I hired Roma as the Day of Coordinator for my wedding on 8/17/24. Roma took over the details of planning three weeks prior to the wedding. She is personable, professional, and easy to work with. Roma created the timeline for our wedding that included the ceremony, the reception, the transportation, and also incorporated the timeline created by the photographer.
She reviewed every contract and met with every vendor to ensure that we were all on the same page and had the same timelines. Roma also coordinated with the venue Maitre'd, the DJ/MC and bridal attendant. The flow of the ceremony and the reception went smoothly. Roma also has great ideas and suggestions regarding decor. She made sure the photographer took all the pictures we discussed on our photo list. Roma is very hands-on and made sure the groom and I had everything we needed to have a memorable night. If any issues did arise, I wasn't aware, because Roma was on top of everything. She answered all the questions, took care of distributing the tip envelopes, and coordinated with the venue to store any items left over until we were able to pick them up. I would recommend Roma as a wedding planner or Day of Coordinator. She is wonderful!

I was a total type A bride with a specific vision for every detail of my wedding, but I knew I needed a coordinator to ensure the events ran smoothly along with the million other things that need to get accomplished before the wedding. I interviewed quite a few coordinators but Roma was easily the person with the best attitude and knowledge of everything I was looking for. The best decision we made was hiring Roma to take care of our wedding and reception. Although I had already booked all my vendors and planned out details for the events, a key aspect of planning is successfully executing the day of schedule. Without Roma's experience, professionalism, and warm personality, we wouldn’t have been able to have a seamless and stunning ceremony and reception. My only wish is that I hired her for my other events as well. She started working with my me, my husband, parents, and brother about a month before the wedding and had numerous video calls with us all while accommodating our west coast schedules. She was patient with ensuring that the entire family was heard and helped integrate as much of our culture as possible into our events. Weeks before the wedding, she coordinated with every one of our vendors, checked contracts, and ensured that all documents were in order. She even made time to attend our venue walk through and helped me navigate all the requirements the venue asked of me at the last minute. She was always responsive on email and text, even responding to me the night before my ceremony and coming to our rescue since the florist cancelled on us at the last second. During the wedding morning I was so comforted to see her and I immediately knew I was in good hands - I could finally relax and enjoy every second of my day. My entire family and I felt taken care of and we would recommend Roma to anyone in need of a planner/coordinator. Thank you so much Roma and team!

From the very first phonecall we had with Roma, we knew she would be the coordinator for us. We were on the fence about whether to hire a day-of coordinator for our wedding events or not, but hiring Roma was the BEST decision we could have ever made! From the meticulous/ detailed planning and questions, to making sure everything flowed exactly how we wanted to, Roma and her team ensured that our events were flawless. She was always ready to jump on a call when needed, listened carefully to our desires and thoughts, and offered really meaningful input and improvements to our plans! We did not have a single stress when it came to event days knowing everything was in her hands. Not to mention how charismatic and charming Roma is, vibing with our entire group of family and friends. We would 10000/10 recommend Roma to anyone! Thank you so much for making our wedding week so special!
Any questions?

I found Roma on the knot while chaotically searching for help with the wedding planning. She was quick to respond and not only honest and kind from our very first meeting. My wedding day was a success thanks to Roma pulling everything together with our itinerary for the day and discussing plans with all the vendors. I highly recommend Roma for all events, big or small!

Roma is a gem! We can’t thank her enough for all she did to make our wedding day perfect. It was a magical day because of her! Roma was recommended by a dear friend and it was the best and easiest decision we could’ve made. From the beginning, Roma listened to our vision, gave creative recommendations and very helpful advice. She was exactly what we were looking for and our personalities vibed which was tremendous for us personally. Her calm demeanor and witty sense of humor made the planning process so easy and was the saving grace in stressful moments. With one look, she could easily tell what I was thinking and we both understood each other like lifelong friends. It was wonderful always having her by our side; she came to all of our vendor meetings and even traveled through a horrendous storm! Throughout the planning process she was always reachable even with her busy schedule. She would check in to make sure things were squared away with the vendors and everything stayed on track and within budget. She is very knowledgeable and very detail oriented, it really helped keep everything organized and on track with our timeline. Her eye for décor, knowledge of florals and floor planning gave us the ambiance we desired for our wedding and reflected our style and vision. Her knowledge of florals still amazes me! We were blown away when we saw everything put together and come to life. On the wedding day, she was always within earshot and made sure everything went off without a hitch. From start to finish, Roma and her team handled every little detail, from setup, to breakdown and everything in between. We were able to enjoy our wedding and spend time with our loved ones. It was perfect, more than what we could have imagined! Roma is graceful, knowledgeable, and professional, we highly recommend her. Thank you again Roma for all you did and still do, you went above and beyond!

We had the wedding of our dreams and I completely attribute it to Roma's calming presence, attention to detail, and organization. She was so open to hearing our vision for the wedding and was steadfast in honoring that vision.
From the first communication I felt like I could trust Roma completely. Planning a lesbian wedding we were nervous picking our vendors that they would truly support an LGBTQ wedding and Roma made my wife and I feel so supported and respected. She was so easy to talk to it felt like we had hired another maid of honor!
During the month leading up to the wedding she handled so many of the logistics that I remember saying "Aren't I supposed to be stressed?" She took that unfortunate aspect of wedding planning completely away!
On the day of she was present and somehow seemed to be in a million places at once but with grace and distance that allowed us to be present in the moment. She handled last minute changes to the seating chart, helped wrangle our giant Italian families, advocated for us at the wedding, and so much more.
I read a lot of reviews prior to selecting vendors so I hope this reaches future brides considering working with Roma-- we cannot recommend her enough!

We want to start by saying that we could not be more grateful to have found Roma in our search for our perfect wedding planner.
From the moment we started picturing our big day, we knew we wanted to blend our Indian and American backgrounds into a fusion wedding that best represented us while honoring our family’s wishes. As two people with a busy work and social life, we struggled to figure out how we could manage this. That was until we met Roma. From our first call, we found that Roma was detail-oriented, knowledgeable about weddings of all cultures, flexible, and, most of all, easy to talk to. We knew she was the perfect wedding planner for us!
Roma has a strong network in the industry! She introduced us to incredible vendors at various price ranges and was more than happy to make new connections with vendors we found along the way. Throughout the process, Roma made sure we were always up to date on what information and decisions were needed from us, all while supporting our evolving vision. As we got closer and closer to the wedding, Roma kept us on track and motivated us with her detailed itinerary, check-ins, and positive energy.
On the Big Day, Roma was an absolute rock star. The day was beyond our wildest dreams! Roma was able to coordinate and transition vendors and guests with ease, all while making time to check in on us. After the wedding, we had so many family members and friends asking who our wedding planner was and how she managed to coordinate such a special, beautiful, and jam-packed day!
It was such a pleasure to work with Roma, and we are so thankful for all that she did to help us create the perfect wedding day, one that represented our love and cultures while honoring our family’s wishes. If you are on the lookout for a wedding planner to help you plan the ultimate wedding, look no further than Roma!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Roma, and I cannot express enough how grateful I am for her exceptional services. From the moment we met, she exuded professionalism, creativity, and a genuine passion for creating the perfect wedding day.
One of the standout qualities of Roma was her ability to truly listen and understand our vision for the wedding. She took the time to get to know us as a couple, our preferences, and our style, and then seamlessly incorporated all of these elements into the planning process. Her attention to detail was impeccable, ensuring that every aspect of the wedding was thoughtfully curated and executed flawlessly.
Throughout the planning process, Roma was always available and responsive. She promptly answered any questions or concerns we had, and Her expertise and guidance were invaluable. She provided us with a comprehensive timeline and checklist, which helped keep us organized and on track.
On the day of the wedding, Roma
truly shined. She coordinated every detail, ensuring that everything ran smoothly and according to plan. From the setup of the ceremony and reception spaces to the coordination of vendors and the management of the timeline, She handled it all with grace and professionalism. This allowed us to fully enjoy our special day without any worries or stress.
Roma’s creativity and attention to detail were evident in every aspect of the wedding. The decor was stunning, and she thoughtfully incorporated personal touches that made the day feel uniquely ours. The flow of the event was seamless, and she ensured that every moment was memorable and meaningful.
Overall, I cannot recommend Roma enough. Her professionalism, creativity, and dedication to creating the perfect wedding day are truly unmatched. She exceeded all of our expectations and made our dream wedding a reality. If you are looking for a wedding planner who will go above and beyond to create a truly unforgettable experience, look no further.

I used Roma for my wedding a few weeks ago and she was wonderful! She really cares about her brides and understands that while it’s a joyous time, it can also be very stressful. She’s very hands on and has great insight and ideas on how to make the day not only special, but stress free. She was our rock—especially the week leading up to the wedding. I highly recommend using Roma for your big day!

If you haven’t booked Roma for your wedding needs, what are you waiting for? Seriously. She is AMAZING. I can not think of 1 bad thing to say about her, or her services. She was attentive, detailed, affordable, listened to my vision and was an absolute asset to my big day. I planned my own wedding, and made all the decor for it, but had no clue of the fine details when it came to the actual flow of the day. Roma came in about a month before my big day and actually took the time to hear and understand my vision. She gave her professional advice, created a timeline for the event, reached out to all my vendors to finalize said timeline as well as contractual obligations, and did all of those last minute details leading up to the day that I just didn’t have the bandwidth left to focus on. And on the day of? I worried about NOTHING. When some of my decor broke in transit, she made it work. When the venue staff was nowhere to be found during the time they were supposed to setup my decor, guess who was there doing it herself, bringing my vision to life. When my website wasn’t updated correctly, guess who let me know? When it came time to wrangle up the troops, she was there to keep us on time. And when my sweetheart decor turned up missing, she was there searching far and wide EVERYWHERE for it, and ultimately used her expertise to find a last minute solution to make that space look just as amazing as the rest of the room, where nobody but the bridal party knew that things were missing. I can go on and on about Roma. She truly was god-sent and allowed me to actually enjoy my wedding day. I don’t think I would have been able to enjoy my wedding had it not been for her! If you’re looking for a wedding planner, or a day of coordinator, look no further. You found the one you were looking for.
*picture of Roma’s quick thinking in action. She was able to create a beautiful Sweetheart table setup using existing materials at the last minute and guests had no idea that it wasn’t intentional*

Roma Thakkar (Weddings by Roma) was absolutely beyond amazing! From start to finish, she understood exactly what we wanted (even when I could barely articulate it myself) and executed everything flawlessly. She was able to take my ideas and make them even better than I could have imagined. Roma made the wedding planning process enjoyable, always being there for us when we needed her. She answered all of our questions, no matter how silly they might have been. Roma helped us find vendors that matched our budget and aesthetic, and handled every little detail from start to finish. Her comprehensive and perfect timeline ensured that everything ran smoothly on the day of the wedding. All of our guests have been raving about our wedding, saying it was the best wedding they've ever been to, and that's all thanks to Roma. Without her, we wouldn't have been able to pull off even a quarter of what she did. Working with Roma was an absolute pleasure, and we highly recommend her services to anyone looking for an incredible wedding planning experience. Honestly, you won't find anyone better...PERIOD. Thank you, Roma, for making our wedding day dreams come true!

Roma was great to work with. Responsive and accommodating. She worked with us to get as much into our busy wedding day schedule was possible. She also did a great job of setting up the sweet heart table the way we wanted it.

We highly recommend Roma if you are looking for a wedding planner! She was professional, organized, helpful and responsive throughout our whole journey! I was so amazed at how detailed the timeline is that she put together for us. We had a mixed Western/Chinese wedding. Words can’t even express how much we appreciate Roma especially on the day of the wedding. We had 3 different locations for our wedding, from door game starting at 9 AM to tea ceremonies (in two different locations) to the ceremony and to the reception, Roma was on top of everything!! She guided us and made sure we were on time. Thank you so much Roma! We honestly wouldn’t have been able to pull off that day without her.

Roma was a great pleasure to work with. We had her for “day of” planning, which included an immunization the month before. Being a bride from out of town, she was flexible in meeting with me virtually to discuss our needs. The month leading up to the wedding, we met adequate enough times to finalize plans. Being a Type A person, I had already started working on a schedule for the wedding day before meeting with Roma only to find out that she was going to develop the schedule and coordinate with ALL the vendors as well for me! Huge relief.
The day of went so smoothly and everything was executed well. Thank you Roma for helping us execute our big day!

Roma was amazing to work with. She is very thorough, communicative, pays attention to detail, and super friendly! She made everything possible, exactly how it needed to be! I couldn’t thank her enough ❤️❤️❤️
10/17/2022 • Anna and Kevan B
Roma was absolutely incredible! We booked her as our day of coordinator and she made the day stress-free and ensured everything ran smoothly! From the very first meeting she was organized, professional, and very communicative. We had no doubts that she was on top of everything. Even with last minute hiccups and changes due to weather, Roma took care of everything quickly and efficiently and ensured we were able to enjoy the day without worrying about the little details. We truly could not have done it without her! She ensured our vision was clearly communicated to the vendors, kept the timeline for the day running according to plan, and was an absolute joy to work with. We could not recommend her enough!!

I have to begin with how Roma is the best!! she is who every bride needs to help them create their vision and bring it to life. I am more than happy that she made our day feel like a dream come true . all the worries of planning a wedding brushed off my shoulders, she cares a lot about how you feel and getting things done. she helped with decor and made magic work! i would recommend her to any bride and groom looking for professional work.

We hired Weddings By Roma to coordinate our wedding and you should too! Roma is professional, thoughtful, understood our taste, and helped us bring our vision of the wedding we wanted to life. She replied to our emails promptly and is a delight to work with. She met with us on site a couple times prior to our wedding. She is thorough and will think of details you didn't even know you wanted. You will be quite pleased when you hire Weddings By Roma.

Roma was amazing! Her planning and enthusiasm made the process so much easier for me, especially since I do not live close by. From the beginning, Roma was involved, offering her opinion when needed, without being pushy. She researched and contacted other vendors for me so that we could compare and make choices more easily. She was always available to talk/text or email. Our wedding went off beautifully, thanks to Roma. The money we paid for Roma's services was the best investment we made in our wedding planning.

I just used Roma for my 8/27 wedding and I highly recommend. She was the most affordable in the area, too! I’m from Boston and was trying to plan the wedding at my family’s home on Long Island. As soon as I booked with Roma she was willing to coordinate with me (knowing that I wasn’t on Long Island too often). Much closer to the wedding: I had a “tough” caterer who just wanted everything his way- Roma took over with him completely and told me that all communication with him would go through her. I am a total control freak and could have passed even more to her and she would have happily completed the task. In short, i would hire her again in a heartbeat 💓

We could not have asked for a better wedding planner. Roma was very proactive especially with making sure everything was in order with the outside vendors. She also spent valuable time with us in order to have a great understanding of how exactly we wanted our wedding day to go. Any issue or concern we had, big or small, she was all over it. Most importantly, she was fun and easy to work with!

Roma was extremely helpful for me. She kept me on top of things every step of the way and went out of her way to help me do some research to make my day perfect. Highly recommend!

Roma did an absolutely beautiful job with our mandap and decorations. We requested ivory, peach and blush flowers in the mandap, with plenty of greenery as well, and everything looked perfect. The centerpieces were rustic, chic and beautiful as well. Thank you, Roma!

Had Roma give advice and select arrangements for our Vidhi and pre-wedding dinner decor 2 years ago. Seemed effortless and all the choices came together wonderfully! Easy to work with.

I had my wedding at Terrace on the Park, and Roma created my fairytale wedding ! She listens to all my wants and concerns and created even better than what I expected !! 100% recommend !!! She’s so talented, you will not be disappointed.

I really enjoyed working with Roma for my wedding decorations. She helped bring my vision to life for our big day and was great at last minute suggestions to really enhance the decor! Roma is prompt, easy to work with and I would not hesitate to ask for her help for any of our future events!

Roma did an excellent job with our floral needs for our wedding day. Her price was reasonable for what we wanted compared to the other vendors that we contacted. She understood our vision and was accommodating with change requests when I wanted some flower color changes at our sample look day. On the day of the wedding everything went smoothly from the bouquets to the center pieces and the moving of our floral arch from the wedding ceremony to reception area. Roma and her team worked quickly and flawlessly to make our wedding beautiful and all the photos came out gorgeous thanks to her flowers.

I had a great experience working with Roma for my sister's 25th wedding anniversary. She is absolutely wonderful! She was knowledgeable, kind and easy to communicate with. Every detail was absolutely beautiful!! I would definitely recommend her.

We had a great experience working with Roma for our wedding - she was very knowledgable in her craft, she really understood our vision and executed it beautifully! When working with her she was easy to communicate with, organized, and she took her time to understand what exactly we had in mind. All in all, we loved working with her and would definitely recommend her!

Roma is an absolute Gem!! She actually listens to her clients and really absorbs and understands exactly what they are looking for. Such an easy person to work with; she made the entire experience so pleasant and enjoyable. I had a week of wedding events and Roma worked with me on designing the look for my sangeet and wedding ceremony days which had between 300 - 400 guests each.
I wanted a lot of Very specific elements for each event in terms of fabrics, colors, lighting, furniture e.t.c. that I actually sketched out for her. She was able to find every single thing I asked for and give her own unique touches and beautiful ideas to the final looks bringing it all together. Roma is very creative and thoughtful in her approach. She was also so accommodating and always responded to my late night calls and texts almost right away!
Additionally, I worked with her directly for many months leading up to the events and we even went on a site visit to one of the venues to map out the staging on the field so that she can see what type of land we were working with, measurements as well as the logistics of bringing everything in. For the wedding day she actually ended up working throughout the night setting up in time for our morning ceremony since the venue was so strict with letting us prep a day ahead. I'm grateful that she was so understanding of the vision I had which she brought to life...even better than I had hoped for!
The most wonderful thing about working with Roma is that she wasn't transactional at all and I didn't feel like just "another" bride. She felt like a true family member and engaged with me and my parents/brothers/cousins comfortably in conversations with lots of laughs and fun through the many months of planning. I will always remember that!
Definitely would recommend 5 STARS all the way!

Roma is the absolute best wedding planner ! She was with me through multiple rescheduling due to COVID - she always had a smile on her face. From planning a big wedding to something intimate she made sure I had the perfect wedding !
There's no one else I would use for all future events - can't recommend her enough !
Planning a successful wedding is not always about checklists and timelines. It's about being able to leave an impression that lingers even after the occasion ends. I have been a wedding planner all my career, and through my experience, for a couple and their guests, reminiscing memories mean more than anything. It doesn't take an extravagant wedding to be successful, but creating simple, personal and emotional moments that create memories of a lifetime.
