"Meeta and her team helped us without dual-culture wedding (we had two ceremonies!) on April 13th at Park Savoy. I cannot say enough about how hard working they are and so very detail oriented. They truly are a definition of going above and beyond. They were available at all times during wedding planning process and helped calm my nerves about some worries I had. They did a phenomenal job throughout the whole process. They coordinated the day of the event so well that our friends and family are still raving about how well planned and organized everything was! I cannot thank them enough for making our day so special and most importantly stress free. Literally everything went according to plan if not better! Would recommend to anyone looking for true professionals. Cherry on top - they have great personalities and were so easy to work with ! Thank you so much Meeta and Anjuli! You are the best!"

"Hiring Meeta and the Planories team was the single best decision I made in the entire wedding planning process. From the moment I spoke with her about a year prior to my wedding, I knew I would be in good hands (also I talked to about a dozen Indian wedding coordinator teams in the NJ area!). We didn't speak again until 2 months prior to my wedding (I had the day-of coordinator package). Meeta and Anjuli were so quick to get the ball rolling and start planning all the intricate details. I consider myself a type A/organized person but I felt myself actually letting go and letting the Planories team do their magic (they are that good!). In the days leading up and on the wedding day, everything was perfection. My husband and I were always taken care of, as well as our families. We felt so supported by Meeta, Anjuli and Cherry. Our guests and family members raved constantly about the Planories team and even other vendors reached out with positive feedback. I could keep going on and on about how great the Planories team was; please do yourself a favor and hire them!"

"Hiring Meeta and the Planories team as our day of wedding coordinators was hands down the BEST decision we could have ever made. From the first conversation with her, my husband and I knew we were in good hands. She and her team were on top of every detail. She pushed us to ensure every little detail was included in the plans and was responsive when we had questions about the process. She and her team were incredibly reassuring that the day would go smoothly and it was so easy to speak to them about our natural concerns and worries. On the day of, we had a major change of plans to move the ceremony indoors and her team moved fast to ensure each vendor was fully informed of every detail. I couldn't have had a better day and I thank Meeta and her team for their dedication and passion for planning and coordinating weddings. Please hire the Planories team. You truly will not regret it."

"Our best decision in the wedding planning process was choosing to work with the Planories team! We worked with Meeta and her team for full event planning for 4 events (haldi, sangeet, wedding and reception) and we cannot say enough good things about them. Meeta worked with us from the early stages of planning when we needed help with our dream wedding vision, all the way to the final day-of coordination along with Anjuli, Shachee, and Vara. Meeta went above and beyond to help us select our vendors by joining our calls and making sure we asked the right questions. She was always on top of important dates/deadlines and handled all the logistics flawlessly. The detailed timelines that she created helped us, our families, and the vendors stay on track and allowed the events to run smoothly! They all made us feel so comfortable and at ease by handling any situations that came their way. The weather took an unexpected turn that weekend and some potential rain forced us to make a last minute decision on moving our events indoors. The team stayed in constant communication with us and once our decision to move indoors was made, they immediately relayed it to all the vendors involved and started working on the transition plan. Our entire family was very impressed with how organized the entire team was and how seamless the wedding weekend was! The Planories team was an absolute dream to work with!"

"We cannot express enough gratitude for the exceptional service provided by Meeta and the Planories team. From the moment me and my fiance (now my wife) met her, she demonstrated creativity, and attention to detail.
Meeta not only listened to our crazy ideas but also offered invaluable suggestions that truly elevated every aspect of our wedding and the pre-wedding events. She handled everything with such grace despite the mishaps and ensured that every detail, no matter how small, was executed flawlessly. We had a packed South Indian wedding ceremony followed by lunch reception on the same day, despite that the Planories team handled it flawlessly.
Our guests, in the U.S. and internationally(as the events were live streamed), are still raving about how stunning every element of the wedding was. Planories team were an absolute dream to work with. With all the pre-planning, it was truly a stress-free, beautiful wedding, thanks to Meeta and her team."

"My wife and I will agree that the single best decision we made for our wedding was hiring Planories to help coordinate our wedding in Morristown, NJ. Our wedding weekend (Sangeet, Indian Wedding Ceremony, and Reception) was truly flawless and even now, six months later, we continue to receive compliments on how organized, timely, and polite the Planories team was all weekend.
After our first call with Meeta, Owner + Lead Planner, we knew she would be a perfect fit. Through the entire process, Meeta was prompt in responding, covered every detail (to a level we didn’t even think about!) and was genuinely interested in helping our vision for the weekend come to life. Her team handled it all - organizing vendors, coordinating with venue and caterer, setup of favors, guiding guests through events, communicating with wedding parties, making sure we were eating, and they even stayed until the end of the event to help gather and organize our items to take home (a rarity in the industry). Above all, Meeta and Planories provided service with a level of genuineness that the industry often seems to lack. For this and everything else, we are forever thankful. We strongly encourage anyone to hire Planories for their wedding — you will not regret it!"

"Meeta and her team were terrific throughout the entire process. Meeta spent a lot of time with me leading up to the wedding, carefully reviewing every detail and keeping everything incredibly organized. She listened to our needs, was very kind and flexible in her approach but also double checked us to make sure we didn't forget or overlook anything which I really appreciated. During the day of the wedding, I literally did not have to think twice or stress about anything because Meeta and her team were on it. The day went by flawlessly and this team made sure I could focus on truly enjoying the day. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone in need of support for their wedding. Thank you Planories!!!"

"Meeta made our wedding a huge success. She was super organized, thought like an engineer, and took a lot of the hard work and stress out of the weeks and days leading up to the wedding. She helped make photo lists, corral large groups of people to get to different places efficiently and on-time, and ensured that both my husband and I were comfortable and relaxed the day of our wedding. She also has a ton of experience working with multiple vendor in the NY/NJ area and already has a great relationship with them. Finally, she helped us find some awesome live musicians as a last minute addition to our cocktail hour. I would definitely recommend her without any hesitation."

"We hired Planories for our full wedding planning in 2022 - there were so many ideas we had, but didn't have the time to look into each of them in depth due to our jobs/other wedding related tasks (i.e. ice luge vendors, food trucks, donut caterers, etc). Meeta took each wild idea we threw at her, and came back to us with fully researched ideas, 3-4 options and cost comparisons, and her experience/recommendations based on the customer service she received with each one. Even as the wedding day got closer (the week of the wedding), she wouldn't turn any of our ideas down, despite how much extra work it would cause her (she had an insane week prepping to coordinate our wedding in a few days). I cannot emphasize enough how helpful she was, not only with the research & time to contact various companies for the smallest of ideas, but once we selected our vendors (big & small), she coordinated with each of them and took care of things I wouldn't have even thought about asking (i.e. ensuring there was a power box for the DJ...thank god she asked, because our venue didn't have this prearranged). Meeta is the type of person to go above and beyond in everything she does, not just fulfill her business obligation. On the day of, her and her team made sure everything was handled on the back end, freeing us up to just enjoy the day. If you're considering Planories - trust me, go for it! Feel free to contact us if you have any questions!!"

​"Planories helped us plan our perfect wedding! Meeta was friendly, open in her communication, and easy to talk to. She was on top of the planning process and made us feel at ease. Her team was calming and super helpful during the day of the wedding. I really wanted an excellent team for our families, especially as we wanted them to enjoy the day without stress. We had some unplanned weather that almost ruined our day, but Meeta and our venue worked together to make sure my vision came to life and that I had to make no sacrifices. A lot goes into wedding planning, and having a day of coordinator is a must for all future brides! Everyone was able to enjoy the wedding day thanks to Meeta and her team!"

​"I decided to hire Planories back in 2019 and support Meeta Gidwani a fellow engineer who was trying to build a side hustle. Little did I know I was about to embark on a wild journey in order to get married. Meeta and I seamlessly collaborated on the details on my wedding and then just one month away we were forced to Postpone due to the pandemic. Meeta stepped up and helped me reach out to all my vendors to get new contracts for my postponement date one year away. She would check in with me throughout that year ensuring me that I was doing a great job staying on top of my to do list. In January of 2021 when I made the choice to postpone again Meeta stepped up again and helped me secure new contracts from all my vendors and continuously advocated for me.
When we finally approached the two months before my wedding date I saw Meeta’s talents come to life. She had clearly gained a lot of valuable experiences from the other weddings she planned and coordinated and I was approaching burnout. Meeta asked me about every minuscule detail I envisioned for the wedding and made sure it happened. She read every word of all my contracts and caught red flags and mistakes. The week of my wedding she was coordinating my vendors and issuing timelines and finally my wedding weekend arrived.
Meeta’s team members Hima and Harsh tended to me and my husbands every needs. They kept us in schedule, well fed and happy. They also were genuinely excited and happy to see us go through a memorable experience. Overall they could not have been any kinder to us while also managing day of conflicts or complications. I am extremely thankful to have crossed paths with Meeta and believe that hiring Planories was the best decision I made for my wedding. They truly provide service that is above and beyond for their clients."

"We hired Meeta + team a month prior to our wedding, after having an uncomfortable experience with another coordinator. Meeta jumped in immediately and was our advocate, immensely detail oriented and went above and beyond to save our day. I was so intentional with every little detail and Meeta and her team did her very best to ensure my vision came to life. She was available to communicate whenever I needed which was huge for me given the levels of anxiety I was experiencing around planning a wedding during a pandemic. What we appreciated the most was her attention to detail, and how she managed all the mishaps with our venue the day of. We didn’t even know there were so many issues until after which is huge because it allowed us to enjoy our day. I can’t say enough about how much I appreciate everything Meeta has done for us and again saving us! Stepping in one month to the date is no small undertaking. We didn’t get to see many photos of our day and they even took BTS for us which were so meaningful! Thank you Planories!"

"BEST WEDDING PLANNERS IN THE REGION!!! No joke I don't know if our wedding day could've gone the way it did if it wasn't for Meeta and her team! Planning and executing a wedding during COVID is not easy at all but Meeta was able to help me make it happen!! I threw a lot of crazy and wacky ideas her way and had a very specific vision and she helped me make everything possible!! I'd HIGHLY recommend going with her team to make your special day flawless!"

"Meeta and the Planories team are hands-down the best in the game! Planning a wedding is a challenging endeavor in and of itself , but planning a wedding during the current Covid-19 crisis is a monumental task - Meeta executed this flawlessly and we can't begin to describe how much this meant to us and our families. She was always there and guided us through every detailed aspect of the wedding process and helped us plan a ceremony that was beautiful and very safe to all those involved! We would strongly recommend Meeta and Planories for all of your events and wedding needs - regardless of location or ceremony type, Meeta and her team will exceed your expectations."

"Meeta was our Day-of-Coordinator for our wedding in October 2019. Neither my husband or I were physically located in New Jersey where we hosted our wedding, and she had a huge hand in making planning from a different state practically seamless- she would go above and beyond to help out with any small obstacles that we would occasionally come across. In the few months leading up to our wedding weekend, she was always on top of everything and made sure we on track with everything that we needed to get done in the weeks leading up. She worked with us to create timelines for us, our vendors, as well as our family/wedding party (which they were all especially thankful for during the weekend). We were in regular contact via WhatsApp and she was always available whenever we had any questions, which was a huge reason why we were able to sit back and enjoy our wedding weekend, knowing that all the details have been taken care of. She would even remember small miscellaneous items that we had previously told her that we were having trouble finding, and would check-in with us about them and go out of her way to help us find them if she could, or find an alternative - she did not have to do things like that, but you could tell that she genuinely cares about her clients and wants to help them!
During the wedding weekend Meeta and her team went above and beyond for us and we are so thankful that we had them by our sides. A couple days before the wedding we had to make a last minute call on what we wanted to do based on the weather forecast (the ceremony was outdoors), and my husband and parents were all busy at the time that the venue needed an answer - I was overwhelmed without them to help decide what we should do, and Meeta was so supportive and talked everything through with me and my MoH to help come to a final decision. Throughout the whole wedding day Meeta and her team were so calm, organized, professional, and made sure we had eaten! Our family and wedding party even commented on how on top of everything they were and how pleasant they were to have around. By the end of the night we were so sad when it was time to say goodbye, as we had such an amazing experience meeting them and working with them!"

"Meeta her team did an AMAZING job on our wedding! I am not exaggerating even a bit when I say that this wedding would not have been possible without Planories.
The days leading up to wedding are usually so stressful but the Planories team was highly organized and professional. They coordinated with all our other vendors such as photographer, videographer, DJ, makeup artists and made a timeline which was very easy to follow. A lot of times I would forget to reach out to the vendors or wouldn't have time but Meeta was always persistent and made sure that things were done. They took away such a big load off of us and we were actually able to enjoy the festivities without any stress!
On the day of the wedding the team coordinated everything extremely effortlessly and perfectly. They were in my hotel room at 6am while I was getting ready and took care of the smallest things like even bringing me a fruit bowl from the Hotel kitchen! I remember Meeta working with us as late as 11:30pm to get the sitting chart finalized after going back and forth a lot with both side of the family! They literally work around the clock to make sure everything is done.
If you are getting married or have a big event coming up, get this team ASAP! You will not regret it. They will make sure your event goes smoothly and will take away all the planning stress. Once again, my wedding would not have been possible without this fabulous team."

"Meeta and her team did a crazy amazing job at keeping my husband and I on time for all our events. Meeta helped us put together a very detailed timeline of our events and took care of distributing this information to the involved parties prior to the wedding day. We had two ceremonies, a cocktail hour, and reception in one day which was making everyone nervous scheduling wise but Meeta and her team made our wedding day fun and relaxing. Everything was taken care of and a team member was with either me or my husband updating us on the status of all the vendors and activities as per our request. So many of my guests kept complimenting my family and I on how organized and well planned the wedding was. People were pretty shocked to see an Indian wedding start exactly on time and continue without any glitches. Could not recommend this team more to any couples in the tri state who are looking for trustworthy and reasonable planners/coordinators. As a bride or groom you end up spending so much of your wedding day with vendors, it’s really important that you hire personable, trustworthy, and fun vendors. Zach and I were pretty upset we wouldn’t get to spend as much time with this team after the wedding."

"Pooja and I had our wedding September of 2019. It took place over three days and had around ~250 guest. We had a hefty number of vendors to coordinate, schedule that needed ongoing revision, and multiple conflicting considerations – Pooja and I were so grateful to have the Planories team have the pieces come together. Meeta did an outstanding job of taking our vision and ideas, guiding us on this huge endeavor and keeping us organized throughout. Meeta emailed us regularly to keep us on top of our action items, drafted individual schedules for our wedding party, coordinated with vendors, and just generally helped us keep our cool. On our wedding day, Pooja and I were able to just enjoy it. If there were any hitches, I wouldn’t be able to tell you as the Planories team was on point and very pleasant. I highly recommend Planories for any event you may be planning in the future."

"Meeta was instrumental in making sure my husband and I had the perfect wedding week! In the months leading up to the wedding, Meeta was friendly, patient, responsive, supportive, and overall a joy to work with. She made herself available at all times to answer our questions and was instrumental in making sure that we were prepared ahead of time for the wedding. She took lead on coordinating with our vendors and making all the schedules and timelines for our vendors, wedding party, and families. During the week of the wedding, she made sure that both my husband and I were comfortable with the schedule of events and would loop us in when needed. We appreciate her dedication to her job and her incredible support in making sure we had the perfect wedding! Thank you Meeta for all your help - we truly couldn’t have done it without you!"

"Words can't describe how happy we are that we went with Planories to orchestrate our special day. Meeta worked with us night and day in the days and weeks leading up to the wedding. She organized all of the timelines for our vendors, bridal party and family members. She put out a bunch of fires for us while managing all of the finer details of our wedding week. She met with me after work to check out mehendi vendors, came with us to some of our vendor meetings, and sat with us for hours reviewing the timeline over and over again to make sure we didn't miss anything. She is organized, dedicated, patient, hardworking, and she always has the right vision. I could easily tell her what I had in mind for something and she would give me her honest opinion, and then help make my ideas come to life. On the day of our wedding, there were so many little things that had to be adjusted with decor, DJ, food prep and parts of the ceremony. Meeta and her team worked seamlessly to make sure everything was executed properly so we wouldn't be stressed on our big day. She is a genuine person who isn't just doing this for the business; she is doing it for the clients. Small gestures like bringing me food while I got my hair and makeup done at 5 am on my wedding day are not required of any wedding planner but Meeta did it because she cares about making sure her bride and groom have their best day. One thing that really hit home is the way Meeta and her team handled the day. Weddings are stressful because of how many people who you have to instruct on what to do and where to be. People don't always listen and tend to resist. Not only did the Planories team make sure everyone was on track, they did it with the utmost respect. They were calm, collected and always had a solution to the little things that went wrong. If you are looking for someone who is genuine, honest and responsible, go with Planories for your wedding or any other event. Meeta and her team will work hard to give you your dream event."

"With less than a month remaining for our marriage from the time we got engaged and having to work 8-5 (PST), coordinating and taking care of wedding arrangements in New jersey (EST) was going to be an impossible task for me and Ashley. This is when we got to know about Meeta our lovely wedding planner. She took full responsibility of the entire event from the word go ( our very first call with her ). She was on top of the minutest of things we were worried about. Some of the things she helped us with were invitation cards, decorations, hotel stays, wedding rings, traditional dress, DJ, food menu, wedding license and co-ordination of events. Communication with her was super fast and easy. She not only helped us get things done on time but also within our budget. I highly recommend you guys to go with Meeta because she has many contacts as well as much information and ideas to perfectly plan your event of a lifetime."

"Hiring Planories/Meeta as our wedding planner has been one of the best decisions we have made in the entire wedding process. We simply cannot get over the fact on how beautiful and organized all of our events were because of her. My husband and I had some crazy ideas for our special day and no idea was too crazy for Meeta. There was never a time when we felt that our ideas were hard to do or would be a challenge to make it happen infact it was just the opposite! She entertained every crazy ideas of ours and made it even special by adding her magic touch to them. She put in a lot of time researching about our likes and materialized every wish of ours. To this day, we hear from our family on how well coordinated our wedding day was. We initially like many couples didn’t think that we needed a wedding planner but boy! Were we wrong!. It was only after she started helping us out with our wedding planning we realized what we were missing out on and how much stress we could have avoided by having her sooner. Our day turned out to be flawless; she was on top of everything from the beginning till the very end. Not once did our family or we feel that something was missing or had to be taken care of. Everything went as we planned or I should say better than we had imagined. She was in touch with our venue manager, our mandap, DJ and photographers on the big day to make sure everything happened on schedule as planned. When the mandap people were setting up our reception backdrop she infact suggested a few things last minute and made it look 10 times better. She even sneaked in food for us right before the reception started so that we were not starving. Usually people never get to eat at their own weddings but Meeta made sure we were fed and full of energy. Her presence of mind and quick thinking was nothing less than a blessing. We cannot thank her enough for all her efforts because we know it wouldn’t have been what it was without her help! THANK YOU SO MUCH MEETA!"
