Sheer Romance

We had our Reception on the 27^th of February 2016 at the Anaheim Hills golfclub.
With only 6 months to plan, we sought after Yogi by hearing many good things from our other vendors. Yogi is a busy man and in demand. So be patient with him as on the day of your event, the finished décor will be breath taking. He works well within budget, and goes over and beyond to make your event super special.

Talk about AMAZING, Yogi at Sheer Romance, was absolutely clutch for our wedding. We hired him 3 weeks before our big day and was a HUGE help! We talked to tons of wedding planners but knew after one conversation with Yogi, that he was going to execute and be by our side to help us through everything. We had an Indian-​American blended wedding and it turned out beautiful. Anything we struggled with he fixed. He took our vision and our plans and made sure they came to life. He was beyond patient with us (as we had a plethora of ideas, excel sheets and plans all over the place, that might have drove most coordinators crazy), and he talked us through solutions and made sure all of our vendors were on point. He goes ABOVE AND BEYOND to make sure everything is perfection and that we (the bride and groom) could enjoy our wedding day and not worry about any of the details. He is beyond a wedding planner he is now a very dear friend and we HIGHLY suggest him and also plan to use him for any event we do in the future. We are so so grateful to him.

My wife and I had the pleasure of working with Yogi for our wedding in November. If one word can summarize the experience with Yogi and Sheer Romance it would be, AMAZING.
When we initially met with Yogi, he presented us with many different ideas for the Mandap and Reception Stage design. My wife had a few different ideas that she had seen in wedding photos and Yogi provided ideas that would work within our budget. He was also very flexible after we signed our contract if we wanted changes, he even offered new ideas during our venue walk through! Two weeks before the wedding he went over ALL of the details with us to make sure we weren’t missing anything and accommodated any changes we had on our end.
The day of the wedding he arrived at 6am with his crew to set up the mandap and it was beautiful! He was there the entire day to make sure every detail came out perfect.
We would recommend him to anyone getting married in the LA area. Yogi, thank you. You’re the best!

Yogi is a fantastic wedding planner and did an incredible job on our fusion Ind-​Western wedding.
Base details: 5x events; 5x different venues; approx 500 guests; short-​notice contract; within budget; worked with countless vendors + State (CA Parks for wedding venue) + Federal (Nixon Foundation for reception venue)…
We had previously contracted with a different wedding planner who couldn’t manage the scope of our events (or maybe dealing with my parents), but Yogi saved the day (literally!). We were able to contract with Yogi efficiently, and he made himself available to us at all hours of the day, it was really incredible.
We had several events, a Mehndi, Pithi, Garba, Wedding, and Reception. All these events were at different venues and a variety of vendors. Whatever vendors we didn’t already have, Yogi was able to provide us with contacts and worked well with all of them.
The events themselves went off without a hitch, which is impressive considering the complexity of these events. I legitimately couldn’t imagine managing this ourselves and am very glad Yogi was available to be our wedding planner.
We also utilized Sheer Romance for a variety of decorations and structures on the stages.
Lastly, all of our vendors sang words of praise for Yogi, which I feel says the most. These vendors work with so many wedding planners on a regular basis, it’s excellent to hear that they all enjoyed working with Yogi as much as we did!
All in all, we had an excellent event without any issues. Yogi allowed us the opportunity to relax and enjoy our event. If you’re considering contracting Yogi, do it… get a fantastic start to your married life and make this an event your wife + family + husband + inlaws + guests will remember fondly.

«Yogi did a fantastic job planning and executing our fusion wedding! His detail to work was noticed by our friends and families during our multiple events he planned and decorated. He was helpful in all aspects of our wedding planning from helping us decide on photography/​videography to food catering, venue, decoration and beyond. Yogi was super easy to work with and flexible with our families schedules. He also did our decoration, which surpassed our expectations. He did everything he could to give us a reasonable price on our overall wedding coordination package. He’s honest and trustworthy and great at what he does. All of his advice helped us enjoy the most special weekend of our lives. If you are looking for a planner that cares and that won’t rip you off, go with Yogi from Sheer Romance!»

My husband and I used Yogi for our mehndi, sangeet and wedding (ceremony & reception) décor. In my opinion, Yogi is the best Indian wedding decorator in Southern California, hands down.
He really works with your budget and wants to understand your vision. He met with us and talked with us over the phone so many times, even when I didn’t want to because I was too busy. He really wants to make sure he gets it right for you. And boy, does he. Our wedding was BEAUTIFUL. Everything I had ever envisioned.
But my favorite part of working with Yogi is that he doesn’t limit himself to just being your decorator even if that’s what you’ve hired him for — he has thousands of suggestions on how to make your event run smoothly, what vendors to utilize (he suggested our wedding venue to us at a time when nobody else would have even considered it and it ended up being a HIT), how to organize your guests and your timeline, and is just really very very very experienced at Indian weddings. So much added value that it really makes SUCH a difference in your peace of mind.
Yogi, thank you. I cannot recommend you enough. You were amazing :)

Yogi is as good as it gets! He is such a patient, calm and caring person. He was the wedding planner for my sisters ceremonial portion and mehndi night for the wedding. I can say that the venue was decorated beautifully and his service was a ¹⁰⁄₁₀. He also decorated our house which looked beautiful! We are so happy to have Yogi as one of our vendors!

We engaged Yogi Patel Sheer Romance for my daughter’s wedding at Sheraton. He coordinated this gala event with splendor and turned this into a smash hit! Many of our guests had a fabulous time. I highly recommend him and have already funneled a lot of upcoming weddings to him. He is the EXPERT!!!

We hired Yogi for his coordination and decoration skills. Yogi did a great job working with all our vendors to create a cohesive look for our wedding ceremony/​reception. We did a fusion style wedding (I’m Nepali and the groom is Indian) and we chose to do our civil ceremony in CA at the Sheraton Park hotel in Anaheim. Yogi created a ceremony backdrop that was elegant but also displayed both our cultural backgrounds. He coordinated the colors well and gave his advice for how to make sure our ceremony site would look great even though we had A LOT of colors going on :) We ended up going with his recommendation of matching our colors to the bridesmaids and groomsmen, which helped make me and my husband stand out even more with our own outfit colors. Yogi worked hard to get me the vendors that I wanted and he was also willingly to work with a couple new vendors that I had found without hesitation. Yogi also created a fabulous reception backdrop for our stage. He worked with our DJ who did the lighting and the end result was amazing!
Overall I highly recommend Yogi to any bride/​groom looking for coordinator/​decorator skills, especially those who may be on a budget. Yogi was able to show me a lot of examples of the kind of decoration he could provide within my budget. After working with him I highly recommend him and his team! He stayed until the very end of our event (answered all my parents questions) and made sure the night was to my satisfaction before leaving!

Long overdue review. I got married back in September 2014 and hired Yogi to do all of my wedding décor. He is AMAZING! I am American and my husband is Indian and we planned a traditional Hindu wedding, of which I had zero knowledge. Yogi was so helpful with guiding me without being pushy and also getting my input about what I wanted for my wedding. Everything turned out so beautifully and I am forever grateful to Yogi for the wedding experience he gave me. Yogi was always responsive and always available when I needed him. I definitely recommend him!

I am writing this review about Yogi Patel and the experience me and my family had with Sheer Romance, in the planning and arrangement of my wedding this past January.
My family had a vision for a traditional South Indian wedding, and my fiancé (now husband) wanted all of the romance and authenticity that would speak to the love that he and I share… Yogi and his team put together a wedding day experience that went far beyond anything that myself, my parents, and my husband could have ever conceived of on our own… It was an extraordinarily beautiful, elegant, completely magical wedding ceremony and reception. Every detail – décor, planning, recommendation and coordination of vendors – throughout the year of planning, all the way through the last moment of the last song at my reception — every single detail was handled with exceptional professionalism, honesty, warmth, cultural respect, and grace.
It was not a perfectly smooth journey… Things went wrong, there were challenges, emotional tensions within my family, discord and disappointment with our hotel, last minute changes, etc… The one constant throughout it all was Yogi Patel’s advocacy for our needs, and tireless, patient work to make sure that problems were handled swiftly, professionally, and completely, so that true crises could be avoided. Yogi never misled us about anything, and no matter what happened throughout the process, he completely respected and communicated with my parents and the elders in my family. No question was ever considered an intrusion or unimportant, and if Yogi had to explain things more than once or twice, he did it kindly, patiently, and with a ready smile.
Bottom line? After waiting my whole life to get married, I was given a ceremony, a reception, and a collection of gorgeous memories that I could not have imagined could be mine… My very traditional family got their immaculately fashioned, traditional South Indian Hindu ceremony, giving all of my elders and my parents peace that all things were done in accordance with their beliefs.
My advice to other brides out there? Book Yogi as your wedding coordinator now, then sit back and smile knowing that wedding dreams are on their way to coming true!

Yogi is a great guy, professional and he has a british accent! Seriously what more can you ask for in a Indian Wedding professional?
Great Guy — You can count on him to be honest, tell it how it is but also watch out for you and make sure you aren’t spending more than you have to.
Professional — He runs a quality business, and provides a quality service.
British Accent — When someone talks in a british accent… everyone listens… Simple as that… You need Yogi to convince your parents why a certain idea may be in your best interest? Let the british accent do the work.
If your a music fan and you know the artist Seal… We all joke around saying Yogi looks like Seal =) So when you see him make sure you say
” pa da da daaa — da da da da — da da… I’ve been kissed by a rose on the gray…“
I DJ many events where he works so it’s an inside joke.

I was helping my friend with her indian wedding. She was a non-​indian bride and I am also not indian. Let me preface this review by stating we were both clueless. Yogi– the designer was God sent! He made sure she had all the Traditional elements of an Indian wedding. The customer service he provided was amazing!!! Then let’s fast forward to the wedding. He was on time and very professional. And his work was AMAZING!!! He transformed the venue to the Taj Mahal! I am practically lost for words! I really wish I took some pictures of his designs but I was so busy that day. He made sure the bride’s vision was captured in every little detail. He made sure the day was smooth and we did not need to worry about anything. I really wish I can have another wedding just to use yogi!!!

We had very little time to plan for my sis-​in law’s wedding but I am glad we engaged Sheer Romance as coordinator and decorator. Yogi was a savior. He not just offered us a great deal but also worked out amazing pricing with other vendors. And that too without compromising on the quality and creative components.
Flawless, fuss free and extremely accommodating that’s Sheer Romance and Yogi for you.

Yogi did an absolutely wonderful job coordinating our wedding as well as handling all décor aspects. I came into wedding planning mode with very distinct ideas of what I wanted and Yogi was able to work with me to perfect every single element beyond what I imagined and within my budget! His personable character and ability to work well under pressure really came in handy during our wedding weekend!
Yogi has immense talent and I would 100% reccomend entrusting him with your wedding planning and décor. Everything from our wedding timeline, to our mandap design and centerpeices were executed in the most professional way. We have had multiple people tell us that our wedding was the most well organized and beautiful wedding that they ever attended — I truly believe this was due to hiring Yogi and having him as a part of our team. I cannot reccomend his services enough!

Yogi does an awesome job, he listens to what the bride and groom want and totally delivers. I used yogi for my all my décor wedding and reception and he also coordinated both my events. I met up with Yogi about 5 times on the weekends 6 months before my wedding and he was very accommodating. I defiantly recommend sheer romance to all
My friends and family.

We used Yogi for our wedding and reception and he did an amazing job! Our wedding venue (CCPA) was a bit unique in the layout and Yogi did a beautiful job designing around the contours.
On top of the amazing design, he was willing to work with us on keeping costs close to our budget without compromising on the look. If things start to cost too much, he’s great at providing alternate solutions that wont disappoint.
We HIGHLY recommend him!

Yogi was wonderful to work with. He was recommended to us by our friends Simran and Suneet and we used him for our engagement party. He turned the beautiful backyard into a magical palace and everyone was beyond impressed by the beauty of his décor. He also brought an assistant who helped him throughout the night. Yogi also arranged for our lighting vendor, bartenders, bathroom cleaning ladies, and made the process easy for us. Thanks Yogi!

I’m not a big reviewer, but I feel that Sheer Romance, especially Yogi and his associates were a phenomenal help in the wedding design of my sister’s wedding. Yogi made the process very friendly and convenient for us by creating a trusting relationship by going above and beyond at every hired task.
We hired Yogi for décor for all of our major events including a Mehendi/​Sangeet, Garba Raas and Wedding Ceremony. At each event he simply took our expectations to another level through unique and creative backdrops, along with being helpful with ensuring that we received the best deal that we possibly could.
Yogi not only aided in the décor, but accompanied us to Downtown Los Angeles to introduce us to his vendors to ensure that if there were any décor items, such as smaller scale florals, table runners, linens, etc. that we could do on our own, we would have the available resources to so.
Due to venue sizing constraints, we hosted my sister’s wedding outdoors in a tent, and with Yogi the tent vendor contract was an ease as he was able to properly communicate with Vigen Party Rentals what we were envisioning without any direction from the wedding party. There are not very many honest vendors out there that would be willing to introduce you to the vendors they purchase their materials from or go above and beyond to ensure your event is everything you envision it to be, which is why I believe he does a phenomenal job at everything he does.
Below is a brief recount of all the décor that Yogi provided us with at all of my sister’s events which made the event amazing! I have also uploaded a few images which correlate with a few of the below listed items.
Mehendi/​Sangeet
— Beautiful backdrop with uplighting and fairy lights
— Beautiful love seat
— All decorative pillows
— Staging enhancements and cover-​up
— All sky roof draping and enhancements
— Lanterns (hanging and stationary)
— Hurricane vases with colorful gems
— Pipe and base to cover unpleasing areas of venue with theatrical draping opening
Haldi
— An idea to utilize the blue fabric (initial bought to use as a table runner, but with his vision and direction, we were able to utilize it to match the décor of the haldi)
Garba Raas
— Beautiful backdrop with uplighting for outdoor stage area
— All murthis and enhancements
— Center piece set-​up with diva stands
— Dandia canisters
Wedding
— Beautiful open-​style mandap
— All chairs and staging elements
— All Florals
— Walk-​way (Blew us away how he was able to use the wedding logo to create the pattern for the sides of the aisle)
— Main entrance décor
— Beautiful backdrop for head table with uplighting
— Head table enhancements with draping and décor elements
If you’re looking for a company that has a vision and is easy to work with, you should definitely reserve Sheer Romance for your next Wedding or special event because if you trust Yogi, he will create a phenomenal event design for your next special event!
