Working with Minoti was delightful from the first introductory call.  I had spoken to a few local Indian wedding planners and there was something about Minoti's demeanor and humble nature that sparked with my personality.  She respected my questions, never made me feel like she was going to drive me down a path I was uncomfortable with, and our conversation were always easy. 

My favorite part of working with Minoti was how charming, bubbly, and fun she was to be around.  During a time where I was under tremendous stress after a long work day, and wedding planning with family on two coasts, she made things feel less complicated.  Our décor planning meetings always felt more like a hangout with a close girlfriend versus a transaction with a vendor.  Minoti offered up ideas based on her interactions with our personalities, and was never offended if we choose a different path.  Additionally, Minoti would even catch me and ask me why I was straying from my original vision, and helped me make sure I wasn't compromising on anything from our earliest conversations.

The transformation we saw from our friend/design coordinator to our month of coordinator was something we very much so appreciated.  She was able to be firm when needed, and responded to all of our emergencies and fire drills gracefully even when we were freaking out.  Minoti had a naturally intuitive sense of what we were feeling (good or bad), and how to address our anxieties (whether they were warranted or unwarranted). I would highly recommend Vermillion Weddings to anyone.  Minoti keeps her fingers on the pulse of what is trending, what is exiting/new, and what's overdone. 

My parents who are very picky were so impressed with what we put together, and have been getting calls since the day after our events about how our wedding was the most fun and well organized event they had ever been to (this was both our Indian family, and our Indian/non-Indian friends.)  Everything was seamless, and even day of emergencies were handled without any stress on us.  I credit this to how Minoti organized our vision and made it into a reality that our family and guests could see, smell, taste, hear and feel.  Thanks again for everything!
