    Must hire coordinator!

    Sweety and her team were a huge help to us in our wedding planning process. She was very understanding of our budget, and offers great value in her service. She’s great at suggesting ideas for the flow of events, vendors, and decor, as well as interfacing with our venue and vendors in the Pacific Northwest, to ensure a smooth day. Our wedding involved a lot of cultural intricacies and rituals (South Indian Hindu wedding), and Sweety was happy to dive right in to understand them and honor them. She was great at making sure that we, as the bride and groom, didn’t incur any additional stress on our big day, and was very respectful of all our guests’ needs. She retains an incredibly positive energy and is extremely organized. You can’t go wrong with using Eventcracker for all your wedding needs. Our only regret was not finding her sooner in our planning process!

    You can't go wrong!

    Outside of deciding to spend the rest of our lives together, Sweety was the best decision we've made! We had many family circumstances on both the bride and groom side that lead to us putting together a multicultural wedding in 3 months. Sweety made us both feel cool, calm, and collected that whole time! We accomplished an amazing multicultural wedding with little stress, all thanks to her confident mindset and detail oriented planning. She was mindful of both cultures (Indian and American) and making sure all guests had fun and felt comfortable! She guided us in the right direction and offered more specific decision making if she could tell we were struggling committing to a decision. She was there every step of the way and was always available to check in on a moment's notice if we needed to check in. On the day of, she provided excellent coordination and I was never needed to answer any questions - my husband and I could just enjoy ourselves on the big day with zero worries! She managed all guests, vendors, set up, and questions that came about. We truly couldn't have pulled off this wonderful wedding without her and we are ever so grateful! I would highly recommend her for your wedding planning needs.

    Run, don't walk, to book Sweety for your next event!

    Sweety is worth her weight in gold. She is incredibly detail oriented, so friendly, and not only thought of everything but was so supportive of all our nontraditional ideas for our wedding. We had about 105 people at our event, and because we had eloped the year before due to Covid, we wanted to make some changes to the traditional wedding day timeline. Sweety not only embraced these changes (like walking ourselves down the aisle), but thought of brilliant ways to still include our family in our processional. During the many months of planning, Sweety offered to be on nearly every call we had with other vendors, from the DJ, photographer, venue, and florist. She has an incredible checklist and timeline spreadsheet that made planning much less overwhelming than it could have been, and she was just an excellent resource throughout this process. At one point about 3 weeks before the wedding, we realized we needed floral risers for our ceremony area. Before we could scramble to find an event rental company, Sweety had already sent us two recommendations that had exactly what we were looking for at an extremely reasonable price point. On the day of our event, Sweety and her assistant Alysia arrived early and had every detail we’d discussed placed and ready to go. They were also incredibly thorough with helping pack everything up at the end of the event, and had everything done in about half an hour. My mom and aunt were expecting to need the full hour for breakdown, but instead were home within an hour. We cannot recommend Sweety and her team enough!!

    Literal Life Savers

    Not only did Misty save the day and find my flowers after the church coordinator lost them but Alysia literally saved my niece’s life. My three year old niece ran out the front door of the venue and Alysia ran out into the street and grabbed her before she got hit by a car. I literally could not have asked for better help on what was the happiest day of my life but without EventCracker would have been the most stressful. Thank you girls!

    Awesome experience

    Our experience with Sweety has been amazing! Sweety was extremely diligent in the planing, working with us on every detail of the wedding down to the minute by minute schedule. She then ensured everything was executed as planned on the day of the wedding! Thanks to her and her team we were fully able to enjoy the day of festivities and know that things would be done as expected! She is an awesome planner who went above and beyond our expectations!

    This is your Wedding Planner!!

    I can't say enough good things about Sweety and her team at Eventcracker! They truly went above and beyond to make our wedding perfect. From start to finish, Sweety's attention to detail and meticulous planning blew us away.

    At first, I thought I only wanted to hire Sweety for day-of coordination. With my dad's event planning background and my experience as an Executive Assistant, we figured we had it covered. I am so happy we reconsidered and went for the full planning package instead! Sweety handled everything flawlessly, allowing us to focus on the things that mattered most to us.

    The Wedding Weekend was amazing, thanks to Sweety's impeccable timing and coordination with all the vendors. She had backup plans for the backup plans, and her professionalism was evident in every interaction. You could tell she was well-liked and respected by everyone involved.

    What really impressed me was Sweety's personal touch. Despite unexpected curveballs in my personal life, she checked in on me and made me feel like more than just a client. She genuinely cared and rooted for me throughout the planning process.

    Now, let me tell you about my dad. He's been an event planner for over 30 years, and I was nervous about his reaction to ANY Event Planner other than himself. But Sweety exceeded his expectations! He was beyond thrilled with her and her team, and he even asked if he could write his own review. (Go for it, dad!)

    In a nutshell, Sweety and the Eventcracker team are outstanding. They have the perfect balance of professionalism and approachability. Working with them felt like collaborating with a close friend. If you want a wedding planner who will make your day absolutely perfect, look no further. We are forever grateful to Sweety and her team for creating the wedding of our dreams! (Photo by Roberto Rodriguez - also the absolute best!)

    Thank you Sweety!!

    I hired EventCracker (Sweety) for one month coordination, and she went above and beyond. Even months before my wedding she was always super receptive to my questions. She even initiated her own tips, support, and friendly reminders. It really helped that she had worked with my venue before, and the fact that I found out about her through my venue and caterer goes to show how capable and enjoyable vendors found working with Sweety. My wedding went so smoothly, like truly it could not have gone better. I love that I was able to explain my vision, then trust her to execute it without feeling the need to micromanage (as I'm often prone to). She's a great listener and hard worker-- and on top of all her coordinating expertise, she always made sure to check up on me and care for me as the bride. Regular phone calls with her left me feeling like a weight was lifted off my shoulders. I’m the first one to get married in my Portland friend group, and I’m absolutely going to recommend EventCracker when their times come! Especially if you're looking for a coordinator or planner who understands the nuances of desi weddings, this is the company for you.

    Smooth Experience

    Sweety Was an amazing Coordinator! If you are looking for someone you can stop right here! She went above and beyond for our wedding even with the little amount of time she had. We hired her for the one month of her services and she took care of so many things I couldn’t be more Grateful. She stayed on top of things 24/7 and always made sure we were happy. We were impressed on the day of the wedding of how smoothly she ran things. Not once did we stress out over little things here and there as Sweety was already on it. Not only did we love her but the guests enjoyed her presence and were equally impressed, if not more, with her work and dedication to her Job. You can tell she truly has a passion for it and we would recommend her to anyone!

    Amazing and organized

    Sweety is wonderful wedding coordinator! She is very detailed oriented and made sure everything was planned out wonderfully. On the day itself Sweety was so prepared and took charge, she made it so I didn't have to worry about any details as she had everything covered and kept us to the timeline! I would definitely recommend Sweety to anyone looking for a wedding planner/coordinator!

    Incredible

    Sweety and her team at Event Cracker are absolutely spectacular. If you’re looking for a wedding planner/day-of coordinator, book her now.

    Here’s why:

    We had a destination wedding in Washington and had never seen our venue in person before the wedding, so Sweety was our go-to for all our logistical needs and questions. Wedding planning isn’t always easy, and planning a west coast wedding while living on the east coast makes it a little harder. We couldn’t have done it without Sweety.

    She’s kind, caring, attentive, and very responsive. We had several meetings prior to the wedding to make sure everything stayed on track and she was a constant reassurance that everything would come together smoothly. She even took care of hiring our bartenders and cleaner, all who did an amazing job at our wedding.

    Although Sweety couldn’t be present on our wedding day due to some circumstances out of her control, she prepared her assistant, Misty, so well and we never doubted that we would be taken care of on wedding day.

    All of the little details were executed perfectly by her team on wedding day, and we didn’t have to worry about anything. They also took care of the clean up at the end of the event so everyone could continue celebrating until the very end.

    You NEED Sweety and her team at your wedding. Her value is immeasurable, and I’d recommend her to anyone planning an important event.

    The best of the best!

    My husband and I hired Sweety about a year and a half ago and she was my lifesaver every step of the way. She is so kind, professional, organized, attentive, and offers the best moral support! Our wedding was perfect thanks to her and the eventcracker team. Don't look anywhere else for a wedding planner - just hire Sweety!

    Absolute best. A must have for your wedding!

    Sweety is truly the best wedding planner ever. She always is just a call or text away. She took so much stress off of my shoulders. She is extremely organized and made sure I was happy with everything during the planning and day of. She messaged vendors for me, helped set up and decorate my wedding, did the floor plan, just everything. She also has the best personality and is a great person all around. I could not have had my big day without her. She is a MUST for every bride and groom. Like I said BEST wedding planner ever!!! We love you Sweety, thank you for going above and beyond!! 🤍

    Worth every penny!

    Sweetie is incredible and made our wedding run so smoothly!! She made sure we executed our time line so we could get everything done we wanted to. She also took care of us, and made sure we had a plate of food, and a beverage. She is the kindest person, yet knows how to get things done and takes charge. 100% worth it to hire her for your wedding. You won’t regret it!!

    Great experience!

    I cannot say enough good things about Sweety. She was punctual, professional, organized and went above and beyond for our wedding. Throughout the planning process she thought about things that I would have never thought about, she kept me on track and she really took the time to understand all the little details that were important to me. On the days of the wedding events, she executed my ideas exactly how I envisioned them and really took care of everything so I didn’t have to. Can’t thank her and her team enough for helping me have my dream wedding!

    We can't thank Sweety enough for the amazing job she did planning our wedding. Sweety's guidance was pivotal in ensuring we stayed stay on track with our timeline, budget and tasks in a stress free manner. She was ALWAYS available when we needed her throughout the planning process all the way up to executing the plan on our wedding day. If you are on the fence about having a planner, we would tell you that you would be crazy to not hire Sweety to help facilitate your big day!

    Incredible!!

    I don't even have the words to describe how thankful we are to have had Sweety as part of our wedding. She was hired as a day of coordinator but her services extended far past any of our expectations and she was with us every step of the way as we planned. I didn't feel even an ounce of stress the week or day of our wedding and its all because I knew everything was left in the best hands!! The piece of mind made all the difference and she completely understood and executed our vision. Everything about the day was a dream and flowed so smoothly. I wouldn't change a thing and it was all thanks to her!

    A true miracle worker

    My husband put it best. Sweety from Event Cracker was our savior.

    We hired Sweety as our day-of coordinator, but we both know she went above and beyond what we hired her for. From my first conversation with her, I could tell Sweety was fully invested. We weren't just another gig she was trying to get, or another weekend she was trying to book. We were two people she wanted to get to know and wanted to make sure our day was the best day it could be -- and it was, thanks to Sweety.

    She calmed the chaos, negotiated with our sometimes difficult venue coordinator, and she even managed to tell my father what to do on the day of the wedding (something I'm not sure I've ever seen done before!) Her assistant, Misty was also an incredible help on our big day and we're very grateful to her as well.

    When it came to planning our wedding, Sweety helped immensely by giving us checklists of things we needed to accomplish before our next conversation with her. That method worked so well for us. Before we began our calls with Sweety, we were a bit lost on what direction we needed to go. Sweety's helpful spreadsheets, checklists, and timeline were all essential to the planning of our wedding.

    I could honestly write an essay about this woman. She is so damn good at her job. If you don't hire her, you're a fool. And no, I was not paid to say that!

    Hiring Event Cracker may have been the best decision we made for our wedding and I give Sweety full credit for coordinating the most perfect day imaginable. We love you, Sweety! -- Amanda & Tom

    Sweety service is exceptional

    We hired Sweety to coordinate my daughter wedding 8 months in advance. Ever since we signed the contract with her she stared working for us having once a month meeting and once a week meeting closer to the wedding day. She helps to detail the list and provided contacts for us to pick for DJ, Decor, Caterers etc. she coordinated with all our vendors to have all necessities of venue manager. On the wedding day she literally present all day (first person to come in and last person to leave).

    I cannot imagine how I would have managed without Sweety. She is a sweet person to talk to.

    I highly recommend her service for any event.

    So easy to work with and exceptional service!!

    Sweety is amazing and our bay area wedding could not have happened without her! We initially hired her as just a day-of coordinator and I fully expected to only talk to her the week or so of the wedding, but she did so much more.

    From the first day we met with her (a few months before the day) she kept us on track and made sure we had our vendors booked and shopping done in time. She had great suggestions but was never pushy and at the end of the day really took our vision to heart.

    On top of all of this, she was so so so easy to work with and made sure we weren't too overwhelmed. She tracked down annoying vendors and calmed down stressed parents with grace. When we thought that it was going to rain on our outdoor wedding, she helped us come up with plans B and C while still being optimistic. The day of she made sure everything was set up correctly and everything was packed up at the end of the night. The whole day, she and her team were in communication with all the vendors to make sure things stayed on track, including keeping close tabs on our photographer who tended to get over excited with the photoshoots.

    Overall I would wholeheartedly recommend trusting your wedding to Sweety and her team.

    The best decision of our wedding!

    Sweety is an absolute dream to work with and our wedding truly wouldn’t have gone off without her. She is the perfect mix of kindness and practicality, and takes true joy in helping people achieve their perfect day.

    We started looking for day-of coordinators, not convince we needed a full-blown wedding planner, but due to Sweety’s quite reasonable rates, we ended up booking her full planning package. Sweety helped us build the logistics plan for a completely off-the-beaten track wedding in a state park, in a barn that needed every single item from the tables and chairs upward. She met with us regularly and sometimes at the last minute upon our request, made sure we knew exactly what we should be checking off at each interval, and even hired a team of servers to help with catering, setup, and the gamut of other tasks we couldn’t have foreseen and ended up needing.

    Sweety deftly delt with last minute changes brought about by our venue. She had the most empathetic response to my tables vs. tablecloths décor meltdown (despite the fact that she has done dozens of weddings and obviously knew these details wouldn’t end up mattering), and always helped relieve any stressors along the way. She was proactive with all vendor communications and managed to pull off a wedding in a location with no service that many of the vendors had never been to. I could go on and on. Stop reading. Hire her!

    Best decision we made! ❤️

    We absolutely lovedddd working with Sweety!!! She is truly fantastic! 😍 I cannot imagine our wedding happening as smoothly as it did without her unwavering support!!! Her optimism, her motivation and encouragement during truly tough moments, and ability to figure stuff out and execute is great! Exactly what we needed! She became a dear friend and companion through it all, which is exactly what we needed while navigating through all the covid related uncertainties, cancellations and challenges while planning our wedding. I highly, highly recommend her as a wedding planner! She truly cared about our goals and needs as a couple and definitely went more than a couple of extra miles to make our wedding a celebration for us! Very, very thankful we found her! Thank you so much Sweety ❤️🤗🥳
