Elegant Affairs

Elegant Affairs is one of the most popular names in Indian wedding decor. While they do decorations for all wedding events (ceremony, reception, sangeet, garba/raas), they are perhaps best known for their mandaps.

Their website shows a few samples of their work, though it has not been updated in quite some time, as well as a list of famous venues they have decorated.  Wedding WallahWedding Wallah called to make an appointment, we could not get in until a month out. decided to visit Elegant Affairs through multiple referrals.   Bride-to-bes should know that this vendor has a very large operation and when

Wedding Wallah met with Sharda Shenoy, one of the co-founders of Elegant.  We looked through several albums of recent weddings, walked around the showroom, pointed out what we liked, and were quickly sat down to draft a proposal.  We were told that we could have the following fabrics, in particular structures, and they would cost their respective amounts.  There was little room to change pre-set options.  Each additional items (adding two more aisle decor structures, petals, etc.) had a extra hefty price.  There was very little room for negotiation.

Brides who want the one of the most experienced mandap vendor and want to customize their mandaps as little as possible - Elegant Affairs is for you.  If you want to be a little bit more creative and different, then you might find it hard to work with them.

Wedding Wallah gives this vendor 3 stars - five stars for experience and a smooth running operation, but minus two stars for lack of flexibility.

How was your experience with Elegant Affairs?
