SORAYA - Distinctive Multi-Cultural Events
Full-service multi-cultural event planning company
We are beyond grateful to have worked with Soraya for our wedding and truly cannot imagine our experience without her. From the very beginning, she was an absolute pleasure to work with—warm, thoughtful, incredibly organized, and meticulous about every single detail. Soraya planned our wedding for nearly a year and a half, ensuring that nothing was overlooked and that every moment unfolded seamlessly. On the wedding weekend itself, everything ran flawlessly and without a hitch, allowing us to be fully present and enjoy every second.
What made working with Soraya especially meaningful is her deep expertise in multicultural and multi-faith weddings. She thoughtfully and respectfully helped us weave together our traditions, cultures, and identities in an authentic, intentional, and deeply personal way. She truly understood our vision and brought it to life with care, precision, and creativity.
Because of Soraya’s incredible work, our wedding was featured in over a dozen wedding magazines and publications—something we never imagined possible. She didn’t just plan an event; she helped tell our story beautifully and meaningfully.
Soraya is an exceptionally professional, hardworking, and talented planner, and we would recommend her without hesitation to anyone planning a wedding—especially couples looking to honor multiple cultures or traditions. We feel so lucky to have had her by our side and will forever be thankful for the magic she helped create.
As the year draws to a close, we are looking back with gratitude to so many who made this year special for us. One person who stands at the top is Soraya Belgacem (Soraya Events), our wedding planner for our son’s wedding.
Our son got married in 2025 (and we now have a most wonderful daughter-in-law!). It was a wedding of two different cultures and faiths, so two separate ceremonies were arranged. We undertook the primary responsibility for organizing the Indian ceremony in Massachusetts. Soraya was the wedding planner for this ceremony.
Soraya was extremely professional in all her dealings. She was extremely hard-working and kept the entire planning process moving on time over the ten months leading up to the wedding. She really cared about making the ceremony truly special and memorable for the couple. She involved our son and our daughter-in-law in every important decision.
Both of us and indeed our son and daughter-in-law are extremely pleased with her services. We could not have pulled off this successful event without her. Soraya was indispensable to us.
From the very first email that we sent to Soraya inquiring about her services she was wonderful to communicate with. We had numerous meetings with her throughout the planning process working on all the important details. On every occasion, we felt that she had gone above and beyond to meet our needs to our fullest satisfaction. She is a very positive person and truly delightful to work with. At every step we found her extremely knowledgeable and helpful and we had full confidence in her decisions. She was also extremely prompt with her responses. We kept in touch regularly over email, phone, Zoom as well as text messaging. She was always there for us.
Some of the aspects that stood out for us were:
• From the very beginning Soraya totally understood our vision for what would constitute a successful wedding for us. We found that she is an excellent listener and quickly able to grasp the essence of what we are looking for.
• She has a lot of experience and a very good working relation with a lot of vendors. She also has the expertise and resources to pivot quickly should a problem arise with a vendor for an unforeseen reason. We faced a problem in one case, and she handled the situation with great expertise. We never felt that any situation was out of control.
• She has a great sense of aesthetics and was very closely involved with us and the decorators and lighting experts regarding every aspect of the décor. She was creative and innovative with her ideas and very resourceful. She was passionate about making everything turn out excellent.
• For the day of the event, Soraya made sure that everything went precisely and on schedule. This was greatly appreciated by our guests.
Over the last five months since the wedding, we have heard from so many of our guests, and they all said that their experience was wonderful and memorable. Specifically, they said that the wedding was extremely well organized in all respects and that thoughtful attention had been paid to all details. Truly speaking, this would just not have been possible without Soraya’s incredible contribution.
We are extremely satisfied and grateful to Soraya for her dedicated work for the wedding. The wedding was really a success in terms of meeting and exceeding our own expectations. We highly recommend Soraya to any couple looking for an extraordinary event.
