Sonal and her team are fantastic! They made wedding planning stress-free and exciting. They listened to everything we wanted for our dream wedding and incorporated it and more. Our wedding day was an absolute dream. We cannot thank Sonal and her team enough for making our day so special.
It is always easy to capture amazing photos while the SJS Events team is there! The joy and happiness they bring to their clients is truly amazing! Providing attention to every detail is shown when working with this team. We love the detailed timelines, organized family photo lists, and of course making sure we have enough time with our couples. Thanks SJS Events!

Fantastic wedding planner and director. Luxury high end weddings is what Sonal specializes in. Always a great experience working with her.
Sonal is amazing - takes care of her clients from start to finish, she is very personal and detailed. Truly cares about the quality of her couple's experience and is highly detailed. Schedule your consultation with her today - you won't be disappointed!
Amazing attention to detail! Makes sure your event goes off without a hitch. Makes sure you feel like everything is safe in their hands!
Sonal and the whole SJS are a dream to work with!
We have worked with them multiple times, and each event has been a big success.
Sonal truly know how to navigate all types of events, and all vendors enjoy working with her and her team.
"Perfectly executed," "wedding of the century," and "it was flawless" were just few of the phrases used over and over again by our guests, and we owe a lot of this feedback to Sonal and her team. We held a jam-packed destination wedding weekend in the Caribbean for 250 guests from around the world, and Sonal's team went above and beyond to make our ambitious vision come to life. Each of our guests were well taken care of from the time they received the invitation, to landing on the island, to boarding their flights home. Most importantly, Sonal and her team were "on it" the day-of, handling any of my last minute requests and concerns seamlessly, so as I bride, I could enjoy the weekend, without worry of any of the logistics. Sonal's team is extremely organized, efficient, responsive, detail oriented, positive, comforting, great at negotiating on your behalf, and simply a delight to work with. She's the best of the best.
Every one requires that first "big break" to enter the industry of their hopes and dreams. A job that will allow them to go places.
Experience.
Sonal J. Shah gave me my first job in the wedding planning industry that allowed me to further my career in ways I never could have predicted. Also, she changed me as a person.
I am a Midwest girl that has only ever attended Christian weddings consisting of one day celebrations. I arrived to NYC ready to witness spectacular weddings! Sonal surpassed my dreaming. The third day on the job my new boss asked for my drivers license number: I'd be flying to Miami for our first wedding that upcoming weekend. She hardly knew me and she was trusting me to work the event by her side for four days. I witnessed a three day wedding celebration accommodating 350 guests with brunches and dinners that honored the bride and groom while hosting friends and family across the globe. From top to bottom, every event was absolute perfection and if anything happened to go wrong Sonal instantly found a solution. Most of the time, only her employees were aware of the change that concealed an issue that would have easily upset the bride. That's Sonal. She's like a fairy Godmother in the flesh, wielding an iPhone and a brain constantly working to accommodate her client's every wish.
During that internship, I've never worked so hard nor have I ever witnessed anyone work as hard as Sonal did. I'd arrive to work to e-mails sent at two in the morning. Regularly. Once, I asked her if she ever slept. She said, of course but if something needed to be done she would get it done, regardless of the time of day. The couples and their families mattered to Sonal. And I have no doubt each of them hold a special place, in her heart, today. A relationship and bond that was established by her creating a stress-free memory they can look back on for the rest of their lives.
A year following my internship, I was hired at a five star resort in Georgia. As I leafed through my "look book" of Sonal J. Shah weddings, the head of the department interviewing me began texting on his phone. Later, I found out he'd been messaging my future boss to let her know he'd found their next wedding coordinator. All because Sonal gave me that first big break into the industry.
Thank you Sonal. Keep blessing your couples with the devotion I witnessed firsthand.

One of the most amazing wedding planners I have ever had the pleasure of working with! Totally on point, on time, can handle any challenge or will always figure it out. It's all about "we can do this"
attitude focused on how to get the job done in style, sophistication. Her work is fllawless . Her mind is always at work. Very customer service oriented and focused on the client's needs. She can create magic.
I have had a great experience working with Sonal and her team because of all the value they bring being so experienced and detailed! Her and her team are on top of every situation so that you as a client do not have to worry. She is able to bring up details that you might not have thought of. She solves problems before they even show up. Her connection in this industry is priceless. That make it that much easy to tell her what you need and you can be rested...because it will be done. These are just few things I have mentioned that I had the best experience with. I highly recommend SJS EVENTS. They have what it takes to take your event to the next level!
Sonal, Ginny, and her team have been amazing! It was the best decision I made right after we got engaged. From our first conversation to the 9th version of our timeline, Sonal and her team have been extremely apprised of every detail. Their experience in this business is clear as they have guided us in the right direction every step of the way. They have saved us money and done all the hard work in terms of contacting our vendors, negotiating contracts, organizing site visits, booking vendor rooms, suggesting things to make our wedding spectacular, guiding us in our shopping in India, sending weekly notes on what they are working on and what we should be working on, promptly responding to all requests, etc. Its no surprise that they are the best in the business and I know they are the one vendor who is going to make our wedding once in a lifetime. If youre looking for a planner that is going to care about your wedding as much as you do, there is only one choice! I definitely do not agree with the person who said SJS is not high end when glamour and exquisite is their expertise (without having you break the bank!)
Our relationship with Sonal J Shah and her team, stems from the last 10 plus years. We have worked together side by side on countless high end and glamorous weddings delivering perfection to clients that range from doctors & celebrities to CEO of companies! Sonal is very demanding with all her vendors, she expects nothing less then the very best, her eye for details & vast experience is unmatched, making her the most sought after wedding planner in the world!!! In fact my wife and I requested her to plan our wedding in 2013, and as expected everything was executed with perfection!! She is also planning my cousins wedding in Mexico 2019, without any hesitation I would recommended Sonal and her team to clients that are looking for a great planning experience and a wedding that is truly unique & memorable!
What an amazing Event Consultant! It is always a pleasure working side by side in events. Very professional, easy to work with, and ten steps ahead of every situation. We love conquering the event industry together. It's rare to find such great, focused, innovative, organized, detail oriented minds and we are grateful to have found that with SJS Events! Thank you for all the great collaborations and the many more to come!
Sonal and team made planning our wedding planning process so easy!! I thought that I was a type A planner until I met Sonal ;) From assisting us with vendor selection, to countless meetings and phone calls, to a 25 page minute by minute timeline, everything was meticulous. Our wedding was literally a dream beyond what we ever could have imagined and we cannot thank Sonal and everyone at SJS for making it possible. Your attention to detail, demand for perfection, and 24/7 availability made what can be a difficult process totally stress free. Everyone is still talking about magical our wedding was and we wish that we could do it all over again !! Lots of love - Raji & Nayan Behal
THANK GOD FOR SJS! We were having a 3-day destination wedding in Aruba and had no idea how much work it would be. We knew we wanted a wedding planner to help us coordinate everything from contract negotiations with vendors to flower arrangements for our wedding reception and are so glad that we went with SJS. The whole team really delivered and helped make our wedding weekend incredible. Sonal and Ginny were always available whenever we had any questions and were there to offer their expertise when we needed advice. They helped plan out every detail of our wedding weekend before arriving in Aruba so when we actually arrived, everything went flawlessly and we were stress-free. Of course, every bride & groom is stressed the weekend of their wedding, but we were actually able to enjoy all of our events because we had the SJS team looking out for us and handling any issues / concerns on our behalf. It was such a pleasure to work with the whole team and we hope we can work with them again in the future!

Sonal Shah is fine for small low budget wedding but she is definitely out of her league when it comes to exquisite and glamorous weddings. She neither has the experience nor the expertise for a high end extravagant wedding.
I have worked with SJS events for several weddings in NJ, NY and a destination wedding in Aruba. I have personally witnessed Sonal s dedication and hard work ethic in providing attention to every detail ensuring her brides vision is brought to life. Her team is just as wonderful. The level of professionalism you receive from SJS events is of highest-quality and you will not be disappointed.
Sonal J Shah Event Consultants is one of the most professional event planning companies I have worked with in my over 16 years in the luxury event industry. Sonal and her team always ensure every detail is perfect, from the venue selection, decor style and food and beverage. Sonal and her team always give their clients 110%. I would recommend Sonal J Shah Event Consultants for anyone looking for an amazing team that is dedicated to ensuring their event is flawless.
Amazing Service!... I booked my wedding with Sonal at SJS events and It was the best decision I did while planning my wedding. She became my new BFF through out the planning stages. Sonal went over every detail with us to make sure our dream wedding was flawless!
Thank you Sonal & SJS Team for make my dream wedding come true.
Having known and worked with SJS events on many weddings in the past 10 years, it is clear the level of expertise and quality of work is 10/10. Sonal and her team dedicate hours to providing brides with an easy, comfortable, and stress free experience while creating the perfect day. You will not be disappointed with booking with SJS events.
Sonal and her team are like a well-oiled machine! She was the first decision we made after getting engaged and the team helped us execute our vision from beginning to end. The actual day ran so smoothly and we could focus on what really mattered, enjoying every moment of our special day stress free! Everyone said our wedding was a dream . I think that says it all!
Sonal and her team made magic happen at my brother's wedding in September. Thanks to the SJS events team, our guests (and we, as hosts) got to enjoy the party of our lives, without a hitch - and none of it would have been possible without Sonal's consulting, planning, and coordinating services.
It's hard to remember everything that the SJS team contributed to the wedding weekend. They were understanding and sensitive to our families' needs, they shared their wedding wisdom and advice freely, even if it wasn't always exactly what we wanted to hear - and thank goodness they were honest, because they were always right.
I wish I had been keeping notes on everything they did for us, but I was busy enjoying the party! It was completely stress-free. Every vendor they recommended was a superstar; and every other vendor, they brought up to their level.
I have never seen my entire family on-time, much less early, for anything, but the SJS team made it happen with solid planning and great communication. They were laser-focused - no detail was too small or too large for them to handle.
There are a hundred things more that I am forgetting and probably a hundred things more that we will never know they took care of. I have never heard of a wedding where literally nothing goes wrong, until I was part of this one. If you are considering Sonal and her team, reach out to them! They will be the best decision you ever make (and they'll make sure every decision after that is a good one too).
My husband and I are generally procrastinators, and we honestly had no idea how to approach this wedding planning. Sonal and her team were beyond godsend, they made sure we were on task throughout the process without being pushy. Sonal always listened to our ideas, we were able to incorporate everything we wanted, and she was a very big reason why everything was able to come to fruition. She was also very realistic and kept us on task and our budget. Our wedding day was an absolute dream, my parents cannot stop raving about how everything went without a hitch, and we cannot thank Sonal and her team enough for everything they did. It truly was the best day every for us.
We were married in October 2018 here in NYC and none of it could've been possible without having SJS and the entire team behind us. Their attention to detail is incredible and worth every single penny. We planned our wedding with SJS for about a year and a half prior to the big day. We had a lot of moving parts in our wedding as we had multiple days, multiple events along with two separate ceremonies; one Hindu and one Christian. None of this would've been even close to possible without Sonal and her team. The events, days were seamless, painless and incredible. We have so many wonderful memories from that time in our lives; we left our wedding so thankful for the SJS team. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!
I am a high end caterer in NYC and love working with Sonal. She is incredibly organized and all of her weddings that we have worked together have been so beautiful and perfect.
