My husband and I, along with our families, honestly can’t thank Cheryl enough for everything she did to make our wedding week a success! She took everything we dreamed of straight out of our minds and nailed it better than we could imagine. Her meticulous attention to detail and dedication to ensuring our happiness were evident throughout the entire process. From curating the perfect vendors to handling every last detail, she made sure everything ran smoothly and stress-free.

Cheryl, Rohit, Simran and their team went above and beyond to keep us relaxed throughout the events. Cheryl even stepped in to help with last-minute outfit adjustments and ensuring we had a plate of food and drink in hand to enjoy during each of the festivities.

Their whole team was accommodating as well with our catering staff, who had never done an event of this caliber, walking them through the expectations and planning down to the minute. The organization of the food was a huge hit and people were shocked to hear it was their first time because of how smoothly Cheryl and Rohit handled the program.
Cheryl was super quick to respond to last minute changes and freak outs, as brides often have, with such care. The morning of my mehndi she was able to attend to a freak out of mine and get in touch with vendors for confirmations early in the morning without hesitation.

Throughout our regularly scheduled meetings, she also had some amazing ideas in all areas, from decor down to the snacks and drinks we chose, which enhanced our jungle-themed Sangeet and Italian-themed Haldi. Thanks to her quick thinking, she added a backdrop to our Haldi set up the month of the wedding that totally sold the vibe and made for some incredible photos.

Our wedding guests were equally impressed by her professionalism and organization. Every vendor Cheryl recommended was exceptional, and we're so grateful for her guidance in finding the perfect team to celebrate with us. She was so good that we are now the consultants for our friends’ upcoming weddings using tips she gave us. We're eternally grateful for Cheryl and her team's hard work and dedication!!

I couldn’t have imagined a more beautiful and stress-free wedding experience. Thank you for ensuring everything ran smoothly and helping put together the wedding of our dreams. We enjoyed working with you every step of the way. Highly recommend Glitzzy Events for all your wedding planning needs!

No review would ever fully describe how amazing Cheryl and the Glitzzy Events team were to work with. Cheryl came to be a close friend, confidante and partner throughout the several months of wedding planning. Her expertise and experience was evident from the moment we met her and it gave us a sense of calm that she carried throughout the entire process. We knew we’d be in good hands almost immediately.

Cheryl’s reputation certainly precedes her. We were met with immediate positive reactions when we mentioned that we would likely be working with Glitzzy Events to potential wedding venues during our initial search. Many of the venues and vendors in the area know her well and it immediately put them at ease when we mentioned this.

“Oh Cheryl? Perfect, we have nothing to worry about.” - Wedding Venue Owner

Cheryl was extremely adept at understanding the vision we wanted for our wedding and knew exactly how to navigate the different, often challenging, dynamics from our parents, the wedding venues and other vendors. A critical quality you must find in a wedding planner is one that will advocate for what you want for your wedding while figuring out how to make everyone happy with the outcome. Another critical quality is that they must be accessible. Cheryl was extremely responsive throughout our entire engagement, even when both of us were traveling abroad. She set up weekly meetings (that we now miss so much) to stay on top of everything and always came prepared and gently encouraged us to make decisions.

Our first meeting with Cheryl occurred when she was traveling in Mumbai. She was kind to prioritize and make herself available across timezones to meet with us. When we mentioned our wedding dream of having a 4-day event with different locations for each day, she was probably the only person that said “Let’s do it!”. That’s when we knew we needed Cheryl to plan our wedding. She understood what it would take and we left the conversation ready to move forward.

During the wedding week, the execution by the Glitzzy Team was absolutely seamless. Cheryl, Rohit, Melissa and Simran were ready to take on each day and ensure there were no issues. We did not have to worry about anything other than showing up and enjoying our wedding. Cheryl and team took care of everything, and we know there was so much work behind the scenes that they managed. From coordinating shuttles for our guests, to ensuring venues were set up correctly, to addressing last minute requests from family, the team was extremely professional and made things happen.

We are forever grateful for Cheryl and the Glitzzy Event team. We would not have had our dream wedding without them. Thank you Cheryl, Rohit, Melissa and Simran!!

Cheryl was our planner for our April 2024, 350 person, Gujarati wedding, and as my father said many times throughout the planning process, “Hiring Cheryl was the best decision we made!” Cheryl has a deep understanding of how a traditional Gujarati wedding should run, so our wedding felt like it went off without a hitch! She has great vendor recommendations and has a good understanding of the Central Texas wedding landscape. We loved everyone she connected us with. She was mindful of our budget and never pushed us to spend more than we were comfortable with. We don’t live in Texas, so she was our boots on the ground and always made herself available to us when we would visit Texas for planning. The best thing about Cheryl and her husband Rohit is that they ultimately felt like family to us. We and our parents felt that Cheryl and Rohit actually cared about us and we weren’t just another “client”. Our moms trusted Cheryl and listened to her, which was huge for us when trying to negotiate location, guest list size, vendors etc with our parents. Cheryl was the best teammate and friend while planning our wedding and we were very thankful to have her!

Words can't express how grateful my husband and I are for all that Glitzzy Events did to plan our March 2023 wedding in Austin! Cheryl and Rohit go above and beyond for their clients. As well as planning the time line and executing the events, they connected us with vendors we never would have found on our own and also created beautiful decor for our various events. Cheryl was great at making sure both my husband and I as well as our parents were happy with the wedding weekend. Our guests kept commenting that my husband and I were unusually calm for a bride and groom, and I attribute this to the peace of mind we had knowing that Glitzzy Events had everything under control!

Working with Cheryl and her team to plan our Indian wedding weekend was the single best decision we made during the planning process! Glitzzy Events came highly recommended when we were researching wedding planners for an Indian/fusion wedding in Austin and it's clear why: Cheryl is extremely experienced and knowledgeable on all things wedding related in Austin, the relationships she has made with local vendors is invaluable, and she has successfully navigated this industry pre- and post-pandemic. She is a pillar of support, gave us realistic expectations throughout the process, is so creative (the bangle cart she made was perfect) and very fun to work with - she truly was our wedding fairy godmother!

The planning process was pretty organized, we met for regular zoom meetings, Cheryl had an overall timeline on when to complete certain tasks (when to book venues/vendors, send the save the dates out etc.) and helped us with vendor contracts. She and her husband, Rohit, came with us to visit venues, answered all of our questions and put us at ease.

The Glitzzy Events team was incredible during the wedding weekend itself. They took care of all logistics so we could enjoy the events, spend time with our family/friends and actually EAT during the reception (which is unheard of!). They navigated a huge curveball that the weather brought us like pros (because they are pros) -- the wedding and reception went very smoothly despite the unexpected cold front with rain. We are truly grateful that they handled everything so that we, and our family, could enjoy all of our events without being stressed out!

Cheryl was the wedding planner for daughter’s wedding in March 2024. She was a pleasure to work with and keeps her cool in any and every situation. Without her guidance in every step of the way it would been impossible. Rohit was a pleasure to work with as well. Thank you Cheryl and Rohit for all your help! You worked tirelessly with us for One whole year! Awesome team with an amazing attitude.

When we originally planned to use Glitzzy Events for our wedding planning, our wedding was scheduled for November of 2020. The pandemic had yet to hit, and all seemed smooth. Well, of course, fast forward about six months, and we are working on a reschedule with multiple vendors with no safe date in sight.

Throughout all of this, Cheryl was patient, motivated, and, above all else, empathetic. She handled the entire situation with a grace that I couldn’t have even imagined. When you pick a planner for your event, I’m sure you are looking for someone who doesn’t panic at the sight of a problem, and instead, is always looking for solutions. Well, I can tell you that the planning of this wedding these last couple of years threw every problem her way, and she was constantly calm and working out contingencies. I truly never saw her fazed, and there is no one better, calmer, better at their job, or kinder that you would want planning your event.

Another thing Cheryl excels at is relationships and managing opinions. Every single wedding is bound to have many opinions tossed about, and that can be quite difficult to sort through! In some ways, it is the trickiest part of putting on an event like this - trying to make sure everyone involved is happy with the end result. Well, Cheryl is a master at taking everyone’s opinions into account and coming up with something that works for everyone. She did this several times during our wedding planning process, and she was a complete lifesaver that way. In the end, the event she planned had something for everyone involved, even including little surprises that showed just how carefully she had been listening and really understanding.

That is Cheryl’s true strength - taking the visions and ideas of two partners and their families and really taking the time, energy, and what I can only guess is a natural gift to bring those dreams to reality. When I saw the end result, I was nearly brought to tears not just because it was beautiful and meaningful, but because it was exactly what I had imagined and more, and because it was a result of so much creativity and love from someone who is so good at what they do.

If you are feeling overwhelmed with planning your event and you have no idea where to start, if you are sorting through planners and can’t make up your mind, if you are struggling in any way with your event, please read this review and know that Glitzzy Events saved the day for my family and myself during a really difficult time with the pandemic, and they can do the same for you! There is no better decision we could have made!

For some specific information, Cheryl planned a fusion wedding for us with Sangeet, Chinese ceremony, Indian ceremony (a task which included conducting a baraat on 6th street, I’m sure no easy feat, though she made it look easy), and a western style reception, so truly there is nothing she cannot do!

Cheryl, her husband, and her team will always have a place in our heart, having worked on both my sister and my wedding, and we only hope to have more events in the future just to work with her again!
