We got married in October 2016 in Houston, and Shena was the reason I kept my sanity leading up to the festivities, truly. All of our planning was done remotely with a few trips to Houston when it fit our schedules. It was a big fat Indian wedding. She kept my Indian family in check and made my non-Indian husband and family feel so cared for and comfortable. She took the time to get to know us and truly catered her planning style to our personalities. When I told her I wanted to bring in some of my husband's culture into the events, she went above and beyond to make our Sangeet just that. When I asked for a somewhat unique mandap, she made the entire ceremony one of the most beautiful settings I could have ever imagined right in my parent's backyard. My parent's friends still talk about how magical the decor was at our ceremony. When we came to an aspect that I honestly didn't care about, Shena heard me and took it from there. During the weekend of wedding, when all my clothes were slightly big on me because I had lost more weight than expected (thanks wedding stress!), she sat there and pinned me into my clothes to make sure I looked my BEST. AND to top it all off, she ran each event on time and smoothly to where I was actually able to enjoy my wedding! She even made sure we ate at every single event. I could not recommend Shena and her team more, thank you for everything!

I am a Catering Sales Manager at a Four Diamond Property - Hilton Houston Post Oak and have had the opportunity to work with Shena on numerous occassions. She is very proffession and truly cares about here brides. She is very familiar with the Indian wedding market and this comes through in the details of her planning and helping the hotel team understand the groups needs.

The entire team was amazing! I can honestly say that I got to enjoy my wedding because I didn't have to worry about a single thing - which is what they promised me at the very beginning. Shena handled every task that was thrown at her with professionalism and was there to make sure through out the night that Kevin and I were having a great time. I can't say enough about them, I was lucky enough to find them through another friend and they helped me with the planning as well. I highly recommend their services!
