Amazing experience
We had an incredible experience working with Chandani from Events by C as our wedding planner and coordinator. From start to finish, she did an amazing job keeping everything on track and ensuring the entire day ran seamlessly.
She was extremely organized and proactive, consistently coordinating with all of our vendors and making sure everyone was aligned. What really stood out was her ability to foresee potential issues before they happened and handle them behind the scenes without adding any stress to us.
Thanks to Chandani, we were able to truly enjoy our wedding day without worrying about logistics. Everything flowed perfectly, and that’s a testament to her professionalism and attention to detail.
We highly recommend Chandani and Events by C to anyone looking for a reliable, detail-oriented, and exceptional wedding planner. -

The sweetest planner!
Chandani is one of the kindest and most hardworking planners in the industry. Her breadth of knowledge regarding vendors from food to sound to design is impeccable. She can coordinate small to large weddings; indoor to outdoor - if you're looking for someone with years of expertise who does everything with a smile, Chandani is your match. Highly recommend :) -

A beautiful wedding!
Chandani did the full-service planning for our wedding in June 2024. We appreciated so much her sunny and positive personality throughout the process, even as planning a large Indian wedding inevitably was complicated - her vendor recommendations were invaluable and consistently the best choices for us. She was an absolute rockstar on the day-of, making sure that above all the vision that my husband and I had for our wedding came through. She navigated family preferences, juggled very specific requests, and truly made our guests feel welcome and a part of something bigger. -

The best day of our lives 💕
Chandani and her team are the absolute best. I’m a picky bride - I met with not one, not two, but six different wedding planners before I met with Chandani (and I met with three more after). I was looking for a planner who could tell it to me straight - no BS - no telling me the dream I was painting with my stated budget was possible, but instead turning my dream into possible through thoughtful questions and approaches. We signed on to the partial planning process pre-deciding our venue, and that, for us was the best choice. She understood our vision, tailored vendors and venues to our liking but also beyond our imagination. We wanted someone to be a part of our team, not be a back seat driver or runaway truck. She was exactly that. The number one comment from our guests on the wedding day (after gushing about the bride and groom of course) was how timeline everything ran. We finished our hindu wedding ceremony 5 minutes early. IST who??? Truly, best decision we made. -

Hire Chandani for your 2026 Wedding!
When we first started planning our big multi-day Indian wedding, I was so overwhelmed. We initially had a different planner right after getting engaged, but that fell through due to unforeseen circumstances. So there we were, scouting venues on our own—and honestly, it became stressful very quickly. After we finally secured our venue, I interviewed multiple planners in the DMV, and it was immediately clear that Chandani was the right fit for us. She was calm, responsive, organized, and incredibly knowledgeable about both local and non-local vendors.
Chandani made the entire planning process feel so much less intimidating. She broke everything down into clear phases so we knew exactly which vendors to book and when. She reviewed contracts, helped negotiate pricing, answered all (and I mean all) of my many questions, and even brainstormed with me on how to bring fresh, innovative ideas to each of our events (including live painters, musicians, casino games and more!).
But truly, nothing compares to how invaluable her team was during our actual wedding weekend. As a type A bride, I hadn’t been able to turn my brain off for months, but once the weekend began, I had FULL confidence that Chandani's team would execute every detail flawlessly. I wasn’t bothered once—I got to be fully present and actually enjoy those days! Even our guests couldn’t stop raving about how she managed to keep an Indian wedding running on time (a miracle in itself!) and how seamlessly every detail came together.
Chandani is an expert in big fat Indian weddings—no task is too big or too complicated for her. And trust me, I tested that by wanting to bring in a traditional banana leaf–style thali lunch after our wedding ceremony. She coordinated it all flawlessly. Along the way, she didn’t just become our planner—she became a truly lovely friend. Hire her - you won't regret it! -

Chandani is the GOAT
Hiring Chandani was the best decision me and my fiancé made when beginning the wedding planning process - she was able to create a vision I didn't even know existed with guests leaving our wedding with the words "magical", "fairytale" and "breath-taking". I was the bride who didn't have a clue and she was the perfect leader with all the professionalism, creativity and genuine kindness who eased all the stress that can go into a wedding. Additionally, all the vendors she suggested are just as gifted as she is!
Chandani is not only the one you want to plan your wedding, she is the genuine human who became a suito member of the family! I will sing her and her wonderful team's praises for years to come 🙌! As cliche as it sounds, she's truly the best. Just hire her, you'll be so glad you did! -

Best Wedding Planner!
We had an amazing experience working with Chandani and her team, and can’t recommend her enough! From the very beginning, she was organized, attentive, and truly understood our vision. She was always available, and we really appreciated her flexibility and willingness to adapt to our changing schedules. So many of our family members, friends, and guests kept telling us how well-coordinated the wedding was, from the smooth transitions to everything running perfectly on time. She made sure everyone knew exactly where to be and when. Her vendor recommendations were perfect, and she coordinated with them really well. She would even think of small details we would’ve missed, which helped make the day feel extra special and thoughtful. Thanks to her, our wedding day was stress-free and unforgettable! -

Truly the best weekend of my life!
My husband and I were doing cross country long distance and I was in school, but Chandani made meetings work with our hectic schedules. She did a lot of research to help us find the perfect vendors and made sure all of our questions were answered. The planning process can be daunting but she broke it down into manageable chunks. Her team on the day of was professional and ran the day like a well oiled machine. Choosing your wedding planner is one of the most important decisions you can make and I’m so glad we found Chandani! -

Chandani is amazing-would highly recommend!
We worked with Chandani for one year to plan our wedding and a second reception. She is amazing-her vendor recommendations were all excellent, and she helped us coordinate all of the details to make our dream wedding come through. She has great creative ideas and is very organized and responsive. She has a ton of experience and you can tell when working with her. Would highly recommend Chandani! -

The absolute best decision I made
I don’t know how to put into words just how incredible Chandani “Events by C” and her team were in the entire planning process of my wedding. From the moment we initially connected via phone, I knew Chandani would be my wedding planner. I had interviewed several being the OVD bride I was. Her bubbly personality, communicative style, I truly had no doubt that I wanted her along side me for the most important weekend of my life thus far. I will be the first to admit that I was not an easy going bride by any means … I was extremely particular in every single thing I wanted and didn’t want. She was there every step of the way to offer suggestions, compromises based on our budget etc. From the very first conversation Chandani took my vision and truly made it happen. She provided vendors that she knew I would love (truly don’t know how she does this). She always gave her recommendations but still allowed me to make my own decisions yet guided me in the right direction as she knew what I would and wouldn’t like. On the weekend of our wedding, Chandani and her team not only executed every single detail to perfection, she truly made me and my family so at ease we were able to enjoy every single minute of the weekend. The planning process was very stressful for me but everytime I felt overwhelmed she was there to talk me down via email, text or call and assure me that she had everything under control… which she absolutely did. Beyond being our wedding planner, I truly feel like I’ve gained a beautiful friend for life. Chandani is one of the most kind hearted, funny, organized, detailed oriented and experienced wedding planners I had the pleasure of working with. Our entire wedding weekend was absolutely perfect and it is all thanks to her and her incredible team. -

Couldn't have done it without them!
Working with Chandani and the Events by C team was such a great decision! We could not have pulled off our dream wedding without them. They dealt with all behind the scenes issues and conflicts, before and during the wedding events, and helped us make excellent choices when it came to our vendors. We're so thankful that we had them to support us during the selection process and that they really understood our vision.
Chandani and the team made sure we got what we wanted during the entire wedding. Even if it was something inconvenient, like moving a whole crowd to take a picture at a different location, they made sure to make it happen. They ensured we got to try our food, and have our favorite drinks with us at all times. It really made the day special and enjoyable for us!
During the actual wedding events, the team helped us stick to timelines and they dealt with all vendor hiccups. We actually had quite a few issues with our vendors, but to the guests and us, it was a seamless experience and we found out after the fact. We are so grateful that they were there to help us through all the wedding events so that our families and we could enjoy all our events! It was truly a memorable experience! -

Professional, Hardworking, Trusting and Reliable
When my husband and I initially started planning our wedding (in 2019), I knew a planner was something I definitely wanted to assist us with the process, since we were planning a wedding across country. I remember the first time we spoke to Chandani over the phone and as we were interviewing her, some things that really stuck out to me were her positive attitude, energy and her willingness to go above and beyond. These traits were also consistent throughout our whole entire wedding planning process and trust me when I say, I wouldn't have gotten through wedding planning without her.
I was a very hands on bride and wanted to be involved in every step of the way, Chandani did an excellent job communicating with us and beyond us, our family members as well. Obviously COVID was a huge obstacle for us but besides that, the 5 months leading up to our wedding were horrible; my HMUA dropped her contract 3 months before my wedding, the borders were closed to Indian residents (one set of parents live in India), our wedding potentially being postponed a second time and the COVID gathering restrictions in Virginia. We honestly didn't know if our wedding was going to occur until a month prior, but through it all Chandani was our savior. She was readily available for us and our families at any given time of the day, she continuously worked with all of our vendors to update them on our situation and she worked with us in creating alternative plans. WELL, THE WEDDING FINALLY OCCURRED ON JUNE 20TH, 2021. Chandani and her team were so timely, organized, efficient and everything went down seamlessly. Even if there were issues (what Indian wedding doesn't have mishaps?! lol). As a bride, I was not aware of them and for that I really appreciated Chandani and the team. I would also like to point out, we were ahead of our timeline schedule by 5 mins, again what Indian wedding is AHEAD of the schedule let alone on time?! Even though our wedding was now almost 6 months ago, Chandani is still just as helpful in following up with vendors to make sure we received our pictures and video in a timely manner.-

Commending the communication of Ashley
I am writing from the perspective of a family member of the groom. This past weekend Ashley, Chandani, and Brittany coordinated my brothers' wedding. It went really well! Mad props to Ashley for her kindness and professionalism. She volunteered to text me information on where to be and when (for photos, intros, etc.). This helped me so much throughout the evening as otherwise it would have been difficult to communicate given the sea of people at the venue. Thank you, Ashley, for your impeccable communication skills and I will recommend Events by C to future couples! -

The loveliest coordinator you can get!
Chandani, and her team, were lovely to work with. As other reviewers have mentioned, the hallmark of Events by C is in the demeanor of each person: cool, calm, and collected, even in the most stressful of times Chandani and her team can manage any situation with a smile on their faces. Chandani is also well-connected to the vendors in the DC region, making the booking process streamlined for any busy couple. We would highly recommend her in the future and can’t wait to book many more events with her :)

Life Savers
We had Chandani hop onto our wedding planning the month of our wedding. It goes without saying that Chandani and the team are very organized. They do weddings, they have to be. But the best part about Chandani is her calm nature when it comes to very stressful situations. I like to think that we were a very organized couple, but come game time, all that could go wrong, went wrong.
At our Mehndi, the caterer showed up 2 hours late, with the wrong food, no serving ware, and no staff. Chandani and team made the best of it. It also helped to have her team at an event hosted at home, because there were good a large number of DIY elements that the team needed to put out. At our wedding, the officiant showed up a full hour late, and it rained all day when we were supposed to have a 1.5 hour cocktail hour all outside. Let’s just say thank God we had Chandani and team. Things would have been extremely mismanaged and chaotic if they hadn’t had a pulse over the whole thing.
A few suggestions when working for Chandani, or any planner for that matter. There are a lot of details in your wedding. If you don’t stress the importance of those details, your planner won’t know. Also, remember to have a game plan for all vendors that show up late. If you’re having a Brown wedding, it’s inevitable that someone is late.

Events by C will bring your vision to life!
We were clueless on how to start planning our wedding and executing what was important to us (and our families) so that there was a good balance for everything needed in an Indian wedding in our short time frame. Enter our Super Heroine Chandani. Probably one of the most special human beings ever, really! She is intelligent, quick witted, organized, knowledgeable and knows her away around the industry, patient, consistently maintains a good composure (even when communicating complicated and serious matter) and most important of all is respectful no matter what your idea is (even when they may be far fetched). The three of us got along really well and I don't think that would have been possible if she wasn't a good, reasonable and hard working person. We saw that instantly in her and she really helped bring our dream wedding into our real world within only 4 months! Yes, you read that right, we were on a time crunch and she had the confidence from the very first communication until the last that she could make this happen...and she did. We worked as a team and sometimes as a family too and that made her involvement in this special time of our life that much more meaningful. I couldn't recommend Events by C more to anyone trying to plan a special event in their life. -

Wedding Vision Fulfilled!
“Elegant. Fun. Thoughtful. Interactive.” These were the words that came to our mind when we were brainstorming how we would want guests to describe our wedding weekend. Not only did guests use these words afterwards to describe our wedding, they also added in a word that we didn’t expect: “Perfect”. “Perfect” is thanks to Chandani and her amazing team at Events by C!
The first time I spoke with Chandani was as she was getting ready to board a flight to India for a funeral. She was so professional and easy-going. She went out of her way to schedule a phone call with me and my then fiancé while she was in India so we could see if she was a good fit. We were so amazed at how responsive she was with everything she had going on. She and her team would respond to emails and texts at all hours of the day, and always find ways to reassure us when obstacles came up.
In the last few months before the wedding, we decided to add on a lot more items for our guests, such as a fortune teller, caricature artist, etc. Instead of being upset at the last minute requests or charging more fees, Chandani was so supportive and made all of our requests happen. She is also very mindful of budgets and did a far better job of keeping costs in mind than we even did!
Chandani is super organized with a meticulously kept Google folder for each couple and her timeline planning factored in potential delays so that when these delays did arise, guests were happily clueless and we didn’t even realize it until after the fact. We entered our wedding weekend to happily see everything we had been planning for months turn into a reality, with the Events by C team at our side guiding us where to go and when. And, unlike many of our married friends, we got to try almost all the food we had carefully picked during the wedding and didn’t starve because Chandani and her team made sure to give us breaks to break away and eat or would bring food to us.
Most importantly, Chandani is very sincere, sweet and respectful of not just the couple but also their families. When non-wedding issues came up in our personal lives that disrupted wedding planning over the course of a few months, she would reach out and offer to meet with us, grab coffee just to talk and give us space from wedding planning when we needed it.
Thank you for making our wedding planning so fun and for making our wedding weekend so special for us, Chandani and the Events by C team! We miss you and wish we could have you plan everything else in our lives too!-

Amazing! :)
So I reached out to C once I saw her instagram, but as soon as I talked to her, I knew I had to book her. She was super sweet and very patient as well. She was super flexible with how I wanted everything, and at the same time, she made sure I was on top of my to-do list as well. Even on the day of the event, I was so glad to have her. She made sure I was comfortable and everything ran smoothly. She took care of everything! Our parents loved her too since she was able to explain everything in Gujarati to them! I am definitely recommending her to all our friends getting married! Thank you again Chandani for everything!! You're the best! -

Professional, Punctual, Great Personality
Chandani and her team were excellent and went above and beyond to make sure my husband and I were taken care of the wedding weekend. Prior to the wedding weekend coordination, Chandani went beyond her contract to help me with contracts, timelines, invitations, formatting, editing, and truly gave her sound recommendation based on her experiences. She is such a sweet person and I felt like our personalities clicked. I won't forget when I was very stressed out during the process, she had asked if we should get Starbucks so I could vent as well as discuss fun things about the wedding process. She was very responsive and made sure if we had any questions or concerns she addressed them asap. She is very busy but she never says no to small things you ask of her to help you with and I truly appreciated her for that. She and her team are truly the backbone you need during the wedding process as they are 10 steps ahead of you during the whole process. You will not have to worry about the small details, coordinating, and timeliness of the wedding weekend as it will be 110% taken care of. My guests keep commenting on how smooth the whole weekend was and how there were no pauses. It truly ran exactly the way she outlines the timeline. Thank you Chandani and team for everything you have done to make my weekend successful :)! -

The perfect pilot for your chosen destination - professional, fun, and focused on your vision!
If you are looking for a thoughtful and effortless wedding planning experience, Chandani and her amazing team at Events by C is the easiest choice you could possibly make. After our first phone meeting, we could tell that she had an immense depth of experience and knowledge, all tucked away beneath an easy-going and professional demeanor that is a pleasure to work with. Chandani is an advocate for her couples and works tirelessly to bring your vision to life, so it is unsurprising that her portfolio includes such a wide array of wedding looks.
We had a multi-ceremony (Bengali and Tamil Iyer), multi-event Hindu wedding, and Chandani's facility with the intricacies of South Asian weddings, and the different traditions of different regions, was such an asset. From logistics and practical considerations (how to keep the sambar hot? where to store the cheese tower?) to managing myriad fantastic vendors (where to place the traditional swing? how can we have a killer dance floor?) to keeping everything organized in a labyrinth of spreadsheets and Pinterest boards (what's a reasonable budget allocation? do our guest counts line up with venue capacity?). We also wanted to incorporate several details into the day and Chandani's team took care of everything on the list - when we entered our wedding, we saw it all just as we envisioned.
The hardest part of working with Chandani and her team is, when the journey comes to a close, returning to the uncertain world of adulting without your trusty cruise director! Consistent with our travel theme, Chandani is the pilot you always wanted - you can't always see how all the sausage gets made, but can easily trust that everything is under control. We are so grateful to have worked with Chandani and her amazing team and wholeheartedly recommend her. Although there are many tough decisions along the way when planning a wedding, this isn't one of them :) -

I knew if I ever got married I would want a wedding planner, I'm so glad I randomly came across Chandani's website! She put my mind at ease and pretty much handled everything for me. If I ever needed something I would just call/text/email and I would get a response. Indian weddings have so much planning and so many details, it felt so good that I didn't have to worry about anything. I live in San Francisco, my vendors were from literally all over the country and my wedding was in Iowa and she handled everything like a pro! She was so fun to be around and so easy to talk to, exactly what you need in a wedding planner. Her team was also just as great! -

From our first talk, I knew booking Chandani was going to be a great decision. We all know that sometimes Indian people aren't the most punctual/easiest to direct. However, Chandani was somehow able to make that magic happen! She helped us organize everything - from sorting contracts, making sure our payments were taken care of, setting up our handmade decor, laying out a detailed itinerary shared with all necessary parties, & making sure my new hubby and I spent some quiet time alone on our busy day! They even helped us include our little dog within our events! She was always responsive, very punctual, and so flexible with our busy schedules. Honestly, I could easily say that because of them - my husband & I didn't stress at all. We were able to thoroughly enjoy every event! I cannot thank you guys enough for that!! <3
Her & her team were very professional and so knowledgeable about the tiniest, yet important, details - like how to help us secure particular hotel rooms to capture photos I wanted, or even setting aside time to say hi to my parents. They worked like crazy not only for both of us, but for our families & our wedding party as well. They helped our families pass out gifts in an organized manner at the reception, ensure that our grandparents had the best view, & even made sure my bridesmaids and I had coffee the morning of! My husband and I were well taken care of during the entire day - we joked that her team were kind of like our CIA security guards, & we felt like Mr. and Mrs. President of the day (haha). They saved us from distractions, hydrated us when we needed, and even made sure we got seconds of our cake, w/the team on deck for touch up lipstick after cake. It was incredible. At the end of the day, C & her team were honestly the reason our wedding was so smooth. We were SO impressed by them, & cannot thank them enough for what they did. We recommend C & her team a million percent!!! Love you guys so much. Thank you for making our day so special!-

Working with Events By C (Chandani) was a pleasure from the very start! I honestly can't believe the journey is over, but I'll always value everything they brought along the journey! If you're reading this, and you're about to start the journey to the big day...don't hesitate, reach out to Chandani, and she'll have things coordinated that you weren't even aware of. Both my wife and I were extremely happy with Events By C, they not only greatly reduce the stress along the way, but we were actually able to enjoy the day thanks to their outstanding work. I don't think it's possible to express enough gratitude! -

Chandani and her team did an amazing, professional job! I knew Chandani before she started events by C but was impartial during our vendor selection and Events by C really was the best package. We were floored by the attentiveness and responsiveness of each and every team member the day of the wedding and had some great preparation sessions leading up to the big day. I can honestly say my nerves were calm throughout the day regarding scheduling and anything I turned over to the Events by C team. -

If you want your event to go flawlessly, book this team. From day one of planning, till well after our wedding, Chandani and her team were readily available, and extremely easy to be open and honest with about anything and everything we wanted. On the day of the wedding, I can't express how amazing they were- so accommodating, patient, and detail oriented. Highly recommended! -

We hired Chandani as our Day of Planner, and it was the BEST decision we made! She was integral in making our wedding day so successful. As somewhat of a last minute decision, we decided to hire a day of planner. We weren't sure if we needed one because we had already had most of our vendors in place. However, after realizing how much stress Chandani and her team took away from my husband and I and our families, if I could go back in time, I would’ve hired her as my full wedding planner. Chandani is amazing! Although we only hired her for day of coordination, she made her services available to us six weeks in advance, which was a huge help. She helped us create timelines for our wedding and reception and worked with all the vendors in making sure things ran on time. On the day of the wedding, Chandani and her team worked tirelessly from early morning till 2AM the next day, with a smile on their faces the whole time. Her hard work was even recognized by our close family and friends who complimented Chandani and her team on working so hard and making sure everything went smoothly on our wedding day. From the smallest of tasks to and large problems Chandani and her team were there to help. This saved us and our families from a lot of stress and allowed us all to truly enjoy our day. We strongly recommend Chandani as a wedding planner, her experience, spirit and great team were an integral part of us enjoying our day! -

I would have to say hiring Chandani as my planner was the best decision I made regarding my wedding planning. What was supposed to be a simple 2 day wedding turned into a 4 day celebration and I could not have done it without her.
Chandani handled all vendor interactions, contracts, meetings, etc with ease. She stayed on top of everything and made it easy for me and my husband to sit back and enjoy our wedding.
I couldn't have asked for a smoother wedding and it wouldn't have been possible without her. Professional, sweet and caring. She wasn't just my planner but a friend and confidant throughout.
Our families and friends were beyond happy with the turnout. Everything came together beautifully thanks to Events by C! -

Having Events by C help us plan our wedding was the best thing we could have done. Being in a long distance relationship prior to the wedding, Chandani made it a lot easier for us to get everything organized and done in a timely manner. The timelines made for the day of the wedding for each vendor were extremely helpful and Chandani was so great at keeping everyone calm and collected. Thanks Chandani! :) -

I reached out to Events by C after meeting Chandani at an expo for Indian weddings. From our first skype chat, I knew she was the right fit for our the coordination of our fusion wedding. Chandani is an absolute pleasure to work with in preparing for your wedding day. She is extremely responsive, professional, and considerate. I found her reminding me of details that I would not have thought of without her. She gives you space to enjoy your day but ensures that she is the first point of contact for any issues that may arise. I would highly recommend her services. -

Chandani was WONDERFUL! Having someone to keep on top of what needs to be done, and doesn't let anything slip. I went with the full planning package and I have to say I had a really good experience with her. My wedding was essentially planned in 4 months, and had four events ranging from 75 - 375 people. Not a small task.
Chandani had a free consultation with us where she discussed the packages available and answered our questions. She then asked us what were our top three important aspects of the wedding, which was something I liked. She recommended we prioritize these decisions before the others- We picked photography, officiant, and food. Chandani also spent the most effort in helping us get the best of these three items. She was punctual, had relationships with great vendors, and was up on current wedding trends.
Professionalism:
Chandani worked with me, my fiance, and my parents on every event. the tone of her emails/messages was always courteous and respectful even if she was under pressure. I had family members trying to change things behind my back, but Chandani always kept it focused on what I wanted. She was also good about bringing up decision-making discussions when tempers/stress levels were low. I'm an anxious person as it is, and wedding add to everyone's anxiety levels.
Day-of coordination:
She was ARMED! Chandani had a team of assistants (pre-negotiated into your contract) that were stationed in different area of the wedding, complete with radio headsets so they can stay connected. This was really helpful because I had a pretty large outdoor venue where things were far apart and needed to be coordinated. She also kept a detailed schedule of where everyone should be during the wedding day. This was hard on my family members who are used to running the show and escaping to fix a problem when they should be smiling at the camera... but was exactly what we needed. It was a smooth and successful event, all thanks to Chandani! -

Chandani was a huge help in making our wedding a great success! We hired her to help us for the "month of" wedding coordination. We had a couple of meetings with her in person as well as many email, phone call and texts as we were getting close to the wedding date. She was a major help with timelines and keeping all of our events, family and friends organized. I cannot say enough good things about Chandani. She definitely will go above and beyond to make sure you are satisfied and everything runs smoothly! We liked her so much that we recommended her to my sister-in-law and they are having her help with their wedding coordination too! -

Chandani is very professional, friendly, creative, and a joy to work with. She is very knowledgeable and is willing to help in any aspect that you need her to. She helped us by recommending vendors in the area, working with the staff at the event venue, and getting the “day of” decorating done. She kept everything on schedule, took care of any last minute emergencies, and made sure nothing was missed during the reception. Because of her, the reception was flawless….and I am still having friends say it was “a beautiful party”. Thank you so much, Chandani! You are the best. -

Chandani was AMAZING. All our friends and family had the best time at our wedding, and this is in large part thanks to Chandani. I gave her very vague, general ideas about what I wanted, and Chandani turned it into something brilliant. I wanted a fusion Sri Lankan - American wedding without much idea about what this means but Chandani was able to help out. Using her experience and contacts, she was able to create for us the perfect Sri Lankan- American wedding.
We hired her about 5 months before our wedding and opted for a partial package as we had a few vendors booked already. We felt like we received the complete package though! She was patient and reliable, and she handled absolutely everything we threw at her. We didn't notice her at all during the ceremony and reception because she was running around making sure everything went off without a hitch.
Her assistant Priyanka was super helpful on our wedding day but her other assistant seemed a bit lost at times. This didn't matter because Chandani had everything covered on her own.
We had no complaints about her leading up to the wedding and on the wedding day, and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding planner. -

Chandani of Events By C made the wedding planning process so much easier and was truly a joy to work with. She is professional, organized, hard-working, and always has a smile on her face. Throughout our wedding planning process, she really listened to our ideas and went the extra mile to try to find venues, vendors, etc. that would match our unique needs. She also juggled multiple vendors (some of which were not always easy to work with) very well and switched gears quickly to effectively handle unexpected changes and issues that arose.
Day-of coordination is an area where Chandani really shines. Thanks to her thoughtful and detailed planning, our wedding day and pre-wedding events went off beautifully. With Chandani working behind the scenes, we, our family, and bridal party were able to enjoy the wedding and our guests with minimal stress.
More than anything, Chandani really goes above and beyond to make sure every event is a success. And it really shows - our friends and family raved about her detailed preparation and flawless execution. I would highly recommend Events By C for any event - Chandani and her team will knock your socks off! -

Chandani, the Owner of "Events by C" was an absolute pleasure to work with. She was thorough and responsive, covering all bases throughout the process, to ensure that no stone was unturned on the day of the wedding. The Wedding Event was large- over 200 guests- and thus had many moving parts and vendor involvement. Chandani seamlessly pulled all of the details together so that the day went off without a hitch! I would highly recommend her services! -

We hired C for the day-of coordination. She was very calm and professional, which is was the personality we were looking for. Because of her experience in planning, she provided her opinion about our contacts, overall flow, timeline and wedding ideas in an unbiased manner.
Like every wedding there were minor bumps along the way, but she and her team did their best to diffuse the situations prior to, during, and the day after the wedding ceremony. Overall she did an excellent job and is a pleasure to work with. -

Chandani and her team were awesome! Chandani was always available to meet when asked and when we were grateful when she was able to join us on vendor meetings, because she could ask questions and point out details that we would have never realized were important. On the day of the wedding, we didn't have a care in the world, as her team handled any hiccups that occurred. We were able to just let go and bask in the happiness of our day. We received glowing reviews from attendees at the wedding and after of how great our wedding was, and how smooth everything ran, and for that we will be eternally grateful to Chandani and Events by C. -

Chandani was busy the night of our wedding reception, so Vanessa took her place but we were happy with how organized they both were. We got the day of package, which officially started 6 weeks before. It was an expensive addition to our budget (especially since our wedding already took place out of the country) but invaluable especially if you don't live where your wedding will be taking place. One of our other vendors told us about Chandani, and we're glad we got connected to her team. We kept getting comments about how smoothly our reception went and how it flowed well, which is difficult to say for most Big Fat Indian Weddings (300+ guests). If we had to do it all over again, we would definitely hire Chandani and her team! -

Consummate Professional
From the beginning of our planning discussions with Chandani to the end of our wedding celebrations, we had an excellent experience with Events by C. Chandani is a consummate professional who was always helpful, calm, and well organized. She has years of experience working in the industry and excellent contacts for all key vendors. Chandani always offered us several ideas and options, shared pros and cons, provided good feedback, and never forced us into doing something we were not comfortable with. She has her client’s best interests at heart and advocated for us as needed throughout the wedding planning process. Chandani was always available to us by phone, particularly as the wedding got closer and ensured that all details were managed beautifully. We could not have had a more perfect wedding and are so grateful to Chandani and her amazing team for all their guidance and support. -

Chandani and her team were great to work with! We originally planned for our wedding in 2020 but unfortunately had to cancel due to the pandemic. Chandani promised to offer her services whenever we decided to reschedule our event in the future. Two and a half years later she stuck by her word and help up plan the celebration of our dream! She was extremely flexible with us and helpful with planning and putting us in contact with her preferred vendors! Wedding planning is a stressful task but Events By C helped make it as smooth as possible for us! We would recommend them to anyone planning a future event! -

We found Chandani through a simple google search for south asian wedding planners and we're so glad we did! Right off the bat Chandani was extremely thorough in explaining her services and the details that she can help with. She helped us determine the package we would need which was the silver splendor package or day of coordination.
Throughout the planning process Chandani would check up on us and make sure everything was going ok even though she was not heavily involved in the planning process until 6 weeks prior to our wedding. She helped us find some vendors and was crucial in helping us finalize our timeline. 6 weeks before our wedding we had an initial consultation meeting over skype and went over details of our wedding with her. We were in constant communication in Chandani there on and she was responsive and helpful in finalizing the final details for our wedding.
We had a lot of very small details for our wedding and Chandani and her team was extremely crucial in helping execute those details. We were so on time the day of the wedding that we had extra time to take pictures and videos. We felt incredibly relaxed and enjoyed our wedding day thanks to Chandani and her team taking care of all the details flawlessly. We couldn't be happier with Chandani and her team for their hard work in making the entire wedding day so smooth and flawless. We very highly recommend Chandani and her team for help in planning your future wedding! -

Most stressful part of our wedding
I've waited almost 2 months to write this review as my now in-laws stated it was best to not say anything at all, but I feel that I need to write something so that if other people have the same experience they realize that they are not alone.
First and foremost, Chandani did not uphold her contractual obligations. I'm sure we could probably take her to small claims court because there were stated clauses that ensured monthly meetings for 1 full year prior to the wedding. We met maybe 2 or 3 times via Zoom instead of the contractually stated 12 meetings. We paid extra for a higher package that was supposed to ensure more attention, more care, and just more effort on her part.
We got married in the Chicago area, an area Chandani may be from, but as of now, if you are also in the Chicago area, or any area not near their office in Washington D.C., do not hire her.
I and my father-in-law handled all of the business ourselves. We handled the vendor contracts, the deadlines, and on site issues. Our location venue stepped up and handled the rest for us. There is no way Chandani added a single iota of benefit to our day. She was a MAJOR cause of stress and a huge waste of money.
The only bright spot was Ashley. Ashley was downright amazing and wonderful and tried to cover up Chandani's extremely rude actions. -
