Priti was incredible and I highly recommend her for your wedding. From the beginning of signing our contract to the day of the wedding, Priti was extremely attentive and helpful in all facets of our wedding, from negotiating contracts, setting up tastings, going over timelines, being at all our vendor meetings, and having a seamless and stress free weekend
We had a formal Indian wedding which means multiple days and everything was done to the smallest detail. My wife and I had the greatest weekend and had no stress as Priti made a plan and executed the plan, even making sure we had the opportunity to eat at every event. I highly recommend Priti for your wedding!
Avani was our wedding planner/day of coordinator for three of our wedding events. She did an amazing job coordinating with the vendors before the wedding, and creating a detailed itinerary for each part of the day. Avani and her team did a great job coordinating the events, and keeping everything on track!
Priti Sweet Wedding is an amazing planning company and we highly recommend choosing them! One thing that really stood out to us was their month of coordination plan actually starts months in advance (we had Avani as our wedding planner and she started helping us 8-9 months before our wedding). They also space out the weddings they take on their schedule to ensure they have more than enough time to be dedicated to your wedding and handle any last minute questions or concerns that occur in the final weeks. My husband and I are super detail oriented and were hoping to find someone who would be just as organized when planning our wedding. Avani went above and beyond to help us with every detail of our wedding! Her constant communication and organization stood out to us from the very beginning.
As soon as we started planning our wedding, Avani gave us a list of tasks with a general timeline to help us outline what needed to be tackled first. She checked in often and sent frequent reminders of things that needed to be done which was very helpful. She also made suggestions to help us find reliable vendors and reviewed our contracts. We had many meetings in person, over the phone, and on video chat to discuss all the details. Avani answered our questions patiently and approached every request with a can-do attitude. She was extremely easy to contact and was always quick to respond to texts, calls, and emails. We had some miscommunication issues with one of our vendors but as soon as we mentioned the problem to Avani, she took care of it instantly! She knows a lot of vendors in the Chicagoland area and was always in touch with our vendors throughout the planning process. She sent us an extremely detailed 10 page itinerary outlining every detail by the hour for the wedding events and reviewed it with us line by line to ensure we were happy with the entire schedule. She also made a separate itinerary specifically for the bridal party and vendors that was less detailed.
For the weekend of, Avani ensured every item on the itinerary occurred on time which allowed my husband and I the luxury of enjoying our special weekend with our guests. Avani and her team were extremely professional and personable with our extended family and friends. The team tackled our long list of to-do’s flawlessly and made sure every request was met. One of the most shocking things that our family and friends still talk about today was how all of our wedding events started and ended on time without any delays! Avani’s team ensured every step of every event occurred smoothly and truly helped our families feel like they could enjoy the events without having to worry! Hiring Priti Sweet Weddings was easily one of the best decisions we could have made!
We hired Avani from Priti Sweet Weddings for the Month of Package, and we were thrilled with our choice! We were most impressed by how well she coordinated plans with our loved ones and vendors to ensure that our 400+ guest events ran seamlessly. She personally made sure that the two of us and our families ate at each event, which was really important for us. She was patient, organized, kind, practical, and creative, everything we were looking for in a planner. We couldn't have hosted our dream wedding weekend without Avani. Thank you SO much!
We highly reccommend Priti Sweet Wedding!
Getting the "Complete Package" from PSW was the BEST decision we could have made. Priti was amazing to work with and her constant communication really stands out. Throughout the entire process she was available to answer questions and make suggestions that fit our style. Right from the beginning she helped us set a budget and expectations. She took the stress out of finding reliable vendors, reviewing contracts, and making sure we weren't overlooking any details in the planning process. Having her team on site the day of the wedding meant we could focus on being in the moment and not have to worry.
Thank you so much Priti!

I would strongly recommend against working with Avani from Priti Sweet Weddings. While I cannot speak to the company as a whole or Priti, Avani actively detracted from our engagement event. She regularly scheduled last minute day-of meetings (2/3 meetings), sent us back schedules with wrong times (which we had sent to perfection), mispronounced our family names in front of our families (and then refused to make an effort to say it correctly), and they yelled at family members assisting elders during picture taking. My mom had to step in several times in a stern voice to inform Avani of her unprofessional behavior. She also failed to handle any challenges day-of leaving our family to find solutions on our own. While we expected to do a lot of the work for coordination services, we did not expect her presence to detract from our experience.
Priti was the most amazing wedding planner and I could not have done it without her! We planned a fusion Indian wedding and she excelled in all aspects with all vendors. I would highly recommend her for any type of wedding. She is thoughtful, organized and calm. I just love her and everyone should work with her, it is so worth it!
Priti helped plan our dream wedding and is a great wedding planner. She helped connect us with vendors who were affordable, responded quickly, made sure vendors were setting up timely, created the itinerary, ensured operations ran smoothly according to the itinerary, provided guidance where needed, and was always willing to answer questions as we planned the event.
The few things that we believe could have been better were attending all vendor calls scheduled, updating budgets, contract review, more attention to detail on wedding day, confirming with priest on duties and wedding timings, ensuring makeup/hair arrive on time, finalizing photo/video hours, and communication about day of attendance timings.
All in all, there will always be improvements; however, we would recommend Priti as a planner for your big day. She is very friendly and is willing to be there for you for your wedding.
Priti's planning was incredible! Throughout the planning process, Priti shared her expertise on decor and the flow of events.The day of the wedding she was able keep things ahead of schedule giving guests and us the time to relax. We couldn't have been more happier with the way things turned out! We would confidently hire her again for future events!
Priti and her team did an awesome job. Without her we would not have managed to put on a fun wedding. She executed at a high level during all our events and during our tight and strict timeline. She was really good at responding throughout the entire process and was very reassuring and able to improvise when needed. Her knowledge of vendors is endless and comes in great use, and she makes your wedding week stress free with her approach. We strongly recommend her for your event!!!!!
Priti and her team were absolutely amazing! We worked with them for day of coordination for our wedding/reception day and they were on top of everything. I did not have to worry about a thing, which is exactly what I wanted so my husband and I could enjoy the day with our family and friends and still have the wedding of our dreams. Also, they are professional and also absolutely personable so you really feel like you've got the best team to have your back. I could not recommend her and her team enough!! Thank you for everything and I hope we can keep in touch!!
Seems so weird that we were literally texting/ emailing you constantly for over a year and now we haven’t in weeks! We just wanted to thank both you and your team for all that you’ve done for us for this wedding. We definitely had no idea where to start with the planning process and we’re so glad we had you to guide us. You’ve been so responsive to our messages (even the 2 am ones we sent on call 😂) and with really bringing our vision to life. Our wedding weekend was a dream thanks to you. All our guests were raving about “the ladies in blue” and we heard so many comments about it being the most on time Indian wedding they have ever been to! Thanks again for everything and please keep in touch!
With love,
Anu and Akash
Excellent planner. Priti connected us with great vendors at fair prices. Our reception was flawless and everyone had a great time.
Priti planned my brother's wedding and we were extremely satisfied with her services! From the first call to managing the day-of coordination, she was on top of every detail. She was so accommodating to my family and made sure to check in with us throughout the day. She was incredibly organized and made sure everything went according to time. She has a great relationship with all the vendors and it really showed in how well everything was coordinated. I highly highly recommend Priti Sweet Weddings for your next event!
Priti from Priti Sweet Weddings was absolutely amazing with planning our wedding. She truly cares about us and our families. Priti became part of our family. No single detail was forgotten and throughout our wedding day we were either ahead of schedule or on schedule. She has great relationships with vendors and works well with them, one of them even referred her services to me. I highly recommend her services! You will not be disappointed!
Initially, Priti was very helpful and created a timeline for us to follow about a month or so before our wedding. However, as we got closer to the wedding date things became inconsistent with the timeline she provided us and her overall performance of her services. She was unaware of couple arrangements (and mixed them up), and did not follow the timeline we created. I felt so stressed that I wasn't sure how to even address this, and I was annoyed that she was unaware of the basic wedding information a day before our wedding. On the day of the wedding, I found out that she did not get in contact at all with our DJ. So all of our song selections were out of order or messed up! I was so disappointed that the ceremony songs I selected were either not played or used for others (my entrance song was used for the bridal party instead!). Later, my husband and I had to talk to the DJ ourselves to straighten the confusion on the day of our wedding (literally minutes before the start of the reception) as to avoid songs being mixed up again. I am glad we did, because he had all the wrong songs! This resulted in several entrance songs to be missing (my parents and in-laws wedding songs specifically were completely removed due to her mistake), this was not only frustrating for myself, but my family and bridal party too. Additionally, she left during the middle of the reception without saying a word to anyone in my bridal party. We still had several reception activities planned (that she did not notify the DJ of), like the garter and bouquet toss, which again left me and husband to plan out those activities. And as a result, some of the cultural traditional dances were left out, which was extremely disappointing and frustrating. Many of my vendors told me that she often confused names or important times, so I still received emails or calls from other vendors to verify times and locations or straighten out names. I feel like she was minimally supportive and helpful, and definitely not worth her services. As a bride, I was stressed out and extremely disappointed and could not recommend her services at all.
My husband and I hired Priti and her team for our wedding as a Day of Coordinator and we were very unhappy with the service. Starting from the rehearsal to the night of our wedding, I as a bride was stressed at my own wedding about things which a wedding coordinator should be taking care of. When I brought these concerns to her attention after the wedding, she was unapologetic and blamed my family for the things which she should have taken care of. During the whole wedding planning process, she did not listen to what I was saying/my vision and I had to repeat myself multiple times which caused me to lose trust in her company. Overall, as a bride, I would not recommend using her services.
Priti made our perfect wedding weekend possible. I literally could not imagine planning my wedding without her. We hired Priti to plan our mehndi/sangeet combo night and coordinate our wedding day and everything was so effortless on my end, as the bride, thanks to her. We are not very traditional as far as Indian weddings go and Priti did a great job of reflecting that in her planning and ensuring all of our needs were met. The sangeet/mehndi combo night was absolutely perfect and had a great reflection of my Indian roots and my husband’s Jamaican heritage. It was so nice not having to worry about this event at all because I knew Priti had it covered. On my wedding day, Priti and Avani were literal lifesavers and helped put out any fires before I was even aware of them. I loved the itinerary she made, even if it wasn’t closely followed, but she helped us get back on track and ensured that all the major things still got done. Everything turned out perfectly thanks to Priti and I simply got to enjoy my wedding and have the best day because I knew she had my back! I would definitely recommend that every bride should get a planner/coordinator and that planner/coordinater should be Priti Sweet Weddings!
A pro's pro! I officiate weddings almost every weekend and I have rarely had the pleasure of working with a more personable and professional, wedding planner! Great communications, obsessive attention to detail, and a fantastic personality. Highly recommended for every couple wanting a perfect wedding!
Priti helped us with picking some of our vendors as well as day of coordination. She was always prepared for all of our meetings whether it was with just us or with the vendors. She’s very knowledgeable, organized, full of awesome ideas/tips, and professional (but somehow it felt like she was one of our really good friends!). Our wedding day felt like a breeze with her around. We truly got to enjoy the day without having to worry about anything because we knew Priti was handling it, our friends and family would also agree with that. She communicated very well with all of our vendors who also had nothing but positive things to say about her. For example, our venue coordinator mentioned how respectful and professional she was with them and that’s not always a given with every planner. Bonus points for that! I would definitely recommend Priti for your future events because she will make your vision come to life while ensuring everything goes as smoothly as possible! You’re the best, Priti!!! 💕
Priti from Priti Sweet Weddings was fantastic to work with. She kept us super organized and on schedule the day of the wedding. We had a fun playful wedding theme where we wanted our guests to have a good time and us not to have anything to worry about. Priti definitely exceeded our expectations and ensured we had a great time while she took care of everything else! Cocktails started with guests drinking, eating and playing roulette and blackjack. A caricature artist drew single portraits of the 300 guests at Chicago’s River East Center! Guests danced the night away and took home personalized card decks as favors. Priti and her team did a great job making sure guests were taken care of, both families and we were fed. During the evening reception, they visited all the tables and asked guests if they needed anything and would fulfill there dinner requests. They have the longest most detailed wedding itinerary I have ever seen! Our wedding itinerary was 5 pages long and included all the details needed. They created a separate itinerary (shorter version) for my bridal party and the vendors as well. PSW provides unlimited communication and they know the importance of communciation in making an event successful. Priti was very reliable, trustworthy and hard working. I can tell she is passionate about what she does and I highly recommend her!
Priti Sweet Weddings is great to work with. It was hard to articulate my vision but miraculously Priti was able to bring to life the vision in my head. Priti Sweet Weddings was with me every step of the way from dress fittings to venue shopping to the cake tasting. She also has amazing connections with major vendors all over the city! The final result was fantastic! I highly recommend Priti Sweet Weddings!

We made the tough call to postpone our August 2020 wedding and push it out to April 2021. Before this whole situation unfolded I already knew that hiring Priti from Priti Sweet Weddings was a good idea, but navigating through this with her by our side solidified that Priti Sweet Weddings was hands down the best decision we made with our wedding!! Priti sent a note in March saying any couple wanting to rebook would simply see PSW services moved to the new date so long as there was availability and there would be no rebooking fees. Priti then jumped right in helping us contact vendors, organize their new availability and dates, sifting through the options and ultimately finding new vendors for the ones that we can no longer work with. It's been a life, and sanity, saver for sure! Do yourselves a favor and make the easiest decision ever to ensure your entire wedding planning process happens smoothly! Wish I could give 10 stars!
Let me save you some time. If you want to have the wedding of your dreams, hire Priti Sweet Weddings before anyone else! From the second we met Priti, she literally went above and beyond in meeting every expectation and ensuring that we get everything we wanted for our big day. From being an expert planner, unique design ideas, extensive vendor database, creative details to make your wedding one of a kind. There were times where I could trust her. The best part was that she made it feel effortless and has a true passion for what she does. She truly felt like part of the family and we even confided in her. She truly cared for us and wanted the best for us. I highly recommend Priti and she is worth every penny if not more!
We can confidently say that the best decision (other than choosing each other) was choosing Priti as our wedding planner! She made the day run seamlessly and made sure we were relaxed and well fed the entire time. Her attention to detail and creativity took our vision to a different level. Planning a wedding while in a different state was horrifying, but with Priti by our side, everything was so easy! Thanks Priti!!!
Hiring Priti Sweet Weddings was the BEST decision we ever made. Priti was on top of everything, and it made the last weeks leading up to my wedding more fun than stressful! She called all the vendors, created an amazing day of schedule, contacted our wedding party and made a separate schedule for them as well as the vendors, took care of getting our place cards printed and SO much more. She called me the morning of the wedding to check in and see how I was doing! She was so kind and organized, I really could not have asked for anything more. I highly recommend her to anyone and we cannot thank her enough for helping us create our dream wedding!
Priti Sweet weddings do the best wedding planning to provide Bride and Groom stress-free events. I didn't have time to talk to vendors, deal with headaches, and didn't know proper vendors. Priti Katwala and her team came adviced me and saved me a ton of money and time. Invaluable service. Also, my wife was less stressed! Happy Wife Happy Life!
What really made our day so amazing was our wedding planner. Having her there to oversee everything and make sure that all the elements and personal touches were in place and all the vendors were on point made our day so relaxing. Our wedding planner created a detailed 5-page timeline for the day of the wedding (even a separate itinerary for the bridal party and vendors) and was the key person to implement it which allowed me and my husband the luxury of soaking everything in and really enjoying our special day. In the end, we felt like guests at our own wedding; knowing that someone else was taking care of everything allowed not only me and my husband, but our entire bridal party and our family and friends to have an amazing stress free day. I would highly recommend hiring Priti Sweet Weddings. In fact, her day of coordination package is more like months of coordination because she likes to start 4-5 months in advance and it truly got us organized and made for our day to be perfect! It was one of the best decisions my husband and I made!"
Wow, 5 stars aren’t enough to describe what a phenomenal Wedding & Event planner Priti Sweet Wedding is!!
Priti came up with a rustic look for my wedding after discussing with me how I envisioned my dream wedding. She has a beautiful vision and made my dream wedding come to life. We can't thank her enough for all the hard work (hours and hours and hours) and love she put into it to make her stunning vision come to life. Priti’s incredible organization from beginning to end made the event flawless. Priti is very resourceful and she led her vendors with respect, kindness and professionalism.
Priti was a pleasure to work with and became a friend and confidant throughout the wedding planning process. Priti approaches her work with passion, warmth and enthusiasm! She brings creativity and out of the box thinking to all situations. She gives 110% to every task. I appreciate her impeccable follow through and I highly recommend working with her.
Priti was positive and supportive of us as we tried to finalize plans for our wedding in Chicago in the middle of the Covid-19 global pandemic. It was a very stressful time for us and our families. Priti took the responsibility to contact all the vendors and notify them of the new postponed date and help us find new vendors if they were already booked on the new date. She stays calm and thinks out of the box to help us. In turn, it made us feel more at ease. Priti has turned into a friend throughout the planning process and was 110% reliable. She has a true passion for wedding planning and is so creative. She made our vision of our wedding come to life and above our expectations. Hiring her was one of the best decisions we made in planning our wedding! She will be planning my sister's wedding in the new future!
We hired Priti Sweet Weddings for our wedding. They were very well organized and extremely professional in the way they interacted with all of our guests and vendors. They helped us with vendor negotiation, decor ideas, welcome drinks and food menu suggestions and also recommended us a reasonable DJ and cake vendor. They made sure that all the festivities were thoroughly enjoyed by our guests without any undue stress to us. All the activities and guest entertainment were carefully designed for our very special day and all within budget!
We highly recommend them for your special events!!
We would not have experienced a wedding the way we did, without your help. You were very organized with checklists for different parts of the wedding from the preparatory phase till the end. You gave us direction, guidance and helped us build bridges with best vendors, which helped us make right choices without wasting any precious time and money. Also, you were always readily available to solve and to answer any questions whether it was minor or major. You always listened patiently and gave us best advice. This is why our wedding was amazing because of Priti Sweet Weddings !! Thank you for making everything seemless :)
We highly recommend them for your special events !!
Hidden gem!!!! Our wedding planners were absolutely AMAZING! My husband and I both had similar ideas of how we envisioned our wedding but of course, there was some stuff where we were on opposite ends. Our wedding planners worked their magic and incorporated both visions to one. It’s true, your wedding day will fly by and I can honestly say that we enjoyed every moment....stress free. I’m forever grateful!
Oh, how can I forget...our planners also stayed within our budget! 💕
