    An absolute dream!

    I knew long before having a fiancé to plan a wedding with that I wanted to work with Sarah Khan Event Styling, from seeing her unique touch at my friend’s wedding in 2015. Her talent and scale of events has just expanded. Working with her and her team was a dream. We had a detailed chat about our vision for each of the events and overall budget, and then received an itemized proposal with each part of the design explained (entrance, stage, centerpieces, signage, bridal bouquet, groom boutonnière, bridesmaid corsage, etc.). She also made suggestions for what rentals to use (linens, chairs, charger plates, etc.) that will help give a cohesive look to the room. I especially appreciated the extra time she took to understand my desire for a LOTR-inspired reception and brought that vision to life through the custom designed arch, shire-inspired florals, and lush greenery. Every part of the room had something visually interesting for guests to enjoy and the overall room had a beautifully cohesive look. I am super grateful to her and the team for all their hard work with set up and break down of the room. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! We would work with SKES again in a heartbeat for any future events.

    SKES - creating magic everyday

    SKES did our Mehndi and Wedding during Labor Day weekend. We booked with her a year and half out and her team was very crucial in bringing the whole aesthetic together. The Mehndi design was fairly uncomplicated. We had a backyard event with a pool in the middle. SKES did an ornate backdrop with stools that added to the festive vibe of the day. There were lanterns hanging from trees, and these very cute Rickshaw centerpieces.

    For the wedding day, SKES suggested a very unique color palette very early on – it was mauve, blush, and nudes contrasted with ash and black. Fahmid and I were instantly thinking “Paris at night” vibes, and boy did they deliver! The ceremony took place with a riser in the middle of the room, with an organza partition that SKES bedazzled in house. The reception was brought together with the most ornate centerpieces, lots of candlelight, and some lighting sorcery, that gave the entire room the most romantic atmosphere. I wish I could sit in the room forever and ever!

    Hello Syeda,

    Congratulations again to you and your husband! You looked amazing and were such a darling client from the start! We feel so fortunate to have been trusted by you to handle the installation for such a big day and start to the new chapter of your lives!

    Best Regards

    Amazing Experience

    I cannot begin to thank Sarah, Amena, and everyone at SKES for their work for my wedding. There was not a detail out of place when it came to decor, items, or even things I had specifically asked for decor wise. Amena was very patient and helpful every step of the way.

    Intimate Floral Design Perfection

    Words are insufficient to describe the thoughtfulness and exquisite execution of Sarah and Bharati for our intimate 14 person affair but as an event business owner, I can wholeheartedly say that whatever I dreamed, Sarah and Bharati took and expanded it beyond our expectations. It was perfect because they listened to us, they were prepared and they knew that the floral design had to nail and represent the blending of two cultures. Was it an investment? Yes but when I look back and think about the quality we received, frankly it was more than fairly priced.

    Stunning florals and a great team!

    Working with Sarah Khan during my elopement in September 2020 was a DREAM. I had a few broad ideas of what I wanted but seeing them take that and run with it was amazing. Not only does their work speak for itself, they are wonderful humans to work with! Cannot recommend Sarah Khan Event Styling more for your elopement, micro or large wedding!

    Wonderful, flexible team

    We hired Sarah Khan to handle our mehndi and to construct the mandap for our wedding ceremony. Not only did they do a beautiful job both nights, but they were also so flexible. The day before the wedding we realized we needed an extra chair and coffee table on the stage for the wedding ceremony, and Sarah Khan was able to pull and reuse inventory for the mehndi that matched our wedding decor.

    The most caring, thoughtful, and detailed experience!!

    We are so grateful to Sarah and her team for working with us on our wedding. We were definitely hard to work with as I was abroad most of the year while my husband was busy with med school here, so it was hard to get ahold of us together for more than a couple days at a time. Sarah has built a grand reputation for herself, which definitely speaks for itself, that let me put full faith in her and completely let go of wedding stress, anxiety, etc. I was only ever excited to see the reveal on the big day and never felt even an ounce of worry. Her team was always quick to respond and beyond flexible to make the little details most important to us happen. I could keep going for days with my review of her work and services and but the bottom line is that your investment will speak for itself on your big day if you work with her!! It’s as simple as that, the proof is very much in the pudding (or the kheer)!!!

    Exceptional

    Our experience was nothing short of exceptional. From the very first call to the day of of our event, all staff members were extremely professional, respectful, and ready to cater to our needs. They understood our budget and worked around our needs to deliver top notch decorations.
    Staff were communicative during the entire process and made good decisions, when needed, to deliver on their promise.
    We highly recommend them!!!

    M & S Wedding 7-7-19

    My family were not as knowledgeable about wedding decor. We were so lucky to have come across Sarah Khan Event Styling. We had our initial conversation with Batul. She is truly amazing. Very professional, prompt and extremely patient. I am sure we bothered her 100 times and each time she was prompt to respond and very polite to explain everything.
    To execute our decor, we had the pleasure of working with Bharti. She is incredible. I am sure we also bothered her 100 times and she was just as polite, prompt and patient as Batul. Both them took so much stress out of us. On the day of the wedding when we saw the decoration, we were stunned to see how beautiful everything was. We can't thank both of them and the entire Sarah Khan team enough for all what they did for us. We would highly recommend Sarah Khan Event Styling. They are simply amazing!

    Best event decorator in DMV area AND beyond!

    Sarah Khan and her team were absolutely incredible. Planning a wedding can be quite stressful, but the SKES team made the experience so easy and effortless for me and my entire family. Sarah was so incredibly attentive, calming, and easy to work with! Aside from a few of my own inputs, I asked her to take creative control of the decor since I was so stressed planning other things. It was the best decision I ever made. The team managed to execute every detail so perfectly that it went beyond my wildest dreams. Despite my Mehndi being located in Pennsylvania on a Friday night, and Reception in Delaware the following evening, everything went so smoothly and seamlessly as far as setting up for both events.

    I got married back in April, but I still get compliments from family and friends about how stunning the decor was for both my Mehndi and Reception. I am so eternally grateful for Sarah for being a creative goddess and her team for being so fabulous. Thank you SO much - you guys are simply the best.

    Sarah Khan's decoration and vision will make your day beautiful

    Sarah and her team were amazing in their initial ideas, their desire to understand what we wanted for our wedding, and executing on that combined vision completely. We could not be happier with the beauty and quality of everything that was done for our wedding. Everything looked beautiful and exuded the utmost quality.

    Thank you for everything Sarah, Amena, and team!

    Professional & Dedicated

    Our experience with Sarah Khan Event Styling for our family event exceeded our expectations!! Not only were they responsive i.e. getting back to us promptly but they were professional throughout the whole process. On the day of the event, the decor was absolutely stunning and even more beautiful then we expected. Our team lead, Amena was on top of everything, she went out of her way to coordinate with other vendors to make sure everything was absolutely the way we wanted it. I highly recommend Sarah Khan Event Styling for your next event!

    Thank you for creating dream wedding!

    Thank you to Sarah Khan and her amazing team for bringing the wedding of my dreams to life! I could not have asked for a better team to work with. Every detail was exactly as I wanted it to be and that much more. Sarah Khan went above and beyond to add in extra details to make everything perfect. I felt completely at ease the weekend of my wedding knowing that her and her team would make sure everything would go as planned. The SKES team was punctual, professional, worked closely with the venues, and absolutely worth the money. I shopped around with other vendors and felt the most comfortable with the SKES team and felt I would get the most out of the decor with the money spent. Sarah Khan unfortunately had a death in her family right before my wedding and she called to let me know and immediately a new team lead stepped in and followed up with me and made sure everything went exactly as planned and it did! This gave me so much comfort and I was able to go on with the weekend worry free. Thank you so much to Sarah Khan and her team for making my wedding the most beautiful and memorable.

    Great vendor, would highly recommend!

    Sarah Khan Event Styling decorated my pre-wedding functions and I wouldn't have had it any other way. Their designs were absolutely stunning and their customer service was great. I knew what general colors I wanted for my events, however their team helped create a design and vision tailored specifically for each function. They also helped work with my budget and walked me through each step of the decor process. I believe their creative design and customer service set them apart from other wedding vendors. I would highly recommend them! As a bride you have a million things on your plate - with Sarah Khan's team, you can be rest assured that your decor process will be seamless.

    Ideal wedding designer

    My wedding was last August and it was on a pretty big scale. I wanted the florals and decor to be perfect. I saw Sarah’s work at a friend’s wedding and knew she would be the perfect person to go with. Her team did an impeccable job and transformed every space into the wedding of my dreams!!!

    SKE was the best decision I made for my niece's wedding & mehndi. I love styling and design and I'm super picky, however when it came to SKE and her team- they were AMAZING! From their level of professionalism and organization to staying on track with all the details and changes I sent their way to even staying behind and helping me on the day of- I'm floored. Every person I encountered was top notch- from Sarah to Batul to Bharati to Autumn. They go above and beyond and really take the time to listen to what the client wants. I give them a super duper 100/10! Love you guys and may you continue to prosper and grow'

    Sarah Khan and her team did an amazing job on my sister’s wedding. She worked closely with my sister to make sure her vision came alive. She made the wedding completely stress free and was absolutely great to work with! I’m so grateful that Sarah was there for my sister. All the guests were amazed at her work. I already booked her for my wedding next year. I highly recommend her anyone.

    Sarah Khan and her team were one of the best decisions I made when planning my wedding! They did a phenomenal job! Our wedding was 3 days long (mehendi, shaadi and walima) and all held in the same hotel and ballroom. I was so worried that each day would look and feel the same and Sarah and her team made sure that would not be the case at all! We worked with both Sarah and Bharati and after one meeting with them each, they knew exactly the style I wanted for each event. We wanted to keep the mehendi vibrant and fun, the shaadi I wanted a rustic romantic garden look and the walima we wanted a classic and elegant reception. Each event looked equally beautiful and elegant but yet different and unique. The mehendi hall had people in complete awe! Every little detail I envisioned, Sarah's team brought to life. The florals on each day were stunning! Sarah made my mehendi flower jewelry and bridal bouquet, both were so gorgeous! Bharati assembled the flowers on the shaadi cake and did so exactly how I envisioned. They even had bird cages and garden gates on the shaadi for the rustic garden feel! And the walima decor was so warm and elegant, and truly set the tone of love and happiness in the room.

    Not only did everything look amazing, but the over all experience was so flawless. Sarah and Bharati were so helpful, welcomed us to their warehouse more than once and was able to work with my husband and in-laws who planned the walima in in Texas where they live. The fact that such a beautiful walima was created after meeting with my husband in person only once is incredible and speaks volumes of Sarah and her amazing team. Honestly from the bottom of my heart I can’t thank you enough! From the moment we met with Sarah and Bharati to the end of the walima, you treated us like family, gave us respect and listened to what we wanted, and delivered more than we imagined! Thank you so much!

    I was floored to be able to work with Sarah for a reception in our family! It was so exciting because I have loved her style since I found her company, a few years ago. Her expertise and eye for detail was incredible. She helped make the planning a breeze for me. Her team was very professional, even our venue was impressed with how well the team coordinated everything for us.

    Looking forward to attending more events by this incredible team! Thank you so much, Sarah! We couldn't have done it without you. It was beautiful.

    Our 500-person Hindu/Sikh wedding took place in August 2017. We used SKES for the Saatak, Sangeet, Sikh&Hindu ceremonies, and reception. The one word I use to describe Sarah is "goddess."
    I was a busy bride-to-be (also why I am writing this review almost a year later), and had little time to plan a large, double-ceremony wedding. Sarah was great at communication through the entire design process, even when I wasn't. She offered beautiful and practical ideas, using my pinterest board as inspiration. I wanted to keep within a budget, and Sarah worked with me and my family to use our budget in the most effective places. I wanted to have my Sangeet outdoors (between 2 massive buildings), and Sarah and Bharati strategized an elegant floral backdrop for our event, taking into consideration that the wind tunnel created by those buildings would not allow for typical fabric draping. We had a very tight schedule with back-to-back wedding ceremonies, and she was always timely with decor. She made my dream of a suspended mandap a reality, and worked with the hotel to figure out the necessary specifications and cost. When the hotel staff did not deliver our reception hall table arrangements FOUR days before the wedding, Sarah took control, and used the hotel staff's login info to complete the table arrangements herself (definitely not in her job description). I was so blown away by the decor, that I actually texted Sarah DURING my wedding reception because I was just that grateful. Multiple people came up to me during the reception to ask who my decorator was.

    I recommend her without any hesitation to anyone who is looking for beautiful & elegant decor, a trustworthy friend through the wedding process, and someone who goes above and beyond her call of duty as a decorator. She does not just decorate empty rooms, she creates works of art and feeling. I trust and love Sarah so much, that she was 1 of only 2 wedding vendors that we used again for my little sister's wedding.

    Sarah Khan and her team are simply the best. They went so far above our expectations to make our events beautiful - I can't thank them enough! We hired Sarah for three separate events: a nikkah, Western wedding and walima. All three were completely different and so beautiful. It was really easy to communicate my vision with Sarah - she was fantastic at translating vague descriptions into the pictures I had in my head. Her floral displays are so elegant and she has a great eye for selecting flowers to complement a space. I also appreciated her willingness to work within the budget we discussed at the beginning. I had never worked with a decorator before, but now I think I'm spoiled for life.

    Sarah and her team are amazing to work with and bring you vision to life beautifully! We felt very confident and relaxed throughout the whole process that we were in good hands! Would recommend them to everyone especially if you don’t want to stress that what you select is what you will get without having to keep checking in!

    Sarah did such a phenomenal job with our wedding - coming with ideas of her own, open to our ideas and thoughts, and helping facilitate every step of the way. Her ability to build creative, beautiful spaces is unmatched - she completely transform our both our home and our wedding hall for events, giving each event its own flavor and style. AND she was so nice, kind, and flexible through it all. 10/10 would recommend!
