K.I. WEDDINGS

d, and chose to not be physically present for 2/3 out of the events I contracted them for. This caused a significant amount of damages for my wedding that I spent my whole life dreaming about. The process leading up to the wedding was extremely stressful for me, my husband, and our families. I felt alone at several points, and I felt Jignasa’s attitude exhibited rudeness even when mistakes were made by her or her team. I wish I was more careful in reading her reviews before my family hired her. For any bride who may want more information about my experience, I encourage you to reach out to me privately on my personal social media pages.

dings enough!! That are amazing!!

s on the weekend of our wedding because it allowed us to enjoy being in the moment rather than having to worry about the logistics and small details. Would highly recommend KI Weddings!

cellent service.

and especially Taylor! I know we put her through the grinder but she did an amazing job!!

nt. I really appreciated her dedication and hard work with making my vision come to life. Bhumi was so great with emails and communication. She really picked up the slack from losing two of the previous leads. Muneera helped with a ton of logistics which was great and so helpful. Jignasa helped navigate difficult family conversations and difference of opinions. Every person on the team was very much appreciated.

l and gave us so much reassurance throughout the process. Our wedding wouldn’t have been as special and enjoyable without them. We’re eternally grateful.

both did exactly what I need and heard my concerns and requests. Not once during my wedding did I worry about any issues. We both were so present with our family and because of them everything was seamless.

and had no idea if anything was going wrong! We felt fully taken care of and loved our weekend.

a timely and detailed manner. Execution was immaculate and high quality!

ood and felt like every contingency was thought of before I could worry about it.

n of every event to the execution was beyond our expectations. Our wedding day was magical and thanks to K.I. Weddings for making our dreams come true!

sire to help is unmatched and will always be remembered. I cannot thank you enough!

help. I can’t imagine being the bride or groom and also being in the trenches when things inevitably go wrong - it was amazing to have the peace of mind that there were people who would advocate for us and see our vision through. We delegated to the right team. I recommend working with KI for literally any and every thing.

ther wonderful vendors for her own networking and probably the free food. If you don’t pay for the “full” experience she will treat you like crap and act like you’re beneath her and not bring any assistants with her because she can’t afford to pay them. STAY AWAY!!!

mproved in. Attention to detail - we specifically planned a trip to Texas to look at venues since it was no secreof our arrival so we could only explore the event spaces in a limited capacity. One particular venue could only accommodate 30 to 40 people when we had specified that we would have a guest list of 250 to 300. We must’ve been given a generic list. Another example - I would have tot we lived out of state. We were given a list of venues to visit. None of the venue staff were aware repeat myself about details for the wedding such as color schemes, contact information for vendors, general flow events for the wedding. It would be nice if they took the time to review the shared googledoc or notes on clients before engaging in phone calls. I thought their involvement was extremely peripheral despite purchasing full-service wedding planning. I personally edited the majority of the shared googledoc document which was used as a central information portal. I asked repeatedly for an updated timeline and to-do list on the googledoc which was never completed. It did not provide confidence that items on the to-do lists were being done. I was reassured that a wedding could be planned and put together in a very short amount of time despite my insistence that I did not have the luxury of time due to the nature of my occupation. They also needed quicker turnaround and transparency in communication. They needed frequent prompting and follow-up messages after phone calls/discussions to see if any action was done on items. It would commonly take several days for communications to vendors to be initiated or continued. If we had a phone call about the wedding on Monday, you wouldn’t hear anything through Thursday and they would be completely unavailable Friday to Sunday. Therefore, we lost an entire week without any progress. Other things - I did not realize that we would not be directly working with Jignasa. Many companies delegate work to lead planners however it took a long time to be introduced to the lead planner and we felt several months of planning time was lost. KI Weddings claims take care of negotiation with vendors which I did not see any evidence of. The majority of the vendors recommended by this company were grossly out of budget. We found and booked most of the vendors on our own instead. Despite all of these shortcomings, we were hopeful that the execution of the multi-day, multi-event wedding would be where the company would shine. Unfortunately due to COVID, we canceled and we did not have the luxury of setting a new date. They had the audacity to request full payment of services even though I would say less than 20% of services were rendered up until that point (one month prior to the wedding). Overall, I think there are likely other wedding planning services out there that will work more readily with you to decrease the planning burden rather than add to it.

e wedding. I eventually hired a new planner. I can assure you that every one-star review on here is accurate.

ransparency, an attitude from hell and lazy. It was so bad that our vendors complained to us about how terrible she was. I cannot believe any positive reviews that she has since our experience was the exact opposite. Instead of hiring her as an event coordinator, you’re better off putting your friend and an excel sheet in charge. Stay away, save your money and save yourself extra stress on your wedding day.

nal planner who has amazing ideas and makes every detail perfect!

greatly confident that it is very possible. She exhibited great professionalism and her work ethics are impeccable. Me and my husband work full time and she made it easy for us to plan for the wedding event, which is a multiday event, she understood the vision we had and implemented it. Always did give us gentle reminders, deadlines, budget assessment with every vendor, which is especially important for the short timeline we had. Also accommodated the last-minute changes and made the events happen very successfully. It was wonderful to have someone who was able to help us navigate through and adapt to these challenges. She will be with you from start, to finish and even beyond your wedding date. I highly recommend Ki events!!

f inspiration pictures, Pinterest boards, etc. However, she somehow managed to put together an event that was exactly what I wanted. She balanced my vision against the (sometimes overwhelming) wishes of my family. South Asian weddings are about the family as much as they are about the bride and she was able to keep everyone happy while executing a flawless event. Jignasa was extremely easy to communicate with and she really listened and guided me through all the challenges a wedding brings, including vendor selection. She is clearly well known and respected within the wedding community and she connected me to amazing vendors that were not only excellent at what they did, but fun to work with as well. Finally, Jignasa herself was incredibly professional and fun to work with and I am doubtless that she could make any girl’s wedding dreams come true.

ng planner. We had a unique ceremony setup in the middle of a downtown cobblestone street that was shut down for our ceremony along with subsequent multi day events and varying venues. My husband isn't Indian, so it was important for us to have someone be mindful of a bicultural wedding. While I know every single thing was not flawless, I could not tell as Jignasa and her team took care of all of the logistics to ensure I, as the bride, was not stressed and enjoyed the day of events. I can't recommend Jignasa and her team enough. Even her recommended vendors are truly a team that cannot be replaced or recommended enough of. They're loyal, trustworthy and truly just GET THE JOB DONE.

were forced to postpone to April 2021. When our families started discussing the possibility of moving the wedding date, we were anxious to say the least! Thanks to Jignasa and her team, that anxiety did not last very long. Their team handled all of the nightmarish logistics wonderfully such as contracts, contacting all of our vendors, so on and so forth. Having K.I. in our corner has relieved so much of the stress that comes with planning an Indian destination wedding, especially in a year like this one. They continue to exceeded our expectations, further solidifying our decision to hire them! Although it was not ideal to postpone one of the biggest weekends of our lives, we are excited to continue working with them through April 2021.

h is where I got to see her in action. She makes sure all goes smoothly, and if there were any hiccups along the way, she would see it through and make sure it is taken care of. Most importantly, I saw how calm the brides were through the wedding planning process and wedding day, so of course I knew that when it came time for me, Jignasa with K.I. weddings would be the wedding planner I wanted. She helped me research and book venues, photo/video, caterer, decor, make up, literally EVERYTHING. She is so on top of all things wedding related, and has such great attention to detail that I knew that we would have all of our bases covered. She is very thorough about the timeline prior to the wedding, and is wonderful about answering all questions/concerns I would have, no matter what time of day. With just 3 months left before the wedding, the country went under lockdown and I began to panic. With Jignasa's reassurance and her guidance/knowledge/help, we were able to set a new date 3 months after the original date. With the uncertainties of covid and not knowing how many guests we would be allowed to have, we had decided to wait to plan until the new wedding date was closer. With her help, we were able re-plan the wedding in 1 month. Yes, 1 month!!! In August, we pulled off a COVID wedding and everything went perfectly, down to the details. I would recommend Jignasa and K.I. Weddings to anyone who is looking for a wedding planner (and even anyone who isn't really, because it makes the wedding planning process and the wedding itself so much more enjoyable). Can't wait to work with K.I. Weddings in 2021 for the reception!!

especially from a distance (we live in New York but had a Texas venue). We were looking for someone to trust and handle the mental load on the ground. I went with K.I. for their experience in fusion weddings and the comfort in how Jignasa operated. Jignasa is direct and honest but most importantly personable and patient. As a Bride, I needed someone to be direct/direct me while giving me space to make decisions. I can easily rabbit hole into things, so having Jignasa to present the best options based on our tastes was great. The K.I. team worked behind the scenes but checked-in appropriately to give us the headliners. Jignasa was transparent on the timeline/deadlines working backwards from our date (huge comfort). When COVID hit, she moved things forward in a way that allowed us to be flexible in postponing vs continuing. I cannot stress enough that without Jignasa's guidance, we probably would've been stuck with so many vendor signed contracts/negotiations. But instead, she directed we not lock anything and basically gave us decision tree options which in the end lead us to exactly where we wanted to be. It was great to have an expert like Jignasa dedicated and working behind the scenes (especially during the uncertainty of COVID). She was staying plugged in to not only our situation but what was happening across the industry/country to make sure we solved for what was best and safe for everyone. Though we'll be postponing until next year, I am so happy we went with K.I and Jignasa because I am so at ease with what's to come in all the fun next year (:

dors were on the same page at all times. K.I. Weddings made planning the wedding of our dreams easy and fun and during the wedding weekend all our needs and wants were always taken care of. I would definitely recommend them for any wedding planning needs!

cringe. As a bride, you deal with enough stress and the last thing you need is to be worried about your planner being MIA all the time! About six months before our wedding we had to drop our wedding planner and lose out on a huge chunk of payment because of so many reasons. (I’ve left a passionate review on their page as well if you would like a fun read 😉) I was a mess and half until my husband hired Jignasa and her team for about five months to our wedding! Having had such a shitty experience with my previous planner, I was a full-on shameless bridezilla when it came to dealing with Jignasa and her team, and they handled my crazy like professional miracle workers and my stressful wedding planning actually became a fun and exciting wedding planning process! I couldn’t believe how quickly they booked our remaining vendors and even helped reduced cost on the vendors booked by our previous planner. Their planning process is organized and structured with clear deadlines and instructions on what we need to be working on next. The wedding day was the craziest! They handled by large loving crazy family and all fixed all the problems we could possibly through at them, without even letting me know!! (I found out about everything they did after the wedding ended) They weren’t just planners, they were our friends, our therapists, and our miracle workers! I want to thank you all for everything you did!! Please send any questioning Brides and Grooms my way!! I’ll be happy to set them on the right path the first time!

ate me and were always on top of timelines provided at the beginning. They also anticipated key problem areas ahead of time and provided the necessary steps and eliminated any risk.. so much so that I never even had the chance to stress out. From friend’s experiences, I anticipated that planning my wedding would be the most difficult time of my life, but K. I Weddings made my wedding an amazing experience! Thank you guys so so much!!

the most amazing/awesome wedding experience and the best part is people still talking about it!! Thanks a lot Jignasa , K.I . Weddings 👍🏻👍🏻❤️

can't thank them enough for taking the time out each week and sometimes each day to help us work out the kinks and finalize with vendors. They truly work tirelessly! They are incredibly detail oriented and with their bubbly personalities they are so much fun to work with. Even in the most stressful times, they take it all upon themselves so the family and bride/groom have the chance to relax and enjoy the special moments. I am so happy that I chose K.I. Weddings to plan my events because it was one of the best decisions I made during the wedding! If you choose K.I., not only will you have the best planners in the industry but you will also come out with a lasting friendship!

ng them coordinate more events for us in the future and help make our visions come alive! Hands down the best South Asian event planner in Texas and for destinations!

o worry about anything, things went on time, my family was fully able to enjoy without feeling stressed and everything went so smooth! I highly recommend KI weddings. She has great contacts to anything your needing and always on it!

t is exactly what she gave me. We made sure to have weekly meetings and everything was Google Doc based which I loved. I was able to access my wedding plans whenever I needed and everything was extremely organized. Even though I lived in Florida and Jignasa in Dallas, she attended every phone call, answered my calls every time I called and made sure all of mine and my family’s questions were answered thoroughly. KI made planning my wedding so easy and I can 100% say that I genuinely ENJOYED my wedding. KI’s team catered to me, my husband and our families and everything we needed. Jignasa even came to my house to help me finish packing my personal belongings for my move after the wedding. The morning of the wedding my mom was hysterical because we were missing some items and KI quickly went out and found her everything she needed. Every single event started on time and every event went PERFECT. KI kept in touch with my husband’s side as well to make sure their trip to Florida from Memphis went smooth with no issues. The day of the wedding, she was there as a support system for my dad. That is one thing I will forever be grateful for. A few months after the wedding, she was in my new city Memphis and even called to meet up for dinner. Jignasa is a someone who you will want to have in your life even after your wedding. She is professional, she is smart and she knows what she’s doing! Thank you Jignasa and KI Weddings for making my wedding weekend EPIC!

ld sleep peacefully at night knowing that Jignasa had everything under control. Even though I am very detail oriented and a worry wart, I could tell she was even more organized and meticulous than I was. She has been in the wedding planning business for a long time, and that is invaluable. She was punctual, responsive and very professional throughout. If there were any problems during the ceremonies, I sure did not know about it. And that’s why I hired her. She is very trustworthy and delivers what she promises. The biggest compliment I could pay was by referring her to my closest friends, which I did many times. If you want a hassle free experience, KI weddings is the place to go.

iority. Instead, we had to stay on top of KI Weddings throughout the whole process to plan our wedding. And they still dropped the ball on things up to the day of the ceremony. My stress levels were so high I had health problems from wedding planning, even with this planner! You could plan a more cost effective wedding without KI Weddings. We went 2x above our budget. Hidden costs, misleading, and do not look out for their client's best interest. Extremely disappointed in our experience.

nswers from her and her team. As with most weddings, there are unexpected obstacles that come up, and Jignasa and her team handled them effortlessly and really took the pressure off of us. There had been some last minute problems with the decorators, set up, and draping/make up vendors, which was handled professionally and expediently by Jignasa and KI weddings. We had some last minute changes in the middle of the night before the wedding day which again, Jignasa took care of immediately. Their knowledge of the Dallas area was an amazing asset, to helping us plan our wedding and the venue. Their reputation is top notch in Dallas and outside. We felt very lucky that KI weddings and Jignasa were there to plan our wedding. She felt like a part of our family and genuinely wanted all the guests to be happy. We would recommend them to anyone looking for a professional, experienced, accommodating, and caring wedding planner. Thank you so much!

My entire wedding week I was so stressed, but Jignasa and her team did everything to make all my stress go away. We will always recommend them to anyone.
