worst place to book for wedding

So booking Hotel Harsh Anand for marriage venue involves two parts a) booking the premises, and b) booking the “Parihar Decorators” for decoration, catering, etc. Hotel has a tie-up with them and one is forced to book them. While hotel premises would deliver on their promises basis the package chosen and provide decent enough services. But the decoration company (“Parihar decorators”) are a big cheat and would make sure that one’s marriage function is ruined. The worst thing is that all payments are made in advance and once as customers we are cheated, there is nothing much that can be done. As we don’t have monetary leverage, these folks are hell bent on cheating and not delivering on the promises/expectations made to the customer. Please be aware to not choose this hotel and if you still want it make sure to just not choose same decorators which hotel provides.
I can go pages about the issues and hassles they had created during my own

wedding in July’21. Summary would be issues ranging from a) setting up a smaller stage then what we payed for, b) not putting floral decoration which was promised and for that we had payed extra (over and above their standard packages), c) pathetic catering services, d) pathetic food stall stand setup which fell off in the evening (luckily no one got hurt), and most importantly e) no ownership from the decoration company. The organizer/manager (don’t want to take names) ran away in the middle evening and we had to coordinate with drunk associates/workers directly with absolutely no responses. If you need more details, please ping me, will share details of their modus operandi of how to cheat customers.

Hotel Harsh Ananda's reply:

Thank you for choosing Hotel Harsh Ananda for your wedding function.

It has to be pointed out that each Hotel has tie up with some particular decoration company for operational efficiency as it is NOT possible for any new vendor to completely set up and remove on the same day for next vendor to work on the next day.

Apart from this reason Hotel has no interference or interest in the matter.

From Day 1 you and each and every customer is made aware of the vendors and their direct contact numbers. You then directly discussed with the decorators and also finalised after looking at photographs and also made payment to them directly.

As per your own review you mention that,, "While hotel premises would deliver on their promises basis the package chosen and provide decent enough services".
But still you are purposely and wrongly maligning the reputation of Hotel Harsh Ananda which is a trusted brand in the city for over 120 years.

We request you to post your reviews and feedback about the decorators on their online pages and remove the same from Hotel's profile as this is will misguide others and cause great damage to Hotel Harsh Ananda's reputation wrongly.

As a Hotel we try to accommodate all possible requests from our customers and even though we may not be involved in the decoration discussion and arrangements but still if any customers point out any problems we try to help them and sort out the issues as best possible.

Also it needs to be pointed out that even though you had signed a contract with the Hotel which clearly mentioned that If you decided to postpone the wedding due any reason including Covid'19 it will be treated as cancellation and no advance will be refunded, Still as a goodwill gesture Hotel transfered your full advance and allowed postponement even though weddings were allowed by the government and took place on your original date of booking.

But it is very easy to post a negative review about anyone and everything without and not bother about how genuine it is or what harm it can cause the other party specially for No fault of theirs.

Thanks

good but not brilliant!

I would not say that this property was brilliant but yes its a good venue, decent enough. We had just rented a hall, caterers and decoratpres were external only, so not much to write about. One can surely consider this.
