Hasan is the main decorator at my wedding. I would say he is a magician. He knows what he is doing and he is good with color combinations. He has a vision for all of his work. He is the best. My canopy, garlands and bouquet was breathtaking too.

My daughter got married in Oct 2016. The venue we decided upon was Hyatt Regency in Huntington Beach. The rule of Hyatt was that we had to go with their approved wedding co-ordinator. We chose Amana. The best decision ever. I was really stressed out with the initial process of the wedding. But Amana put me so much at ease. She worked with me and suggested Sadia for the decor, who was another great choice. They both respected our budgets for the wedding. They guided us in every which way. And the wedding went off very smooth with absolutely no hitches at all. I really recommend this team to anyone. The best thing about Amana she always had a smile for everyone, even at the most stressful moments. Thanks Kismet!!

Sadia and her team are amazing! I was extremely stressed out about my wedding planning and especially decor because I had very little time to research new innovative ideas or color themes. In the first conversation with Sadia I said I wanted something simple and fun and had imagined a midnight themed reception. The rest is history. Sadia and her team picked out everything for me and kept it within my budget! It was a dream wedding for us! And to this day we still get compliments about our midnight/starry night reception to our plexiglass mandap! Would highly recommend Kismet Events! They really worked with us and made it a beautiful weekend!

Wonderful creative team! We used Kismet for our wedding ceremony and reception decor and they really delivered. Our wedding was in February 2019 and because we were working with a smaller budget, weren't sure whether a full design service would be possible. We reached out to Kismet a couple of months before our event and had a few phone calls and then an in-person consultation to discuss our ideas. Saadia helped us brainstorm and refine our decor ideas to create the ambiance we were hoping for and Hasan brought it to life on the day of our event. Our events were in a site-only venue so there was more coordination involved but they are truly professionals and able to work with any venue or budget. We received so many compliments from our family and friends and couldn't be happier with how our wedding turned out!

From the moment I got engaged I knew I had to have Kismet do my wedding decor. I've been following their work for years and they always deliver the most creative beautiful work.

I showed Hasan a picture of a store window display I liked and he made that come to life in my wedding decor. It was unlike any wedding stage I've ever seen. It was beautiful and executed perfectly... it looked like something that belongs in a museum!

Communication was great from the start and Hasan made many adjustments to make sure we were within budget. Thank you for making my dream wedding stage!

Kistmet Events is a great team!!! Classy and elegant, two words that I describe them. My sister and I coordinated our brother's reception and Aatika and her team were amazing! We were on a time crunch and they still made our vision possible. They worked around our schedule and were very timely on everything. From the conference calls to the execution they were extremely helpful and always kept you in the loop.

Initially we weren't too familiar or knew the direction we were going towards and had a small budget,. They were able to set up a sample size meeting where we were able to work out all the details and stay somewhat close to budget. I would highly recommend this team! And brides if you have no ideas or don't know where to start...do not hesitate! Aatika and her team have amazing ideas and are very creative! The flower arrangements are just breathtaking.

Thank you again for making our brother's reception look gorgeous!

I couldn't have asked for more! Saadia and her team did such an amazing job bringing my dream wedding to life. From the decor to making sure everyone stayed calm, the process was seamless. People still come up to me years later and tell me how it was one of the most beautiful weddings they've attended, and it's all thanks to Saadia!

I would hire Kismet to do all my future events!

Saadia Kibriya is an artist and creative genius. She can make anything happen, is attentive, thoughtful, and listens to what you want. She has done many events come me including one of my wedding receptions (Valima), my bridal shower, my child's first birthday, and even an awesome 90's themed prom birthday for me and my husband! Each one has turned out better than I could have ever imagined and true to what my aesthetic was. She definitely makes dreams come true. Thank you Saadia for introducing some magic into my life!

Kismet did the decoration for all our wedding events, and they really knocked it out of the park. They worked with us to keep things within our budget, and made the day look utterly magical. Totally recommend them for your major event.

I ve been working with Kismet for nearly a decade and they are by far the best event producer I ve worked with to date. And I have worked with many. Their design work and productions are breathtaking. It has been an absolute pleasure working with Hasan and Sadia, both very talented and great people. I look forward to future projects with this very impressive organization. They are amazing!!!

We got married on May 19th in Redondo Beach. For our wedding, we had an Indian ceremony followed by a Western ceremony. So we needed a mandap and the typical mandap furniture, but then it would need to be repurposed to a wedding arch for the second ceremony. Hasan and his team made this happen in a fantastic manner, and their pricing seemed totally reasonable too. We met with Hasan at their office in Brea for an initial design meeting, and through this plus over email we came up with a plan for the mandap to be reconfigured to a Western-style arch in between ceremonies. The fabric they used for the decor was beautiful and I still vividly remember driving up to the venue and getting emotional at seeing the mandap being set up. Now that some of our wedding photos are ready, we can see all over again how perfect the fabric colors were for our ceremonies. We had red and gold for the Indian ceremony, and blue and purple for our Western ceremony to go with our blue orchid theme. Everything looked beautiful in the ocean breeze. If you know anyone who needs a mandap, we highly recommend Kismet!!

I've worked with (and enjoyed the work of) Kismet Event Design in so many capacities. Their creativity is always next level, and their customer service is unparalleled. I know a Kismet event when I see one, because it always stands out.

Amazing! I trusted Kismet with my wedding and I could not have been happier with my decision. One piece of advice- Trust the designer. She definitely has the ability to put together your entire wedding in her head in ways you could never imagine! Overall, Great customer service, great communication, always available and kind if any changes occur and the outcome of your event will be one all your guests will remember!

I'm not a creative person, so I fully trust Kismet when it comes to bringing my vision to reality. I've worked with them for 7+ years as they helped our nonprofit with our annual gala's staging, drapes, and decor. Most recently, they provided the flowers and customized backdrop for my wedding reception. I worked with Amana and I trusted her with every detail! I showed her pictures and she brought it to life.

As a person who never had a "dream" wedding in mind and an eye for decor I could not have asked for a better event planner for my big day. I met with Saadia from Kismet for the first time 5 months before my wedding. Saadia has a true talent for decor and Amana is an amazing event planner. My wedding was more than I could have ever dreamed of and I highly recommend Kismet for your event planning and decor needs.

Kismet Event Planning and Design was an AMAZING group to work with and they are what made our fairy tale wedding come to life <3 They brought in their expertise and created the most gorgeous outdoor mandap for our indian wedding as well as created a twinkling little wonderland for our reception! It was even better than I had hoped and I appreciate all they have done for us. They outdid every other quote we got and were extremely reasonable on the prices. They helped us stay within our wedding budget and worked with what we gave them. They also helped us find ways to minimize costs as well as came for a walk through at the wedding venue and came up with extra tips for the DJ and other vendors. They worked well with everyone and we were so happy to have the most beautiful wedding by choosing them

I work for a nonprofit organization in Glendale. In January, we had our annual gala fundraiser at The Globe Theatre. Five weeks prior to the event, our centerpieces for our 40 tables fell through. I called Kismet and within days not only did they solve my problem, they took care of other decor needs that just made this event shine. Because it was a fundraiser, our interest was in not spending a lot of money. Kisment worked within my budget and gave us an absolutely amazingly expensive look. I'm so grateful and wish I had just called them to begin with. Our guests were amazed by the experience. I was amazed by the quality and professionalism! Highly recommend.

Kismet did an amazing job with the Decorations and flowers for our wedding. I ll admit that I wasn t the type of bride who had a Pinterest board ready of what I wanted my wedding to look like. But Kismet walked me through everything and helped me decide on what would look the best. And we received so many compliments on the decor and flowers during our wedding - it was simply elegant and better than I could have dreamed of. Thank you Kismet for making our wedding day so memorable.

Working with Kismet right from the onset of My son's first Grand Royal Bash 1st Birthday - was totally "kismet". I could not have found a more reliable and visionary partner in making my dream vision, of living out all of my fantasies of what a 1st grand royal bash birthday should be, for my little prince Rajveer who just turned 1, come true. Kismet was very meticulous with all the details, and got me and my vision from Day 1! Hasan was such a pleasure to work with, and I was truly excited everytime I got to speak with him about the details of my son's birthday. There is so much attention to detail with this team, from fabrics to accessories, to the entire design scaping, the experience of planning this grand day was beyond phenomenal. Our guests complimented the beautiful setup, and attention to detail for the grand royal garden bash to the Nth degree and I cant wait to work with the Kismet team again!

Saadia and her team worked on 3 of my Indian wedding events (in Fresno and Sacramento) and also did decor for our house for the wedding week. I cannot even begin to explain how amazing everything was! When I began my search for a wedding decorator Saadia's work stood out to me as being unique and different for all events she does. No two events of hers will look the same and I love that. From the very beginning Saadia and her team were very nice and responsive. I left mostly everything up to Saadia because I trusted her vision and every event blew me away! We encountered unexpected rain during my wedding week and Saadia and her team managed to work with it last minute and adjust her design to work within a tent. They truly went above and beyond! One of the things that every person who attended my wedding has said is that the decor was phenomenal and nothing they had ever seen before. Saadia is an amazing artist who can visualize the beauty and potential in any space you give her. Saadia, Alejandra and the whole Kismet team are incredible and I can't recommend them enough!

We had a very poor experience with Saadia and her company, Hello Kismet. Out of the multitude of vendors we worked with, Saadia was by far the worst. We had a rather large wedding of 800 people. We entered into a contract with Saadia to do the decor at the reception and other wedding related events. Once the contract was signed, Saadia was difficult to reach, showed us recycled ideas, wouldn't respond in a timely manner to us or our wedding coordinator, and most importantly, didn't show us sketches in a timely manner. At the proverbial last minute, particularly for a large wedding like ours, we had no choice but to find a different decor company. One would think with Saadia's inability to perform according to the terms and conditions of the contract, that she would issue a full refund for our deposit. That, of course, didn't happen. Personally speaking, the amount of stress Saadia caused was significant. In short, we would not recommend working with them for your big day. There's too much risk, not enough reward, particularly in Southern LA where there are a bevy of honest, hard working decor companies that aren't, in my opinion, a front of nothing more than a money grappling facade.

Kismet Events truly gave me the wedding of my dreams. Saadia is a true visionary/artist. From the first meeting with myself and my parents, she just knew exactly what we wanted. We had 3 events (Sangeet, wedding, and reception) and Saadia and Aatika did an amazing job. They are so creative and Saadia came back so soon after having a baby to make everything so beautiful.
