Exclusive Events

My Husband and I worked with the New Owner, Ricky at Exclusive Events for our engagment. Ricky and his team did an amazing job as our decorator, so much so that we constantly have our friends and family come up to us asking us about who the decorator was. He was just so easy to work with since day one. He is professional with his work and will make sure you love what you are going to get. We were having a hard time imagining how our backdrop would look with our color scheme, and so he went right to work. Ricky didn’t hesitate once and called us in a week later to view a «sample» backdrop at his place just so we would get an idea of how it would look at the actual venue (which really helped us decide some last minute changes that we wanted to make). The final outcome was just spectacular, it was beyond what we had imagined it to look like. Ricky also works very hard with your budget and tries to incorporate whatever he can to best fit all your needs. I would defintely recommend Ricky and his team for all your events. I know I have recommended him to a close friend of ours, who had also recently gotten engaged, and as expected he did a wonderful job at her occasion as well!

I am a Wedding Photographer based in Long Island, New York. Over the past four years, I have worked with over a dozen décor companies and planners alike. However, I felt it necessary to write a review specifically for this one particular company.
Wedding vendors are often given unlimited access to closed doors. With that said, we’ve seen it all! From the little mishaps to the sometimes gargantuan ones and no wedding is complete without its own. These mishaps are never seen by the guests and if you’re lucky enough to hire a planner who works well under pressure, these mishaps go unnoticed by the hosts as well.
Exclusive Events’ attention to detail, unwavering effort, timeliness, creativity and delivery goes above and beyond and the owner, Ricky Bhatia, is always an absolute pleasure to work with!
I always recommend my clients to vendors who are truly passionate about their craft and I can honestly say that you’ll be at full ease should you hire Exclusive Events to bring your event to life!

We had the pleasure of working with Exclusive Events for our wedding reception 2 weeks ago. We worked with Ricky, who is the new owner of Exclusive. They were patient with us from the beginning. Ricky had a sit-​down with us during our initial appointment and walked us through each little part of the décor. We had Exclusive Events do our stage decorating, lighting, centerpieces, DJ services, and photo booth services — so as you can see, they were in charge of the most biggest projects of the event. I was a bit worried at first because I couldn’t imagine how the décor would look based on our color selections. But I was left speechless on the day of the event. Everything came together so beautifully! Ricky and his team arrived on-​time and worked non-​stop to make sure the place looked beautiful! Our hall was completely transformed! We were open with Ricky about our not-​so-​big budget for the reception, and he worked with us to make sure we still got what we were looking for while staying in our budget. Even with our not-​so-​big budget, we were still able to get some of the best looking centerpieces and decorations. And the photo booth was a big hit at our reception! Ricky himself was the DJ at our event and worked with our families to set up an itinerary and made sure the night went very smooth. During our meetings with Exclusive Events, we sat with both Ricky and his wife (who also owns a Desi clothing store in the area), and we discussed event details in a way that made us feel part of their family. They are such kind people that work very hard!
Do not hesitate to contact Exclusive Events for any wedding décor, DJ, or photo booth services. Many of the Unilocal reviews are regarding Siraj, the previous owner of Exclusive Events. I can attest that Ricky does not work like the previous owner. Ricky and his team are professional, kind, organized, attentive to details, and work to make sure the bride and groom and their families are satisfied with their work. We are very grateful to have found Ricky and Exclusive Events. Thank you for handling such big parts of our wedding reception and taking away all the stress out of our big day! We can’t thank you enough!

I have no idea why people are talking bad things about Exclusive events. My wedding was just few weeks ago and Exclusive events was my décor. Siraj is the most awesome and professional person ever. The stage that I liked was above my budget so I got very sad and told him that please show me something in my budget. He told me «I would never let a bride walk out of my store with a sad face. I’ll make your dream stage and I’ll make it fit in your budget.» So, I told him to take out majority of fresh flowers from the stage and he said ok. But the day of the wedding when I entered the ballroom I saw that He actually gave me extra flowers. He gave me more flowers than I saw in the picture. My centerpieces were amazingly beautiful. Can’t wait for the photos, I’ll definitely upload them. I was truly speechless. He also did my Mehendi decoration. He gave me beautiful Moroccan Lanterns as centerpieces for mehendi and charged me nothing for that! A big THANK YOU TO SIRAJ AND EXCLUSIVE EVENTS FOR MAKING OUR DAY SO BEAUTIFUL!

Just one word… HORRIBLE!!! Siraj (the owner of the place) is the worst person to do business with. Highly disrespectful and unprofessional. I was introduced to this place thru a friend and I really thought it will be a great idea to do business with someone who I know through a friends reference. Clearly I was wrong! I went here to check out décor for my wedding and Mehndi venues. Initially, I was satisfied with having Exclusive being my décor. During our 1^st two meetings, Siraj gave me some final prices which I thought were decent, but after doing my research, I figured he was charging way extra and not delivering what I wanted. I went back and asked for a better price/​offer. But at our third meeting, I heard a lot of ignorance in Siraj’s tone and he basically seemed annoyed (why? Just because I wasn’t willing to finalize the deal under a lot of pressure from him and needed more time before booking his company to do my wedding decoration) Well, I’m sorry if I needed more time to decide on one of the biggest part of my wedding!!! Siraj’s tone was rude and sounded as if I was bringing a big downfall in his business by not putting in my deposit — At our final meeting he had another customer sitting in his office at the time of my appointment and when the customer asked if he had to go, Siraj looked at me and said ‘oh don’t worry — she can wait’ and continued talking. Finally, after waiting for extra half hour, without any apology, he acknowledged my presence. When I was about to put my deposit, I was told (with a lot of attitude and sarcasm) that I can’t have the furniture that I picked for the stage initially cuz I was ‘late’ — he kept rubbing it on my face that I should’ve put $$$ few weeks ago. At that point I was so extremely frustrated and just decided to leave without further discussion. Later I texted Siraj and politely told him that I want to shop around more, so please don’t hold that day for me. In return I received some insulting/​threatening messages from him saying that I wasted his time and he is going to call my Mehndi hall and tell them to charge me extra price since in his mind I had his discount because the owner of that venue was his friend. I was SHOCKED! This to me was NOT professional at all. Like who does that? Threatening your customers? Insulting them just because they decided to do business some place more affordable? I am so disappointed and disgusted by his behavior that I don’t even have any words for it. He tried his best to ruin my wedding events. Went extra mile to call his friend so he can charge me extra (who btw is Thomas at Cotillion) Thank God his stupidity and low end tricks didn’t work and everything went extremely well for my events. I ended up having Stylish Events and Mehak floral — they did an extraordinary job and I was more than satisfied/​happy with their services! Only hire Siraj/​exclusive events if you want your event to be ruined and want to be treated like crap… HORRIBLE PLACE, TERRIBLE OWNER!!!
