Co-​owner Shaloo’s decoration work for marriage was as per agreement, Nothing extra or special. However, throughout the decoration process and various emails and during payment time, the owner Shaloo kept cribbing that she has charged less than normal price for the work done and kept claiming that she has been doing big favor to us by giving low price.
She expected us to be indebted to her for all of our life, even though what she charged was not cheap. We paid around $ 6,000, and we had several other good vendor options. She was desperate for business and perhaps that’s why she felt she is giving discount. We feel she just had normal pricing.
She also doesn’t give any proper invoice for payments made. So not sure how she is reporting the income to govt. When asked for an invoice, she just wrote a memo in notepad and gave to us. So, caution that you may not have legal proof for work performed, and in case of business use, cannot show it as business expense.

Just for the stage Shaloo told me just for a plain stage she would charge 3500 with out flowers. She said that was the best package that she could offer. I ended up going with partyland décor which did my whole wedding for 1500.00 with flowers and a crystal stage.
I did on the other hand get the DJ from them not only did a different DJ showed up and had no idea what music to play. WIll never use them again for anything

I gave them two stars because they had a decent selection of bhangra that kept the reception fun.
However, we had provided them with at least 40 non-​Indian songs to choose from to play during the cocktail hour but they decided to play about 5 of them twice and then refused to play the rest. Instead, they played the crappiest, cheesiest music that they had. I was embarrassed that my guests would think that we selected that music to play at our own wedding!
It’s sad that when I think about my wedding reception, one of the memories that comes to mind is the terrible songs that they played that were not on our list. Why ask us to spend time putting a list together if you’re not going to play what is on it?!? Very annoying!

After an insane amt of mistrust, last emails and conversations we finally got them to send us a look of our finished reception album which they printed before final proofing it with us. I feel so bad giving them this review since they did such a great job with everything else.
I am so frustrated, all I want is the album now. I would like to state though that if this drama with the album didnt happen, they would have 5 stars for the work they did!
