that we would hold the wedding in our backyard. We were used to having parties in our back yard but nothing that would required all of the planning and details for holding a wedding in our backyard. After our first meeting with Kathiya many months before the event, I told my wife and daughter that she will be the most valuable partner in planning this event and she did not disappoint. First off, she was very pleasant and professional to deal with. She knew every little detail that needed to be addressed for the event. She kept us focused on what needed to be done and in the timeframe that it needed to be done. She worked well with our caterer, our tent company and our florist. They truly worked together as a team to make this a very special day for everyone involved. Kathiya was the difference in making our event a "nice" event to making our event an "epic" event. I could go on and on about the little things that she did and handled for us so we never became overwhelmed. We have two other daughters and we will definitely be having Kathiya work with us again when their time comes.

nything we could have envisioned! It was a pleasure to work with Kathiya and her team at Zela, and choosing them was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! We were concerned that the size of our venue and number of different rooms for the ceremony, cocktail hour, and dinner would be too large for the number of people, and Kathiya designed the floral arrangements in such a way that each of the rooms was festive, magical, and romantic, and the spaces felt intimate despite their size. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about the flowers and we are still getting compliments! The Zela team was incredibly professional and thoughtful and made our evening run seamlessly. We feel so fortunate and we highly recommend choosing Zela!

ng turned out. Kathiya is thoughtful and attentive, and always heard out my (now) husband and I in the planning process, which we really appreciate. Kathiya has a keen eye for detail, and I appreciated that we were able to collaborate in an online portal to share design inspiration and a “to-do” checklist making sure we were on track heading up to the wedding day. On the day of the wedding, Kathiya and her team seamlessly coordinated all of our vendors and ensured that our wedding party knew where they needed to be and when for special activities. Our wedding was beautiful and ran on time thanks to Kathiya and her team!

e, she quickly secured a new venue, sourced stunning decorations, rearranged the floorplan, and coordinated all our vendors to execute a flawless ceremony plan in less than 24 hours. Throughout the wedding day Kathiya and her team were like invisible superheroes, ensuring that the bride and the entire wedding party were completely stress-free and able to simply enjoy every moment of the day. Their attention to detail and proactive problem-solving meant that we didn't have to worry about a single thing. One of the many things we appreciated about Kathiya was her knack for finding the perfect vendors within our budget. From the photographer to the florist, every aspect of our wedding was handled with care and expertise. We cannot express enough gratitude to Kathiya for her incredible work as our wedding planner. She turned our dream wedding into a reality, and for that, we will be forever thankful. If you're looking for someone who will go above and beyond to make your special day absolutely perfect, look no further than Zela. They are simply the best!

They helped make the space beautiful and kept us all on time throughout the day.

r wedding day beautiful. The ceremony florals were stunning and melded so perfectly with the surroundings. Both the cocktail hour and reception rooms were gorgeous and all design components tied in perfectly together. We received so many compliments from our guests on the look and feel of the spaces. Kathiya was reliable and communicative throughout the planning process and really delivered on the vision outlined in the design deck she put together for us. We would absolutely work with Kathiya again on our next special occasion!

nning of the planning process until the last moment of our special day, their team demonstrated a level of professionalism and expertise that made our wedding experience truly unforgettable. I know everyone says planning a wedding is stressful and complex but Kathiya made planning our wedding a breeze. Kathiya listened attentively to our ideas, ensuring that every aspect of our vision was taken into account. She took the time to understand our unique style and didn’t try to force her ideas on us. No matter how many questions we had or how terrified we were about the rain (it was an out door event), she remained calm and composed, assuring us that everything was under control. In addition to her patience, Kathiya had an extraordinary calming presence. She was always available to provide support while offering solutions to unexpected challenges that arose along the way (unwanted tent). Her reassuring demeanor and positive attitude made us feel at ease. But above all, it was Kathiya’s professionalism that was truly admirable. She was very organized. From coordinating with vendors to managing the timeline of events, she orchestrated everything flawlessly. Her attention to detail was remarkable, and she went above and beyond to ensure that every aspect of our wedding was executed to perfection. As we partied the night away, Kathiya and her team took care of business. If you're searching for a wedding planner who is patience, professional, and easy to work with, I highly recommend Kathiya and her team at Zela Events. Her expertise and commitment to creating an amazing wedding experience are unmatched.

sband and I decided to have a small backyard wedding and had no idea where to even start. Kathiya was organized and on top of all the details for us. She was able to connect us with reliable and wonderful vendors. And on the day of our wedding she took care of EVERYTHING, so we could just concentrate on having a great time. She made sure our wedding was not only a once in a lifetime experience for us, but made sure all our guests had a great time.

athiya listened to every detail of what I imagined and brought my dream to life. We got married on our farm and truly built the “venue” from the ground up. Kathiya is knowledgeable, talented, and a pleasure to work with. Zela also handled our florals which were beautiful and elegant. I would recommend Zela Events to anyone planning a special event. Kathiya and her team take the stress out of the day and make sure that everything is absolutely perfect. I am forever thankful that I found Zela Events for our big day.

pared to cross the finish line and decided to book Zela Events about 6 weeks before the big day. From the onset of booking, Kathiya was there every step of the way, helping to coordinate with all our vendors, manage communication with the venue, and create a day of schedule to ensure everything ran smoothly. On our wedding day, Kathiya and her team arrived bright and early to ensure the day was a success. They continued to provide support throughout the day and night and we couldn’t have imagined our day without the them! Thank you to the Zela team for your dedication, advocacy, professionalism, and support.

raw spaces is unmatched and she has the relationships, experience, and vision to execute a beautiful event. She listened to my ideas, tackled any hiccups with poise, and was a necessary and guiding force in putting together our outdoor tented wedding. It was such a pleasure during the stressful wedding planning process to have complete trust in Kathiya as my planner and I'd recommend her to any bride looking for coordination and planning services. Thank you Kathiya and Zela Events!!!

a beautiful theme. Day-of felt effortless because of her direction and coordination. I’m so grateful that we hired Kathiya.

night was going to look like. I was so stressed out with the details and decor so I decided to give Kathiya a call. After that one call, I did not have to worry about a thing! When I walked into my venue (Antique Loft) in Hoboken, I was so pleasantly surprised (We couldn't see the venue beforehand due to Covid). My husband and I had already done a ceremony so we didn't want to have another lavish event but just a fun, evening party. The decors were perfect for the event and venue. Kathiya was so flexible and accommodating throughout the whole process. We received so many compliments for the flower decor and the whole evening. Thank you Kathiya and Zela Events! I will definitely be in touch with them for any future events.

really relaxed". My husband and I were able to be truly in the moment on our wedding day and all the days leading up to it. All because Kathiya and her team were extremely helpful staying in line with us - our vision, our budget, and what was really important to us. We felt 'heard'. We look at our photos, videos and continue to talk about how perfect Our day was. Zela Events is a top notch company in every way.

ake my fuzzy descriptions and bring them to life. She spent time with me iterating on floor plans, arrangement options to meet my budget and really knew the event space well enough that she was able to tell me things to look out for and what would and wouldn’t work in the space. I was extremely blessed to have Kathiya on-site on my wedding day and she was such a pro. Everything was seamless and perfect. I couldn’t have asked for a better team to be there with me and my husband to create the most memorable day. Thank you Zela Events! ❤️

rd to describe what I want. Lucky for me Kathiya understood the gist of the what I said and let me tell you she made my Dream into a Reality. As a little girl you always picture what you would want for your wedding but when the moment comes it’s so hard to make decisions. Kathiya and her team made this process so easy and enjoyable. Zela events went above and beyond to make every detail amazing from the moment you walked into the cocktail hour to the moment they opened the doors to the reception. My guest were in awe with the decor and floral arrangements. I literally felt like I was on a cloud with all the beautiful florals since my theme was majority white. I made time to enter the reception room with my husband before the guest and I truly cried tears of happiness. Even my husband who is not emotional teared up. I don’t know how they do it but it was simply magical. I can not thank Kathiya and her team enough for making my dream wedding into a reality. My guest still reach out and compliment all the details Zela events made happen. To future brides if you are particular and indecisive like me do not think twice to hire Zela Events you will not regret it I promise. I can’t thank Kathiya and her team enough. Thank you thank you thank you !! 10 stars if it was an option

he was able to pull everything together for us in under 3 months. She is super organized and responsive, has all the right contacts, understands the vision and knows exactly what it takes to execute it within a budget. The best decision we made was hiring her personal team of servers, bartenders and assistants. They were incredibly professional, experienced, resourceful, and pleasant. Many of our guests mentioned them by name and commented on how wonderful they were. I was super impressed with how quickly and seamlessly they handled the cocktail hour which unfortunately got rained out. They improvised without compromising the party or timeline and Val made sure I had plenty to drink so I wouldn't panic! ;) Thank you! We would absolutely use Zela Events in the future!

st event, and given that it was in our house, the logistics were more complicated that a venue. Kathiya helped setup and run a 250 person dinner at our place flawlessly. She helped with the design, decor, coordination with various vendors and had very helpful suggestions for us. She was our trusted partner. We would recommend her highly to anyone and look forward to working with her at our next event!

ay of my wedding I could just sit back and enjoy because Zela Events handled everything and exceeded all expectations.

s flawless . Look forward to working with her again this December !

like. She and her team transformed an empty space into both a ceremony space and then later a banquet hall and it impressed not only me but all of my guests. People are still talking about how beautiful the venue was and how delicious the food tasted. On the day of the wedding, when I was nervous that something would go wrong, Kathiya was there on-site attending to every tiny detail. I remember turning away from a conversation I was having with friends to remark on how seamlessly the dinner service was going. 180 people were fed, happy, and ready to dance!

the event she was on tops of things. Her team was also very professional and friendly. We would welcome the chance to work with Kathiya again and highly recommend her to others!

ing year. Navigating the town restrictions, ensuring the safety of our family members and taking on day of logistics became a daunting task. Hiring Zela Events not only massively eased our minds, but the team also assisted with keeping our guests safe and the bride and groom from needing to worry about anything at all on the day. The team’s assistance prior to the wedding date made the planning process seamless. Our wedding was executed beautifully and we received so many compliments about Zela Events’ professionalism and design. Our family highly recommends Zela Events for your special day; it definitely made ours magical.”

d and thorough, very quick to respond while staying in constant communication, positive throughout the entire process with many additional hurdles given the current climate and happy to adapt/be flexible to put ours and our guests safety and concerns first. Kathiya created beautiful design boards and extremely helpful floor plans that enabled us to see how our backyard would be transformed into a beautiful wedding event. On the day of the wedding, Kathiya seamlessly set up the event and adapted to changes that had to be made for the layout and floor plan without any fuss. She recommended amazing vendors ie. DJ, Food truck, rentals, tent, etc as well as communicated with my existing vendors. Kathiya was extremely professional throughout the entire process and took away so much of the stress! All of my guests were so impressed by the wedding setup and had an amazing time. I highly recommend Zela Events for any event big or small!
