Min and Shilpa were incredible to work with. They did the decor for my sangeet, wedding and reception, and we were floored by the decorations! Thank you so much for all your help this year!

We were so excited to work with Min & Shilpa, and at the end of the day our wedding events turned out looking beautiful, but they had extremely poor communication with us leading up to our wedding. As the bride, I had virtually no idea what it was going to look like until 2 weeks prior, and they did not respond to many emails in the 6 weeks leading up to our event as I had questions and follow ups to finalize with them. There was also clear miscommunication between our in-person meetings and what they wrote down and included in the final contract. They do good work, however they caused a lot of anxiety and stress leading up to the wedding as we did not hear back from them in a timely manner, and they did not stick to any of the timelines that they provided us.

Min and Shilpa were amazing to work with! They decorated our Garba-Sangeet, Wedding Ceremony, and Reception. At each event, my jaw was on the ground with how stunning everything looked!One of the many things I loved about Min and Shilpa was that they were so adaptable. They are willing to give suggestions to me and my husband when we didn't have much of a vision but were more than happy to listen to our ideas and incorporate them.They were also willing to work with our budget and find solutions that lined up with our budget. If there was something that we liked but was out of budget, Min would show us alternatives that matched what we liked but would be more affordable for us!All in all, we could not recommend Dream Occasions more!

The best of the best for weddings. I've been to over 60 weddings and of them these guys do the best especially when it came down to my cousin's wedding.

Shilpa and Min were absolutely amazing to work with. I couldn't have trusted my vision for my wedding reception with a better team. On my wedding day, I felt I walked into a dream. They truly do an excellent job way beyond what you d expect. With my busy schedule they were so flexible and very easy to work with. Thank you Shilpa and Min!

They did my wedding years ago. As soon as we signed the contract they were impossible to get a hold of. Had to call and email multiple times to get answers to questions. Your wedding is not unique to them, you're just another one on their list. My wedding lighting was specifically what we said we didn't want and when I called that morning to tell them I was told to fix it myself. They billed us for items we didn't use and and failed to tell us we were getting a different version of the Mandap they showed us photos of. That was not a nice surprise as I came down the aisle.

It was so lovely to work with Shilpa and Min for all 3 events for my wedding! They're lovely and this husband/wife dynamic duo created such a dreamy and fairytale setting for my husband and I. I highly recommend them! Thank you SHILPA and MIN!

Dear Min and Shilpa, Thank you so much to you and your amazing team for the phenomenal decor for our wedding weekend, including sangeet/garba, Hindu wedding ceremony and reception!! Everything turned out even more beautiful than I could have ever imagined it!!!! You flawlessly executed my vision and sooo much more, and you were just a pleasure to work with and so professional throughout the entire process (especially challenging planning the wedding from a distance!! Thank you for accommodating weekend meetings and evening phone calls and working with our busy out of state schedules!) We received so many compliments about how beautiful and elegant everything was! I have already received requests from friends/family/brides in the area asking who did our decor, and believe me, glowing recommendations are coming your way!!! We couldn't have asked for a better decor team! Thanks again, Prerna and Vishal Pandya and both Raj and Pandya families!

It was an absolute pleasure to work with Shilpa & Min for our sangeet, wedding and reception. They are the perfect combination of organized, detail-oriented, and creative! They are both incredibly talented and hard-working. We received so many compliments on all of the decor for our events! They went above and beyond all of our expectations. They also will work within your budget and do not compromise quality or your vision to do it. I would definitely use them for any future events and highly recommend them to all of our friends and family!

They have gone down in their quality significantly. It was really upsetting to pay 10K+ for mediocre work. My reception stage looked empty because they did not think to put candles or ANYTHING on there. They forgot to turn one of the big lights on for my ceremony and the room was dark. I think they are getting too big and forgetting to put details into the weddings that cost them less than 10K. Side note, but make sure you ask them to leave your flower bouquets (that you paid for) as I believe they took them during the night of my reception. My guests were asking for them and they were nowhere to be found. I wish I had hired someone else.

Absolutely had to come find Dream Occasions and express how amazing they were for my wedding a few weeks ago. I worked with them to do decorations for my sangeet, wedding ceremony and reception. Everything was stunning. They listened so closely and patiently to fully understand what I envisioned for each event and gave me really helpful suggestions on what would look good and what wouldn't. They were so calm throughout the process and had a solution for any concern I had. They worked tirelessly to make everything flawless and really fulfill all of my wishes. Shilpa and Min are really phenomenal to work with and I couldn't be happier with how gorgeous all of my events turned out. Their work is truly amazing, I wouldn't rather have gone with anyone else. Thank you guys sooo much!! You really made our special moments come to life!!

Working with Dream Occasions was truly enjoyable. Shilpa and Min were both very easy to work with, and they did an incredible job at each of our events! We couldn't have asked for a better team to take our ideas, and make them come to life. Puja, myself, and both of our families genuinely appreciate you guys going above and beyond for our wedding weekend. Thank you so much!
