"Planning a wedding in India while living in the United States is no easy task.
One of my most important and stressful tasks was finding the perfect lengha for
my reception. Having visited a few stores in India and in the States, I was discouraged
and frustrated that I couldn't find "the one." I called up Neha, who I shared the
details (appearance, budget, weight) of my dream lengha with. She assured me that
we would find it and told me to book my ticket to Delhi. She even arranged for convenient
transportation to get me to and from the shop.
The
shopping experience was phenomenal – though I don't speak Hindi, Neha flawlessly
communicated with the shop assistants and they brought out perfect lengha after
perfect lengha. We eventually found THE one – a gorgeous pale gold with purple and
green embroidery and a stunning purple dupatta. Neha followed up with the shop to make sure the lengha was being completed on schedule. When I returned a couple of
weeks before my wedding, I was whisked into the dressing room and slipped on the
lengha, which fit like a glove and truly made me feel like a princess.
I couldn't have asked for more from Neha – she found me the perfect dress at the
perfect price (even got me a discount!). If only planning the rest of the wedding
was this easy!"

"I was unable to come to India because I was a first year law student and I needed
help finding Indian outfits to wear for my cousin and best friends' weddings that
were taking place immediately after my finals ended! I could not find what I was
looking for in the States nor did I have any shops close to me that I could easily
access. I don't have many relatives left in India who would be able to run around
and get the things I really wanted. Additionally they probably would not have let
me pay them back for whatever they bought! I contacted Neha and in a short time
she was able to take photos of outfits for me even though most of the shops usually
don't let you take pictures. She has great relationships with the top shops in New
Delhi and took pictures with her Blackberry and sent them real time to me. We went
back and forth to help me decide which ones would be the best for me and for what
occasion. I don't really have much of a style sense for what is going on in India
because I was born and raised in the States, even though my parents are from India,
so she was able to help me find the most current and trending styles that would
also fit my personal style. Neha asked me questions to understand what exactly I
was looking for and she spend time at each shop finding the best trends for the
best price. I gave her my measurements and she had the outfits altered to my size.
Additionally she arranged for the items to be delivered to me in New York! All in
all, Neha is personable, easy to work with, accommodating with the time zone difference
between India and New York. She was always accessible by phone and email, which
is rare with many of the shops I had tried to work with directly in India. I will
most certainly use Neha again to assist me with all future Indian weddings!"

"I was coming to India for a very short time period and had already seen a Satya
Paul couture outfit online from their recent fashion show which I had to have. The
lengha was not available in stores yet but Neha contacted the head office in Gurgaon
and was able to arrange an appointment with me with the designer of the lengha!
She helped me to communicate with them to get my dream lengha and even make some
alterations so that it would be perfectly suited to my style and body type. As a
typical bride, I was very stressed that I could not take the lengha back with me
due to time constraints, but Neha helped ease my tension by constantly following
up with the people at Satya Paul and giving me regular updates. It made me very
comfortable knowing I had a liason in Delhi making sure my lengha was getting made
how i wanted it. She made sure the lengha was delivered on time from India to me
in Virginia! She was also able to help me get my jewellery made for my wedding.
I had a particular gold and kundan style in mind which was created and given to
me by a trusted jeweller. I also had a set idea of how I wanted my bridemaids outfits
to look and Neha was able to help me make them a reality! If I did not have her
help, I would have not known how to even go about fulfilling all my wedding dreams
as I have no family or relatives to help me in Delhi and I wanted to shop in the
city where the fashion trends were up to date."

"Neha was so helpful in finding me puja and mendhi outfits plus all the accessories. I had transitioned into a new position during the whole wedding planning process and was not able to go to India to shop for my own wedding! However, I was able to get exactly what I wanted through Neha's keen eyes. She was extremely patient and listened to what I wanted and provided me with all the details through the process. She made me feel very comfortable by keeping me posted with photographs and making multiple trips to ensure that my needs are met. Her taste is impeccable and I can't wait to wear the outfits she found for me. Overall, the process was so easy and enjoyable and I wish I had asked Neha to get ALL my wedding outfits!"
