“Dear Amrit – I just want to thank you again for the excellent job you did coordinating the day of Jayme and Matthew’s wedding and the details leading up to the day. Living in New York, it was almost impossible to know which services and people to choose for flowers, photography, cake, limos, etc. Your recommendations and attention to details were perfect. You made the day turn our perfectly for all of us. Thank you. ”
“Amrit was very honest in her thoughts about what was worth spending money on and what wasn’t. This is so important as Indian weddings in particular can get pricey quickly, and she kept everyone’s heads in perspective about what was really important to us and our guests. Prior to booking her, my husband and I filled out a questionnaire on ourselves and our ideas for our events. Amrit really utilized this information, as well as photos of my outfits and my decor inspiration photos to create spaces that were stunning and unique to my husband and I. My absolute favorite thing about working with Amrit is she really cared about my opinion. Planners I had worked with on previous events usually went with their own ideas rather than asking for my opinion, but Amrit gave several options to me and our families, and welcomed feedback. Her process is iterative and as long as you are honest with her, the result is amazing. I stalked many decorators/Indian wedding sites as my time as an engaged person and I noticed Amrit’s concepts are very unique and her standard is much higher than other event designers. I will be forever grateful to her for designing my dream round mandap (complete with chandelier) for me.During the actual events, Amrit really went above and beyond what I had expected. Her planning timelines are SO accurate. My biggest fear about our wedding was that things would run late (like a typical Indian wedding) but with Amrit’s detailed timeline, everything went exactly according to schedule. My husband and I and our families never once felt rushed. The transition from performances to dinner at our sangeet, and cocktails to speeches to dinner to dancing at our reception was seamless because of Amrit and her crew. The year I got married, I attended 7 other weddings. I noticed many times the bride/groom would be stressed out by things not going as expected but we never once felt that way, because Amrit handled everything with such professionalism. I can truly say I enjoyed every moment of my wedding because of her.”
“Amrit is the most humble,honest, talented, and professional event designer I have ever worked with! She was consistent throughout all of her work and delivered seamlessly. I would recommend Anais Events to anybody looking for a one of a kind event with perfection from the creation of the flowers to the placement of the littlest details. Thank you once again for being a part of my wedding!”
“I loved working with Amrit at Anais Events! I was introduced to her work when attending a friends wedding, and I knew I wanted to hire her as well. I was planning my California wedding while living in Illinois, and from our first long distance planning conversation, she was easy to work with and helpful, even offering up suggestions for locations for wedding halls. Amrit has the unique talent of balancing the creative aspect of design as well as managing the project schedule perfectly, executing flawlessly. I would highly recommend Amrit and Anais Events for your special occasion.”

“Choosing to work with Amrit was hands down the best decision we made for our wedding. Her calm confidence, warmth, and experience made the day so relaxing and enjoyable. I whole heartedly recommend Anais Events for any event, big or small. Amrit will save you money, time, and hassle so you can enjoy your special day. ”
“Working with Anais was a wonderful experience. Not only did Amrit provide the type of organizational skills and incredible attention to detail we were hoping for, but she made some suggestions about things we wouldn’t have necessarily thought about that made our day that much easier and more special. It was a relief to know that among the challenges in planning a wedding, we could count on Amrit and her team to be understanding, reliable, and always professional.”
“Amrit Dhillon-Bains and her team at Anais Events put together the wedding of our dreams. Amrit’s design details were classy, elegant, and perfectly suited to the colorful Indian fusion wedding we were looking for. She adapted to our venue in Napa, she incorporated our preferences, and she thought of absolutely every detail possible to make the design and appearance beyond any of our expectations. When I flip back through pictures I am still blown away. We cannot thank Amrit and Anais Events enough for giving us a lifetime of memories from our wedding weekend. For anyone looking to plan a wedding in Northern California, you’ll truly be lucky to work with Amrit and her team. As an example of Amrit’s talents- in the month of our wedding, Amrit also planned a gala for Prime Minister Modi visiting from India and her brother’s wedding at her family’s home. Despite that very full workload, Amrit worked nonstop to prepare for our wedding and left no effort spared. Thank you, thank you, thank you!”
“This is a long overdue review, but as we gear up to finally take our honeymoon in Anguilla, I thought I should acknowledge the hard work and dedication of Anais Events and Amrit in making our wedding so memorable. When planning our wedding, I was searching for someone who can translate my thoughts and images into a realistic endeavor. Initially talking to Amrit, the easiest way to describe my perception of her was that ‘she got it’. One of the most important attributes of having a traditional wedding abroad is to be able to capture the best of both worlds, understanding the logistics, the different work ethics and all the nitty gritty details. Amrit handles this with ease. We used a lot of novice vendors and Amrit guided them through the whole process. She is very upfront about the ramifications of different options, providing guidance throughout the overwhelming task at hand. The organizational and planning aspects of Anais Events are evident from having a hassle free, stress free extraordinary wedding. Too much cannot be said about the design aspect of working with Anais Events. The whole affair came across as classy, unique and glamorous as so much effort was put into every detail. Because of certain limitations, we had to have an indoor wedding and have a room flip from the ceremony to the reception, despite my hesitation. Firstly, with the floral arrangements, Amrit brought the feel of being outdoors. Secondly, the most common comment I from guests at the wedding was that they didn’t feel like they were in the same room for the reception. Amrit completely transformed it and in such a short time. Walking into the ceremony and walking into the reception were both jaw-dropping experiences. I highly recommend working with Amrit and Anais Events if you would like the perfect wedding without the sleepless nights of making it happen.”
“Amrit is extremely detailed oriented, professional, and has strong execution skills — the ideal combination for an event designer and planner. My wedding had a few different events spanning multiple days, and Amrit and her team were able to ensure they went seamlessly. Aside from being very good at what she does, she is also a wonderful person to have alongside you while planning a wedding. She often went above and beyond her scope of work and was a sounding board for me in general. She was able to take ownership of the various moving parts of the wheel and execute them with utmost quality, style, grace, and charm. Many thanks, Amrit!”
“From the big, obvious things, to the tiniest, easy-to-forget things, Amrit leaves no rock unturned. The level of detailed quality she puts into EVERYTHING she does for you, is simply amazing. For those “picky” soon-to-be brides and/or for those people who just know what they want, you can rely on Amrit’s professionalism to get things done on time, the RIGHT way. Her natural ability and her fresh ideas will make your event even more stunning! ”
“Anais Events provided me with the one thing I wanted most, but didn’t know that I could buy…peace of mind. Amrit’s knowledge of the ‘process’ and calm manner before the wedding were extremely helpful. I never felt pushed into a decision and felt great support especially on the day of the events when it just felt great to have her there, taking care of things.”
“Amrit is an amazing Event Planner, Designer and Coordinator. A thorough professional and an absolute pleasure to work with. We hired Amrit as our Day of Coordinator and Event Designer and I can say all the credit goes to her for our absolutely gorgeous and smooth wedding. All the details were well taken care of and the guests couldn’t stop praising the decor. Moreover, even with crazy Indian guests, the events started and ended on time - all thanks to Amrit.What I love about her is that she is not only very open to ideas as well as constraints but also very honest in letting you know if she thinks anything will compromise the quality of the experience or design. You can trust her blindly and know that whatever she does will be up to the highest standards. She just won’t deliver or do anything that isn’t high quality.Thank you, Amrit - our wedding couldn’t have been so perfect without you.”
“Amrit is amazing!!! I hired her as my full time wedding planner and she also did the décor for my wedding ceremony & reception. I got married in April 2014 and had a destination wedding (which was pretty overwhelming!) but Amrit always made me relaxed and secure that all would go well. She is so talented, creative, patient, and intelligent and I am so thankful that I found her! The two comments I always get about my wedding are how beautiful the décor was and how the events were so on-time. These are all due to Amrit’s talents! I highly recommend Amrit and her entire team to anyone who is looking for a very professional and hard-working event company that delivers impeccably. Your event will look like something out of a magazine!Amrit, I look forward to always having you in my life and feel I have gained a wonderful friend! I hope to do many more events with you in the future! Thanks again for everything that you did for me, I can’t thank you enough!”
“I have been married for over 6 months and I still cannot get over all of our wedding details and how smoothly everything went! Planning a reception in the Bay Area all the way from Seattle sounded like the impossible for someone like me who is so detail oriented. I wanted something different/unique and didn’t know how to make it happen, while busy planning a wedding in Seattle. Hiring Amrit & her team was one of the best decisions we made. Once Amrit had an idea of what I wanted and color schemes were selected, she didn’t leave much for me to do! I remember being shocked at how relaxed I was the week of/day of the reception. Normally, I would want to know everything is being done correctly & the way I would like, but I felt no need! I knew I was in good hands and had nothing to worry about. Walking into our beautiful reception proved me right and I’ve been singing Amrit’s praises to everyone!”
“Amrit is very creative and detail oriented with her work. She brings “out of the box” ideas to make events memorable. She is also very well informed about the latest trends in design and decor!”
