Being a professional living in the UK my fiancé (now husband) Balvant and I knew there was no way we were going to be able to pull off the glamorous Indian wedding we had been dreaming about from thousands of miles away. Ragini always made us feel as though she had everything 100% under control. (You want this in a planner, especially being so far away). Ragini respected my input and added her special touch to my ideas. My wedding was something out of a glamorous Karan Johar movie! It was the PERFECT wedding and it’s all because of them.

Being a professional living in the UK my fiancé (now husband) Balvant and I knew there was no way we were going to be able to pull off the glamorous Indian wedding we had been dreaming about from thousands of miles away. Being long distance is hard enough, but with the added stress of planning an Indian wedding in Mumbai we knew we were going to need help. Hence, we started our research on the perfect planners. We were aware that we would require two trips, one to set up and the final wedding trip in 2019. Whilst visiting Mumbai during trip 1, our goal was to finalise our venue, outfits and find the right wedding planner. We spent an entire weekend meeting different planners, it was exhausting, they either cost too much with not a lot to show for it or they spent the entire meeting talking about themselves instead of helping us develop our ideas. After one of our excruciating meeting, I came across Ragini’s details from an online search at 12am, I decided to call her immediately (as we were short of time and had to fly back soon). She kindly answered and was available the next day to meet. During our meeting, we knew she was the one and it was such a relief we found Ragini and the Dholi Saja Ke rekhna team. We had picked the venue first and hired Ragini after. Ragini had 7 months to plan and organise 6 events which included, Pooja, Haldi, Mehndi, Sangeet, Wedding and Reception packed into two days in back to back ceremonies. Throughout the planning process, she helped keep us organised in every detail. Ragini was attentive, organised, and resourceful and ensured we met deadlines. Ragini always made us feel as though she had everything 100% under control. (You want this in a planner, especially being so far away). Ragini respected my input and added her special touch to my ideas. I loved everything she came up with, she is highly creative and resourceful. Although, we were based in different countries, Ragini was easy to contact each time and easy to work with, relieving the stress of the wedding planning process. She is very good at keeping scheduling, adapting accordingly, efficient and incredibly patient. If you need a co-ordinator, pick Ragini and the Dholi Saja kai rakhna team. Not only does she do an amazing job, but she does it with a warm heart and is very professional in a friendly way! We thoroughly enjoyed the planning process because of her. In every interaction, either with email, phone or person, Ragini exceeded my expectations, she is strong, classy, compassionate and communicates effectively and with purpose, what more can you ask for?

Ragini helped to alleviate any additional stress leading up to the wedding by providing helpful tips and resources that kept my husband and I on track for our big day. On the day of both the events she made sure all of our attendants (and little ones!) knew exactly what they were doing, and made it fun and enjoyable throughout. I HIGHLY recommend all brides hire a day-of co-ordinator. It made both the days so much more enjoyable, and definitely reduced both our stress levels. It’s worth every penny! We had several vendors such as Priest, Bouncers, Makeup Artist, Photographers, Mehndi Artist, Bangel Makers, Punjabi Dholaks etc and it was great to NOT be the go-to person for all of these people on the day- of for ourselves and immediate family. Ragini knew how to line everyone up before the ceremony and didn’t let me forget anything. With the help of Ragini and Doli Saja ke rakhna, we were able to pull off our Big Fat Indian wedding with 250 happy guest and no issues. She was phenomenal at recommending AMAZING vendors with great reputations. Although we wished she provided more competitive rates with certain vendors, she took our concerns and budgets seriously. Even when we were stressed out and losing our mind as we were approaching the wedding she remained our rock. She effortlessly manage transport of all our international guest in an efficient manner. Words cannot express my gratitude for Ragini and her number 1 team. My wedding was something out of a glamorous Karan Johar movie! It was the PERFECT wedding and it’s all because of them. I came to them with a simple idea and they worked their magic and brought it to life. Ragini is a top-notch planner and I am incredibly lucky to have had her help. If you want to pull of your dream wedding without the stress and anxiety of wedding planning. I highly recommend Ragini and the Doli Saja kai rekhna team, you will not be disappointed. A very happy bride! Thank you for everything!
