TLDR: Baroj Events was the best decision for our Hindu (Gujarati) wedding & reception - friends and family agreed too!
When we started planning our big fat Hindu (Gujarati) weddin...g, we knew we wanted help through a wedding planner as well as a day-of coordinator. As we were browsing through wedding planning vendors, we appreciated how Baroj Events offered an “a la carte” selection of planning services (as we had already knew our venue that included the food & beverage package) so we would be able to customize it to our remaining needs.
We had our initial call with Rojin Babayan (the owner of Baroj Events) and immediately we clicked with her and appreciated her kind & knowledgeable approach to the wedding industry while not having any particular affiliations with vendors - AKA her opinions were only from her own experiences.
As we began working with Rojin, we quickly realized that she was excellent in keeping us aligned to deadlines for completing wedding tasks. We had about 1.5 years to plan our big day so Rojin was able to build in some breathing room as we made big decisions - decor, DJ, photo, video…etc. She could sense when we were getting overwhelmed by all the different available options and helped us narrow down the list through pros & cons or suggested pivoting to a different vendor while we finalized our thoughts.
Rojin is very easy to communicate with - we used iMessage, Instagram (very helpful to be able to send her inspiration or additional vendors we wanted her to inquire with), email, WhatsApp, video calls - she was very accommodating.
Rojin’s awesome reputation in the industry also led us to receiving exclusive deals - a surprising ancillary perk that only further confirmed our decision to use Baroj Events!
Jumping to day of the wedding - Rojin joined me at 6AM while I was getting my HMU done and then began her wonderful time tracking. She ensured we had plenty of time for our First Look, the Baraat started at a timely manner, the flowers were delivered and properly stored etc… We had a Memorial Table that Rojin set up on our behalf - so many additional tasks like this that made the day so smooth not only for us but also for our guests who could enjoy the event instead of having to help us set up items etc. Every time I had a thought of “did we do XYZ, Rojin?” it was quickly met with a yes!
Rojin not only supported us as a couple but also our families - my mom trusted Rojin to go into her hotel room to grab gold for the wedding event, a task that only the most trustworthy are assigned. Rojin was quickly recognized as a reliable source of help.
During the reception, Rojin helped organize all our family for their entrances and had all our our “fun items” ready to go - foam glow stick, shirts for an audience t-shirt toss, and my Husband’s LED sneakers to change into our the dance floor. She led my husband and me to the food buffet to ensure we properly sat down and ate dinner (which I’m not sure would’ve happened without her!).
All in all - if there was one decision we are so happy we made, it was choosing Baroj Events and recommend her to anyone looking for wedding (or any) planning!
