TESTIMONIALS

“WOW” to Sketchknots. Never regretted even for any small thing for choosing Sketchknots for our daughter’s wedding. What a fantastic journey of 2 years working with the amazing wedding planners Annada and Manoj. Our daughter’s and son-in-law’s fairy tale dream wedding was something out of a magazine! It was the PERFECT destination wedding and words cannot express our gratitude for Sketchknots team. We came to them with a simple idea and they worked their magic and brought it to life by choosing and working with the best vendors. Annada always made the couple feel as though she had everything 100% under control. Everything, every person, every moment… and it’s still being talked about by every guest. Thank you Sketchknots for giving the wedding our children dreamt.

I am a Punjabi from Bangalore, was getting married to a Malayali from Dubai, in his hometown, Kannur. So you can imagine the level of complication. It just doesn’t end there, I wanted all things Punjabi in a small town in Kerala, while having a traditional Kerala style wedding. My relatives were traveling from different parts of the world and the city had literally 5 decent hotels (forget 5 star hotels). So, I needed someone who could fulfill all my whims and fancies without having the luxury of actually having those luxuries around. Annada and her team were able to do just that. Starting from providing me the most perfect choreographers, who prepared videos and followed up with all the friends and family scattered across the world, to managing logistics, getting me a Ghodi in Kannur, having the most amazing Punjabi food, to booking train bogies for my relatives to travel in!!! All I can say is, it’s easy to execute a beautiful wedding when the surroundings support you, but only an amazing wedding planner can help you with a wedding of your dreams irrespective of the environmental conditions.

Going with Annada and Manoj was one of the best decisions we made in our wedding process. We began working with Annada two years before our wedding and during the entire time she was incredibly patient, kind, and understanding. More importantly, it was very easy and quick to explain our vision to her, and she understood what we wanted and executed it perfectly. Being in another country and attempting to pull off a destination wedding halfway across the world would have been nearly impossible if it wasn’t for Sketchknots. Annada was always available any time we had questions or concerns, or needed to discuss something about the wedding and during the wedding festivities, both Annada and Manoj were always around ensuring everything was going perfectly for us. Working with Sketchknots took a lot of stress and time off our hands that we would have otherwise encountered if we attempted to plan our wedding ourselves. We have never met a team that were so dedicated to the work that they do and hold true to what they believe in. Sketchknots also had amazing vendors that they introduced to us and we were happy with all of them, from the wedding favors, to the wedding cake, the musicians, the DJ, the MC, the makeup artist, and especially the décor.

We don’t have enough words to describe how incredibly Annada and Manoj ran the show. We started off as getting a wedding planning service from Sketchknots but it was far from what a paid service is like. They worked tirelessly all day and night and put all their heart into it. Their entire team slogged like it was a wedding from their own family; got their hands dirty and took care of every tiny detail with no regard to how big or small the job was. There was not a single task that they did not take up; extremely flexible with changes and tolerant to crazy tantrums from the bride or the family 😛The decor was out of the world and so was the coordination with different vendors. Given that the wedding was in a remote location, it was amazing to see how they managed the logistics and transportation. Annada even took care of my clothes and jewellery shopping with a lot of patience, while Manoj was there to deal with my emotional breakdowns. Together they are an amazing team who will wave their magic wand and make your dream wedding come true. You can always count on them 🙂

No amount of money or words of gratitude will convey how thankful we are for their efforts 🙂

We live in Australia and was organizing our wedding in Kumarakom, India. We had two church services, a family dinner, 2-3 guest entertaining events such as cricket match and 2 big evenings – the night before and the wedding reception. We had people from many different countries and places in India, and most people flying in for the wedding. We were very involved with the organizing at every stage. Sketchknots team were there from the start – planning began a year in advance. From the start, we appreciated how upfront Annada was in her dealings with us. We also appreciated that we could talk openly about our budget. We liked how available they were – always ready to have a conversation about our planning. They were flexible with planning and we felt we could make changes and organize things exactly how we wanted while also having their input and experience. They were also very easy to deal with during the stressful wedding days.
With regards to décor, they were quick to understand our taste and they went above and beyond what we wanted/planned to make things nice. We loved our videographers, they were extremely professional and reliable. Overall services from Sketchknots were good and would recommend them.

We chose Annada and Manoj to be our wedding planners because it was evident that they shared our sense of aesthetic and shared our vision of wanting a wedding that had a contemporary tasteful style. From the outset, we were very impressed with their passion and dedication for wedding planning. They patiently helped us with the complicated decision making process, often brainstorming for hours, going through every minute detail. In addition, they were happy to travel from Bangalore to meet us three times in advance of the wedding to talk through ideas. Closer to the event itself, they worked tirelessly to try and make our vision a reality and to deal with unexpected last minute issues and even enhanced our events with some amazing surprises. We thank them for their patience and their efforts in making our wedding events so special.
