The Wedding Mania

If you're looking for a wedding planner who promises perfection but struggles to deliver it, read this before booking Bela Bhatt and her team at Bright Candle Events now known as the wedding mania. Let me be clear—Bela has the ability to plan stunning weddings. But in my case, it seemed like she took on more weddings than she could handle. I remember her mentioning that she had another event on the same day as mine, which meant she wasn’t there during the day, leaving her team to manage everything. Unfortunately, her team did not deliver. I was the bride who did everything—I planned layouts, finalized designs, and approved every detail well in advance. My mistake? Trusting that all this planning would be executed properly without me having to oversee it personally. I shouldn’t have had to leave my makeup, skip moments with my family, and run around checking if things were actually being done as promised. But that’s exactly what happened. Here’s what went wrong: Major décor elements were either missing, incorrect, or poorly executed across multiple events. No accountability. Instead of fixing things, I got excuses. When I raised concerns after the wedding, I was blocked on Instagram. (Probably to avoid negative reviews.) Maybe if she had focused on fewer weddings at a time, things would have been different. She and her team CAN deliver a great wedding—but only if you are on top of every detail and supervise everything yourself. If you're looking for a planner who will handle everything seamlessly so you can actually enjoy your wedding stress-free, this may not be the right choice. I’m sharing this so future brides can make an informed decision. If you choose to book, be prepared to manage them closely, or risk disappointment.
