"If you're considering working with Eventful by Pooja for your wedding or event, let this be the reassurance you need. My now-husband and I only had four months to plan our 300-person, two-day, traditional South Indian wedding...I personally knew she [Pooja] was the right fit from our very first meeting. She asked thoughtful questions about our vision, eased our concerns, and was so warm and reassuring from the start...It is now two weeks after the wedding, and relatives and friends are STILL reaching out to tell us how flawlessly the entire weekend went and to specifically extend their gratitude to Pooja & her team for how smoothly everything went. Because of her, we were able to be fully present and focus on the emotions of getting married while Pooja handled the countless logistics behind the scenes..."

"If you value peace of mind, genuine care, and unwavering reliability, Pooja is the planner you want by your side. ...Pooja didn't just manage our wedding; she protected our joy. She took on every moving part so we could simply be present, and because of her, I didn't worry about a single thing on my wedding day.... What moved us even more were the reactions from our guests. COUNTLESS people came up to us saying things like, "this was such a smooth day," "The day was so organized," and "well done!" These comments were completely unsolicited, and every single one I attribute to Pooja's planning and execution skills..."

"I cannot say enough great things about working with Pooja as our Day-of Wedding Coordinator! She was extremely professional, organized, and a pleasure to work. Her work extended beyond just the day of the wedding as she created a detailed day-of timeline and run of show and was a liaison with our vendors. Pooja was very calm under pressure and made our special day as seamless as possible. There is so much planning and decisions made leading up to a wedding that it can be hard to actually enjoy the big day. I can honestly say that I trusted Pooja wholeheartedly and had the best wedding day ever. I highly recommend Pooja for your wedding or event!"

"I cannot recommend Pooja enough! She planned our post-elopement celebration, and everything went so smoothly, it truly exceeded our expectations...Pooja handled every detail with care, making the entire process completely stress-free for us. Her communication was always clear and timely, and we felt supported every step of the way. Our guests had an amazing time, and we were able to just relax and enjoy every moment thanks to her. If you're looking for someone who's warm, organized, incredibly intuitive, and will treat your celebration like it matters deeply, hire Pooja. She's magic..."

"Pooja is the absolute best wedding planner you could hope to work with, and hiring her was by far the best decision we made for our wedding. We booked her partial planning package for a one-evening, 200 person Indian wedding (ceremony + reception), and there's honestly no way our event would have come together without her. From the start, she took so much off our plates. Her network and sourcing ability are incredible, and we found vendors who fit both our vision and our budget, which mattered a lot to us. Because we'd emphasized staying within a strict budget, she always gave us multiple options at different price points....what stood out most is that Pooja is so much more than a planner or another vendor. She's genuinely warm, and somewhere along the way she became a real friend. She put in every ounce of effort to make this the best experience for us, insisting on taking errands and tasks off our hands so that on the day of, we could fully immerse ourselves in the night without worrying about a single detail. Our families all loved how warmly she treated everyone and made sure they were comfortable and having a good time. She'll always go the extra mile. One small example: when my wife ended up barefoot after stepping off the mandap, Pooja offered up her own shoes for the walk to the changing room. We can't recommend her enough, and we'll be sending all our friends her way."

"Pooja helped us develop a comprehensive timeline of our events and managed all vendor communications leading up to each event, so that my fiance and I could truly forget about it all and enjoy the wedding. We appreciated that she really took the time to understand our vision, and worked as hard to bring it to life as if it were her own wedding. She truly felt like part of our family by the end! If you're at all debating hiring a planner, this is your sign to go for it. As a type A bride, I was pleasantly surprised by how much we were able to trust Pooja to handle all the details, including the hard stuff, and that's a testament to her skills, work ethic, and knowledge of this industry. Thank you for everything Pooja!"
