I used Elegant Affairs for my Mandap alone. I also used DJ Sharad for my wedding.

EA was pretty pricey but they had mandaps that I really liked and are definitely elegant.
This was mine.

cant get it to post but its in my album..sorry

the Elegant Affairs quote was about 6500 more than the quote i got from unique emporium (now stylish events) so i went with unique. i rented my table cloths from Linen Creations for $15 each and they were excellent. I'll try to post pics of my mandap and centerpieces. the cp's arent anything special but then again, they were kinda cheap...

Re: OFFICIAL Indian 'Desi' Wedding Thread

I checked out your pictures -- I love the Venetian Yacht Club! I wanted to get married there but our guest list is too high for them

I was going to ask you who did you're mendhi because it was comparable to the best I've seen -- and then in the pics, I see little Namisha. She's the best! How much are her rates? --she's so quick too!

I saw a glimpse of your mandap, I should go back to Stylish -- he does do an incredible job.

Any brides on here with actual pictures of House of Dipali's work?

Re: OFFICIAL Indian 'Desi' Wedding Thread

LOVE IT!

Yeah I need to go back to Stylish. His work is great, he just doesn't have the pictures to show it off!

Mendhi looks great too... I'll google her #.

Re: OFFICIAL Indian 'Desi' Wedding Thread

Looking at your mandap got me thinking! The kind of mandap I want isn't long... And it's going to look weird in the RH!

These pictures are from another wedding, but I guess I need to make sure she can stretch thesr mandaps out!

i LOVED elegant affairs presentation and their work but they were out of my price range :(, i seriously considered booking them but in the end, i decided to stick with unique. your mandap is GORGEOUS, i don't think unique can really compare
