February 2026

We were incredibly fortunate to have Poonam from The Maharani Diaries as our on-the-day coordinator, and honestly, our wedding would not have been the success it was without her. From the very beginning, Poonam did an incredibly thorough handover with me, taking the time to reach out to every vendor, confirm all details, and clarify as much as possible well in advance of the day. Her experience, professionalism, and calm approach provided us with so much guidance and reassurance — which was invaluable, especially given the level of detail I had planned but without the same experience she brings to the table. Poonam has fantastic rapport within the wedding industry. She’s worked with many vendors before and has built great relationships, but what stood out was how quickly she connected and built trust even with those she hadn’t worked with previously. It made everything run seamlessly. One thing another couple once told me really stuck — that the vibe of the couple sets the tone for the whole day. My husband and I felt relaxed and happy throughout, and that energy flowed to our guests. That sense of calm and joy was only possible because Poonam had everything under control. Her run sheet was second to none, every detail executed perfectly. Even though our weather turned out to be perfect, Poonam had a detailed wet-weather plan ready to go — just one example of how she leaves nothing to chance. On the day, she and her team worked tirelessly (my husband described them as “CIA agents” with their intercoms!), ensuring everything ran flawlessly behind the scenes while we and our families could truly enjoy ourselves as guests at our own wedding. It’s such a difficult job, and yet Poonam and her team made it look effortless — always smiling, always in control. Choosing her is a complete no-brainer. All the hard work and planning that goes into your wedding deserves to be executed beautifully, and that’s exactly what Poonam delivers. You absolutely owe it to yourselves to have her on your team.

For those who have thought about hiring a wedding planner, firstly I highly recommend hiring one! and secondly, I highly recommend hiring Poonam and her team at The Maharani Diaries! Everything went according the plan across all of our wedding and pre-wedding events. Our perfect wedding days were largely due to the work Poonam and her team put in!

I came across Poonam through my virtual shopping experience and we hit it off straight away. Though I didn't end up going with that certain brand, as a leaving note she mentioned she does wedding planning and in my head I was like 'I've got this'. Boy I was wrong.. Scrambling close to the big day and we had a referral from a friend who spoke highly of their planner, turned out to be Poonam from Maharani Diaries- this world is small. Comfort and ease are the two things that she consistently brought to the process. Most of us are planning a wedding for the first time and there's so many details that go into a day, let alone 4 days and Poonam and her team were all about the finer details. She was prompt, did thorough check ins which was well needed for us planning virtually, constant follow ups
