nbaht's reviews

Maybe more of a 3.5/5. Good selection, custom-made clothes. Better prices than other Indian bridal shops (after the negotiating).
The negative: lots of mistakes in our order (which was for bride and groom + 5 groomsmen and 5 bridesmaids, + mothers). Disorganized. The clothes didn't fit perfectly but they will alter it as many times as needed.

As DJ's, these guys are great. As wedding DJ's, not so smooth. Probably a better fit for clubs. THe transitions were awkward between events (cake cutting, first dance, etc.). The major problem was they had agreed to play whatever we wished however, they ended up NOT playing the typical 50's/60's hits that the bride's side wished for and only playing the Punjabi music for the groom's side - despite the groom and his parents telling them to mix the music.
HOwever, if you need them for a regular party, probably a good pick.

Palm Desert/ Palm Springs is a great place to relax and unwind after the stressful days building up to the wedding. A place where EVERYONE is so friendly, there is shopping and golf. Deserts to explore. Great restaurants. You'll need to rent a car to get around. The resort is clean, spacious and linked to a Mariott hotel by shuttle.

Lisa does beautiful work. We had 2 ceremonies so worked with her twice. She is easy-going and fun to work with. She had someone to help with hair because we were 7 on the day of the reception. They accommodated the bridesmaids wishes - they decided the morning of, to have their hair curled, swept to the side and pinned with an orchid on one side. They all had the same style but each looked unique. One of my bridesmaids is going to hire Lisa for her own wedding.

Not much choice out there for men's tuxes. Syd Silver we thought had the better selection in colours. Prices were comparable to everyone else's. Service was not so great after all the tuxes came in and deposits were down especially when we had to coordinate groomsmen in different cities, getting measured in 3 different cities in Ontario.

Beautiful pictures. Professional, efficient, quick work. Just visit their website. They have been doing South Asian weddings for many many years so if you fit into this category, things go very smoothly and there's no need to explain every step of the way.

Great service in Exeter, Ontario. From the first appointment, the service is personalized. ONe of the saleswomen will take about 1.5 hours with you to figure out what looks good, what your likes/dislikes are. By the end, I knew everyone's name and all the women there knew mine as well! Smaller selection but it is all great quality, they have shoes, jewelry, underwear, etc. They answer emails very promptly and are all professional

Beautiful site, with a beautiful banquet room - hardwood floors, 25 ft. windows overlooking golf course. it's a 5/5 based on the look. The wedding coordinators do a great job - are patient, answer questions at any time. We also held the rehearsal dinner there.
The only bad things I can say are concerning the food. It tasted great and was beautifully prepared (authentic Chinese and Indian food) but took a long time for service. The wait staff was not as helpful as we would have liked on the night of the reception. For example, the head waitress told us there was no more rice for the tables that were missing it but later on the chef told us there was more than enough and a lot was thrown out.Seemed to be a lot of miscommunication. For the rehearsal dinner as well, we spoke with the head of the restaurant to make sure we would have a large choice in the menu but when the 25 of us showed up, there were only two main courses to choose from.
Another point to mention: the balanced has to be settled 10 days before the wedding date. We had the unfortunate luck of having 14 guests cancel at the last minute due to a death in the family - we could not be refunded on this.

Malvina was great. Created a look for the decorations that we really loved. Gorgeous centrepieces that everyone wanted to take home. Soft flowing decorations for the headtable. She knows what looks good and will accommodate your budget. Very professional and efficient in communications but in set-up as well. Has good contacts for flowers.

We used paper damsels for invitations, table cards and menu cards. The invitations were beautiful - all our guests commented on them. Two sisters who work around the clock to get their products delivered. Great to work with. Very professional, friendly. We had no idea what we wanted for invitations, but they worked with us to make beautiful cards that accommodated our multiple ceremony/multiple date wedding. For the table/menu cards, we knew what we wanted and Paper Damsels worked with us to produce it within our budget. Beautiful work.
