The Select

The Select Weddings: Excuse the long review, but as a future bride and groom, I know you want to read an honest review that will help guide you if this team is the right fit for you. And, I wanted to emphasize why I recommend their service. I cannot begin to thank Michael, Shikha, and their team! My husband and I got married in February 2024, and I kid you not, this wedding would not have been possible without these two. I'm a first year medical resident, so my schedule is jam packed and planning a wedding in India while living in the US was unimaginable to me. However, Michael and Shikha were On. Top. Of. It. They coordinated all my calls on time despite the time difference, coordinated meetings with vendors, and coordinated my tours for the venues when I came 1 year earlier to book the venue. In addition, each of their recommended vendors were incredible DJ EMN, the Pramod Gupta mehendi artist, the venue, etc. Most importantly, Michael and Shikha helped my parents throughout their wedding responsibilities when they arrived a month prior to the wedding. Future brides can imagine how much it means to alleviate the stress on their incredible parents, and Michael and Shikha did that without even asking. They are honestly such good-hearted people, and they got along with my family so well! I couldn't have imagined making such life long friendships through this process. Also, their team is phenomenal! They provided me, my husband, my dad, and my mother-in-law with their own shadows that helped us with ALL of our tasks throughout the wedding events. Each of them were so helpful, but special shoutout to my girl, Sonia! She became a friend, and she kindly lent an ear for me to vent to in those *high* stress situations and really talked me down. 10/10 recommend The Select Weddings Excellent communication: Each query and/or message was responded within 12 hours, max, for me. Incredible attention to detail: They've thought of it all. There are a thousand things at weddings you won't even think about, but they're on top of it and go over everything with you. From coordinating rides for each of our out-of-town guests, to gift hampers, to directing each guest to their rooms, my parents and I didn't even have to think about 50% of the things we need to do for our guests. Remarkable Team Work: Their team is phenomenal. You can tell Michael and Shikha have chosen each individual as a part of their crew with a lot of thought and care. Constant Presence: There will never be a moment when they won't be able to give you guidance. Even before the wedding festivities, Michael and Shikha accompanied me to meetings with vendors and venues and negotiated on our behalf, which was really helpful since no one in my family lived in Chandigarh. They let me take the lead with each conversation so I never felt unheard, but they were there for me when I needed their support. They met with my parents many times in January before the wedding. For the wedding, Michael and Shikha remained with us since Thursday for pre-wedding prep until the last people left (us) the venue. Our shadows remained with us until we went to bed on each day. Anything I needed, even if it was not available at the venue, was within my reach within 20 minutes. Dedication and hard work: In all honesty, these people are some of the most hard-working individuals. I have not seen such dedication from wedding planners to their clients with any of my close friend's weddings. Even in the US, where an average Indian wedding planner, could cost you minimum $5-10K, those planners don't even come close to the well-rounded and exceptional services by The Select team. Michael and Shikha go above and beyond for their clients, and you can tell their work means more to them than just a means of income. TLDR: Michael and Shikha love their job, and their clients are a top priority to them! The cherry on top is that they have such big hearts! They really do become part of your family through this grueling process and even make it fun! My wedding was beautiful and each of my guests couldn't tell us enough how much fun they had! My heartfelt gratitude to these two and their team!

We see all these picture-perfect weddings on Instagram and WedMeGood and all brides and grooms including us - always strive for our weddings to be like them. But little do we know the kind of meticulous planning and pro-activeness that actually brings in the magic. Hiring “The Select” has been the best decision of my life after selecting my groom of course!! Shikha and Michael literally become a part of your wedding party - knowing most of your relatives by face and most importantly know our tastes, like and dislikes by heart, as if they’ve known you for years. The decor, the stationary, the vendor management, the guest management, the whatsapp groups to communicate with our guests, to even personally helping a very close ailing family member in dire need, Shikha and Michael ensured that everything was pitch-perfect with a huge amount of personal touch and tender love and care that was required. They went above and beyond to give us the dreamy wedding both me and my groom hoped for. In all of this mayhem (weddings usually are, mine wasn’t), Team Select made sure me and my groom and even our closest family were well taken care of. If you are planning a wedding, anywhere in the world, you can trust The Select with your eyes closed. Every vendor that they suggest you, every alternative, every jugaad, comes from the great experience that Shikha and Michael have from their hotelier years - and it shows. My guests, family and even us were in awe of how the wedding turned out to be, and it’s all because of this power duo and their well curated team. Thanks Team Select, I’d happily get married all over again, just for you to design and plan it again ;-)

When my partner and I decided to tie the knot, we knew we wanted something extraordinary, something that transcended boundaries, just like our love story. We embarked on an incredible journey that saw us, a couple based in the United States, teaming up with a wedding planner based in India. From the first consultation to the final farewell, the experience was nothing short of magical. Planning from Afar Hiring a planner located halfway around the world might seem daunting, but with the guidance of Michael & Shikha, it was an effortless process. The initial virtual meetings were filled with excitement and creative brainstorming. They exhibited an unwavering commitment to bringing our dreams to life, listening attentively to our wishes and preferences. With their extensive knowledge of Udaipur's enchanting venues and unique offerings, we felt confident that our destination wedding was in good hands. Seamless Coordination The time difference and distance between us never posed a problem and with their exceptional communication skills, made us feel as though we were next door. They meticulously organized every aspect of our wedding, from choosing the perfect location to coordinating with vendors and suppliers, no detail was too small. The fluidity with which they managed everything, despite our physical absence, was nothing short of astounding. Magical Execution When our big day arrived, it felt like a fairy tale. The decor was a harmonious blend of American charm and Rajasthani elegance. The guests were transported into a world of opulence, thanks to the flawless execution by the team. Memorable Moments Our wedding in Udaipur will forever be etched in our memories, thanks to our incredible wedding planner. The team's dedication, creativity, and unyielding commitment to making our day exceptional was evident in every moment. From the vibrant mehndi ceremony to the emotionally charged vows, every event was orchestrated to perfection. In Conclusion If you're considering a destination wedding, especially one that spans continents, we wholeheartedly recommend entrusting the task Michael & Shikha. Our experience working with them was nothing short of phenomenal. Their dedication, attention to detail, and ability to create a seamless transcontinental celebration surpassed our wildest expectations. Our heartfelt thanks go to the team who turned our dreams into a reality, making it an event that not only celebrated our love but also the beauty of two worlds coming together in harmony.
