User2923141 Sent on 12/22/2016They did an amazing job! The decorations for our event were wonderful, everyone was impressed!
Henna did a great job putting my vision into the decorations and she delivered stunning results. So glad I chose them. You won't regret working with Henna, she is truly professional and does a great job.
Highly recommended! -

Amer Sent on 01/31/2013Great value, great expertise, and more importantly they are not willing to comprise on quality. I've used them for my wedding reception and now our 1st anniversary and have been thrilled with the results. Bottom line you can't go wrong with professional party planners. -

User1388276 Sent on 10/19/2013I originally did not want to hire PPP for a few reasons, but had some last minute things I needed, so I hired them.
My main issues when I first spoke to them were that:
-they were a bit too pricey
-their e-mails were very unprofessional which made me feel uncomfortable. They almost always ended with "Sent from my iPhone" and often times they did not reply with even a full sentence.
-their portfolio was only on facebook, which I do not have, so it was difficult to pick the design that I wanted.
-I wanted 36" baloons (something like this: http://rifferaff.typepad.com/.a/6a00d834557c7069e20120a91111eb970b-800wi) but my planner, Lala, told me it was childish. This was something I had always wanted so I did it anyways, but I used someone else because I felt uncomfortable asking her because she told me that.
At the last moment, when I needed to hire them, they did deliver on what I asked, which was nice. I did pay a lot though. Though their e-mails were still very unprofessional. Here is an example:
"Yes ill send a contract - u have to do a deposit today via chase or PayPal
Sent from my iPhone"
If you don't care about professionalism, but want a cheaper south asian decorator, try Mumtaz Decorators. They're also unprofessional, but at least the price is cheaper. -

Would not recommend
I debated even writing a review because it’s now been over a year since my wedding, but I still haven’t ordered my wedding photos because of how upset they make me with how terribly our decor went. I just hope nobody has to experience what we did, and feels as terribly about their wedding photos looking back.
Up until the week of the event, Henna would call/message me saying that she didn’t think the decor was going to be enough to get the grand look that I wanted and had me add on an entryway curtain, stage candles, runner, etc. We were already over our budget that we had discussed with Henna, and since my parents were helping us pay, I got freaked out and paid hundreds extra out of pocket to add these things. On the day of, the entryway drapes weren’t even above the open doors, (but I know that has to do with the ones the hall decided to prop open). That was just a needlessly stressful experience she put me through, but I digress.
I will admit, the design I wanted was more minimalist, understated, and elegant so that us and our guests would stand out against the backdrop of something lighter. Henna and I had discussed multiple times how she’d take extra caution in creating a clean look in order to achieve that. What we got was worse than a DIY project, with gold PVC pipes duct taped together and an ugly green rod on top. It looked terrible, and truly was embarrassing. She recommended putting hot pink and purple uplighting on our backdrop which looked extremely tacky as well. The whole look felt so cheap and I had to pay someone to edit it out of all of our photos.
Most embarrassing of all that I will never forget was that the duct tape RIPPED and our backdrop FELL ON TOP OF US as we were taking pictures with our friends. Our DJ had to lend us duct tape while family members got on chairs to try and tape it back together. I understand that mistakes happen, however it is clear the backdrop that was set up was extremely flimsy to begin with.
Truly more than anything, our wedding decor just looked like a very cheap DIY project and not like a service we paid a professional thousands to set up after months of conversation about details and work. I can’t recommend enough that you look for alternatives if you’re preparing for a wedding.
The photo with the gold backdrop was what I asked for and the the white with pink lights is what I got. -

User2793649 Sent on 09/30/2016Professional Party Planner was in charge of both my mehndi and wedding. Unfortunately, my experience with them was unprofessional to say the least. As a client, my responsibilities were to share with Henna my vision of how I wanted my stage decorations to look on my wedding events. Henna did not deliver on my wishes and actually ignored many of my requests. Few things being that the curtains on the mehndi day all looked like one colour. I asked her for specific hanging crystals to hang from center of the stage which too was not delivered. On the wedding day I payed for a bouquet to hold while walking in during my entrance which I never received. My family had to pull the runner off last minute because she didn't tape it down and everyone was falling. The centerpieces were not put in the right spots as I had asked. During the meetings she made it seem like she would do everything. Henna didn't keep any of the pictures I sent her of the design I wanted. There came a point where I drew out my stage which was extremely detail oriented and sent her pictures of all the materials, specific colour pallets, and centerpiece design. I felt more of a decorator then herself. She was very hard to talk with especially since I was communicating with her all the way from Canada. Not only was she rude to me, but also to my family members and my husband. I was also informed by the banquet hall staff members that she was quite rude with them too. I had to apologize to them as this was very embarrassing for me. She made my wedding very hard for me and extremely stressful. I would definitely not recommend Henna to anyone for any type of event. If you want to be happy with your event, then you should stay away from Professional Party Planner!
