A Bride's Mafia

to me as a bride. When it came to the weekend of the wedding, Nidhi and her team were absolutely amazing as well! Everything ran perfectly on time. Minor hiccups were dealt with easily. Multiple of my guests told me what a great job Nidhi did and I couldn't agree more. Would definitely recommend A Bride's Mafia!!

ng was going to be extremely difficult, which is how we reached out to A Bride's Mafia and were put in touch with Abby. She was obviously helpful with suggesting vendors, but what was really so helpful was that while my husband and I had a several ideas of what we were looking for, Abby was able to see the bigger picture and help guide us with various decisions. We also went with several vendors whom she didn't suggest and found on our own, and there were no issues. She was extremely skilled at giving her opinion when we were floundering and stepping back when necessary. She also knows more about Indian weddings than even my parents do (I'm Indian, my husband is not), which was SO helpful! We had her services primarily for the month of our wedding and the wedding day, although she also had several meetings with us in the year leading up to our wedding to help with detail planning. During the month of, she refined the timeline for our wedding day, contacted all our vendors to run through the timeline, and she took over all the coordination of the wedding day. Her organization and communication were spot on, and on the day of the wedding, I, my husband, and our families, were all so grateful to be able to just enjoy the day and not be concerned about any logistics at all. At the start of wedding planning, both my husband and I weren't sure if we should get a wedding planner or if it was a good investment, but after the entire wedding process and working with Abby, if I had to do it again, she would be the first person I would re-hire.

en care of. I can imagine it must have been hard coordinating a wedding in a different city (we got married in San Diego) but they were up for the challenge and the event was so seamless. We wanted to be well fed and relaxed during our wedding weekend and they made sure of it! Thanks so much for an incredible weekend!

had 2 ceremonies in one day - one catholic and one hindu. So, it was a LOT to coordinate. I cannot tell you how much Abby did for us from helping with decorations to keeping everyone on a timeline to running to my house to get my slip last minute because I forgot it. She was absolutely amazing. And the best thing about Abby is her personality - she is very professional yet so fun to work with and she has such a calming presence. She is one cool cucumber! Without a doubt, book A Bride's Mafia if you get the chance. I promise you, you will not be disappointed. Worth every single dollar!

d cost-effective. We had numerous issues with communications with our wedding venue and were quite impressed with Nidhi's ability to handle the conflict with ease. She is extremely professional and a strong advocate for her client. She is exactly the type of person you would want in your corner when you embark on the wedding planning process -- the reality of wedding planning is that little and big fires will arise and I observed Nidhi effectively doused these with confidence. She troubleshoots problems effortlessly and ensured our wedding day was perfect. I would highly recommend her to anyone without reservations.

tting together a seamless timeline, and even advising me on where I should save my money and what was worth a splurge. Highly recommend!

vendors for us, starting with the florist and the horse for the Barat, band, DJ, hair, makeup and ending up with a worry free wedding that the Mother of the Bride enjoyed. Thank you!

From the minute I met Nidhi, I knew she was the perfect wedding planner for us and honestly for anyone. She is responsive, professional, kind, and honest. Nidhi makes your ideas come to life, and is a wonderful listener. She also gives you advice on things that may or may not work well (but is happy to go along with whatever you end up wanting to do). Issues or unforeseen things DO happen at your wedding, it's just the nature of large events. That being said, I have no idea what the issues were at our wedding because NIdhi simply took care of it. My entire family ad bridal party was at ease throughout the whole rehearsal and wedding day. Many of our guests said it was the most well run and enjoyable wedding they have been too, and we owe it all to Nidhi!

stions. Day of event she made everything run so smooth. My wife and I had nothing to worry about and had such a great time because Nidhi was behind the scenes making everything work.

o the courthouse, get the legality done and call it a wedding. But things changed and I was able to have my dream wedding only coz of Nidhi. She connected me to some of the best vendors in Cincinnati. I had never imagined I could have the most beautiful mehndi on my hands in the U.S. My guests had never imagined there could be an Indian wedding with everthing being just on time. Ceremony in the world's largest indoor gazebo, decorations, dhol player for the baraat,heart shaped sparkle, Antakshari, Hot Jalebi, sweet pan, yummy dosas...can't believe it all happened. I would highly recommend Nidhi to all the nervous brides coz you always need that special friend to take care of everything and just want it perfect.

went flawless. Ashima made a great decision on selecting her our wedding planner. I will recommend to every one. My grade for Nidhi is A+. Ramesh Goyal

her team is wonderful. Summer/Heidi are perfect for makeup/hair, coming up with the best look I could have ever imagined for my wedding day. The decor and design that Nidhi developed were beyond what I would have ever dreamed. We couldn't have done it without her!

ad a lot of experience and great connections. Throughout our planning phase we consulted with her and she connected us with talented people from florist to videographers. Even though we did not hire her as a full time planner she was always responsive to our calls and emails. But Nidhi's strength is on the day of the wedding. She took charge and ran everything smoothly. She really took care of the bride and groom making sure they rested and ate before and during the wedding. She protected me as the Mother-of-the-bride so that I can enjoy the day and what a beautiful wedding it was Thank you Nidhi!!

e sure everything ran extremely smoothly. She relieved a lot of the stress that happens when planning a wedding. We highly recommend her.

of the vendors across many events with different themes. Most of all, she did a fantastic job with tricky situations (particularly with parents/the venue) and continued to be positive and supportive!

t need to. She was also thorough in the weeks leading up to the wedding bringing everything together and having us make decisions before-hand so we didn't have to worry about it during the wedding day.

process and I wanted the same for my mother & bridesmaids. I also knew that if things weren’t going as planned or if the “s#!t hit the fan” I wouldn’t be able to mentally/emotionally handle that all day then give my fiancé and our ceremony the calmness, focus, and love he and I both deserved at that moment. We couldn’t afford a wedding planner but made sacrifices in our budget to accommodate a day-of-coordinator. We interviewed with 3 others before meeting Nidhi and for us based on the meeting and her reviews she was “the one”. Nidhi was available and responded so quick throughout the entire planning process (although we didn’t use her full planning service she was available to help in any way she could as we came up with mini-disasters and we had a couple of in-person planning meetings as well). She had an answer or idea for every question or issue we encountered. Then there was the actual wedding day- I had NO idea just how important of a player she would be in making our day even more beautiful than we could have imagined. The whole day I remained inside getting “my beauty on” with my girls, no nerves, no panic, no worries. Unbeknownst to me the $h!t did hit the fan outside ALL day, but with Nidhi and her sister/assistant there running around (I’ll bet this was the most stressful wedding she’s every coordinated) I never knew a thing. From the moment I stepped outside it was nothing but perfection and fun- I was able to enjoy the ENTIRE night and didn’t have to worry about one single thing. Nidhi made sure everything we wanted happened and made sure we got to actually be present in the moment and enjoy the night we’d worked all year preparing for. It wasn’t until the day after that everyone informed me of all the craziness and work that went into making it a dream night. You see, in the days leading up to the wedding I somehow forgot to email her my design/drawings and lists of how I wanted the tables set up and different areas played out (welcome table, escort table, jenga signing area, etc). And no one else knew how I wanted things done. But somehow with a 30 second conversation and millions of bags and boxes of unlabeled decor she was able to create the exact feel I wanted for everything. I can’t even imagine what would have happened without her- other than I would have spent the whole day running around outside decorating and fixing everything and had no time to get my hair/make-up done and photos and definitely would not have enjoyed the day. I then don’t think I could have released all that stress from the day enough to enjoy the night. I wish there were enough space for me to explain all that she did, but to sum it all up girls- I highly recommend using a wedding planner if you can afford it, if not then find a way to hire a DOC (I promise if you work to save a little on invites, flowers, etc you can re-allocate some of your budget to allow for a DOC)! Interview with several and read their reviews, even the lengthy ones. Almost every vendor I chose was based on other brides’ reviews and I feel like I got what I expected from each of them Except for Nidhi- she was SO MUCH MORE than I expected! My other piece of advise- be kind to your DOC and be sure she gets ALL your plans/designs ahead of time ;)

es Mafia for a full service wedding planning package. I found them on an online wedding site similar to this one. They had wonderful reviews and when I browsed the website I realized she has all the connection you could possible need or want a wedding planner to have. I was so impressed and amazed by the vendors and website I decided what can it hurt to have a free consultation. The worst that would happen we wouldn't click and I would go home with a budget to start me in the right direction. Once I met Nidhi at her office it was like she just know exactly what I wanted and how I wanted it! She was amazing, she is so nice and attentive to what you are asking for I just couldn't pass up on her service. At first I was not sure how much I was going to need her or what I would need her for. It turned out I needed her for everything. If I were to recommend a package to get if you are considering a planner it would definitely be full service. I would have never made it to my wedding day if it weren't for her. Not to mention the day of! She made sure everything went smoothly and I did not have a single worry on my mind. A Bride's Mafia is the best decision I could have made for my special day! Not only did she pay for herself in discounts I received from vendors she works closely with, she is worth her weight in gold on the day of the wedding! I feel so blessed she was a part of my big day and wouldn't have changed that for anything! She has become a great friend and she is amazing at what she does!

nd I didn't have to think about a thing the day of, which was exactly what I wanted. The room was set up perfectly, she kept us moving during the event and took care of a few snags we had. She was professional and enthusiastic.

at what she does and I wouldn't change anything about my wedding!

d passionate person. After thinking about it for a bit we decided we wanted to get married at The Elements and have her as our wedding planner. Seriously it was one of the best decisions for us. We had no clue what we wanted for any of our vendors or anything in general. If it wasn’t for Nidhi there would have been so much stress! Planning a wedding is very stressful and she took so much of it away by being so helpful. She helped us find so many vendors and highly recommended them. She recommended us to our florist, make-up artist, D.J., minister, cake, limo, etc etc! If it weren’t for her we would have had a lot harder of a time finding people that we could really count on. We loved our vendors she recommended so much! She also helped us with the planning process so much and made sure everything was going smoothly. Any questions and she was there with answers. She was on top of everything and made sure things went smoothly. Everything looked so beautiful and went so wonderfully and I owe so much to her. I highly recommend picking Nidhi at The Elements for your wedding planner. She is so delightful and truly made our day special!

nd only had to make one trip to Cincinnati!! She was able to set everything up in one day including cake tasting, hair/make up, engagement pictures,& flowers. She listens to every detail you have in mind, is very good at getting back to your emails/texts. All of her vendors work very well together, and most important of all your wedding day is stress free:) Highly recommended!

perfect timing. We went to the show, picked out our band (The Company---the best by the way!!!!) My mom said she wanted a wedding planner, and so we decided to set up a consultation with Nidhi. BEST DECISION EVER!!! We met with her one time and knew we had no need to meet with anyone else. She was so likable from the first time we sat down with her. Nidhi is absolutely dynamite! From our first meeting in the fall all the way to throughout the year it took to plan and get everything together, she held our hand on every last detail. She totally brought our vision to real life and made our day everything we dreamed about and more! Talk about stress free, how she does it, I will never know! Listen up ladies, if you can dream it, she will make it happen!!!! Nidhi is a gem, one of a kind, and I am eternally grateful to her for making the most important night of our lives a reality!!!!

my crazy questions! She turned us over to KRISTIN who ended up being THE BEST INVESTMENT we could have made for our wedding!!! She met with us and our vendors whenever we needed her to and always provided quick response to any email, text or phone call. When it came down to the day of the wedding she was at the venue bright and early and had taken charge in getting everything set up, we brought in tons of our own items so it was A LOT of work! Only a couple of issues came up that day and she extinguished them immediately...namely the way one of the vendors had set up decorations on the gazebo where our ceremony was to take place - she knew it wasn't what I had envisioned and she somehow magically made it all come together and everything was exactly how we were hoping it would be and then some!! It turned out more beautiful than I ever could have imagined and she kept all the stress away from us that day so we could focus on our special day :-) She made sure our ceremony ran smooth and she even hung around longer than she was initially supposed to just to make sure everything was set to go for the rest of the night. I can't say enough wonderful things - KRISTIN is the best!!!!

on and went ahead with retaining Kristen Decker's services through A Bride's Mafia. Our wedding was, shall we say, unconventional. The ceremony was traditional enough, all right, but the reception? We had a Moroccan theme. In a tent. With fabric draping, ostrich-feather centerpieces, a chocolate fountain...the works. We had a mehndi artist. We had a hookah bar. We had belly dancers. We had fire spinners. We had QUITE a production, and I have to say, I don't know that I could have pulled it off without Kristen. She (and her associate, Ally) did absolutely everything I needed and more. She picked up the flowers (which I discovered the week before weren't going to be delivered). She set up the ceremony site exactly as I'd requested with minimal direction. She managed and directed over a dozen vendors with aplomb and good cheer. She managed the "difficult personalities" every wedding has. She staked out the kids' area in the tent (I mean literal stakes, bamboo poles in the ground with wrapped fabric to create a play area for the kids) and set up the TV for them, which involved dealing with the guys who set up the generator. And her assistant Ally even figured out how to bustle my reception dress - and trust me, this was no mean feat. She managed the timeline, monitoring it as we went, and ensured the reception schedule stayed on track. She packed up the wedding gifts for us and even helped with some of the tear-down/ clean-up. She was fabulous, and so was her assistant. This is after Nidhi and A Bride's Mafia got me some serious discounts on a number of wedding items/services (which they did before I had even committed to purchasing their services - how's that for commitment to you and your special day?) If you want to actually remember your wedding, let alone enjoy it, this is the best money you will spend. You'll probably recoup a significant portion of it in savings that you won't get any other way. My new husband agrees. Bottom line: I felt like one of my sisters was helping me out, and was excited to be part of my big day. You won't go wrong with this company, and you'll definitely get it right if you have Kristen in your corner.

er backwards to make your vision come true. I had a medium size budget, and I feel like my wedding (rehearsal dinner, ceremony and reception) turned out just as beautiful, classy and fun as other weddings I have been too that have had 3x my budget. If you are considering using a wedding planner, do yourself a favor and use Nidhi!!!!! You will not be sorry!!!

ose brides (like myself when I first started planning) who aren't really sure where to start. Nidhi Bedi is so accommodating to her brides! Anything you need, just ask cause she'll either do it for you or knows someone that will! I was stressed at some points, as many brides are, and just sitting down and chatting with her was much appreciated. She just knew what to say to make me realize it will all be ok. She is extremely organized and on top of everything. We all know that a lot goes into wedding planning and things can be easily forgotten. She makes sure to stay on top of each and every detail and will email you to keep you on track. I can't recommend Nidhi enough. If you go with her, I am confident you will not be disappointed. She gave my husband and I our perfect dream wedding!

ed to work with her. She is the reason we booked our venue at Elements. She was immediately so warm and comfortable and made me feel like she just got me. She knew exactly what I wanted and did so much to help make this dream come true for us. She was so accomodating from the food to the decor to just being there to keep us stress free the day of! We had a few hiccups right before our ceremony and you never would've known had I not found out after the fact. I trusted she would take great care of us and did just that! My husband wasn't in to the whole planning process but he definitely wanted to attend every meeting we had with Nidhi! Shes just a sweetheart and you would be lucky to have such an incredible person help plan your wedding!

a few things from the original wedding plan and Nidhi was more than willing to work with us. Wonderful wedding experience!

it. Every request was made possible and I had no fear anything would be less than perfect when I put matters into their hands. Wedding planning was made easy with this organization.

de throughout the whole process. When we first started planning, we were worried that it was going to be super stressful. Because of her, we were wrong. Even though she is working on a ton of weddings, you will feel like you are one of her only ones. She is quick to respond to any question you might have, puts you in touch with the right people, and works with a team of experts that were all amazing. She made the entire process so much fun and we felt so taken care of on our wedding day. She made sure we had drinks all night, and even brought our food and cake to us. That was so helpful because it gave us a lot of extra time to talk to our guests. There was not ONE thing that went wrong on our day and we owe that to her and the staff at Elements. We just had to show up and everything was taken care of for us. I received tons of compliments from people, especially my bridal party who got to see her in action, on how amazing she was.

ally wanted to be there for us to make everything we wanted happen. From the beginning she said she always wants all her brides to have the wedding of their dreams, even if it seems out of budget. When it came to certain things she def saved us on deals! Every vendor we went to and used when we mentioned we were working with her all had wonderful compliments about her. I could honestly say she is the best person at her job. She finds a way to make us feel special and everyone of our family members and bridal party thought she was amazing. I would without any hesitation say if you want your wedding to be perfect she is there for you and will help you and your groom have the wedding of your dreams.

wedding went on very smoothly. I will recommend hiring her as an event planner to all of my friends.

ve been possible without her. She was so friendly and so approachable. She delivered everything in a prompt, professional, and timely fashion. Planning a wedding from another state while finishing my PhD was proving to be impossible until we met Nidhi. She helped give us the perfect wedding and we are just simply over the moon! Hire Nidhi and a Brides Mafia to help make your special day simply unforgettable! You will not be sorry!!!

cinnati, Ohio, I trusted Nidhi to put together options and ideas for me and, in the end, she made everything I wanted come true. From a year in advance to the day of the wedding, she constantly stayed in touch, anticipated anything I might need, and made everything go smoothly and stress-free!

r met. I felt that I developed a group of friends and family members throughout working with A Bride's Mafia. Any idea that came to mind, they were eager to make it happen... and they did. This group of vendors will literally make a dream wedding come true. Nidhi is unbelievably good at what she does. She helped us plan our wedding for a little over a year. We never once saw or heard her complain, argue, seem disappointed or get stressed- even though her job is SO demanding and she takes ALL of the stress away from everyone else. She made the planning process easy- (which is HUGE considering that we had a 3 day wedding weekend with over 500 guests at every event)- and throughout the wedding weekend, Nidhi made sure that every event was on time, everything was in its proper place, and she foresaw any problem before it happened. Our wedding was flawless, and all of our guests noticed. I can't say enough about how talented Nidhi is. She knows all of the right people, and she is a perfect combination of efficient and calm. She is truly the best. Some of our guests coming from abroad and from larger metropolitan areas (NYC, DC, etc.) were wanting Nidhi to help them. Nidhi introduced us to all of our vendors- all through A Bride's Mafia. Our vendors were AMAZING. Every single person was incredible and every vendor was so full of talent and love. A Bride's Mafia is very much a wedding lifesaver, and very much the best in the business. I'm so happy to call them friends.

de happen (and for a very little cost and sometimes no cost at all). It is important to her that this whole process is as stress free as you want it to be. She makes you feel like you are part of the Mafia family. Nidhi is by far the biggest blessing of the entire wedding day (besides my husband lol). Without her organization and constant control, I would have been frantic about the last minute rain before our completely outdoor wedding ceremony and reception. Nidhi told me it would be beautiful regardless and she made it happen. The vendors she works with have an abundant amount of respect for her work, her opinions, and her planning. The Mafia works together truly like a family. The guests were extremely pleased and everyone had an amazing time. While I am sure chaos was going on outside, I was able to enjoy the last 30 minutes before the ceremony inside (dry) with my Mom and Dad. I am sure this would have NEVER been possible if I did not have Nidhi. She went above and beyond her "planner" duties getting my 5 year old a soda, delivering beers to my family while they awaited their turn to be photographed, bringing some of my husbands culture into the ceremony, communicating with hotel contacts, picking up last minute things that were forgotten, and she did it all with such beauty. I stumbled upon Nidhi and the Bridal Mafia on accident, but I would HIGHLY recommend and even advertise her services to ANYONE. She entered my life as a stranger, grew to be my planner, and remains a friend. Thank you so much for all you do Nidhi!

with less than 6 months to plan our wedding and within a week I had a photographer, makeup artist, florist, and DJ. Her team worked magic and made all my visions reality. Working with Nidhi was easy, fun, and memorable. I would highly recommend her and her team to anyone!

erwhelming- there are so many vendors to pick from, and I had no idea how or even where to start deciding on who would play the music at our reception to who could design the best cake (that tasted just as good!) It was right at that time where I had the pleasure of meeting Nidhi, with "A Bride's Mafia." Immediately I fell in love with her upbeat and genuine personality, that made you feel that you were the most important person around her. She is such a positive person and took it upon herself to ensure us that planning a wedding did not have to be a stressful process. She put together a list of the best vendors to work with in the Cincinnati area, and went with me to personally introduce them to us. She had put together a team for us that worked together so fluidly, that the final presentation was completely seamless. Communication between the team and Nidhi was the key that helped everything go so smoothly. I quickly learned that no matter how good I thought I was with planning, there was no way that I could have gotten everything done and stayed as organized and calm as she did. She was on top of it! If I ever needed anything, she was always a call away. If I emailed her, I had a response back almost immediately. I remember asking her questions early on about what colors or theme I should pick for the wedding. I valued her opinion and style, especially because she was so detail oriented, and loved when she showed me pictures of previous brides that she worked with to give me ideas on what works and doesn't work for weddings. And what I loved most, was that she always went to meetings with me, and helped me ask the questions to the photographer and DJ that I wouldn't have thought to bring up. These things helped us create a timeline, not only for the engagement period, but for the actual wedding day, that made the whole experience the most enjoyable time of my life! I could never tell Nidhi enough how much I appreciated her help in taking all the stress away from planning and allowing me to focus on the important things, like marrying the man of my dreams surrounded by the people that I love.

f our shoulders. After every phone call with my Nidhi, my fiance seemed much calmer and less stressed about our upcoming wedding. I don't know if I would've had time to speak to my fiance in the month before our wedding if it wasn't for Nidhi.

particular. I was fortunate to have met Nidhi at one of her bridal shows and she is definitely a woman on a mission - to make every bride's wishes come true! She quickly changed my mind and it was by far the best decision I've made during the whole wedding process! It turns out she has an inventory of her preferred vendors (her mafia) and my search for wedding vendors instantly became worry free. I told her my vision and she got me in touch with the right people and for a way better price than I was finding on my own search. If there was ever a worry or a thought that hadn't been discussed, Nidhi and the mafia were always 10 steps ahead taking care of business. Not to mention all of the vendors work together flawlessly!! It was simply a logistical dream! On the day of the wedding I had not a single worry and everything was stunning. I could not have imagined it any other way. Nidhi provided my husband and I sense of confidence and loyalty that far exceeded our expectations. She had our best interest at heart always and truly treated us as if we were a family member getting married. The attention to detail, customer service, and guidance she provided proved to be on a platinum level! I cannot thank her and the mafia enough for a truly remarkable and PERFECT wedding day!
