MSJ Event

I ultimately hired another decorator for MORE than MSJ Event quoted me. That should tell you this was never about price. It was about professionalism, clarity and trust. The problems started from the beginning. Our first scheduled call was missed and I had to follow up. We later agreed on a meeting day, only for Mona to tell me she had subsequently booked another event and ask me to rearrange my schedule. I accommodated her. More confusion followed, and she eventually apologized and explained that she had mistaken me for another client. The biggest problem was pricing. Mona initially gave me a range of $3,000–$5,000. I agreed to it and repeatedly asked whether everything we were discussing could be accomplished within that range. I was repeatedly told yes. Nearly two months later, I received a quote for $7,423 plus tax. That’s almost 50% above the maximum I had been told to expect. What made this even more concerning was the design process. I was told I would receive a rendering of the event. Instead, I received what amounted to a collection of reference/inspiration photos and was essentially told to imagine how it would all come together. When I wanted clarity on the actual design, the images were only “inspiration.” Yet when discussing what I owed, the quote and its numbers suddenly became very specific. I was being asked to accept exact numbers for a design I was expected to imagine. That is not a level of ambiguity I was willing to accept for an important event. I ultimately walked away and hired another decorator at a higher price. The difference has been night and day. I was willing to spend more money; I simply wasn’t willing to spend it with someone after nearly two months of missed commitments, conflicting communication, unclear design deliverables and a final price nowhere near the range I had repeatedly been assured would work. You can replace a decorator. You can’t get two months of planning back. Based on my experience, I would not recommend MSJ Event

Overall, we had a decent experience working with Mona. She delivered on the core services we had agreed upon and helped connect us with vendors throughout the planning process. Our wedding day came together well, and we appreciate the work she put in to help make it happen. Wishing her continued success with future weddings!

I am glad we chose MSJ events center for our wedding. Mona and her team were extremely professional. They understood our preferences and set up the decor exactly to that. Highly recommended!

We recently worked with MSJ Event (Mona) for our daughter Sakshi’s first birthday, and the experience was exceptional from start to finish. Mona managed both the event planning and décor, delivering a celebration that was as beautiful as it was seamless. This is the second time we’ve worked with her—she also organized our older daughter’s 5th birthday—and both events were consistently excellent, each with ~150 guests. What stood out: Flawless execution & attention to detail: Every element—from color palette and florals to backdrop, signage, and table settings—was thoughtfully curated and perfectly coordinated. Nothing felt generic; everything felt purpose-built for our family and the occasion. Clear grasp of the theme and design vision: Mona takes the time to truly understand the theme and your design needs, asks smart questions, and then translates that vision into cohesive décor and guest experiences. She balances aesthetics with practicality so the setup photographs beautifully and functions well for a large crowd. Organization you can trust: Timelines were tight and well-managed. Vendor coordination, load-in, setup, and teardown all happened on schedule without us needing to micromanage. She had contingency plans ready (always reassuring!), and the flow of the program was smooth throughout. Guest experience at the center: From welcoming touches to kid-friendly zones and thoughtful cues for transitions, Mona made sure guests were comfortable and engaged. We received so many compliments on both events, and our family was able to enjoy the day rather than run logistics. Professional, responsive, and easy to work with: Communication was timely and clear. Budget guardrails were respected, and she proactively shared options to get the most impact without overspending. Both celebrations were memorable and stress-free, thanks to Mona’s professionalism, creativity, and meticulous planning. If you’re looking for someone who can bring your vision to life, manage all the moving parts, and deliver a beautiful, well-organized event, MSJ Event is an excellent choice. We highly recommend Mona and will gladly work with her again.

Mona Ji did an incredible job decorating and staging our Gaye Holud (Haldi). The floral arch display was stunning and exceeded our expectations in the best way! It received so many compliments from our guests. She was very accommodating to our requests and executed everything perfectly and on time. I highly recommend her for all your event decorating needs!
