are extremely knowledgeable and professional in their field and, responded to questions promptly and accurately. Other vendors commented to how impressed they were with Elegant Events work and are Collaborating on future wedding opportunities. -

Nutan Auntie and Seema were just fantastic and helped us achieve a wedding beyond anything either of us had imagined! From our initial meeting (that turned into a three hour gab fest!) I knew I had selected the right company. All the vendors they suggested were perfect and our friends and relatives can't stop talking about how incredible the day was. They really do go above and beyond to make sure everything is just the way you want it and they have become family friends rather than just a wedding coordinator. Elegant Events is THE company to go to if you want the happiest day of your life to be just that! -

Nutan, Seema, and Anita made a great team at our wedding. We got married on May 21, 2010 and didn't have the Elegant Events team jump in until about 2 months prior to the wedding. By the time I found them, I thought I had done almost everything already, so what would be the point of hiring planners? As the wedding came closer it became very clear...it was great to unload all our final payments, deadlines, small decoration details, and layouts on them and they did a wonderful job keeping everything together. Our wedding day was perfect! They were great at keeping our huge family together and lined up for photos, making sure everyone knew where they needed to me, laying out all the guest seating arrangements and lighting every last candle, making sure the correct music and mood was set, handling final day-of payments, etc....and they were able to do it all while keeping my husband and I and all of our guests happy! I would hands down recommend them to anyone who is looking for their special day to be a stress-free, fun, and romantic lifetime memory!! -

Nutan and her family running Elegant Events is a big con business targeting Indian couples planning to do their wedding around the Dana Point – LA area. Nutan is extremely highly priced $20k+ and then pushes you very hard to use her "preferred" vendors.
It is pretty apparent Nutan and Elegant is also getting a cut from the vendors she pushes you and your family to. Nutan tried the hardest with her preferred food vendor, Natraj, who probably gives her the biggest kickback. Other preferred vendors will include Chivari chairs for wedding furnishings like chairs, her cousin DJ Amit Kotecha who also does lighting, and Lin & Jirsa for photography.
She does nothing related to researching and negotiation and my wife and I had to do most of the planning and legwork. She will try to run the same playbook with every wedding couple she engages which leaves little to originality of your own wedding.
We had to push very hard to use some of our own vendors that we researched and got references on. She will play on the bride's stress levels of the wedding and fears of things potentially going wrong with vendors she has never worked with to get the ones she wants.
We verified with one of the vendors we selected outside of Elegant’s preferred vendor list that they were approached by Nutan to get a kick back from them and for future referrals. The vendors we selected were many times ignored by Nutan and her staff until my wife and I had to engage Nutan to respond to work with them.
For the groom side Nutan has her son, Amit, help during the day of the wedding and was absolutely a waste. He had no clue of the venue, schedule, and tried to have my sehra bandi ceremony done in the bathroom of the hotel as we were running short in time.
Save yourselves a lot of money, drama, and go with someone else or go with someone that just helps you out the week of or days of the wedding. You will have to do the same amount of work and save $20k-40k in doing so.
