We hired Diakon (Ashish + Komal company) for our wedding planning. From the get-go, the business seemed fishy when Ashish contradicted his own statements. One example of that is when he told us that the planning fee would be 2L in the first call and later asked for 2.5L - when we said it was 2L in the first call, he pretended to reduce 50k for us and didn’t entertain further negotiations. We should have taken these early signs more seriously but Diakon was the cheapest planner we could find and when we did the reference check, everyone they connected us to gave great reviews for Komal. So we decided to hire Diakon. Then this happened: 1. Ashish kept asking us to pay the full planning fee to him before the wedding and hold Komal’s decor money until after the wedding is over without consulting with her 2. Komal bit more than she can chew in her production business in which she rents out decor elements to other wedding planners and had no time for our decor planning. 3 months before the wedding, we didn’t see any of our inputs included in the decor presentation 3. Ashish asked us to budget 12L for Diakon’s services when we hired them. 3 months before the wedding, Komal made a bill of 20L At this point, we knew we are being robbed so we decided to fire them and thankfully, found a new wedding planning company to take up our project. I would highly recommend everyone to not fall for this trap and avoid hiring Ashish / Komal as wedding & decor planners - you need someone you can trust 100% I know we’ll see a long reply making us the devil here but I believe the readers can choose what they want to believe :)

Komal and her team have been an integral part of my wedding. Her team of extreme professionals maintained parity between unfavourable weather and a worrisome family. The success of final events speaks volumes of her hard-work and passion towards weddings. My wedding was concluded with utmost satisfaction and hence I would highly recommend Komal and her team. Big thank you to Jigyasa, Denzil, Shreya !

I am glad we chose diakon events for our wedding in goa. Due to work schedule we were not able to travel to goa to visit the location. However komal helped us with all the information and ensured we don't have to travel and can be managed through calls and video calls. komal ensured everything fits into our budget and did the best decor for us. She not only understands the needs of the clients but delivers more den asked for. I would like to thank komal from the bottom of my heart to make my wedding exactly I dreamt of. Anyone planning their wedding, without a doubt hire diakon events.

Komal and her team did a fantastic job at our wedding!! They first spent time to understand our vision for our wedding and accordingly shared ideas, customised to our venue and budget (they can even turn your most abstract ideas into reality). Yes, Komal is a busy girl and you may feel like she isn't being able to spend too much time (since all people getting married want a 100% attention)..but if you express this to her, she makes sure to take out time to meet you :) Having Komal manage the wedding felt like having a friend managing things. She was there from a day before till much after the wedding events, ensuring everything was taken care of so that the hotel also didn't have any complaints. I highly recommend hiring Diakon Events!!

Komal and her team are professional décor vendors. We had a low budget in mind for decor with a minimalist look, Komal at all times made adjustments and suggested options that would fit in our budget. She was very helpful, supportive, creative and we could completely trust her with Décor. My partner and I didn't even do a final check at the venue because we knew that diakon events would do the best for us. This helped us in a great way because we could focus on other preparations for the wedding and it meant that we could stress less about one part of the Wedding. She's also a very nice person and calmed us down prior to the wedding stress. Komal is the best person you can choose for your wedding decor and not worry about any aspect being left out. Thank you Diakon Events.

My wedding was a dream wedding for me & my family. It was a destination wedding in goa, and we live Hong kong, made our work difficult as we had never to the the resort were getting married. But, It turned out a very magical the was all the stuffs were arranged. It was exactly the way i ever thought of. It was indeed the effort from the Diakon team and Komal, where we decided everything only 10 days before the wedding. She made sure that everything is perfect. Since i was most of the the time in getting ready and busy, Komal made sure that she was on ground and modified the stuffs instantly, which is very rare in case of the wedding planners. All the setups were unique, the way we wanted. Diakon Event Makes your wedding dream come true.

I am the bride and DO NOT USE this vendor if you want to have a successful wedding They are so unprofessional - Komals father comes right in the middle of the event screaming and demanding money when they should have collected the money the day before (and they DID NOT) not right in the middle of service - very inconsiderate. The Diakon team themselves were scared and could not calm him down.it seems like he has some personal issues and takes it out on events like this. It is so embarrassing. Komal should keep personal drama at home and bring it to events. Komal has not apologised once to me - either phone, email or WhatsApp. They are complete liars as well - on the response below they came back saying I begged them to take the event 2 days before. No bride would do that! They had the bank transfer done way before that. Maybe that they are so unprofessional that Diakon does not have a good handle on their own bank accounts. Also they are talking about calling the bank in front of us - will be good to know which bank branch they called as proof - again will prove that they are complete liars. They have not delivered half the things and just priced the items up - when asked for refund they come back with items we did not ask for which they provided out of free will and also we were NOT AWARE OF.. As they do not want to refund us they are defaming every review written by my family and friends From one bride to another reading this - you want everything to go smooth on your big day - save your self the trouble and Komals family drama and DO NOT USE them It will be pointless reading the response below as it will be yet another lie from the company.

Planning a destination wedding is not easy and even more so if you live 8000 miles away but Komal and her team made this whole experience as stress-free and dreamy as possible for us which is why we can't recommend them highly enough. We came across Diakon events on the WedMeGood website just 6-7 months before our wedding day and the main reason we did not hesitate to shortlist them immediately was because of KomalâÂÂs positive, transparent and confident demeanor. Unlike many other planners we spoke with at that time, we were able to get very straight answers from her regarding the itemized costing of decor elements, additional license fees, decor details etc. Despite the different time zones we were at, the whole planning actually was a breeze because she and her team were always willing to accommodate our calls, send constant updates on our group chats and patiently answer any questions we had however trivial they were. Sending us itemized detailed costing, PowerPoint presentation with the decor elements and mood boards just made it even easier for us to keep track, visualize and make any modifications until the actual wedding day. We had a 2-day wedding celebration in Goa with 3 different events back to back and they were all executed just perfectly by Diakon. Komal and her team were always around, working day and night to set everything up and making sure everything went according to the plan and it required the least amount of supervision from us, leaving us to entertain the guests and enjoy the celebrations. She was so easy to work with, extremely flexible and even added some surprise elements of her own that made the decor look even more stunning. KomalâÂÂs hard work and attention to detail to bring all elements together just beautifully is especially commendable and impressive. All of our guests were totally enchanted by the decor that we were getting compliments over and over again and for days that followed the wedding they honestly could not stop talking about it. The best part was that we were so stress-free throughout and can't thank them enough for taking care of everything end to end. If you are looking for planners in Goa, look no further these guys are totally amazing!

I approached Komal and her team for planning our wedding in December 2018 at Bay15, Goa. We were impressed by her initial presentation and reviews. Even though we asked her to decorate our venue, she proactively helped us with other really good vendors for other requirements. Now, with regards to the decor, Diakon Events took a good venue like Bay15 and transformed it to a totally different new level. The entire dance floor was covered with a truss with beautiful flower chandeliers. The pictures I've attached tell you only half of the story. You would need to be there in person to experience it. Our guests were enthralled with the decor, and we received compliments on the decor for weeks after our wedding. What's the best part about everything was that working with Komal did not require extensive planning and effort. We met her both just once, after which she handled everything online, and helped us with the iterations. Also, we did trust her a fair bit, to take a call on certain aspects, based on her experience. We are glad to report, she did not let us down, at all. To top it all, she did this in a reasonable price, truly within our budget. Overall, a truly fairytale setup, brought to life by Diakon Events. Thank you, Komal, Denzil & team for a truly fantastic experience of working with you guys. Lots of love, Romeena & Nilesh

I loved working with Komal on the decor of my wedding reception, even though it was from across the globe. After sharing a few pictures with her on what my vision was for the rustic-chic wedding I was planning in Goa, she quickly got on the same page and delivered exactly the same (in fact much better). "Fairy tale wedding", "the decor is so you", "super romantic decor", "I want my wedding to look like this" were just some of the few compliments that we received from our wedding guests. The lights, flowers, backdrop, props all came together in perfect harmony and I am very glad I chose Komal. She also portrayed what the decor elements are gonna be before hand in a powerpoint presentation and gave an exhaustive breakdown of the expenses. We were able to iterate a few times on the changes that I requested using these documents and Komal worked with us at each point to make sure we got what we want. Komal and her team in general are very easy to work with, responsive, great at what they do, and keep you in the loop at each step to get your feedback.

Komal led and managed all aspects of this wedding, from day-1 ideation to every little detail of final execution. Her capacity for calmness, flexibility, design aesthetic, attention-to-detail and positive client-relationship management was remarkable. Being a wedding planner is far from easy, and working with Komal helped me appreciate the monumental effort it takes to keep track of every evolving want vs. need. The fact that she was able to put on a stunningly beautiful wedding, EXACTLY as I had dreamed of it, and execute with perfection despite a 75% chance of rain (on all days of the wedding), while managing a client (ok, ok, bridezilla) who was sitting in another country, with an 11 hour time difference, unable to chat through ideas on the phone, or even meet in person (#facetime), or handle the minutia of payments or quotes in INR, deserves a HUGE round of applause. As soon as we were landed on the ground in Goa she re-worked several of the events to accommodate a potential monsoon wedding, and her local connections made her an incredible resource to go to for sourcing EVERY last detail. She was amazingly optimistic and upbeat and her presence was SO reassuring it made a huge difference. And beyond her happy smile through all the last minute changes, she even went the extra mile in small but important ways (you can see her and her teammates holding up umbrellas over us, to keep us dry during the hour or so that it did rain). To Komal and her dream team - thank you SO very much for your hard work, determination, vigor and amazing speed with which you pulled off our wedding in Goa. There are 100+ people scattered around the globe that are still can't stop talking about the incredible and memorable experience you helped create for them - i would recommend Diakon events to anyone thinking about any kind of event in Goa. And for anyone thinking of "doing it all yourself" - please don't lol - leave it to the experts - you will be so grateful you did. Cheers, Gaya

We are from Hyderabad n this team did EXCELLENT job in hunting us a venue by the beach in Goa with a spectacular view and delicious food service. Decor detailing was plannd over emails n customized n reworked patiently with several changes until we were satisfied. They brought the classy fairytale wedding to life exactly as planned n paid attention to flower colors, seating, creating welcome tiaras, couple picture storyboard, cabanas for dinner n dance floor etc. Komal's passion for her work shows as she is available almost 18 hours a day n remembers little details. It was raining n they made sure to protect all the decor until the rain stopped. Special shoutout to Pranoy for arranging us a car as we arrived (not their job), THEY TRULY CARE !!!
