Happy Chuppah

We were very happy with our chuppah! We got married last May at UCI University Club and wanted a natural/organic outdoor ceremony. We opted for their birch chuppah with off-white drapes. They arrived and setup the chuppah on time, and coordinated well with our florist. They also setup really pretty crystal beads and chandelier throughout our outdoor space, which really made our ceremony feel special. They left the chuppah up until the evening, and snuck in towards the end of our reception to take down. We had windows in our reception hall, so you could see the beautiful lights shining up into the chuppah canopy while everyone enjoyed dinner and speeches. Karina and her husband did a wonderful job, I can't recommend them highly enough!

I highly recommend Happy Chuppah to any couple looking for a beautiful Chuppah or Canopy for their wedding ceremony. My now husband and I are not Jewish, but got married on the beach and I wanted some kind of a structure, but the metal arches are just so old fashioned. Happy Chuppah is more modern. The customer service was quick, personalized, and professional. Our beautiful Chuppah was set up and taken down at the exact time as we specified, with absolutely no hassle (which is what every bride wants on her big day). We found Happy Chuppah's selection to be by far the best in the area and it fit into our small budget.

Initially, Karina at Happy Chuppah was very responsive and sounded experienced and professional. We were impressed with her selection, and Karina helped us choose the right fabrics and colors. On the wedding day, however, they brought the wrong size chuppah, the 6 foot square instead of the 8 foot square written in our contract, so that our attendants did not fit underneath, leaving us squished for the ceremony and the photos. Furthermore, the chuppah was not adequately weighted down, and fell over immediately before the processional, breaking our expensive Venetian kiddush cup and delaying the ceremony by about half an hour, leaving glass shards spread around, and greatly agitating the bridal party. Family members had to hold it up during the ceremony and photos, and notably, there was little wind. It was just not stable. When Happy Chuppah came to collect the chuppah, they argued with our coordinator that it couldn’t have fallen over, as if we don’t have it all on video. They said they would call us, but we haven’t heard from them. Very unprofessional and unreliable.
