We absolutely loved working with Harmony Weddings, and specifically, our planner Daniel for our fusion wedding! Daniel was so amazing to work with. From our first meeting almost 2 years ago, to our wedding day, Daniel was extremely thorough and organized. He was always willing to answer our many, detailed, questions and helped us to feel calm and prepared in the lead up to our wedding. Daniel's knowledge and experience are incomparable, and he helped us to find vendors who met our vision, while remaining in our budget. On the day of the wedding, Daniel and his team helped to make sure everything was running seamlessly, allowing us to enjoy the day without any stress. We had so many guests comment on how beautiful and organized the wedding was, and tell us how much they loved Daniel! We are so grateful to Daniel and Harmony Weddings to help make our special day unforgettable.

Daniel and team helped us have a wedding day filled with so many incredible memories. We did partial planning, so there were still plenty of things we were responsible for on our own - but it was really helpful to have his lists, his recommendations, and the deadline of monthly meetings as a check-in point. Any time we had a question about a vendor or a "is this really how this works" type of a thing, he was quick to check in with the rest of the Harmony crew - so we were really getting all of their collective expertise along the way. If you have South Asian parents, they might be the *hands on* type, and Daniel was great about including my parents in conversations whenever asked to make sure they felt in the loop.

Week and day of, there were plenty of things that we just did not have the brainspace to make detailed decisions about, and Daniel took care of them (check out the pictures!) By then he knew us and knew our vision, and just saying "this needs to go on a table sort of like this" was enough for him to run with. Plus, he, Heidi, and Corinne had fun (also see pictures!), which I think translates to a better experience for guests. We ran on time and no one had any issues getting food, also two important things. Post-wedding, we ran into some issues with equipment returns that the Harmony team also helped us work through. While that's no fun for anyone, we appreciate that Bethany took the time to speak with us and hear us out.

If you're having a South Asian fusion wedding, we absolutely recommend the folks at Harmony - they're the first name that gets mentioned when you ask in this area for a reason! Thanks Daniel and crew <3

We used Harmony Weddings and specifically Aneesa for our wedding planning. We are both doctors who live in Texas and were trying to plan a wedding in North Carolina. Additionally, we were combining both Catholic Indian culture with traditional American culture. All said, we knew we needed help. We hired Aneesa for her full service wedding planning and she worked with us to stay in budget the whole time. Aneesa was flexible around our very busy schedules on a different time zone. She coordinated all contracts, vendors, arrivals, etc.

I think the best part about Aneesa and her team though is ultimately the seamless day of. My now husband and I did not have to think about a single detail the entire day because Aneesa and her team were two steps ahead. From corralling guests, making sure vendors arrived and the venue was set perfectly, coordinating buses for 200+ people, making sure we had water throughout the entire day and night, and breaking down and cleaning up at the end of the night, Aneesa and her team took care of it all.

Our wedding would not have been as perfect as it was without Harmony Weddings. We had Kathryne as our planner/coordinator, and she was amazing throughout the whole planning process and the day of the wedding. Her expertise in the industry is second to none, and if you want to have a stress free wedding she is the way to go. She is very organized, communicates effectively, and can work with any of your concerns to make the wedding day perfect.

Daniel and his team were absolutely incredible throughout our experience. As we began planning and got closer to the wedding day, people would often ask me if I was stressed out about wedding planning. Truthfully, I never really felt stressed out because I knew Daniel had everything covered. On the day itself, I felt like I could really enjoy myself because I wasn't worried about small details or the timeline. We had the absolute best time and would highly recommend Daniel and Harmony weddings.

Words cannot describe our amazing experience with Harmony! Allison was our wedding coordinator and she was a complete rockstar. From last minute calls, to keeping everyone (specially me) calm/sane on our wedding day, to making sure our vision came to life…. I can’t thank her and the harmony team enough! Would give 10000 stars if I could ❤️

When embarking on the journey of curating our dream wedding, it was paramount for us to actively support and uplift black and brown vendors. In our quest to find professionals who resonated with our vibe, style, and overall vision, we were fortunate to discover Harmony Weddings, with Sydney as our lead planner.

Right from our initial meeting, it was evident that Sydney understood our dynamic, recognizing our bubbly and fun-loving personalities. Managing all the 'on the ground' logistics, especially considering our planning from afar in DC, Sydney proved to be an indispensable asset. She skillfully navigated challenges, ensuring our peace of mind even in the face of unresponsiveness from potential vendors. Sydney seamlessly provided alternative options when our envisioned outcome seemed compromised.

As the orchestrator of our wedding day, Sydney truly lived up to the role of the 'quarterback.' Her meticulous planning and execution were evident on the day itself, where she kept everyone punctual, treated our elder family members with the utmost respect, and maintained the overall flow of the day flawlessly.

Partnering with Sydney and the Harmony Weddings team was a decision we wholeheartedly cherish. My husband and I are grateful for their instrumental role in making our big day unforgettable.

I cannot express enough gratitude for our planner Bethany Degro with Harmony Weddings! We started the planning process in January 2022 and celebrated our wedding June 2023. Bethany was incredible from the very start! We chose a partial planning package, which split the work between myself and Bethany. I truly never felt stressed or overwhelmed with her help. Our first meeting went over vision and budget, which tremendously helped me understand all the details that go into wedding planning. She provided several recommendations for local vendors and would review contracts for us as well. She helped with many meetings and answered any question along the way, which always kept me at ease. She is incredibly kind and respectful. Once the wedding day arrived, there was not a single thing I was stressed about. She even picked up our breakfast so I didn’t have to worry about it! Her team was 10000% prepared on the day of the wedding, to the point they were able to sew a ribbon onto my bridesmaids dress that broke in order to fix it for ceremony! She made sure my husband and I had appetizers, dinner and dessert so we could enjoy every bit of it. I also had a major makeup problem and one of the assistants was always there prepared to help me fix it. I cannot say enough of how appreciative I am for all her help! Even though it was a partial package, I felt like I had a full planning experience. Hiring this team and Bethany was by far one of the best wedding decisions I made!
