Your Personal Wedding Shopper in India
An Indian Wedding Planning Checklist can be a really long one, especially if you are having a multiple day celebration. While it is imperative to be organized, it is also important to relax and keep your cool throughout the process. Brides can sometimes get overwhelmed with all the various details they have to handle in order to make their big day memorable: from venue, caterer, decor, cake, to invitations, bridal wear, and jewelry; throw in keeping up with the latest trends.

While your wedding planner can take care of your venue, caterer, decor, cake, photo, video, and day of coordination; how does one get her wedding shopping done? Should you go to India, or should you look for clothing and jewelry vendors locally? If shopping in India, It is overwhelming to get all the shopping done, while trying to maneuver through a new city, and especially if you do not have family in the city you are visiting.
Enter Neha Rani Mahajan. Neha offers a wonderful personal shopping experience to South Asians based abroad in Delhi, India. Born, and raised in Cherry Hill, NJ, Neha spent many summers in India while growing up. A graduate of Penn State, Neha moved to New Delhi in 2007 after getting married. She planned her own wedding in Delhi while she was in the US, and has many years of first hand experience shopping in India. Not only does she keep up with the latest trends, she also understands what an Indian American bride is looking for. She says, “When Indians from abroad come to Delhi, they have a long shopping list and a very limited time. Throw in the mix: haggling with the vendors, communicating in Hindi, and an unfamiliar Indian business culture. My goal is to give the South Asian brides abroad, a stress free, and relaxing shopping experience.”

Neha has a few packages, where she can custom tailor it to fit your needs. She provides consultation, where she can recommend shopping areas, and schedule your appointments. She also offers her personal shopper service on an hourly basis for a couple days. While some brides are able to make it to India for their wedding shopping, others might not be able to go because of work or school. Well, no worries again; Neha can do consultations with you over phone, and email, where she will gauge your style and work with your budget. She will then shop according to your taste in India and ship everything back to you.
Neha’s All inclusive package, includes private consultation and an exclusive shopping experience, where she will come with you to all the stores to get your wedding shopping completed in the allotted time frame. If your stuff is not ready for you to take back with you, she will coordinate with all your vendors and get all the remaining items shipped back to you.

Hi. Does Neha (or someone similar) offer such services in other cities?

An honest review of this company: I am getting married at the end of this month and have wasted months trying to get my bridesmaids sarees all the same colour from Neha. Despite various promises the blouse sizes were wrong, had them sent back to india to be done again – when returned they were still wrong. The sarees were in different shades despite being told they would be the same. Also had to deal with numerous bills from fed ex. I would have been better off ordering from a website – at least avoiding 100 promises and having to pay 20% of the costs to her for service fee. It was no different from ordering online – there is no personal touch. If you are put off using Indian companies because they promise the world and fail to deliver – then definitely be wary of using this service – it is yet another company which fails to be professional.
