DO NOT USE— STOLEN DEPOSIT— we hired this business back in October 2022 after our meeting. They requested a $2000 deposit to hold the date. We paid this deposit and did not receive a “contract” for 5 months (we would ask every two weeks). The contract we received had the wrong dates, and was blank— with a $22,000 subtotal at the bottom (no price breakdown). We requested a detailed quote, met with them again. They then provided the exact same quote, with added items from our meeting with a note to “subtotal it ourselves”— which was near $35,000 (our discussed budget was 20-25 for reference). Our deposit was given one year before our event, we had zero understanding of what we were praying for or what our event would look like 3 months before our actual wedding date.

We ended up firing them 7 weeks out and going with a different decorator. They kept our deposit even though no services were provided. This is an unprofessional business that made the already stressful process much worse— you can find much better decorators in the area for the same price and better quality.

After our event, we were grateful we went with a different direction.

Absolutely thrilled with Dharma Events! Their attention to detail and personalized approach made our party a smashing success. From stunning décor to seamless communication, the owners went above and beyond to exceed our expectations. If you're searching for event organizers who understand your vision and deliver beyond compare, look no further. Five stars all the way!

A Bride's Nightmare: Dharma Events

While the end product of Dharma Event's service was commendable, the journey to get there was nothing short of a nightmare. In the midst of the joyous chaos that is wedding planning, working with Shaloo proved to be the most excruciating part of the process.

We collaborated with over ten different vendors for our wedding, and it was only Shaloo’s service that gave us trouble. This alone should speak volumes about the level of professionalism (or lack thereof) that we encountered.

The most glaring issue was the complete lack of transparency. We were left in the dark throughout the process, unsure of what to expect next. This was not helped by the fact that we never received an actual contract or payment schedule. Instead, Shaloo would casually ask us to send her money just two days before she wanted payment. This lack of formal procedure and last-minute demands added unnecessary stress to an already hectic time.

Furthermore, Shaloo’s communication was inconsistent and unreliable. She would constantly change what she said on the phone versus what she would include in her emails. This led to confusion and misunderstandings, further complicating the process.

An incident during my wedding further exemplifies the issues with Dharma Events. Despite having communicated my preferences multiple times, Shaloo failed to bring the requested decor items. When I, the bride, called her to ask, she yelled at me, demanding that I show her proof I had asked for those items. This is just one example of Shaloo not remembering requests, failing to keep track, and then blaming me for changing my mind.

In conclusion, while the end result was satisfactory, the path to get there was filled with unnecessary hurdles and stress, courtesy of Shaloo's behavior. I would advise future brides and grooms to consider this review before deciding to work with Shaloo. Remember, a beautiful wedding is not just about the end product, but also about the journey of planning it. Choose vendors who respect that journey.

Zero star, but that is not an option on Google. These guys are total scammers! DO NOT USE THEM!!! They took my money on the night before the wedding and did not show up on my wedding day to do the decorations. Shaloo is a scammer. So is Bobby. Please avoid at all costs. They ruined my wedding. I will not forgive them for this. They should be ashamed of themselves. That too they are right behind the Gurdwara where we had our wedding. They could not even have shown up for that! AVOID AVOID AVOID!!!
