I am honestly having trouble writing this review because no amount of complimenting is enough to thank Matchbox Event Co. for the consistent hard work they put in to make my weddin...g the absolute dream wedding that I never in a million years imagined could come to reality! No one has the heart and dedication that Matchbox Event Co has. I reached out to Matchbox Event Co when we decided not to work with our previous planner; there were SO many issues created by the previous planner. Matchbox Event Co still wholeheartedly took on our wedding and sincerely fixed every problem that we had (ones that we did not even know we had!) Early on, the lead planner of the company, Natalia let us know that she would be handling our wedding with as much care as if it was her own. She really stuck to these words! Natalia and the team thoroughly researched about Indian traditions, they scheduled regular meetings with me and my vendors, they sent reminders for payments and pending items on my to do list, they learned about all VIP members names, faces, and specific requirements including disabilities, allergies, etc, and so much more! Another thing Natalia told us was that she wanted us and our families to thoroughly enjoy the wedding and she did not want us to take on extra tasks. There were so many little things that I told Natalia that family members could take care of, but she refused. Natalia added on so many little things that were not even included in our package with her, but she truly wanted us to be stress free and enjoy! For example, Natalia allowed me to ship ALL wedding items to her own home and she transported these items to our hotels and venues for us. Indian weddings are notorious for family members having to run around last minute for things; we truly had friends and family shocked at us not needing them for anything because our planners had our back!
We had a destination wedding and flew in to Scottsdale, Natalia and the team surprised us at our hotel with a warm welcome, champagne, a card, and some great news. This was a great way to kick off the celebrations! Another remarkable part of the way Matchbox Event Co works is that they are there bright and early before hair and makeup starts, til the very last words of the last song on the dance floor- this is extremely rare to find.
We have been told by every single guest at our wedding that the attention to detail and timeliness was spectacular all thanks to Matchbox Event Co! It is rare to have an Indian wedding wear everything goes correctly and on time, I told the team that and they genuinely proved me wrong! Maybe there were a couple hiccups here and there but Natalia and the team did not let me catch wind of that at all!
Last but not least, we were working on a budget and much of my wedding seemed out of reach for me. I had other planning companies straight up say no to me for certain wants. With Natalia and Matchbox Event Co, no matter how delulu the dream was, Natalia and Matchbox Event Co went out of their way to make sure it was executed! Just one example of this is that I really wanted plated and passed dinner at my reception- our venue was not agreeing to do it within our budget, so Natalia and her team did this for us! I hope I have illustrated that Matchbox Event Co is the definition of people who will truly give you the shirt off their back. I am forever grateful and indebted to Natalia and Matchbox Event Co; our wedding would not have been this successful without them!
