The Greatest Wedding Planner of All-time!!!
From the very beginning, we knew we wanted our wedding to be more than just a weekend of events—we wanted to create an experience that reflected who we are and brought joy to all our guests. Thanks to Cheryl, Rohit, Simran, and the entire Glitzzy Events team, that dream became a reality—and truly, it was beyond anything we could have imagined.
Planning a destination wedding from Vancouver, while having no family or friends in Austin, was a daunting thought. But Cheryl made what could have been a stressful process feel seamless and even exciting. Her calm presence, creativity, and incredible organizational skills turned every challenge into an opportunity to make things even better.
Over three unforgettable days, we celebrated five events—a warm Welcome Dinner, a traditional Grah Shanti/Haldi, a vibrant Sangeet, a breathtaking Wedding ceremony, and an elegant, travel-themed Reception. Each event felt distinct, yet beautifully cohesive, thanks to Cheryl’s attention to detail and her team’s flawless execution. She not only understood our vision, but elevated it with thoughtful touches that reflected our personalities and cultures. From decor and food to vendor coordination and timing, everything ran like clockwork.
Throughout the planning journey, Cheryl was more than our planner—she was our guide, confidant, and at times, our superhero. She navigated the emotions of wedding planning with empathy, supported us through our ups and downs, and always ensured we felt heard and cared for. Her communication and commitment gave us peace of mind every step of the way.
Our guests flew in from across the U.S., Canada, and even Belgium, and days later, we were still receiving messages like, “I haven’t danced like this in decades,” and “This was the best wedding I’ve ever been to.” Hearing that from the people we love most was the ultimate gift, and it’s all thanks to the hard work and passion of the Glitzzy team.
Cheryl and Rohit started out as our wedding planners—but by the end, they became our family. We cannot recommend Glitzzy Events highly enough to anyone looking for a truly special and unforgettable wedding experience.
WE LOVE GLITZZY! ❤️-

Best Planner for Austin Area Couples
We had our Telugu wedding in Austin in December 2025, and working with Cheryl over the 14 months leading up to it was one of the best decisions we made. From day one, she was incredibly communicative, organized, and genuinely invested in making our vision come to life. Planning an Indian wedding can be complex, but Cheryl’s experience really showed. She always had thoughtful suggestions, helped us navigate vendor decisions, and made the entire process feel so much more manageable.
One thing that really stood out was how highly all of our vendors spoke about Cheryl and her team. It gave us so much confidence knowing we were in such good hands. Rohit was also amazing during the wedding week. He was so hands-on and always around when we needed anything. From early mornings to late nights, the team was there for whatever came up, big or small.
Cheryl was not just a planner, but a true partner throughout this journey. We genuinely couldn’t have pulled off such a seamless and beautiful celebration without Cheryl, Rohit, and the Glitzzy Events team. So grateful for them! -

Best Wedding Coordination Team!!!
We could not have chosen a better wedding coordination team than Glitzzy Events. Cheryl did a stellar job of leading the show, ensuring we had regularly scheduled meetings and openly sharing her valuable ideas/opinions based on her extensive experience in the industry. Simran and Rohit remained supportive and helpful throughout the process, actively participating in the meetings and assisting with brainstorming solutions to potential obstacles. We particularly appreciated that they understood important cultural elements of a good Indian wedding. On our wedding day, they ensured everything was organized and timely, running the entire operation seamlessly. They were quick to help out as needed, including for spontaneous/unexpected assistance that was required. We received feedback from several family and friends (in attendance and those watching through live stream) that our wedding was very well-planned: This would not have been possible without the professional coordination by Glitzzy Events. The cherry on top was that they did it all with a warm, friendly smile on their face and a positive attitude. We are grateful for the magical day they helped create for us and wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone seeking an amazing team of wedding coordinators!! -

Can't recommend enough!
I can’t say enough great things about the team at Glitzzy Events & specifically, Cheryl Fernandes. When I set out to find a wedding planner, I had a vision for my wedding, but didn’t have any idea of where to start. Neither my husband nor I live in Austin, so we wanted a full-service planner who could take care of every detail — and that’s exactly what Cheryl did. She took into consideration both me and my husband’s preferences and was able to seamlessly integrate our family’s desires with ease, architecting one of the best days of our lives.
The day before our wedding, we made a last minute change to indoors because of the heat and Cheryl was a lifesaver. She went above and beyond to make sure that the indoor change still fit our initial vision. Our ceremony was on time, concise and a beautiful blend of both of our cultures, which is what we set out to achieve. I can't tell you how many compliments we got about our wedding from our guests.
If you want a personalized planner who will treat you like family, you’ve found her. Choosing Cheryl and her team was one of the best decisions we made through the entire wedding process. -

Our Wedding’s Secret Ingredient: Glitzzy
We first heard Cheryl’s name while touring venues; it kept coming up with glowing praise and now we know why! Hiring Cheryl about ten months before our wedding (before we even had a set date) was the single best decision of our wedding journey.
We had an Indian American fusion wedding, and Cheryl embraced both cultures with incredible thoughtfulness. She was well-versed in the Punjabi traditions we wanted to include, while also spending time with the non-Indian side of our families to make sure they felt comfortable and confident with the customs. Our guests kept saying it was the best wedding they’d ever attended and were amazed at the details, the unique extras, and how seamlessly everything flowed. That’s all thanks to Cheryl and the Glitzzy team. Cheryl kept us on track during weekly calls, was always available when we needed guidance, and encouraged us to think outside the box to create a wedding that truly felt like us.
But what makes Cheryl truly extraordinary is everything she does beyond the standard planner checklist. She carefully reviewed and even negotiated contracts on our behalf, offered style and outfit advice that made us feel confident and camera-ready, and suggested fun, on-trend extras that elevated the entire experience. She coordinated extra assistants to support our families, and guided us through catering and bar planning down to portions and liquor math. Cheryl joined every vendor call so we always had an advocate in the room, and she provided steady emotional support that kept us joyful instead of stressed. She even reviewed speeches and skits, cheered us on every step of the way, and came up with creative last-minute solutions when rain threatened our plans.
More than a planner, Cheryl was our cheerleader, problem-solver, and protector of our joy. Cheryl and Rohit have become family, and they truly are incredible at what they do.-

Amazing Glitzzy Wedding!
We worked with Glitzzy Events for full planning of our Sangeet, Hindu ceremony, Western ceremony and reception, and we can honestly say that working with Cheryl was one of the best decisions we made throughout the entire process. From day one, she brought an energy that was both calming and confident—exactly what we needed as we navigated such a big moment in our lives.
She was by our side every step of the way, setting up weekly planning calls, coordinating with vendors, and giving us thoughtful advice that always felt tailored to us. Anytime we found ourselves stuck between decisions or had differing opinions, her recommendations consistently turned out to be exactly what we needed—creative, elegant, and well-executed.
What really stood out was how thorough and relentless she was in making sure everything ran smoothly, down to the smallest detail. She didn’t miss a beat, and because of her, we were able to be fully present and truly enjoy our wedding weekend without stress. And it was not just us, our parents could sit back and be fully present the whole weekend too.
Our wedding weekend turned out better than we could have imagined—joyful, beautiful, and seamless. We’re incredibly grateful for her guidance, care, and expertise. If you’re planning a wedding and want someone who genuinely cares, Glitzzy Events is who you want by your side. -

Our only regret is that we didn't find Cheryl sooner
We honestly can’t praise Cheryl at Glitzzy Events enough! When our original planner fell through just three weeks before the wedding, we were completely panicked—then Cheryl swooped in and took charge. From our very first call, she was the picture of professionalism: always on time, obsessively detail-oriented, and brimming with creative fixes. She coordinated every vendor down to the tiniest detail, and made sure nothing slipped through the cracks—while keeping us constantly updated with lightning-fast replies.
Rohit—Cheryl’s husband—was our behind-the-scenes hero, tackling logistics, troubleshooting every bump in the road, and ensuring our timeline never wavered. Their teamwork made everything feel effortless. And Simran deserves a special shout-out: her flawless organization, and rapid responses kept us calm and confident throughout the weekend. We couldn’t have asked for a more talented, professional, and delightful trio to bring our vision to life! -

Cheryl Made Our Dream Wedding a Reality
We truly cannot say enough about how incredible Cheryl and the Glitzzy Events team were in making our dream wedding a reality. From the very beginning, Cheryl felt more like a trusted advisor and family member than just a planner — someone who cared deeply about the outcome, the experience, and our ability to be present for the most meaningful moments of our lives.
Our wedding was a fusion of Gujarati and Punjabi cultures, and Cheryl handled it with deep cultural understanding and with attention to detail. She ensured both families’ traditions and preferences were honored in ways that felt authentic, inclusive, and full of heart. This is not an easy task — balancing two families, multiple events, and generations of expectations — and yet, Cheryl made it all feel seamless.
Each of our three unique venues — our home for the haldi, Villa at the Vineyard for the sangeet, and Canyonwood Ridge for the wedding and reception — had its own vibe, needs, and logistical challenges. Cheryl offered invaluable input for each space and executed every single event to perfection. The haldi at home felt warm, vibrant, and intimate. The sangeet was amazing ranging from custom decor, amazing music and food. And the wedding and reception were nothing short of magical. Every detail was intentional and stunning.
One of Cheryl’s greatest strengths is her vendor network. Every single vendor she recommended was phenomenal — talented, professional, and kind. We quickly realized that as long as we trusted her suggestions, we were in the best possible hands. From décor to photography to catering to music, each vendor elevated the experience and worked together seamlessly — a direct result of Cheryl’s experience and relationships.
We had guests fly in from India and all over the world, and time and time again we heard the same thing from them: this was the best wedding they have ever attended in the United States. To hear that from guests who have attended countless weddings — many of them elaborate and large — was the ultimate compliment. The entire weekend was unforgettable, and it’s truly all thanks to Cheryl.
What truly sets Cheryl apart is her calm presence and her ability to make everyone feel taken care of. Every time we felt overwhelmed, she was there to handle it. Every little hiccup (and there were a few!) was dealt with before we even had to worry. We were actually able to enjoy our wedding weekend because we trusted Cheryl and her team completely.
If you are even considering hiring Cheryl — do it! It will be the single best decision you make. She is the secret ingredient to a flawless, heartfelt, unforgettable celebration.-

Best Planners Ever!
Cheryl, Rohit, and Simran are such amazing planners. We hired them in the middle of our planning, just four months out from the wedding. We had tons of open tasks and many unfinished decisions to make. Cheryl’s project management skills were invaluable, not only for getting things done but also for keeping us organized and helping reduce our stress.
Cheryl, Rohit, and Simran are a wonderful team to have by your side. They’re always honest and caring, and they genuinely want the best for you. It wasn’t just the planning leading up to the event that was superb; on the day of, they were on top of things. I was truly never aware of any hiccups or mishaps; they would simply fix issues before they became problems.
If you want a team who dots every 'i' and crosses every 't', if you want a team who will keep you accountable for all the tasks that need to be done, and if you want a team who genuinely cares about you and your family’s experience every step of the way, hire Cheryl, Rohit, and Simran. -

Flawless execution!
We hired Cheryl for our Gujarati wedding in Austin in April 2025, and cannot recommend her highly enough. For about one year leading up to the wedding, we would have nearly weekly meetings with Cheryl, during which she asked us about our vision for each event and connected us with vendors that matched our price range and needs. She kept us on track during each meeting, and then even met us in person in Austin a few times as well as in Houston a few times for food tasting. Her ability to serve as an intermediary between all of the different parties involved in the planning of an Indian wedding — the vendors, parents, couple, venue staff, Priest, among others - is an amazing skill. Her other team members - Juhi and Simran - were also amazing and incredibly helpful. The execution of the events went extremely smoothly, thanks to Cheryl’s presence. Many of our guests were shocked at how on time every event was (especially for an Indian wedding!) and that was entirely due to Cheryl’s meticulous planning and execution the day of! -

Cheryl & Glitzzy Events Team are Truly a Gift to the World!
Many people don’t look back on their wedding day and think of one of their fond memories to be their wedding planner, but thats likely because they did not work with Cheryl Fernandes. Cheryl’s Glitzzy Events came recommended to me by my wedding venue - Camp Lucy, and I still feel so fortunate for that connection. From the moment we started planning, Cheryl brought a calm confidence that immediately put me at ease. While she’s no stranger to Indian fusion weddings, this was her first time planning a Zoroastrian ceremony, and you would never know it. She took the time to understand every detail, asked thoughtful questions, and approached the traditions with the kind of care and respect that meant so much to me and my family.
What really set Cheryl apart was how deeply invested she was, not just in the logistics, but in protecting me and my experience as a bride. She advocated for me, shielded me from stress, and made sure everything ran smoothly behind the scenes so I could truly be present. Some of the moments where she challenged me to think bigger were some of the ideas I’m most proud of from this wedding weekend. She seamlessly brought together everything I had imagined—from the quirky spirit of Austin, Texas and the richness of Persian and Indian traditions to the tropical energy of our welcome party and a hint of Italian romance—into one unforgettable wedding weekend!
On my wedding day, in the midst of all she had on her plate, she still had time to give me heartfelt advice before I walked down the aisle which made it like I had a family member by my side, not just a planner. I always knew my wedding night would end with me saying “I love you” to my husband, but I never thought I’d conclude the night saying the same line to my wedding planner. Cheryl is truly a gift to the world and I am fortunate to have had this experience with her and Glitzzy Events. -

A big 5/5 stars for Cheryl and the entire Glitzzy Team
There are not enough words to describe how key Cheryl and the entire Glitzzy Team was to making our big day smooth, flawless, and extremely meaningful and personal. I found their wedding planning services online shortly after getting engaged. For us, having a wedding planner was an absolute must given our guest count and wedding that would incorporate a fusion of cultures. It was very quickly apparent after meeting with various event planners and then after meeting Cheryl, that there was something professional and different about Cheryl and her team, and boy was I spot on. She understood my vision and needs almost instinctively.
From Day 1 of planning, Cheryl went above and beyond for us in almost every way. She was organized, efficient, honest, straightforward, had a artsy eye with a similar taste in decor as me and my vision, and had all the connections with immense experience in the San Antonio wedding industry to start planning the perfect day for us. Cheryl and the rest of her team are minted professionals, who were able to anticipate not only my husband and I’s every need along the way, but also our family’s. Cheryl got on the phone countless times with my father to discuss budgeting, costs, various open bar packages with our venues, etc. – these were long conversations that went beyond our planning meetings. She worked closely with my mother-in-law (also separately from our planning meetings) to plan our welcome party the night prior to the big day. She knew exactly how to ensure we chose vendors who would be the right fit for us and frequently vetted vendors we were looking for within our budget, frequently connecting with them over the phone multiple times to get us the right deals and packages, and then to plan and coordinate with them. Every crisis along the way also handled was such poise, professionalism, and urgency by Cheryl and her team. When our hotel block portal online wasn’t working for any guests, Cheryl jumped in. When we were struggling to pick a bar package, Cheryl allowed us to talk it out over and over again in every which way with her to brainstorm together. 3 days before the wedding, when I received an unexpected call from our decorating team requesting things that were new to me, had not been discussed previously, and were not part of our budget (as I was actively on the way to a photoshoot with my husband and had wedding festivity events about to already begin), Cheryl literally told me ‘don’t worry about any of it, go enjoy your photoshoot, I’ll take care of this’ and she absolutely 100% did. I was able to enjoy quality time and special moments with my family that day and that week leading up to the big day, those who had flown from all over just for our wedding weekend, which I otherwise wouldn’t have had. The best part of working with Cheryl and her team is that this won’t just be ‘another event’ for her. She and her team care so deeply about the work they do and have such passion to make quality events happen. Planning our event was obviously a personal journey for us and our families, but it felt from the start that it was also really personal for Cheryl and Rohit as well. Lastly, I didn’t realize it until after the fact, but our vendor list was absolutely stacked with simply the best, most artistic professionals to bring our vision to life. Almost every important vendor came hand picked and recommended by Cheryl – this helped immensely as the vendor hunt is overwhelming to navigate and the day of was so smooth thanks to our carefully picked vendors as recommended by Cheryl.
Finally, the day of felt like a dream for me, my husband, and both our parents. Each puzzle piece, each event, was so smooth, so flawless, I almost literally couldn’t believe it. I would walk into each event after getting hair and makeup done for hours, wondering how things would turn out. And I was just speechless and floored every time and every event when I walked through the doors to see how amazing everything looked and how smoothly things were running. SO MANY GUESTS left the event saying things like: “I’ve never been to a wedding this organized and beautiful before.” “This is literally the BEST wedding I’ve been to.” "Who was your planner??! I need to connect with her for our wedding." And the best, most important part of all of this, was that my husband and I were truly able to enjoy our wedding day and really maximize the time we spent with our loved ones. Without Cheryl and her team, that would not have been possible, and we are eternally grateful for this.
If you are on the fence trying to decide on an event planner, Glitzzy will absolutely NOT disappoint – they are the SINGLE MUST HAVE vendor for your big day and for the planning along the way. Glitzzy Events is the secret to planning a beautiful event, no matter the size or budget, in southern Texas. -

The Best Wedding Planner
We brought in Cheryl and Glitzzy events when we were midway preparing for our daughter's wedding. We can't thank her and her team enough for making the wedding functions an absolute success. She and her team are a delight to work with. She brought incredible expertise along with a very calm demeanor that was reflected across her entire team. Her knowledge of the intricacies of Indian weddings, her keen and creative eye for decor, relationships with vendors, combined with flawless planning and execution were invaluable to us. Most importantly, she listens. She heard our daughter's vision for her wedding and converted that vision into a beautiful wedding while managing to the budget. While planning, she was practical on what would work, what was a must-do, and areas where we could cut down. During the functions, she and her team worked tirelessly behind the scenes ensuring all events went smoothly. She came up with last minute solutions and took care of them with her signature calm smile. For example, creatively getting the hanging floral arrangements tied down when there was a gusty wind blowing during the ceremony, finding a quick solution for the havan (that would not stay lit due to the unprecedented wind), removing makeup stains from the father of the bride’s clothes, fixing the bride's jewelry that broke as she was getting dressed. Most importantly, we felt Cheryl and her team were personally vested in making the wedding a success every step of the way. -

We love Cheryl!!
Cheryl was our planner for our April 2024, 350 person, Gujarati wedding, and as my father said many times throughout the planning process, “Hiring Cheryl was the best decision we made!” Cheryl has a deep understanding of how a traditional Gujarati wedding should run, so our wedding felt like it went off without a hitch! She has great vendor recommendations and has a good understanding of the Central Texas wedding landscape. We loved everyone she connected us with. She was mindful of our budget and never pushed us to spend more than we were comfortable with. We don’t live in Texas, so she was our boots on the ground and always made herself available to us when we would visit Texas for planning. The best thing about Cheryl and her husband Rohit is that they ultimately felt like family to us. We and our parents felt that Cheryl and Rohit actually cared about us and we weren’t just another “client”. Our moms trusted Cheryl and listened to her, which was huge for us when trying to negotiate location, guest list size, vendors etc with our parents. Cheryl was the best teammate and friend while planning our wedding and we were very thankful to have her! -

We love Cheryl!
My husband and I, along with our families, honestly can’t thank Cheryl enough for everything she did to make our wedding week a success! She took everything we dreamed of straight out of our minds and nailed it better than we could imagine. Her meticulous attention to detail and dedication to ensuring our happiness were evident throughout the entire process. From curating the perfect vendors to handling every last detail, she made sure everything ran smoothly and stress-free.
Cheryl, Rohit, Simran and their team went above and beyond to keep us relaxed throughout the events. Cheryl even stepped in to help with last-minute outfit adjustments and ensuring we had a plate of food and drink in hand to enjoy during each of the festivities.
Their whole team was accommodating as well with our catering staff, who had never done an event of this caliber, walking them through the expectations and planning down to the minute. The organization of the food was a huge hit and people were shocked to hear it was their first time because of how smoothly Cheryl and Rohit handled the program.
Cheryl was super quick to respond to last minute changes and freak outs, as brides often have, with such care. The morning of my mehndi she was able to attend to a freak out of mine and get in touch with vendors for confirmations early in the morning without hesitation.
Throughout our regularly scheduled meetings, she also had some amazing ideas in all areas, from decor down to the snacks and drinks we chose, which enhanced our jungle-themed Sangeet and Italian-themed Haldi. Thanks to her quick thinking, she added a backdrop to our Haldi set up the month of the wedding that totally sold the vibe and made for some incredible photos.
Our wedding guests were equally impressed by her professionalism and organization. Every vendor Cheryl recommended was exceptional, and we're so grateful for her guidance in finding the perfect team to celebrate with us. She was so good that we are now the consultants for our friends’ upcoming weddings using tips she gave us. We're eternally grateful for Cheryl and her team's hard work and dedication!!-

Above and beyond!
When my husband and I were first looking into wedding planners for our San Antonio wedding, several friends and family members from the Austin area had recommended Cheryl. We are SO happy we chose to work with her.
From the beginning 14 months before the wedding, we had zoom meetings nearly every 2 weeks and Cheryl was organized and always on top of the details, keeping us on schedule. There are literally a MILLION tasks and vendors that we would have honestly had no idea to even think about, but Cheryl was there to help guide us, give ideas to help stay in our budget, and show examples of concepts from her extensive repertoire of weddings. As we got closer to the wedding, we had weekly meetings, and she was so flexible working around my parents, my and my husbands busy work schedules. Cheryl and her husband made several trips to San Antonio to help with food tastings, venue walk throughs and provided crucial insight in literally every step of the process.
During the week of the wedding she and her team were truly irreplaceable. I had so many family members and guests personally tell me how great a job she had done and even ask for her contact to help with planning their own events! She took care of every little stressor and unforeseen situation, and truly none of us had to lift a finger during the wedding events because she was on top of every detail- I couldn’t have dreamed of a better weekend and it’s truly all thanks to Cheryl and her team. -

The best decision you’ll make for your wedding!
No review would ever fully describe how amazing Cheryl and the Glitzzy Events team were to work with. Cheryl came to be a close friend, confidant and partner throughout the several months of wedding planning. Her expertise and experience was evident from the moment we met her and it gave us a sense of calm that she carried throughout the entire process. We knew we’d be in good hands almost immediately.
Cheryl’s reputation certainly precedes her. We were met with immediate positive reactions when we mentioned that we would likely be working with Glitzzy Events to potential wedding venues during our initial search. Many of the venues and vendors in the area know her well and it immediately put them at ease when we mentioned this.
“Oh Cheryl? Perfect, we have nothing to worry about.” - Wedding Venue Owner
Cheryl was extremely adept at understanding the vision we wanted for our wedding and knew exactly how to navigate the different, often challenging, dynamics from our parents, the wedding venues and other vendors. A critical quality you must find in a wedding planner is one that will advocate for what you want for your wedding while figuring out how to make everyone happy with the outcome. Another critical quality is that they must be accessible. Cheryl was extremely responsive throughout our entire engagement, even when both of us were traveling abroad. She set up weekly meetings (that we now miss so much) to stay on top of everything and always came prepared and gently encouraged us to make decisions.
Our first meeting with Cheryl occurred when she was traveling in Mumbai. She was kind to prioritize and make herself available across timezones to meet with us. When we mentioned our wedding dream of having a 4-day event with different locations for each day, she was probably the only person that said “Let’s do it!”. That’s when we knew we needed Cheryl to plan our wedding. She understood what it would take and we left the conversation ready to move forward.
During the wedding week, the execution by the Glitzzy Team was absolutely seamless. Cheryl, Rohit, Melissa and Simran were ready to take on each day and ensure there were no issues. We did not have to worry about anything other than showing up and enjoying our wedding. Cheryl and team took care of everything, and we know there was so much work behind the scenes that they managed. From coordinating shuttles for our guests, to ensuring venues were set up correctly, to addressing last minute requests from family, the team was extremely professional and made things happen.
We are forever grateful for Cheryl and the Glitzzy Event team. We would not have had our dream wedding without them. Thank you Cheryl, Rohit, Melissa and Simran!! We love you!

Can't Speak Highly Enough Of Glitzzy
Cheryl, Melissa, and Rohit (Glitzzy Events) are absolutely phenomenal. We can't believe how much they went over and beyond for our mixed Indian and American wedding. Just one example is how they were always willing to drive anywhere to meet with us countless times, never rushing us to any decisions. Cheryl knows everyone in the Texas wedding industry and is the go-to person for planning a big multi-day Indian wedding. She is a calming presence, helping to take all the stress away from the couple and their parents. It speaks tons that we did not have to do anything but show up on the wedding day, letting Glittzy Events handle all the coordination and logistics the week leading up. You absolutely need to go with Glitzzy for your event planning! -

Awesome experience
Cheryl was the wedding planner for daughter’s wedding in March 2024. She was a pleasure to work with and keeps her cool in any and every situation. Without her guidance in every step of the way it would been impossible. Rohit was a pleasure to work with as well. Thank you Cheryl and Rohit for all your help! You worked tirelessly with us for One whole year! Awesome team with an amazing attitude. -

Cheryl is the Best
Cheryl is the best - she is incredibly patient and knows exactly how to get a large wedding together without any stress. She is careful to listen to the families' priorities and ensures that they are fulfilled in the wedding process. Most importantly, she does a great job of putting the bride and groom at ease throughout the entire process. She also has access to world class vendors for everything you might need for a wedding. Her breadth of experience + great taste helped us get the outcome we wanted! -

Exceptional Indian Wedding Planners
We are so thankful to Cheryl and her team at Glitzzy Events for making our wedding weekend the best weekend of our lives! If you are considering Cheryl, know that you will get the most experienced, professional, fun, and hardworking planner to make the wedding planning process smooth and day-of execution flawless. We were clueless about planning a large Indian Muslim wedding and Cheryl worked with us from the very beginning to fill in the gaps. We had regular meetings and Cheryl was fully invested as if it were her own family's wedding! It made the process so enjoyable, and the whole family looked forward to wedding planning calls! The planning process was no small feat but Cheryl has an excellent process to help any couple. And she really shined through on the day of the events. Before we booked Cheryl, she told us her goal was that on the day of the wedding, both us and our parents/families/wedding parties should be fully present, be able to fully enjoy the events, and not worry at all about any planning or logistics. And she delivered! We are forever grateful for their love and effort, as we know there was no way our wedding would have gone so smoothly and been as enjoyable without them.
A few ways in which Cheryl really stood out:
1. Cheryl was like our guardian angel. When our plan for groomsmen kurtas didn't work out, she stepped up in a completely unexpected way to make sure we were able to get excellent quality, matching outfits that fit on time. This was not in her scope as a planner and shows how fully invested she is in taking care of her clients!
2. Cheryl is excellent at making a timeline and keeping things moving according to schedule which took so much pressure off of us. For example, she saved the day on our Mehendi night when one of our vendors forgot a key part of our program, but no one ever would have known because she managed everything behind the scenes! Thank you Cheryl for being so on top of it!
3. We could lean on Cheryl due to her immense experience and great judgment. There were many moments when indecision and anxiety set in, but Cheryl was always reassuring and always had a plan which we are so appreciative of. -

Glitzzy team, wonderful and family-like!
Glitzzy events LLC, is definitely not an unknown name when it comes to planning a wedding, a party of any kind or an event in central Texas. I must say this, and I feel immense happiness in saying this, that Glitzzy team exceeds their reputation and everyone’s expectation in planning, execution, and making any event go as smooth as freshly whipped cream. Cheryl, Rohit and Melissa paid diligent attention to every detail and went above and beyond to make our wedding beautiful and memorable. It is certainly possible to find many great event planners, but seldom we find people who, In addition to doing it passionately, bestow their warm and calming vibe to everything. Glitzzy team behaved with us just a like a family, while meticulously carrying out their professional duties throughout the event. In a particular incident, during the wedding events some of our stuff was forgotten in an Uber ride. I tried to contact the driver and Uber countless number of times over the next 2 days without any success. Cheryl went above and beyond to pull her contacts and resources, and miraculously located the driver and got our stuff back. That was a huge and pleasant surprise for us to receive our valuable items back. I would recommend Glitzzy events LLC to anyone and everyone, even in my sleep, without sparing a single strain of thought.-

Experienced & Connected
What we loved about working with Cheryl and her team is that they have been in the industry long enough to have made connections with most vendors in Austin and really know, not only Indian weddings but American weddings too. It was great having set meeting times knowing that the planning process was always moving. Cheryl, Rohit and their team are so kind and did a wonderful job making our day exactly what we wanted. Highly recommend, especially for any multi-cultural couples. Thank you!!-

Simply the best!
I just recently got married in Austin, TX and I loved my experience working with Glitzzy events! I first started working with Cheryl a little under a year prior to the big day and she was gracious enough to take me on as a client despite her busy schedule. I am so thankful that she did because this wedding could not have been as amazing as it was without her and the entire team!
Cheryl was excellent at keeping us on track throughout the entire planning process. She is extremely detail oriented and was constantly suggesting things that really made a huge difference in our event. Because of her many years of experience in the wedding industry, she has developed a great list of vendors that she has excellent relationships with. It was very clear that vendors would go out of there way to communicate with us and accommodate our requests just because of this long standing relationship. Regardless, she was also great at working with some new vendors that we ended up going with!
As far as day-of event coordination goes, I cannot imagine our wedding without the Glitzzy team. We had initially planned an outdoor sangeet and wedding ceremony, but had to move everything inside due to poor weather. Cheryl, Melissa, Rohit, and the team coordinated everything with our venue, were on site immediately to confirm indoor locations, and worked seamlessly with our decorator and other vendors to make the appropriate changes. Most of my guests did not even realize that the events were originally planned for the outdoors!
We loved working with Glitzzy events for my wedding! After a year of planning, it really felt like I was just meeting with family every week to put my wedding together. Cheryl, Melissa, and Rohit really put their hearts and souls into making your wedding special for you and your family! I cannot recommend this amazing team of people enough! -

Amazing! Truly exceptional.
To say we are grateful to cheryl and her husband for all they did for us is an understatement. It took this long to write a review mostly because we couldn’t quite articulate how we felt. She became more than our wedding planner and we were so grateful for the intimate, caring experience she provided. She always made us feel special and like we were her priority. We regularly were grateful to her advice and
Honest insight. She allowed us to navigate budget, desired plans and helped set appropriate expectations while staying true to what our vision was. She got to know us as a couple, and our weekly planning sessions were something we looked forward too. Love and I are both poor planners, and she allowed us to enjoy the process despite this. We regularly joked that she was way more up to date with our wedding to do list then we ever were. All her recommendations were not only great, they felt like they were unique to who we were as a couple. I could not recommend her and her team enough. -

Simply the best!!
We just got married in Austin and can’t recommend Glitzzy events highly enough! Since my husband and I live in California, we were so happy Cheryl had shortlisted a fantastic set of Austin vendors that she had personally worked with and trusted — this saved us so much time, research, and gave us priceless reassurance. Moreover, Cheryl helped with our venue selection process by giving us a list that met our needs, helping us compare/contrast different venues, and even visiting them in person for us. Cheryl’s advice was so helpful for us, given her many years of experience in the wedding industry. Glitzzy Events was truly invaluable on the day-of: we pivoted our wedding indoors because of inclement weather, and although we hadn’t discussed the indoor plan very thoroughly, Cheryl and her team nailed the execution. They fully took charge and made both our ceremony and reception go so smoothly; all we had to do was sit back and enjoy! We are so grateful for Cheryl and her team. If you have the opportunity to book with Glitzzy events for your wedding, do it— it will be one of your best decisions! -

Rishee-Mallory Wedding of March 25, 2023
Cheryl and Rohit of Glitzy Events did an outstanding job at planning, organizing and executing various events at our son's wedding in Austin, TX. They gave us guidance in accordance with the recent trends in Indian weddings in the U.S., paid attention to the details and assumed full responsibility for all aspects of the wedding events. Glitzy Events deserves a lot of credit for the wedding celebration that turned out to be a fun event for us and the guests. -

Glitzzy Events: Master Execution of Fusion Wedding!
Cheryl and the entire Glitzzy Events team were a joy to work with! Cheryl’s attention to detail, her vast experience in the wedding industry, and her people skills made the experience as low stress as it could’ve been for us, but a wild success. My husband and I had incredibly unpredictable work and school schedules and Cheryl was available to meet regularly at hours that worked for us (and was flexible if meetings needed to be rescheduled). Cheryl shined on the day of the wedding with all of the vendors working together in sync, all steps of the ceremony and reception happening on time and with all people in the know, and all questions and concerns from guests handled in real time by Cheryl and her team. Our wedding was the best day of our lives to date and Cheryl’s planning and execution were vital to that being the case. If you are looking for a warm, professional, and honest wedding planner who will execute your vision to the very last detail (and if you’re looking to meet some cool people!) then go with Glitzzy Events! -

Truly Amazing Team
It's hard to put our wedding experience with Cheryl and Rohit into one paragraph, but it really was the best decision we ever made. We started our planning with the date about 6 months out, but Cheryl was on it from Day 1. She was able to help us book vendors last minute and coordinated with everyone to make sure everything was done on the big day. She met with us once a week to answer all of our questions and was available for any other issues that arose.
I think we really saw her abilities about one month before the wedding when we started having some issues with the venue, but she quickly stepped in and made sure the day was seamless. I have heard numerous stories from people on how stressful the month prior to wedding day is and Cheryl definitely helped alleviate a lot of that. We truly didn't see Cheryl and Rohit as just a "vendor" because it felt like they really wanted the wedding to succeed as much as a family would. There are so many small details you think of as trivial but can be so vital to the actual wedding day. Cheryl and Rohit did so much work behind the scenes that we aren't even fully aware of but it shows on the execution of the actual day.
Cheryl is hard to book as she has created a niche within the desi wedding community so if you are lucky enough to book her then rest assured that you will have a wonderful experience. -

Such a smooth wedding
I could not have imagined a better wedding planner for us than Cheryl from Glitzzy Events. She is absolutely the BEST. Through the whole process, she was so patient, flexible, and dedicated so much of her time and effort in setting up a timeline and meeting with us regularly. I needed someone who could help me make all decisions, big and small and Cheryl was the perfect guide due to how confident yet calm she is. Cheryl is good at establishing relationships because of how personable she is and you can feel how much she cares for the outcomes of the events, as well as the experiences of the guests, couple, vendors, and staff. Even though it definitely was not expected of her due to how busy she must have been, she added personal touches to many things such as little decor, having signs ready and set up at events, ensuring we were fed, and other numerous things that could have easily been missed by us during the actual weekend. We enjoyed meeting her husband Rohit and the rest of the team, who were all so pleasant and helpful. I would highly recommend Cheryl!-

Dream Team!
Cheryl and Rohit with Glitzzy Events are the planners of your dreams. They have different package options that can work with different budgets and needs, their response time is very quick, they take the time to understand your wants, desires, needs, they are never pushy, have excellent vendor recommendations (for people like us who had no idea where to start, that was amazing!), and most importantly, they make it so that you have no stress the day of your wedding! I was very worried looking for a planner as a Queer Indian/White couple who would understand us as a couple and be able to help us make our dreams come true. We couldn't have asked for a a more compassionate, knowledgeable, and kind team!-

Managed every step with care and foresight
Cheryl is a must-have for any wedding in Austin! She's the right balance of detail-orientation and creativity. She LISTENS to the couple and the parents (if they are involved) and incorporates that into thoughtful suggestions and ideas for decor, vendors, food selections, dinner seating, etc. Cheryl and Rohit handled all the worrisome last-minute details so we could relax and enjoy ourselves. I highly recommend Glitzzy to anyone who's planning a wedding in Austin. -

Perfect Austin Wedding
I first met Cheryl when the bride’s mom, an Austin resident, booked her for our children’s wedding. With all of us scattered across the country, Cheryl kept us on track to ensure that every aspect of the wedding weekend would go off without a hitch. She was in contact with all the vendors to make sure that they would be there on time. She and her husband, Rohit, and their staff were at the venue hours before us and made sure that everything was set up as we had planned, and during the events, she made sure that the timeline was being adhered to. Cheryl was an instrumental component to the success of my son’s wedding in Austin in Oct. 2022. My husband still refers to that weekend, and its perfection, as the “best weekend of my life”. -

We had a great experience with Cheryl planning our wedding! She is detail oriented, responds in a timely fashion and has good contacts with vendors in the Austin area. She went above and beyond to ensure the wedding timeline was created and followed seamlessly. We would recommend her in a heartbeat! -

Cheryl and Rohit are an amazing team!
Cheryl and Rohit are an amazing team! We first met Cheryl 8 years back when she planned my older sisters wedding in Austin and was instrumental in making it such a success. My family is from California and always would say that when it was time for me to get married that I should get married in Austin as well since Cheryl and her team made the whole process so seamless. Fast forward a couple years and my husband and I were living in New York and starting to plan our wedding during the height of the pandemic and did not know if were going to be able to have the big Indian wedding I had dreamed of due to all the uncertainties. My husbands family is from New Jersey and mine in California and we decided to pick something in the middle and Austin TX was the obvious choice. Cheryl helped us navigate picking vendors and our venue while we were living in NYC and had virtual meetings with us weekly to keep us on track and bring all my visions to life. She made time to come to all our vendor meetings, walk throughs, and tastings when we made trips to Austin. We had the most magical wedding week we could have ever imagined- everything was flawless, timely, and went without a hitch thanks to Cheryl and her team. We are grateful for everything she did for us, thank you! -Sangeetha & Shomik -

If you want a perfect wedding, Cheryl is your person!
When my parents told me and my California fiance that we had to have a wedding in Austin, TX (where they live), we knew right away that Cheryl would be the one to help us. It was the first wedding in my family, so we had no idea what we were doing. And on top of that, I wanted to do everything different from the traditional Pakistani weddings in the US. That means absolutely no hotel ballroom for any event! I wanted a beautiful garden/outdoorsy wedding with the best Desi food caterer in all of Texas. But what I didn't realize was how much extra work that entails, especially after COVID when the whole world was getting married at the same time. We needed a separate vendor for every single little thing possible - plates, fans, coolers, buffet tables, chairs, tents, etc etc. It was insane how many vendors were required to produce two 270 person events. Cheryl took care of EVERYTHING. She and her team handled every single vendor, and they knew exactly who to call and who to trust. Imagine dealing with all of these vendors during a time when every single one of them was understaffed, overbooked, and facing supply chain issues. Cheryl made sure every single vendor was on the same page. Thanks to her and her team, every single vendor delivered on each promise, and I know that was no easy task that just anyone could do, especially during these conditions. Here's an example - just the weekend before my wedding, two guests had fainted at the same outdoors venue I had booked. I was so worried the same would happen to my guests. Cheryl booked us evaporative coolers within just a couple of days before the wedding. I was really at ease knowing that no matter what conditions God threw at us that day, Cheryl would take care of us.
The only disappointment I had during my wedding was with how tardy my guests were, which obviously was nothing her team could control!
I consider Cheryl to be an angel of mine. Her experience in this space is unparalleled and you cannot go wrong with her. She will make sure every single wedding dream of yours is met! -

Best planners ever! Like our family away from home.
We are so so glad we went with Cheryl & Rohit from Glitzzy events for our fusion Lutheran/South Indian wedding. Our wedding weekend was absolutely PERFECT thanks to them. Everyone knows wedding planning is super stressful, but they made it so easy and fun! They intentionally took the time to understand us as a couple and our families, so they could anticipate our needs before jumping into planning.
They were calm and collected when interacting with us, even though there was a lot going on behind the scenes of each event. They were extraordinarily detail oriented, and helped us keep track of everything. They have already built a vast network of vendors specifying in South Asian fusion weddings, which was so important since I'm a first generation Indian in the U.S. and don't have immediate family around to help. They were so prompt in communicating with us, especially when it got closer to the date of the wedding, and followed up with every single vendor to coordinate and make sure our day went off perfectly.
During COVID, costs started to sky rocket throughout the wedding industry, and Cheryl and Rohit were transparent with us about this from the beginning. As soon as they found out that costs were increasing, they let us know and helped us revise the budget. When we realized we couldn’t go over budget in certain areas to accommodate areas where we would have to go over budget (like food), they spent time trying to find creative solutions to help us stay within our budget while ensuring that our weekend was beautiful.
Cheryl designed and executed the decor for our Sangeet, and it’s an understatement to say that it was a smash hit! Our guests have been RAVING about her Sangeet decorations for months after the event. During our Sangeet and on our wedding day, Cheryl & Rohit made sure we were fed, happy and stress free, and that everything went smoothly on a set timeline. They are incredible event planners, and have organized and decorated other events for us like my mother’s 55th birthday and our house warming (graha pravesam) ceremony.
We 100% recommend them to anyone that we know, they are the BEST wedding investment that we made! Truly, our wedding would never have happened without them. They are so fun to work with, and are wonderful humans. In these big events, they have been like our family away from home. Love them both!

Professional and Family Feel
Cheryl was a fantastic wedding planner. Her timelines were impeccable and communication style was perfect. Her knowledge and expertise were so helpful in bringing our destination hill country big Indian wedding to life. She navigated our family dynamics with ease and was able to fulfill all our wants. She handled our stresses of the pandemic during the Omicron surge and reassured us our event would go on. Cheryl was very warm and welcoming from the very beginning and put my husband and I's needs first. Having Rohit alongside to help with all the additional needs of our party was like having our family help plan our event and it felt perfect. I am so grateful to have found Cheryl, Rohit, and their team for our wedding!! -

Delivered Beyond Expectations!
Cheryl and Rohit Fernandes of Glitzzy Events provided the event management services for our son’s wedding in Austin, TX. They assisted in identifying and selecting all the necessary vendors - floral arrangements, photographer/videographer, caterers, DJ, special events items, etc. Our son's wedding was originally planned to take place in 2020 but due to COVID constraints the event had to be moved to the latter part of 2021. We had heard from others that moving the wedding back a year would be difficult, with additional 'rescheduling' costs etc. associated with the move. However, Cheryl worked with her partners and vendors to make the change easy for us, and with no additional costs or fees. Cheryl is extremely knowledgeable about all the ins and out of wedding planning. She has great working relationships with vendors and is wonderful at communicating and coordinating with them. We must say that the Glitzzy Events team (Cheryl & Rohit) really delivered beyond expectations - the coordination and scheduling was seamless and excellent on the day of the event - especially with our complex and multifaceted Indian wedding. She was present with a constant smile and calm demeanor which helped us enjoy the wedding knowing she would handle anything. We highly recommend Glitzzy Events/Cheryl for any event coordination. -

Cheryl is amazing!
We have so many great things to say. We met Cheryl and booked Glitzzy events as our first vendor shortly after finding a venue in March of 2019, for our Indian wedding that was initially planned for Spring 2020 but ultimately happened in Fall 2021. Cheryl was incredibly helpful to our planning process by helping us stay organized with spreadsheets, stay on task, provide vendor recommendations, and beyond that, her connectedness and knowledge of the Indian wedding industry in Austin. She knows the ins and outs extremely well, knows hows to get things done, and is an excellent communicator. Even during our wedding week if a problem came up she knew who to contact to fix it. We were planning our wedding from out of state and as busy resident physicians, so we appreciated that she coordinated meetings during limited times when we could be back home and/or over zoom. She was always available for and patient with our questions and helped us and my parents organize the large details and every small detail to pull off the dream Indian wedding we really wanted including three days of events. Another plus is her business also has decor to choose from, which we used for my mehndi night! She is super sweet and genuinely caring. We also got to know her husband, Rohit, who is also wonderful and owns Sparkle Catering, which we used for our wedding day. She communicated between vendors, facilitated and came with us to meetings throughout the entire process like walkthroughs, tastings, and decor. On the day of the wedding she made sure everything stayed on time and went as planned, and took care of us too like making sure we ate food! We certainly could not have pulled it off without her. Another thing is that Cheryl can withstand any feat when it comes to weddings. About 4 weeks prior to our initial wedding date of April 2020, at the start of the pandemic, we had to do the unthinkable and reschedule our wedding which was a very difficult and painful process, and Cheryl helped us with everything and made it easier by contacting vendors for us. We ultimately rescheduled a second time as well, which again Cheryl helped us with. This extended period of time was challenging but Cheryl helped refresh the planning and keep us on track for what to do on monthly and weekly basis! So, all of this to say - Cheryl is wonderful, kind, knowledgable, will always go the extra mile to help you, feels like she is part of your family, and we couldn't have done it without her. We 100% recommend her for your wedding planning needs! -

The best wedding planner!!
It was an absolute delight to work with Cheryl and her team at Glitzzy Events for our wedding! From the beginning to the end, through the pandemic and reschedules, she was our guiding light and support line throughout all the uncertainty. We are so grateful to have had her and her team by our side. The amount of value they added and stress they took away was priceless. Cheryl is extremely hard working, has a warm and calm demeaner, is passionate about what she does and truly cares about the couple and their families. She is extremely knowledgeable about all the ins and out of wedding planning. She has great working relationships with vendors and is wonderful at communicating and coordinating with them. She perfectly guided us step by step during our 2-year wedding planning process and kept us hopeful and on track. We loved our weekly check-in calls with her (and miss them already)! The day of our wedding was perfectly organized by Cheryl and her team, and our wedding vision was seamlessly brought to life. Our families could be present to fully enjoy the events, knowing that everything is being taken care of. It was more magical and special than we had envisioned and we cannot thank Cheryl and her team enough! :)
We highly recommend Glitzzy Events’ services to anyone looking for a thorough, experienced, and compassionate wedding or event planner! -

The Best in Austin
The 5 star reviews don't do Cheryl justice. Our wedding was planned for May of 2020. Due to Covid, we scheduled it to May of 2021. Since the numbers werent going down we ended up going with Dec 2021. All three of those times, Cheryl was there to help. She was the one who coordinated all the reschedules with grace. It is so hard to contact a million vendors to reschedule, thank god Cheryl was there to to that for us.
She is extremely organized. She know how to run a wedding! We met every other week for 6 months and once a week for a month leading up to the wedding. If there was any conflicts, she was flexible to move it to accommodate our schedule. We would throw her random things that we wanted in our wedding and she always found a way to make it happen.
The actual wedding was perfection. There was no glitch and I did not stress at all. Cheryl instructed all vendors to their correct place and assisted with tear down at the wedding. All me and my family had to do was have a good time.
We are so lucky to have had Cheryl there to share this special event with us. She has done my cousins wedding as well so she is now a fixture in our family. I want to now create more events so that Cheryl can plan them! -

Cheryl is truly the BEST!!
When we started planning our daughter’s wedding in October 2019, the first person that came to my mind was Cheryl Fernandes! We had known Cheryl and Rohit for a while, as we were neighbors and we had also attended some amazing events, including a wedding planned by Glitzzy Events. Cheryl and Rohit always have a very calm, pleasant and cheerful demeanor. I called Cheryl, with my fingers crossed, and asked her to be our wedding planner. She is one of the most sought after Indian wedding planners in Austin area and I was hoping her schedule matched ours when it came to finalizing the wedding date. She checked her calendar and informed that she would be able to help us in planning our daughter’s wedding, which was scheduled for November 2020. Our daughter’s wedding was unique as it was going to be a traditional Maharashtrian ceremony and the food for all events had to be completely Vegan. Cheryl was happy and excited to help us with these requirements.
The wedding planning was going well as per Cheryl’s guidance and then the pandemic started! It put a screeching halt on the wedding preparations. Everything became so uncertain, so unpredictable. Cheryl continued to support us in all our discussions. She cheered us up when we were all feeling very stressed. Finally, we (bride, groom and parents) took a collective decision to postpone the wedding till November 2021. As soon as we reached the decision, Cheryl immediately told us that she was going to drop off the call as she wanted to start contacting all our vendors to get them rescheduled and draw new contracts with them for the new wedding date! She sprang into action and within the next few days worked things out with our wedding venue and got us all the same vendors for the new rescheduled wedding date. Cheryl suggested us some of the best vendors, including photographer, videographer, hair & makeup, mandap, henna artist, saree draping expert, DJ and caterers!!
There were several challenges due to the limitations caused by the pandemic. Cheryl gracefully and gently navigated us through all the hurdles. Whether it was shopping for all Indian wedding outfits in the US, or online shopping for welcome bags, wedding favors, decorations, jasmine strings, flowers, Cheryl was our guiding light! Our unique requirement of having vegan food at all the wedding events was wonderfully handled by her. She suggested some of the best caterers who made fabulous Maharashtrian, Bombay Chaat, TexMex, Italian food, desserts and gorgeous wedding cakes (bride and groom’s cakes)…..all completely VEGAN!! The multiple food tastings were totally worth it!
The regular scheduled zoom calls with Cheryl helped us all. She kept us on track and things were done in a timely manner. Cheryl was always available for us no matter how small or how big our question was for her. If she did not have an answer for us at that time, she would always do her research and get back to us. Cheryl is absolutely passionate about her work and takes the load off of the parents shoulders. We experienced this throughout the process of two years (in our case due to rescheduling). In the last couple weeks before the wedding, she helped us deal with the last minute challenges caused by the local weather, delayed shipments, last minute surprises, etc. We were completely at ease because we had Cheryl on our team! Her attention to detail is outstanding!
I cannot say enough of the value Glitzzy Events brought to our daughter’s fairytale wedding! It was absolutely a dream wedding that our daughter always wanted, full of beauty, grace and warmth. It was a heartwarming experience to see her dream turn into reality. Cheryl and Rohit are absolute gems, incredible individuals. They personally took care of us (bride, groom and parents) throughout the entire wedding weekend, just like a sister or brother would do. More than wedding planners, they became part of our family. I would highly recommend Glitzzy Events in a heartbeat!! -

Best Wedding Planner Ever!!
Where do I even start. We booked Cheryl as our full service wedding planner back in August of 2019 and we finally had our dream wedding November of 2021. Cheryl was honestly the best wedding planner we could have ever imagined. She knows the Austin market so well and honestly makes wedding planning such a breeze. Due to Covid and some personal issues we had a few things for our wedding that either fell through or didn't go as plan but Cheryl went above and beyond to make sure we got everything we wanted. When we had to reschedule for Covid our original wedding venue was not available anymore and Cheryl was able to find us a new venue that we ended up LOVING.
If you are getting married in the Austin area we highly highly recommend hiring Cheryl! I promise you it will be the best thing decision you make during your entire wedding planning process. We miss our weekly chats with Cheryl and wish we could do it all over again!! -

Cheryl and Rohit make an amazing team! They are so organized, detail oriented, and fun to work with. They are truly pros at what they do. We had so much fun planning our dream wedding with them. It was so reassuring knowing they were there to make sure our events went smoothly. They did an amazing job for us. We couldn’t be more pleased. -

Phenomenal Experience
Cheryl and her team expertly managed our wedding over a two+ year process including multiple COVID postponements which required significant coordination between guests, vendors, venue, and of course our family. The day of the wedding could not have possibly been more smooth and well executed. Cheryl is calm, warm and very experienced, and set a clear framework up front while allowing our family to customize each aspect of the wedding in a productive manner.
Cheryl provided excellent vendor recommendations and her experience helped us to avoid potential pitfalls and identify opportunities to make our special day our own! My wife and I, and our families, are so thankful we were able to rely on the Glitzzy team. -

Best Experience, Can’t Recommend Highly Enough
When we originally planned to use Glitzzy Events for our wedding planning, our wedding was scheduled for November of 2020. The pandemic had yet to hit, and all seemed smooth. Well, of course, fast forward about six months, and we are working on a reschedule with multiple vendors with no safe date in sight.
Throughout all of this, Cheryl was patient, motivated, and, above all else, empathetic. She handled the entire situation with a grace that I couldn’t have even imagined. When you pick a planner for your event, I’m sure you are looking for someone who doesn’t panic at the sight of a problem, and instead, is always looking for solutions. Well, I can tell you that the planning of this wedding these last couple of years threw every problem her way, and she was constantly calm and working out contingencies. I truly never saw her fazed, and there is no one better, calmer, better at their job, or kinder that you would want planning your event.
Another thing Cheryl excels at is relationships and managing opinions. Every single wedding is bound to have many opinions tossed about, and that can be quite difficult to sort through! In some ways, it is the trickiest part of putting on an event like this - trying to make sure everyone involved is happy with the end result. Well, Cheryl is a master at taking everyone’s opinions into account and coming up with something that works for everyone. She did this several times during our wedding planning process, and she was a complete lifesaver that way. In the end, the event she planned had something for everyone involved, even including little surprises that showed just how carefully she had been listening and really understanding.
That is Cheryl’s true strength - taking the visions and ideas of two partners and their families and really taking the time, energy, and what I can only guess is a natural gift to bring those dreams to reality. When I saw the end result, I was nearly brought to tears not just because it was beautiful and meaningful, but because it was exactly what I had imagined and more, and because it was a result of so much creativity and love from someone who is so good at what they do.
If you are feeling overwhelmed with planning your event and you have no idea where to start, if you are sorting through planners and can’t make up your mind, if you are struggling in any way with your event, please read this review and know that Glitzzy Events saved the day for my family and myself during a really difficult time with the pandemic, and they can do the same for you! There is no better decision we could have made!
For some specific information, Cheryl planned a fusion wedding for us with Sangeet, Chinese ceremony, Indian ceremony (a task which included conducting a baraat on 6th street, I’m sure no easy feat, though she made it look easy), and a western style reception, so truly there is nothing she cannot do!
Cheryl, her husband, and her team will always have a place in our heart, having worked on both my sister and my wedding, and we only hope to have more events in the future just to work with her again!

We, parents of the bride and grooms had a wonderful experience with our wedding planner Cheryl. Would recommend her in a heartbeat!
Cheryl and her team did an amazing job to bring my daughter’s fairytale wedding to life. She started to work with us in June of 2019 , and went through two postponements during the pandemic. She is efficient, insightful and very personable. Her flawless execution of 2 years of intricate and thoughtful planning left many of our guests in awe with the wedding. I really liked that she presented her many rich ideas in a non-imposing fashion and gave thoughtful consideration to our priorities and vision. The whole process was a collaborative effort because she listened and respected everyone’s ideas, as she worked to make them materialize. She truly was not kidding when she told us “you all don’t worry about anything on the wedding day, don’t even carry your phone, just enjoy the day “ -

Most amazing wedding planner.
Cheryl is the most amazing wedding planner. She planned my younger daughter's wedding at Driskill Hotel. Due to Covid, there were a couple of reschedules and she had to put in extraordinary effort due to the reschedules, she never brought up any issues related to all this extra work. Wedding turned out to every bit as fantastic as we had imagined and in fact exceeded our expectations. We had numerous requests about the specifics of the wedding and she took all of those into account in planning this event. Thanks to her meticulous planning, we were entirely stress free at the events, thus allowing us to enjoy it fully. I very much recommend her for wedding planning or other events for that matter. You will be happy with how your events turn out. -

Perfection!
Cheryl was much much more than a wedding coordinator, she was our lifeline!! Our wedding was originally supposed to occur in June 2020 but for obvious reasons that didn’t happen. Cheryl was there with us throughout the whole stressful situation, providing support and helping us navigate through the whole process. We ended up delaying the wedding a year later and had it in June 2021. It was more beautiful than we could have ever imagined, truly our DREAM wedding due to the ton of work Cheryl did. She was very much our fairy godmother and we can’t imagine how more stressful and difficult it would have been had we not partnered with her. Cheryl provided us with her undivided attention and support from the day you initially contact her to the day we said “I do”. No matter how busy she is with other clients she always seems to find a way to make you feel like you are her only one (I swear she doesn’t sleep!!). She eats, breathes, and lives in the event/wedding planning space. Cheryl truly is the GOAT of coordinators and I challenge anyone to find someone that cares more about her clients and who goes above and beyond as much as Cheryl does. Cheryl treats her clients like family and she instantly became a part of ours after our long journey. -

Two incredible weddings and the journey of a lifetime with the amazingly talented Cheryl
There are so many wonderful things we could write about Cheryl, Rohit and Glitzzy Events. Cheryl, her husband Rohit and their team were with us through the challenging time of planning a wedding before and during the Covid-19 pandemic. Our journey with them started in late 2019 and little did we know at that time would continue all the way through May of 2021. When we initially started planning our wedding in 2019, our plan was to have a grand wedding in Sept 2020 with all of our family and friends at the Hyatt Lost Pines. We had meetings with Cheryl every other week and she meticulously documented everything we would discuss at each meeting and by the next meeting would have spoken to all the vendors and come back to us with everything taken care of and ready for us to review. She never missed a beat either, her organizational skills and ability to keep calm and keep us calm when everything seemed so overwhelming was truly a blessing. We all went through a lot of hardships during 2020 and despite this Cheryl was unwavering in her professionalism and commitment to making sure our wedding would be the best version that it could possibly be within the circumstances outside of anyone’s control. With the pandemic raging during Sept 2020, having a large wedding was out of the question and so we made the tough decision to postpone this celebration until things settled down. However, we still wanted to be married on our original chosen date in September and Cheryl was there to support us in this. We had one of the most beautiful wedding ceremonies on that day in our home with our immediate families only and it was designed and executed entirely by Cheryl, Rohit and their team at Glitzzy Events. This type of mini wedding was something that they had not done before and something we could have never imagined doing and it was all put together on such short timeline and somehow executed flawlessly! The décor they created for the front of our house was magnificent and dream-like. Our neighbors still talk about how beautiful our home looked on that day! It was unlike anything we have ever seen or imagined, and it was such a special day. We were grateful to be able to livestream this beautiful event for our families and friends to be part of virtually as well, thanks to the amazing video team we had as well.
Even though we were officially married on this day in Sept 2020 in a small ceremony at our home, we were still determined to have a larger wedding celebration with our family and friends in attendance. With so much uncertainty on our timeline, we postponed this celebration until May 2021. Cheryl was with us during this entire time period through the ups and downs of planning and postponing and planning again and making sure that we would be ready to celebrate with our guests that could attend by then. The wedding we had started planning in 2019 was not the same wedding we ended up having in May 2021, but it ended up being the best celebration we could imagine and exactly what it was meant to be! We significantly modified the celebration to incorporate both Latin and Indian cultures on two separate nights. It was the perfect fusion of two bright and colorful cultures and Cheryl was instrumental in helping to create this. It was such a beautiful wedding weekend at the Hyatt Lost Pines full of so much love and so much emotion. Our friends and families cried, it was the first time for us to all be together again after such a difficult year, and to be able to celebrate together something that had been in the making for so long was such an incredible feeling of gratefulness and hope that our lives were returning and love remains abundant. There are no words to describe how grateful we are to Cheryl for creating this moment for us in our lives. Not just once but twice. Two incredible, beautiful, perfect weddings, different in their scale, but priceless just the same.
Although we would never want to plan another wedding again after all we went through (lol), we would choose Cheryl again 1000 times!!!

A Very Big Thank You to Cheryl & Rohit
Thank you, Cheryl & Rohit! You guys did it again for us, our younger daughter’s wedding planning, execution and final ceremonies were executed flawlessly. We cannot say enough of your dedication to detail, your empathy in understanding our needs, your shepherding of our various demands and wishes from both sides of the couple’s families, this takes a major effort and selfless love for your profession! And not to forget the added challenges cast by the Covid Pandemic in juggling vendor and venue timelines and constraints, pricing negotiations, vendor recommendations, client demands, etc., etc.

She does it all! Such an amazing person and planner. Will make all your wedding dreams come true!
Cheryl, Rohit and the rest of the glitzzy event team were such a blessing to Ravi and I as we started planning our big fat indian wedding. From the beginning Cheryl was so attentive, easy to talk to and sooo organized! She scheduled out meetings once a month and than weekly as we came close to our wedding date. This made it so stress free and easy as me and Ravi both worked full time jobs. I can honestly say i felt very little stress throughout this whole process despite planning a wedding in a middle of a pandemic. On the days of the events, Cheryl and her team worked through early mornings and late nights to make sure our families and us didn’t have to worry about anything. And we didnt! We genuinely believe we have had the wedding of our dreams and could not have happened without this team.
We cant thank her enough. We continue to day dream about this special day and would do it all over again if we could. We will always be so thankful for Cheryl and the Glitzzy event team! -

Amazing experience working with the team
We had a great experience with Cheryl and Rohit! We would like to thank them for the wonderful event they organized for us. Everyone really loved the decor and setup at the venue. Due to the rain and cold weather, they had to move everything from our originally planned outdoor venue into the house but it still turned out to be a great event and a beautiful memory in our hearts. Everything from the initial planning to the final event was a smooth and seamless journey. All the vendors suggested did a fantastic job and everything happened in the timeline decided. We would definitely recommend her to everyone searching for an event planner in the San Antonio/ Austin area. -

Look no more! Cheryl is the best wedding planner!
I can’t say enough about Cheryl and Rohit. I remember the first time I spoke with Cheryl on the phone and we had an instant connection!!! I knew immediately she would be the one to help me plan the most important day of my life. I remember telling her my vision and she knew immediately which venue, photographer and videographer I would like. Of course I did my homework and looked into every other option to make sure I was making the right decision. Ultimately, Cheryl was right! I chose all of her vendors and venue selection and I couldn’t be happier! She has a way of knowing what you are looking for and makes sure to only pick the best options. I was also amazed at how she made sure to incorporate my parents and in-laws requests. She always put my husband and I first but made sure our parents were happy with the final decision. Our wedding weekend turned out perfect and I honestly wouldn’t change a thing thanks to Cheryl! She was not only our wedding planner but has become a good friend!! -

Above and Beyond
Cheryl and Rohit were exceptional wedding planners from the start. We and all of our guests live out of town, and Cheryl was instrumental in helping us plan and coordinate a large wedding and sangeet in Austin. She made sure we were on track every step of the way, helped connect us with great vendors and got great deals for us, and expertly coordinated so many moving parts. We always felt confident in her and Rohit's ability to guide us through our wedding weekend, which was supposed to take place in April 2020. When we had to postpone the event just 4 weeks out, Cheryl could not have been more helpful and supportive. She went above and beyond helping us rearrange everything and eventually wrap things up. She made sure we were taken care of in this unprecedented situation and it was clear that she was personally invested in making things as easy as possible for us. The care, effort and skill she puts into her work is exceptional. Even though the day we planned was not able to happen as we originally imagined, we are so impressed and grateful for Cheryl's services and would recommend her to anyone. -

Cheryl is a great wedding planner!
Cheryl helped me and wife plan an amazing wedding! We had a fusion Indian/American wedding and Cheryl knew about both cultures and wedding styles very well and did an great job infusing the two. Since I had been living in another state during the planning, having Cheryl was very helpful and took a lot of stress off us! She helped schedule all of our events in the planning phase, making sure we did certain things at the appropriate time, had a lot of great vendors to choose from Cheryl schdheuled weekly meetings for me and my wife and the parents to talk through things like budget items, certain things we wanted, and feedback on our ideas. Cheryl helped a get an amazing venue for the wedding and her relationships with the venue really helped on the pricing, plus her relationships with the other main vendors, like the Indian food, the decor, cake, music, and the hair/makeup. The week of she was solely focused on our wedding, taking our calls when we needed and very responsive through the entire process. She made the wedding day very easy and stress-free as possible for us. Cheryl and Rohit made sure we stayed on schedule for both wedding day events, made sure everything was set up perfectly, and made sure to plan for if certain things didn't go accordingly. Cheryl is very detailed in all that she does and made sure it was exactly what we wanted and envisioned for our wedding. Not only did she help us envision the wedding we wanted but helped is suggesting great ideas for our wedding in areas we did not know what we wanted. Overall this wedding would not have had gone as smoothly without Cheryl. We are grateful for her and Rohit for making this special day so memorable, stress-free, and amazing! I have already recommended her to friends and family members who want to plan a wedding and told them you need a wedding planner for an event like a wedding and that you need Cheryl, the right wedding planner for your event. She knows all of the ins and outs of weddings, so easy to work with, helpful at all points of the planning and from just spending time with her during these 9 months, we can tell that she loves what she does and that is what makes her so great at it! We are so grateful to Cheryl and love everything she did for us!! -

The Dream Team
Cheryl is literally every bride and groom’s dream come true. We got married on February 29th, 2020, with just 7 months of planning prior, and its unimaginable to think about how we could've made our dream wedding a reality without Cheryl by our sides. Planning a wedding for 500 people is no easy feat, let alone a wedding that spans over the course of 3 days. Cheryl worked with us from the very beginning- reaching out to each and every vendor we came up with. Truly, this woman has more patience than anyone we’ve ever met- which is no exaggeration. Most wedding planners we’ve seen our family or friends hire get frustrated when you come close to a decision and then renege- asking to reach out to just a few more vendors, but not Cheryl. She will do everything in her power to make sure that you do not feel pressured and are happy and comfortable with the decisions you make and contracts you sign, even if that means a lot of extra work on her part. There were several times we felt bad, to which she would ease our worries saying, “Don’t even worry- it’s all a part of the process!”
We joked with her so many times during the planning- asking her if she ever takes a break. Well, spoiler alert to anyone wondering- she doesn’t. We don’t understand how she can have the same number of hours in her day as the rest of us, but she makes it all look easy. To those of you that are very detail-oriented and particular, she is just the right fit for you. She would make Marie Kondo proud with how organized she is in her wedding planning; no detail goes unnoticed. She was there at almost every single vendor meeting, tasting, etc- never missing a beat. A couple of our vendors even praised how hands-on and present she was, saying they had never seen a planner that was this dedicated before.
Without a doubt she was a lifesaver every single day leading up to the wedding, but the week of our events- she was basically a wedding wizard. Every time we looked around or needed her, she was there! We could swear she can apparate, because we don’t know how she is always everywhere at once. We had so many moving pieces during our wedding and it was quite a production, but Cheryl handled it all seamlessly and with a smile on her face- like the classy professional that she is.
We had some deep conversations with Cheryl along the way, which just made us love her more and more. A lot of people that are in the wedding industry can fall into a mentality of “well- this is just another wedding, just another weekend to me.” Not Cheryl. What happens when someone finally gets the chance to have their dream job? You get someone like Cheryl. Wedding planning isn’t work to her, it’s a labor of love. She pours her heart and soul into every single wedding she plans. It is so easy to see how much she enjoys what she does and how happy it makes her to bring each and every couple’s dream wedding to life.
Any time we were feeling uneasy about anything in the process, she was always there in our court- making sure that our needs were met by our vendors. During the contract process she asked for so many different concessions on our behalf from our venues and vendors that we didn’t even think about. These concessions truly elevated our wedding- making it incredibly memorable for us, and all of our guests. She saved us thousands of dollars with her savvy negotiating skills and experience- well over what we paid to have her on our team. If you’re wondering if a planner is worth the money- the right one can be the best decision you make. So many of our guests commented that our wedding was the most well-organized wedding they had ever been to. This is all thanks to Cheryl.
With that said, this review would not be complete without mentioning Cheryl’s husband, Rohit. One of the biggest reasons that Cheryl is able to throw herself so passionately into her weddings is because she has the best support system in Rohit. Rohit was there by Cheryl’s side during our entire wedding- complementing her skills with his own, no task too big or too small. One sweet gesture that has remained in our minds is the memory of how Rohit put together a bag full of packed food for us at the end of every single one of our events, giving us a chance to try any items we might have missed in the flurry. You hear so many couples say that they never got to try the food they spent so much time picking out for their wedding, but Cheryl and Rohit would never let that happen. They are thoughtful and caring, always making sure their couples are taken care of. We will forever be grateful to both of them for everything they did for us in the months leading up to our wedding.
We would 100% recommend anyone to hire Cheryl, and not think twice. She is a wonderful person- very ethical, straightforward, and transparent. We once very naively asked her why she doesn’t plan outside of Austin. Looking back- the answer is clear. Cheryl is not the type of person that would be willing to compromise on her quality and presence. She wants to be there for you every step of the way. She knows the Austin venues like the back of her hand and has built incredible relationships with all of the vendors she has worked with- a perk that her couples get to have to their advantage. Austin is so lucky to have her.
Cheryl & Rohit, from both of our families to you- thank you for everything you have done for us. You are truly the dream team and we wish you nothing but happiness and success in all of your endeavors. Great people like you deserve great things, and we hope that you stay happy and stay loving what you do for a lifetime. We love you! -Neha & Vineel Kankanala-

Monisha & David - November 8th & 9th - Sheraton, Georgetown, TX
Cheryl Fernandez was the event coordinator for our daughter Monisha Konana’s wedding with David Joseph on November 8th and 9th 2019. Cheryl helped us for the entire planning right from finding the venue until the very last minute. All I can say is Cheryl is absolutely amazing and dependable lady who pays detailed attention to every small part of the wedding to make sure we come out with flying colors at the end. Her professionalism, her meticulous planning, striking deals with all the vendors and getting things done on time were just commendable. We had 5 back to back events in 2 days with around 425 guests and the way Cheryl and her husband Rohit executed everything with all the arrangements including the decorations, food, photo/video, DJ and managing the guests was just flawless. All our guests were extremely appreciative of all the arrangements and the smooth event flow.
The best part was from one week before the wedding, we were almost out of the planning game and just focused on our families and out of town guests. Cheryl and her crew pretty much took everything under control during that last week to make sure everything went smooth.
From the day one, Cheryl took our needs and requirements very seriously and worked with us genuinely with lot of personal attention. We are all extremely happy with Cheryl and highly recommend her as a wedding coordinator.

Austin Destination Wedding
My husband and I are from Chicago and decided to have an Austin destination wedding. We met Cheryl during one of our visits and we’re so glad we decided to hire a planner. Cheryl was our feet on the ground and was able to connect us with a lot of Indian vendors which was very helpful. She also planned our schedules when we came to visit to optimize our time. Between Cheryl and Rohit, the execution of our wedding weekend was flawless. Cheryl even bought the perishable items needed for the ceremony since we were coming in from out of town. We were able to relax and enjoy our time with family and friends. -

Cheryl Fernandes of Glitzy events deserves a 7 star, an outstanding and amazing wedding planning resource
Cheryl is not only the best wedding planner but also one of the most amazing human beings we have ever met. Cheryl was the wedding planner for our daughter’s marriage in February 2019, any amount of appreciation towards her hard work and meticulous planning will not be enough to appreciate her work. From the day my wife and I met her to the day of the marriage took place, Cheryl took complete control of all wedding activities. All that my wife and I had to do was to tell her of what we needed, and it was done. There were so many last-minute change requests, some of which were a little tough to pull it off but she still made it happen. We consider ourselves a good negotiator, but Cheryl was two steps ahead of us. She saved us thousands of dollars, which we had not anticipated. We were treated very professionally and felt very comfortable leaving some important decisions to her.
Our daughter’s wedding was a dream come true affair, each and every function did exceed our expectations. We are truly short of words in expressing our feelings for Cheryl, she is an excellent, comprehensive, meticulous, detail-oriented, frugal, highly organized and reliable professional.
We truly had a remarkable experience with Cheryl and after the close association, she is like a family member to us and it would be our pleasure to stay in touch with such an amazing person for all the times to come. We would certainly engage Cheryl again if we had a second child to marry 😊

Simply the best!
Cheryl has been a god sent angel for my family and I. My husband and I took on medical residency and wedding planner on at the same time. Little did we know, residency was going to take over our lives. Cheryl stepped in and made it all seem so effortless. She guided us every step of the way as a dear friend and well wisher. She advocated for the wedding and made us pay attention to issues we did not even realize were things we had to pay attention to. One particular example that comes to mind is when I fell in love with Fairmont, Austin after spending
2 days looking at venues. I did not say much in the moment but I believe Cheryl knew it was my dream to get married there and she made it happen - the first indian wedding at the Fairmont! I will never know how to thank you enough for bringing it to reality.
I also loved how she was always present for all of our meetings and had a unique ability to look at the big picture and piece together little details. excellent relationships with vendors. I can speak from experience when I say her clients (who become family!) and her vendors would go to the end of the earth for her. Cheryl, thank you so much for all you and Rohit have done for us! -

My wedding was perfect!!!
Words cannot express my gratitude for Cheryl and her husband Rohit. My wedding weekend went without the slightest hitch and it is all due to this amazing team. I reached out to Cheryl in the beginning of my wedding planning process when I soon realized I could not do it on my own and I had all these ideas and they made it all come to life and everything was simply magical.
Cheryl was extremely responsive from the beginning to the end and was with me every step of the way. She is so sweet and patient and took the time to understand my vision and respect it and made it all happen while giving me the best suggestions to make my event the best it can be! I had a lot of last minute changes from my guest count to changing my dance floor etc and even with just days away from my wedding she made those changes happen without the slightest doubt!
She takes the time to make sure she is at every vendor meeting and made sure everyone was always on the same page for the weekend to run smoothly.
During the wedding my friends and family expected me to a complete bridezilla considering my type A personality but everyone couldn’t believe how calm I was and it was all due to the Glitzy and Sparkle team. I was able to enjoy every moment of my wedding because I knew they had everything covered!!!
Cheryl and Rohit will make your planning process so much easier. They were the best wedding decision I made and recommend them to anyone who is in the process of planning a wedding. I will truly miss working with them!

Indian Christian Wedding in Austin, TX
Cheryl and her team did an amazing job helping us through the wedding process. It was the first wedding in both our families, so we were overwhelmed on where to start. But as soon as we found Cheryl, we got to work right away, starting by finding a better venue for the reception than I had originally found on my own. My husband and I were living in a different state which made planning a wedding in Austin tricky, but Cheryl kept us on track with weekly phone calls and to do lists. She is extremely organized, creative and knows how to work with all the vendors. She knows how to negotiate with the vendors to make sure you will get the most for your money.
Getting closer to the wedding, Cheryl made sure to go through everything with me but also with our families. Whenever I was in town, she worked with our schedules to make sure we were getting everything done. The day of the wedding, she was there with her husband Rohit and her assistant who were all such a huge help. I even had an emergency the day of with my videographer and she was able to find additional help the morning of my wedding to make sure everything went smoothly. My wedding was about 500-550 guests and there is no way I could have managed everything on my own. Cheryl will go above and beyond for you and will make the wedding day experience a lot less stressful. My wedding turned out beautiful and all our guests has a wonderful time and I owe a lot of the planning and work to Cheryl and her team.-

Amazing, simply amazing
What can I say about Cheryl Fernandes at Glitzzy Events? Our wedding would not have come together as beautifully as it did without her. Unfailingly cheerful, a spreadsheet queen, and with the key expertise to help guide me through a myriad of decisions over nine months. My Mondays seem empty without their regular weekly conference call. Cheryl kept me, James, and my parents on track while providing key contacts (and context) on putting together a memorable wedding that celebrated both James Brock and me. I wholeheartedly recommend her for weddings or other events. Thank you, Cheryl. #indianwedding #desi #shaadi -

Cheryl and her team were incredible
Events: Sangeet June 26th, Wedding June 27th, and Reception June 28th.
Location: San Antonio, TX
We first contacted Cheryl almost 10 months before our big day. We had viewed many others and just from her videos we knew there was something about her. Once we had our first call, we couldn't stop talking about Cheryl and the instant connection we felt.
We had Cheryl’s top package and looking back, we wouldn’t have changed anything. Her weekly conference calls helped us stay on track with contracts, payments, discussions about the timeline and also allowed us to be held accountable given our busy and hectic schedules. She made the whole wedding planning process a breeze! To put things in perspective we signed her contract in late September 2018 and before January 2019 we had the Venue, photographer, decor, videographer, horse for the baraat, DJ, Hair and Make up Artist, clothing designer and mehndi artist all signed. These were major pieces we had done within a few months. Nearly two months before the big day all we had were tiny components left which were mainly extras and related to logistics.
The week of the wedding is where we were even more grateful of having Cheryl and Rohit present. They made things go extremely smooth. We didn’t feel stressed except for minor unexpected details but once we told Cheryl they were swiftly taken care of.
Overall we wouldn’t have been able to have our dream wedding without Cheryl and Rohit. We would highly recommend using her services and her experience. She truly was someone who took the time to make sure things were the way we had pictured and not someone who forced ideas and made it their way instead.
Thank you so much Cheryl and Rohit for making our big day so memorable. -

Wedding Planning
We faced the worst case scenario--using the rain plan for what was supposed to be an outdoor ceremony. The week before our wedding Cheryl made sure we had a solid rain plan we were all comfortable with. The day of the wedding, with some (but not much) guidance on what the end product would look like, Cheryl coordinated the most beautiful wedding set up indoors. So much so that I didn't feel an ounce of regret that we couldn't have an outdoor ceremony we wanted. With a fusion wedding, we also had a set of unique challenges. Cheryl was able to seamlessly plan two ceremonies and honor both cultures. Undoubtedly, hiring Cheryl was money well spent and saved us hours and money in the long run. She also helped us find terrific vendors which fit into our budget. -

Cheryl Fernandes of Glitzy Events Austin is the best for Indian weddings!
Cheryl and Rohit Fernandes of Glitzy Events helped plan my daughter's wedding (3-day event) in June 2019 in Austin, TX. She is absolutely the very best! She worked hard with us and especially with my daughter and son-in-law to make sure the wedding went the way we wanted it. On the days of the event, Cheryl and Rohit were on top of everything and ensured that the event went off smoothly. My husband and I were able to relax and enjoy the wedding celebrations and everyone complimented us on how well things were organized! Thanks Cheryl!
One other thing to mention about Cheryl is that she has a big heart and does not operate like an external vendor but as someone who genuinely cares about the celebration. I would recommend her very strongly for your events! -

Highly recommend!!! Fantastic service!
We had the pleasure of working with Cheryl and her husband Rohit (and his catering service Sparkle) for our wedding in April. They provided excellent service to us and made sure all of our needs, concerns, and questions were answered and taken care of! Cheryl provided wonderful guidance while also allowing us to make the choices we wanted that matched our wedding vision. She was well organized, timely, and showed great professionalism. We are truly grateful for her attention to detail to help make our dream wedding a reality! We highly recommend her and her husband's catering company - it will really take the stress out of the big day! Thanks again for all of your hard work and dedication to working to make sure our wedding was a huge success! -

The best!
As a mother of the bride I cannot say enough positive things about Cheryl, her Husband Rohit and their crew. Their professionalism, friendliness and advise on timeline and all event schedules were second to none. From the day she was hired in October, Cheryl was always available to respond to emails, endless text messages and numerous phone calls. During the wedding they made sure that everything ran like clockwork, they made sure there were plenty of appetizers, cocktails and drinks for everyone, and even the hosts and their family members were always looked after. Most of all, they made sure that Venue was back to normal afterwards, everything was tidied up and put away. After the wedding we received so many compliments about Cheryl's execution of event and how seamless the entire event was. Cheryl and her husband Rohit made this wedding memorable not only for the brides but for all the guests as well. Honestly It would not have been possible if we had not hired Cheryl. I highly recommend Glitzzy's event planning services. -

If you ask me it was in June last year, when we met for the first time and decided to go forward together. Looking back, and we did not know it then - it was the best decision we took. Your guidance and advise put the framework to a perfect wedding. There are so many small, and not so small things you have done which we are not even aware of. Your persistence to get it right came through in so many difference ways. Example, we signed off on the seating chart but you knew something was not right and you kept at it till you were satisfied. Your positive attitude, coupled with your enthusiasm showed every step of the way.
Thank you for all you have done for making this amazing event happen. Now that the event is behind us and you are are busy with your next event it will indeed give us great joy if we stay in touch. Please give us a call and stop by our home whenever you are in Katy.

The Best Wedding Planner!
My husband and I can’t imagine getting through the wedding planning and execution process without Cheryl, Glitzzy Events and her team!!
She helped us plan our dream wedding all within 5 months! She helped gather, consolidate and turn my, my now husband and our family’s many asks and desires into reality!
You can probably imagine that a wedding in such a short timeline requires immense attention to detail and a passion to help. She had a list of specialty vendors to meet our Indian wedding needs. Each step of the planning process was seamless because of Cheryl’s connections, her expertise in all things wedding related and her ability to break it down for everyone. She saw the big picture, is very organized, made sure our family and the various vendors are informed of the plan and any changes.
In addition to the help and guidance she provided during planning, she was wonderful on the big day! My husband, family and I were able to enjoy the day without having to worry about any details. Cheryl, her team and the many vendors were there every step of the way. Their execution was phenomenal. Every detail that was planned was executed perfectly and on time. I am so very thankful to Cheryl and her team!
If you are looking for someone to help plan and coordinate your specialty India style wedding in Austin, we definitely recommend Cheryl, Glitzzy Events and her Team! -

We just wrapped up a wedding planned by Cheryl. She did an absolutely amazing job for my daughter's wedding. From selecting vendors to negotiating with them to getting them to perform, she handled each and every task meticulously. She has a vendor for everything you can think of. She balances the dimensions of vision, practicality, and budgets effectively. She pushes back where she must. On the day of the wedding, she had a minute by minute plan for the day across multiple venues. When we were stressed, she famously said none of us needed to be, because we can transfer our stresses to her. Cheryl enabled all of us to fully enjoy the wedding without worrying about a single thing! If you want an amazing, delightful and worry-free wedding experience, Cheryl is your wedding planner. I totally recommend her. -

Cheryl and Glittzy Events helped us with our fusion wedding. She was outstanding, seeing the Bride’s big picture while adding her own advise and experience. Glittzy events handled the wedding and all the events leading up to it with professionalism and grace. -

This review is long overdue. “Do we need a wedding planner for our wedding?”. This was one of the questions I asked during the beginning stages of planning our wedding. I was so nervous on hiring a wedding planner. Scared that they overcharge or the general assumption that we will not get exactly what we want.
We did a destination wedding and were a bit worried with regards to organizing and choosing our vendors but Cheryl made the process as painless as possible. She is very organized, attentive and detail oriented. She prepared a google docs for us to update and track list of tasks to be done and she made sure we were on right track for all the events planned for our wedding. Going into the final stretch before the wedding, she really starts to bring everything together and will bring to your attention details you never considered. All her packages are very reasonable for the amount of work she puts in.
She always responded quickly to any questions we had, gave us friendly reminders every time we needed to get things done or submitted. We had so many last minute things and Cheryl took care of everything. She had thought of things that we did not even think about. Trust me there are really few things we didn’t even know.
On our wedding day, we knew we had absolutely nothing to stress about because Cheryl and her team were on it. We couldn't have asked for a better planner, and we are so grateful that we picked Cheryl to help us throughout our wedding planning.
Thank you Cheryl for all that you and your team has done to make our wedding, dreams come true, STRESS FREE! We highly recommend her to anyone, because she really knows what she's doing and you can really see that she absolutely loves what she does!
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

It’s hard for me to think about my wedding happening without Cheryl. I was the first to get married in my family and had many ideas for the ceremony and reception, but no clue how to actually organize and implement our ideas. This is where Cheryl and her husband come into play. They can execute any idea and make it a reality. They have vendors for anything needed for a wedding and truly are some of the sweetest people we have had the pleasure of working with in awhile. If you are in doubt as to whether or not to spend money on a wedding planner, I can say with complete confidence that Cheryl is the right person to help you. She made herself available at all times to answer our questions and kept our event running smoothly and beautifully the day of. Cannot thank you enough Cheryl and we will be back here with any more big life event celebrations to plan!!!! -

I booked Cheryl for Month and Day-Of services for our two-night wedding. I like to be very organized and Cheryl's process to pull all of our plans together and execute was amazing! We hosted a Western and Indian ceremony and Cheryl's experience was so helpful to the uniqueness we wanted to apply to our ceremonies. She is very knowledgeable about a variety of different cultural and religious weddings and her suggestions and reminders were so helpful. She also understood my vision from the beginning and carried through with all my wishes. She navigated the various perspectives including mine, my husband, and both parents. She also calmly handled the execution and I didn't have to worry at all that everything would go according to plan since she was there. Our wedding days were relaxing and enjoyable thanks to Cheryl and Rohit! -

Cheryl is amazing! We used Glittzy Events for wedding coordination and I just don’t know how we could’ve done it without her. She literally made sure every last detail was taken care of and made our wedding day as stress-free as possible. I can’t express how much I appreciated and NEEDED Cheryl’s help throughout this whole process. Also, Cheryl knows everyone in the ATX wedding industry, which is comforting as her advice is valuable. I would highly recommend Cheryl to anyone planning a wedding in Austin, particularly an Indian wedding. You simply cannot go wrong with Cheryl’s keen attention to detail, patience, connections, and creativity. -

Cheryl is the best wedding planner I have worked with - and since I own & operate a special events horse-drawn carriage & Baraat horse service, I have worked with a LOT of wedding planners. Cheryl by far provides the most communication and the quickest response as well as runs the most ON-TIME events!!
If you are getting married, use Cheryl as your planner, you won't be sorry - or late! -

Cheryl planned our wedding in Austin, TX and I could not have asked for a better wedding planner. I do not live in Austin so I relied completely on Cheryl for vendor recommendations, negotiations, tastings, etc. She handled everything with aplomb. We had a traditional Indian wedding with Sangeet, wedding ceremony, and reception for 300 people. Cheryl was so good at thinking of all the little details that made the event so special. In addition, she is so organized and that made the event go so smoothly. We got so many comments from our friends and family at how spectacular and well-organized our wedding was. I would not hesitate to hire Cheryl (and Rohit!) again for any future event planning. She is worth every penny (and her prices are very reasonable). -

She made sure that the day was stress-free for us. Thank you Cheryl and Rohit for making our party such a memorable event! We would highly recommend them for any event! -

My wife and I got recently married in India and wanted to host a reception in Austin for our friends and family in the US who couldn't make it to our wedding. Not really knowing what to do and pretty frustrated with our search for the venue, my mom and I decided to look for wedding planners and found Cheryl. We met her for dinner one evening where she walked us through what all is needed and helped us come up with a budget expectation.
Cheryl and her team were great! Cheryl helped us find the perfect venue for our reception that all the guests loved, a good photographer to cover to the event (which was very important to us), as well as the DJ, cake, and just about everything else. She did a wonderful job coordinating with all the vendors and even negotiating with them to help us meet our budget. Last but not least, she did an outstanding job with the decorations. We really liked that she listened to all our requests and helped us plan a great evening, all the while keeping our budget in mind. I highly recommend her! -

Cheryl is amazing!!! We had a destination wedding in Austin, TX and came to the city knowing absolutely nothing about what it had to offer, except that the views were gorgeous. Cheryl has connections with great vendors in the past and gave us good recommendations on who we should consider working with for each event given the details of what we were expecting (different types of food, decorations, etc.). This also meant she was able to get us good deals with these vendors as well as negotiate prices. She was very organized and set up Google docs for me to review and update often to make sure we were on schedule and had a good understanding of what to expect on the days of the events. She was always available and ready to help. We were e-mailing and texting Cheryl several times weekly and she was always willing to help us out. When we got closer to the wedding, she also set up phone meetings every 2 days to make sure everything was on track for last minute details. My parents and I were especially amazed at how much we were able to get done during our 2 day trips to Austin. We simply let Cheryl know when we wanted to come down and she arranged all meetings with the vendors and kept everything on time. We always left with a sense of accomplishment without feeling overwhelmed. We had several friends and family members tell us how organized and on schedule everything was during the wedding weekend. She even made sure all bills were finalized after the events and offered to pick up things that were left at venues for us. Overall, Cheryl was a lifesaver and helped us flawlessly plan a destination wedding in 6 months. I HIGHLY recommend her and her team. -

We had our dream wedding thanks to Cheryl and her team! We got married in May 2017 in Austin Texas and as soon as we met with Cheryl, we knew she would be a perfect fit to plan our wedding. My fiance and I both lived in Houston and our families were not from Texas so this made the planning processes difficult until we met Cheryl. Initially I thought we wouldn't need a planner because we were keeping our wedding on the smaller side, but after a couple of months of vendor shopping, I realized we could not plan a destination Indian wedding without the help of an expert, especially with us not being in town. Cheryl actually ended up saving us more than her fee! She was able to negotiate contracts and find the best vendors and deals due to her connections in the area. As the wedding date got closer she was crucial in finding last minute vendors, getting everything organized and keeping us on track.
Our actual wedding weekend ran so smoothly all thanks Cheryl and Rohit. They were so great at keeping everything organized and on time. I later found out that there were little things that didn't go exactly as I had planned (due to weather or vendors) but my family and I didn't have to deal with any of these things because Cheryl had taken care of them. My parents were fully able to relax and enjoy the wedding- which was priceless to them.
If you are thinking about getting a planner- DO IT! And go with Glitzzy Events! We ended up saving more money and priceless time and energy by having Cheryl plan our wedding. It was a stress free beautiful weekend and my HUSBAND and I couldn't have been happier. -

Cheryl was fantastic to work with. We planned a destination Indian wedding in Austin, and as soon as we met with her and decided to work with her, Cheryl put us at ease. She was very responsive, organized, and fun to work with. She made sure that we were both happy with the decisions we were making, and also worked with us to come up with solutions for any problems as they came up. She and her husband were also a fantastic help especially on the day of the wedding, and helped us pull off a wedding ceremony at one venue and a reception at another venue about 40 mins away without a hitch. We are both so happy that Cheryl made our dream wedding happen, and wholeheartedly recommend her to others planning their wedding in the Austin area. -

Cheryl and her team helped us pull off an Indian fusion wedding and henna ceremony/pre-wedding party a month ago in Texas Hill Country. Cheryl patiently and diligently worked with us for a year, finding vendors and negotiating with them and also negotiating between the sometimes-competing desires of the bride/groom/parents/budget. She did a fantastic job with that, but I think we didn't even really appreciate her value until the events took place. Cheryl pulled together everything flawlessly, and we as well as our guests were awed by how beautiful both days were. And she was cheerful the entire time, despite having to manage stress coming at her from all directions. We are very very glad that Cheryl was a part of our wedding.Glitzzy Events's reply:
Thank you Sai. I totally appreciate your kind words, I enjoyed working with you all to make this special weekend in your life a forever memory. You are an amazing young woman and wish nothing but the best for Bob and yourself. -

Words cannot express how amazing Cheryl was in planning our dream wedding. We found out quickly that Cheryl's experience and talent with weddings and events was exceptional and we wanted her to be a part of our big day. She is wonderful to work with and you can see and feel her passion in what she does. She helped us with creating a vendor list, budget, timeline, guest list, etc and it was very well managed. And she will also make sure you are on top of it! I will always remember the late phone calls that would last hours, meetings at the venue, and all the fun we had while planning our events. She went above and beyond to make sure our day was special and she made our vision come to life. Moreover, her husband Rohit was there in on the action to help and make sure everything ran smoothly. We found out later that during the sangeet we had run out of beer and wine. Rohit went to a nearby grocery store to get more and then made a second trip back to get limes for the beer! We were just in awe - Cheryl and Rohit are a great team and they truly care for you and take care of you. We were able to enjoy our events stress free and our guests enjoyed every minute of it. Many of our guests complimented us on the flow of events and were so impressed with how everything ran. Cheryl and her team made that happen and we couldn't have been happier. We highly recommend Cheryl for any event planning you need!
Thank you Cheryl for making our dream wedding come true and making it such a memorable one! -

A Wedding Coordinator, Extraordinaire
Dear Cheryl and Rohit,
What a wedding! And what a great effort and assist from you guys! A thank you would not suffice for such effort, dedication to work, empathy, and willingness to go the extra mile, so here goes –
An almost yearlong effort of work between you and Nisha came to fruition in an arcade hail of sparklers! Every detail and assist by you, Cheryl, has been noticed and appreciated by the wedding guests from both sides. Your input in negotiating food prices and menu with the different restaurants helped us in controlling our expenses. Your detailed inputs in hour long teleconferences have won over converts, most notably a guy who came in on a horse!
Not enough could be said about Rohit, a true roll up the sleeves and get down to it guy. Your tremendous help all around, which includes getting the limes on Meet and Greet night, was a savior event! You are a great partner for Cheryl in what you guys do. Thanks again! We need to break bread over some wine and good desi food one of these days.
All three of us, Rupa, Priya and myself, thank you in earnest for a job well done. Who knows, maybe a couple of years down the road, there could be one more request for an encore?
Best Wishes,
Vipul, Rupa & Priya

Cheryl at Glitzzy Events was amazing in helping us plan our wedding in a short six month period! Not being local to Austin myself, Cheryl's long experience with planning events, particularly South Asian weddings in Austin was invaluable to our families.
Both Cheryl and Rohit's willingness and patience in understanding our vision for the event, creating and managing a detailed timeline, recommending/ sourcing new vendors and even starting a catering service that would meet our requirements was more than what we could have wished for. This passionate, wholehearted team made our dream wedding come true! We were able to enjoy our big day with all our guests completely stress free! Thank you so much! -

Glitzzy Events
Pros: organized, detail-oriented, creative, communicative, flexible, patient, high-quality
Cons: I can’t think of a single one!
Glitzzy Events managed Pratham Austin’s gala this year on September 17, 2016 at the Hyatt Regency. The program was fairly complex with many codependent moving parts, which had to flow correctly for the night to be considered a success. It’s an understatement to say this year's gala was the best we've ever had. With 530+ attendees, over 15 vendors, and incredibly high expectations, as the organizers, we knew that there would be a lot to manage on the day of the gala, and I was personally prepared to spend the entire evening helping manage logistics. However, Cheryl and her team were fantastic! Every single detail was taken care of and I was actually able to mingle with attendees and enjoy the evening. Every attendee who provided feedback on the event said it was wonderfully organized and run, the credit for which goes to Cheryl.
I was particularly impressed with Cheryl’s ability to manage multiple details with high-quality results. She managed the delivery and set up of appetizers from 5 different restaurants, the photographer, DJ, auction set up, décor, venue details, food and beverage, all with attention to detail and style. No detail is too small for Cheryl to manage. She managed the entire registration process for all our attendees which included the creation of goody bags with auction paddles, training volunteers to register guests, and problem-solving as issues came up. The creation of the goody bags was a huge undertaking and Cheryl and her team pulled it off beautifully. There is no doubt in my mind that when Cheryl takes on an event, she gives it her all. Her commitment to going above and beyond and passion for excellence is unmatched.
In the history of Pratham Austin, we’ve never had a gala that was this successful or this well organized, and much of that had to with Cheryl being at the helm of it. -

Chery helped us plan our sons Big Indian Wedding. Not only did she do an amazing job, she did it with a warm heart, professional demeanor and in a very friendly manner. Cheryl was with us every step of the way. She came to all vendor meetings and managed our budget with great detail. On the day of the event her team created a seamless timeline. Everything was perfect! The wedding turned out beautiful and classy. -

Cheryl was the best. Event planning is something that comes naturally to her and she enjoys doing it . We contacted Cheryl 3 months prior to our wedding and neither of us were in Austin. So Cheryl had to coordinate most of the planning with our vendors, church and reception hall. She would communicate with us frequently and would always reply to our messages in a prompt manner. She would bring up issues/things that we had not planned for or forseen. She was extremely well organized and meticulous
Since I’m from India and my wife is from the US, We had a mixed wedding with a traditional south Indian function ‘Roce’ the night before and a church ceremony followed by a reception the next day
Cheryl helped plan and run all the events (3 of them in the space of 24 hours). For our church ceremony, when the coordinator from the church could not show up for the rehearsal - Cheryl ran it by herself and did an amazing job for the rehearsal and for the wedding the next day
The whole process was well planned (with great attention to detail) from the welcome bags, to arranging transport for guests, to small things like ensuring the bride and groom had food to eat, had gifts brought back to the room - she took care of it all. The decoration for the Roce, and the wedding, the food at both events were fantabulous. In addition, she and her husband and her associates put in not a 100% but 150% effort into everything they did. The result was a dream wedding with the least amount of stress that my wife and myself had to go through.

On July 2nd 2016 my son Karthik married the love of his life Noemi. My wife a perfectionist by nature and I visited Dallas, Houston and Austin to find a wedding planner who is not only a perfectionist but has experience in fusion marriages. We found Cheryl Fernandes in Austin, who we can now say with conviction, represents an epitome of an excellent wedding planner. The first thing you notice about Cheryl is her confidence—a personality trait that she transfers to her clients immediately. The source of her confidence is her incredible ability skills in organization, time-management, and multi-tasking. However, my wife and I are convinced that her commitment to excellence comes more from her spontaneous passion to do the very best. She is knowledgeable in all aspects, from the engagement party to the honeymoon, and everything between. She provided us a vendor list and instinctively helped match us with the vendors that best suit our needs. As a professional wedding planner she has done her homework well and understands the intricacies of an individual's faith, culture, other traditions. This awareness is exemplified in fusion weddings. Cheryl was even able to incorporate elements of the military—my son’s experience—within the wedding. Cheryl is friendly, easily accessible, communicates promptly, has excellent interpersonal skills, and seamlessly works under pressure. Her calm and assuring personality reassured the stressed out bride and groom as well as placated the emotional parents. Her demeanor and grace resembled a close family member. In short, I would not only recommend Cheryl and her team— her wonderful husband Rohit and her delightful son Nathan—with no reservations. We would also call her the moment my other two boys are ready to tie the knot. Cheryl and her family entered our family as a wedding planner and have now become friends forever. -

This is our third event with Cheryl and she has once again done an excellent job! She always has excellent ideas and has a great team that makes the event go very smoothly! Additionally, she does a fantastic job perfecting the smallest details such as the cake flavor and the lighting and really works with her clients to make the event as magical as possible. Good planners are hard to come by and Cheryl is diamond in the rough. Thank you Cheryl for making our events awesome and we will definitely come back to you when we are celebrating another event in our family! -
