Gala Events

As the brother of the bride at our traditional Gujarati Patel family wedding, I was closely involved in the planning, and Gala Events delivered with complete professionalism. From the beginning, the planning was structured and dependable, with every ceremony executed exactly as discussed while respecting our traditions. The decor was elegant, timelines were followed, and coordination across all events was seamless. Ms. Manisha, the CEO, and Sandeep were amazing throughout the process. Calm, responsive, and always in control, they ensured our family could enjoy the wedding without stress. Gala Events is reliable, disciplined, and truly professional

We couldn’t have asked for a better wedding planner than Manisha from Gala Events. From start to finish, she handled my brother’s wedding in Hyderabad with absolute grace, professionalism, and heart. Every detail big and small was thoughtfully planned and beautifully executed. Manisha has an amazing ability to understand the family’s vision and turn it into reality while keeping everything smooth and stress-free. The décor, coordination, and overall flow of the events were flawless, and we truly got to enjoy the wedding without worrying about a thing. Her dedication, calm approach, and passion for her work clearly reflect in the final outcome. If you’re looking for someone reliable, creative, and genuinely invested in making your celebration special, Gala Events and Manisha are a wonderful choice. Highly recommended!

Extremely disappointing experience with Gala Events. We paid ₹2 lakh in advance, after which communication became inconsistent and eventually stopped. Despite repeated follow-ups and a verbal assurance of a partial refund if the wedding did not proceed, no refund was processed and no clear response was given for months. We were left scrambling to arrange another vendor close to the wedding date. There was no proper office presence, coordination, or accountability during a very important life event. The lack of transparency and professionalism caused significant stress — emotionally and financially. Sharing this so others proceed with caution: please verify contracts, payment terms, refund policies, and vendor credibility thoroughly before making any advance payments.

Choosing Gala Events for our event turned out to be an excellent decision. From the very beginning, the team was professional, attentive, and genuinely invested in understanding the vision and requirements. Every detail was thoughtfully planned and beautifully executed. The overall coordination was seamless, and the event flowed effortlessly from start to finish. The décor, ambience, and organisation reflected a high level of creativity and precision. What stood out most was the team’s ability to handle everything calmly and efficiently, making the entire experience completely stress free.

Negative Review – Gala Events We engaged Gala Events for the wedding in the Shah family, expecting professionalism and smooth execution on such an important occasion. Unfortunately, our experience was extremely disappointing and stressful. From the very beginning, there was poor planning and mismanagement. Event timelines were not followed, there were significant delays, and several services that were clearly promised and paid for were either not delivered or delivered after being asked many times. Despite repeated follow-ups, there was no accountability or urgency shown by the team. The individual involved, Mr. Sandeep, failed to manage the situation responsibly. Instead of resolving issues, we were put under undue pressure at critical moments during the event, being told to return the payments and non cooperation when services were already incomplete, which felt like coercion and emotional blackmail during a family function. And when issues and delays were pointed out during the wedding, he started threatening us by saying their female staff has been abused, the staff is being called by all names, you don't know my background, we have documented everything etc etc . The only thing they managed to deliver was 1. Wrong attitude 2. Lazy staff running non productively from here to there with a wired earphone and a mobile phone 3. Interns from college who couldn't even manage themselves 4. Misbehaviour 5. Blackmail the client 6. Absence at the venue during the event 7. No apology or addressing the issue A wedding is a once-in-a-lifetime event, and due to Gala Events’ unprofessional conduct, non-delivery of commitments, and lack of ethics, our family had to face unnecessary anxiety and embarrassment in front of guests. We strongly do not recommend Gala Events (Ms. Manisha and Mr.Sandeep) to anyone looking for a reliable or trustworthy event management company.

Planning our son’s wedding from the US could have been overwhelming, but Manisha and the Gala Events team handled everything A to Z with such grace and perfection. Every detail from coordination to execution was seamless, thoughtful, and beautifully managed. The decor, flow of events, and overall experience were truly flawless, allowing us to be fully present and enjoy every moment as a family. We are deeply grateful to Manisha and her team and highly recommend Gala Events for their warmth, professionalism, and exceptional execution

From the very beginning, Manisha and Sandeep were transparent, responsive, and patient with us. We had multiple discussions, several changes in requirements, and tight timelines, but the team always handled everything calmly and professionally. The decor was elegant, tasteful, and exactly as discussed. The wedding mandap, floral arrangements, lighting, and stage setup looked stunning in person and even better in photographs. Many of our guests personally complimented the decor and overall event flow. What we appreciated the most was the on-ground coordination. Weddings are dynamic, and last min changes are inevitable, but the Gala Events team managed everything efficiently with the venue staff and vendors without burdening the family. That peace of mind is priceless during a wedding. We found Gala Events to be honest, hardworking, and genuinely invested in making the wedding successful. We would confidently recommend them to anyone looking for a dependable wedding planning and decor team. Thank you, Manisha and Sandeep and team Gala events , for being a solid support system on such an important day for our family… we recommend them to everyone!!

For the info of all this may seem to be long story but I felt I should provide candid feedback including all the positive and negative aspects. We performed our daughter’s wedding in Hyderabad with events happening on 25th 26th and 27th November 2025. We fixed up our deal with Manisha much earlier in the months of March-April 2025. During the first meeting itself I and my wife told that we would be performing a Telugu traditional wedding and Manisha claimed that she worked on many Telugu weddings and she depicted as though she was well aware of the common events in a Telugu wedding. We still went over the various events in detail and trusted that she noted every detail because of the false impression of being highly professional she cast on us. Since we were lacking funds at the time of finalizing the deal with her at our venue, we paid a very minimal token amount and told her that we would take some time to make the advance payments as we were waiting to realize funds from somewhere. We appreciated Manisha for accommodating our request on this aspect. Initially we trusted her to provide us with all the addons like, Ghodi, lights and punjabi dhol for Baraat, Nadaswaram at various events and few other stuff, but when we realized her pricing was much higher for some sub-standard stuff, lost confidence on the add-on services being provided and informed her that we would handle those ourselves. The coordination between the event manager and the venue manager / staff was almost not there. We told Manisha and Sandeep multiple times to coordinate everything with the staff at the venue, but they would not do that. Probably only a fortnight before the event we realized that they were not doing it as they would have to pay security/royalty to the venue authorities if they got in touch with them directly. About one and a half months before our d-day, we hear for the first time from Manisha that we must complete 100% of the agreement amount. It was shocking!!! We put our foot down and told her that we would not pay the full amount before the complete decor was delivered. However, as a tradeoff we agreed to complete the payment on the 26th night, which was the eve of our marriage day. As agreed we paid the final amount on the 26th night. Just before making the final payment at around 8PM, I checked if the marriage decor was getting done before the next day morning and the answer given to me was that it was almost complete. To our dismay, the decor for the main event, marriage was in such a bad shape by the time we reached the venue in the morning at 8 am for the function which was supposed to start by 8:30 am. I got to know from people later that they did not even start the decor until early morning of 27th. Such a big lie..... Below were some of the terrible shortcomings: 1. Enclosure for Gauri puja was not set up. There was only one coordinator who was trying to get the things set up. When we checked with him about it, he had no knowledge about it. Sandeep’s phone was switched off. When we checked with Manisha, she claimed that it was never mentioned by us. However, I should thank the coordinator over there who managed to somehow rush it up after repeated nudging. 2. The decor for the wedding mandap was not ready when we and the pandit ji arrived for Puja at 8:30 am. 3. Pathetically dirty sofas were placed (video attached) in the first two rows for guest’s seating which I got totally removed. 4. 25 moras of Mogra malas not given on the wedding day. 5. We did not get the Parda to be put before the muhurtam and had to manage with a chunni. 6. Despite calling and messaging Sandeep multiple times to ensure that we get all the props for the wedding rituals we did not get confirmation. 7. Another most important aspect of Telugu wedding – the butta(basket) in which the bride is escorted to the wedding mandap from the Gowri puja site was not given. Instead, they were preparing phoolon ki Chadar which is not even our tradition. We had to rush someone to a close by market to get the butta in the eleventh hour. Basically, we felt that Gala events do not seem to understand their customers' requirements in the first place. 8. Coming to the decor for the events on the 25th at home, overall the job was commendable and well delivered though they carried on the job almost until 3:30 am of 25th thus disturbing us the whole night before our event. Here again we had to arrange the okhli for crushing the turmeric early morning on the 25th because what they provided was a plastic one good for only pictures. 9. The spot chosen for the Snatakam function during the day which runs into the mid-day with hot sun was devoid of any shade. We had to make them shift the spot to a different place at the last minute. If these details had been discussed with the venue manager before, such problems would probably have been sorted earlier. 10. The black cloth put behind the stage backdrop for the Sangeet event was not covering the whole area properly thus giving a shabby look. 11. Promised Pyros guns during the Sangeet event were not provided. 12. The wedding Mandap was supposed to be just a foot above the ground, but it was erected with a height of almost 3 or 3.5 feet, thus making it vulnerable for people to fall and get injured (because of which there was a constant tension during the wedding) We tried calling Sandeep to provide feedback but no response. No response to even a whatsapp message. Just zoned us out. Honestly speaking the services not provided after promising should be refunded

Manisha and her team at GALA EVENTS, made our wedding truly unforgettable. Choosing them was the best decision of our lives. The wedding was absolutely beautiful, and every little detail was taken care of with so much thought and care. We are so grateful to the team at Gala Weddings and especially Sandeep, for creating memories we will cherish forever. Highly recommended to anyone planning their big day.
