    PERFECT sofreh aghd

    Patrice made the most beautiful sofreh aghd for our Persian wedding ceremony. She was absolutely wonderful to work with - always great with communicating, asking great questions, and offering lots of options. She was able to execute on our vision without us even being able to fully articulate it. We wanted our sofreh to look glamorous but still blend in with the natural surroundings (we had an outdoor ceremony), she did a perfect job of weaving the two. She also seamlessly incorporated family and Persian traditions into the sofreh. Everything was truly PERFECT and we were so happy how it all turned out. Our experience working with Patrice was nothing short of 5 stars and would highly recommend her to anyone and everyone!

    Extremely professional and attentive!

    So many wonderful things to say about Patrice Golesorkhi and her team!! Patrice worked with me on a partial planning package for over 6 months to help plan my wedding. From the very beginning she was *always* available to answer my questions and so quick to respond. She recommended vendors when I needed them (with discounts since she collabs with them). She's very willing and open to doing what the bride and groom want on their day, and always shared her expert advice based on her many wedding experiences. She was always on top of the planning process, making sure we had everything we needed booked and planned in a timely manner. She planned the schedule for day-of, and managed all the details like talking one-on-one to vendors, helping me think of all the details I may or may not want to have, gathering information from me such as seating charts and inventory lists. My family and I were able to sit back and relax while she so professionally orchestrated everything without a hitch on the day-of exactly how we had planned and talked about, sometimes even exceeding expectations with her arrangements of the decor we provided for her. She even helped me when our linens went missing the few days after the wedding. Absolutely A++ professional experience, I would 100% recommend her to any friend looking for a planner!

    *Dream Team*

    Patrice and her team are simply THE BEST. My dream wedding would never have been complete without them. Patrice did an incredible job with our sofreh aghd. Their attention to detail was much appreciated. I felt confident knowing my wedding was in their hands. HIGHLY recommend!

    Amazing Sofreh Aghd

    PG and her team put together the most beautiful sofreh aghd for my persian/christian hybrid wedding. Her attention to detail was impeccable. She took my vision and brought it to life in the most elegant way. I am a super particular person who also doesn't enjoy being too far in the weeds, and I gave her very high level guidelines on what I wanted my persian sofreh to look like - she knocked it out of the park. DO NOT HESITATE to work with her and exclusively events!

    The best special event coordinator in DMV!!

    There are truly not enough good things we can say about Patrice and her team! She is extremely organized and will make you feel at ease about your special event. She goes above and beyond to ensure that all aspects of your event day run smoothly. Her and her team pay extreme attention to detail and make themselves very available for meetings and check ins leading up to your big day! We could not be happier with the help and care we received on our wedding day!!

    Sofreh Agdh setup

    Poopak was professional, ontime, and what a display for the sofreh that she setup for us during my son's wedding.

    beautiful sofreh aghd!

    it was such a pleasure to work with poopak (“patrice”)! my husband’s family is persian & we decided to have a mixed persian/american ceremony, starting with a sofreh aghd. poopak was incredibly responsive & flexible throughout the planning process, ensuring she was honoring persian traditions, as well as our personal preferences/style. it was such a comfortable experience & we are so appreciative of the beautiful ceremony she officiated for us!

    BEST wedding planner EVER.

    Patrice, where do I even start? Prior to our wedding, my husband and I were looking for a planner/day-of coordinator. I had heard of Exclusive Events by PG from some friends and relatives, so I decided to look into it. I am BEYOND happy that we decided to move forward with her. Patrice's reputation proceeds her so, it's not surprising that she was absolute perfection the night of our wedding and really did exceed our expectations.

    I truly cannot put into words how amazing she is. From the beginning of it all, she was super helpful, communicative, patient, responsive, and attentive. She had a very wide network of vendors and always gave great recommendations. We also went with her catering company for our buffet-style dinner, and just WOW! So many of the guests were talking about how great the food was.

    Being a COVID bride and having our wedding pushed back a whole year, I know how stressful and upsetting it is to have to move everything back and coordinate with all the vendors. Patrice was so kind and caring - anytime we ever had a question, needed some advice, comfort, or recommendations, she made herself available to us. This lady no matter where she is, what she is doing, if she is tired, WILL respond to you, and if you call her (if she's not in a middle of a wedding), she WILL pick up the phone.

    Fast forward a year later to our wedding, as we got closer, she contacted all of our vendors and kept us in the loop about everything. Whenever I was stressing out, I knew Patrice was there for me to calm my nerves, and on the day of the wedding, her guidance was unmatched. Our day couldn't have gone any smoother - she made sure that even when there were any problems, she resolved them without disrupting me and my husband. Everyone in our bridal party enjoyed her presence and thought she was super fun and cool. She kept me calm and collected on our wedding day. She has a very calming presence that makes you feel safe and at ease - very nurturing and caring. She is not only a vendor to me and my husband but she is a friend! Best investment we made for our wedding. We love you Poopak!!!

    The best wedding coordinator any couple could want!

    Our wedding journey started before the pandemic with a whirlwind of hopes and plans for what our wedding could be. We met several wedding planners soon after we realized how much is involved in planning a wedding, especially a Persian wedding, and everything that goes along with it. Once we met Patrice, we knew she would be great for the job.

    Well, that was an understatement. Patrice was extremely professional throughout every step of the way, she anticipated every potential issue and had contingency plans which were consistent with her extensive knowledge and experience.

    This was most evident when the pandemic started and the lockdown initiated just 5 months before our planned wedding. She guided us through both the logistics of multiple postponements and also the emotions that come with it, reassuring us constantly.

    Over a year after our originally planned wedding date, we finally had our COVID wedding. Our Persian wedding ceremony was arranged and coordinated masterfully by Patrice, and the ceremony table, sofreh aghd, designed and set by Patrice herself was stunning and beautiful!

    Our wedding day was magical and went incredibly smoothly and we are forever grateful to have had Patrice running the show from beginning to end.

    Best Decision We Made!

    I would like to start out by saying how my husband and I came about discovering Patrice. We got engaged in September 2020 and I had no idea where to even begin with the wedding planning process. So like any newbie, I thought that the first step was to start looking at venues. When I say that EVERY hotel in D.C. asked us if we were working with Patrice after we mentioned we were having a Persian wedding, I’m not exaggerating! After hearing her name from all the wedding coordinators in the hotels in D.C., we kept thinking “she must be really good if everyone knows about her and keeps talking about her.” I knew this was my sign to connect with her, and once I did, it ended up being the absolute BEST decision we made for our wedding.

    My husband and I truly loved working with Patrice and we were so heartbroken when it all came to an end after the wedding. She was so pleasant, helpful, and literally made time to talk to us at any point during the wedding planning process. I would, at times, feel overwhelmed and nervous during the planning process, but as soon as I would talk to Patrice, I immediately would feel at ease again. She really had a way with knowing how to calm my nerves whenever I felt like we were behind in finalizing a plan or securing a specific vendor. She also knew how to navigate around Covid and all the unknowns that came with it. Patrice is so knowledgeable and well-connected in the wedding industry, which is what allowed her to effortlessly walk us through every step of planning our dream wedding.

    From beginning to end, Patrice was there to ensure everything we had planned went smoothly and was executed flawlessly. Everyone in our bridal party along with our parents absolutely loved her and kept commenting on how awesome she was and how easy she made the day flow for everyone involved. Our wedding night was the most magical night of our lives and everything turned out so beautiful. As crazy as it sounds, she makes me want to plan another wedding again with her just so I can relive every moment! She will be your person and exactly what you need as a bride!

    Patrice to the rescue!

    Patrice swooped in to help as a “day of” planner, taking over for another planner mid-way through the planning process. I am so happy she was able to rescue us! Patrice is a unique combination of friendly, professional and savvy. She is super creative and has a broad network of vendors which helped us determine the right vendors at various price points, something that was very important for us. She would always think three steps ahead and always had helpful advice whether it was sorting logistics or navigating tricky etiquette and family dynamics. Her team was incredibly professional during the rehearsal and on the day of the wedding, keeping everyone on track and in their roles, calming nerves where needed and even carrying my train/dress so it wouldn’t drag through the mud when the courtyard got muddy due to rain (and where I had to walk down the aisle in stilettos). In short, we really enjoyed working with Patrice and would recommend her for large or small weddings, or events, without hesitation. A+++ person and planner!

    Planned my dream wedding!

    Patrice is an EXCELLENT wedding planner and specializes in Persian and Middle Eastern weddings. She understands all the customs and has impeccable taste. Patrice is very professional and responsive. She has a great rapport with vendors and venues around the DC area. She short listed vendors for us and made all the introductions which made the process much more efficient. She also held a vendor event that was a great way to meet a lot of vendors at once. The sofra she designed for us was absolutely gorgeous and exclusively events catering was beyond perfect, literally like homemade Persian cooking. Our wedding day went off without a single hitch. We were both able to relax and enjoy the day!

    Best in the business

    My biggest regret in wedding planning was not hiring Poopak Patrice Golesorkhi sooner in my planning process! If you are considering hiring someone, maybe just a day of coordinator… stop and just hire Poopak to do it all. She is the best and you deserve the best!

    I planned my wedding in Fall 2019, secured the venue, majority of my vendors… I had a general handle on things. But… then the pandemic hit! I moved our date three more times to March 2022. Each time, I had to coordinate all the rescheduling…by the last time I was hitting major planning fatigue and needed a full-time planner to take over. Moving it so many times, and all the uncertainty… my heart wasn’t in my wedding anymore.

    But then I met Poopak, after my entertainment (lights/sound/DJ) company Exclusively Entertainment recommended her. To be clear, Poopak’s reputation absolutely preceded her. A legend in the Persian Wedding business, I have seen many brides sing her praises. Immediately she set me at ease. She is incredibly disciplined and doesn’t want to ever stress out her brides. Before we were close to the wedding date, she would send me a few ‘tasks’ (usually questionnaires) and ease me into the things I had to do. Then two months before the wedding, when things started get real, she laid out the entire day of schedule, down to details that I would have never thought to consider.

    She spent the weeks leading up to my wedding coordinating with all my vendors, ensuring everyone was on the same page and that everyone’s needs were met. I was in AWE of her and I don’t know how I would’ve handled that work alone. Risk mitigation at its finest. Several of my other vendors personally told me how exceptionally sharp and on it Poopak was, thanking me for bringing her in! You know she’s good when other small business owners are grateful!

    The day of my wedding I barely saw Poopak. I want to say that nothing went wrong that day, but I know I’m wrong. But she shielded my groom and I from all of it! As far as we know, wedding went off without a hitch. I even remember at one point I was warm, and my friend went to tell her and she had already turned up the AC. She knew I was warm before I did!

    I can’t imagine how comforting this process would have been if I hired her right from the beginning, she’s been throwing weddings long before this pandemic and she’s thrown so many since that anything you’re worried about, she’s already seen it, solved it, and now knows how to avoid it.

    JUST A LEGEND. HIRE HER AND HER TEAM ASAP.

    Patrice is a lifesaver

    My fiance and I have had the pleasure of working with Patrice for over a year and a half now. I truly can not put into words how valuable she has been to our wedding planning process. To begin, Patrice has helped me plan my wedding day THREE times now (thanks covid!). During the unknown of postponing my original wedding date (twice) due to covid, Patrice helped make it the most seamless and unstressful process. Postponing a wedding may be one of the most stressful things a bride could go through but with Patrice's invaluable guidance and advice during this process I could not have asked for more. She coordinated with all my vendors and made sure to keep me in the loop the entire time. In a time where all my bride friends were panicking, I was able to relax knowing I had Patrice in my corner.
    Aside from covid curve balls, Patrice is extremely well connected and organized in all aspects of the planning process. Every one of my vendors were recommended by her and I could not be happier with my team of professionals. Patrice has always made herself available to me by text, call, or email and she always immediately answers any questions or concerns I have. The best investment I made for my wedding was 100% exclusively events by pg. Wish I could give her 100 stars!

    Perfection!

    Having PG as my day of coordinator and sofreh designer was hands down the best decision I could have made for my wedding this past November. She was always super responsive, very creative when I needed help, and extremely well-connected in the wedding industry. She ensured that everything ran flawlessly on the day of the wedding, and for that, I am forever grateful. Additionally, her sofreh design was STUNNING. She truly brought my vision to life, and one month later, I still receive compliments about how beautiful my sofreh was. PG is the wedding superhero that every bride needs!!!

    The Best in the Business Bar None!!!

    Patrice is hands down the best decision we made when it came to our wedding!! Our only regret in providing this review is that we can't give her 100 stars. From the beginning of our wedding planning process, Patrice was there to ensure everything was carried out perfectly. She helped us select the venue of our dreams, connected us with the best vendors in their fields, and provided us with expert advice, making herself immediately available whenever we needed it. Every single vendor we worked with sung her praises and treated us like VIPs as a result. And perhaps most notably, she was ESSENTIAL in helping us navigate the challenges of planning our multicultural (Iranian and Indian) wedding. We could not have pulled it off without her!

    The day of our wedding, Patrice and her colleague Katie made sure that every moment flowed seamlessly, providing us and our families with constant attention and care. Patrice is a consummate professional and the best in her field.
    If you're still searching for your wedding planner, look no further!

    Fantastic experience

    We had an amazing experience with Exclusively events. Having a wedding coordinator is a great decision for a bride and hiring Poopak was one of the best decisions I made to ensure my wedding day was seamless. Poopak is very organized and kept my husband and I on track. She is always accessible by text, phone or email, answers questions promptly and always goes above and beyond to address your concern or provide invaluable suggestions. On our wedding day Poopak and her team were amazing and their execution was flawless. We are beyond pleased with our experiences and highly recommend Exclusively Events and Poopak for your upcoming events.

    Best decision we made!

    Let me just start by saying that if it wasn't for Poopak/Patrice and her services for our wedding, I am 100% certain it would not have been the magical day/evening that it was. From the beginning, when you meet her, there is a wealth of knowledge and wisdom that really sets the tone for the entire experience. There was nothing short of the utmost professionalism, support, knowledge and kindness from Poopak/Patrice joon. She was an incredible asset to this entire process. The truly spectacular part of working with Poopak was her ability to bring to life all the things that were important to me for my aghd. That was a beautiful sofreh and her ability to make everything happen for us on our wedding day will be something that I will never forget. I'll be honest, on my wedding day, I was not stressed even for a second because I knew Poopak was there handling literally EVERYTHING. That in itself is priceless. Her work is priceless and her kindness is something I will never forget. Thank you Poopak joon!

    Beyond fabulous

    Where do I start!! From the day our friends recommended Poopak to weeks after our wedding Poopak was one person we looked to for any advice, be it an opinion or a hiccup. She was always courteous and very very understanding. She has immense experience and it shows (in her words not on her beautiful face). She also did a fantastic job with our sofreh, just look at the photos. Above all, Poopak had a very calming effect on me and my husband. It was like she had the solution to every problem of ours and ladies/ gents YOU NEED THAT! Our day went so smooth, people couldn't stop raving about how well it was conducted and planned. We can't thank you enough Poopak, You almost are a magician!

    Professional planner who knows her stuff!

    It was pleasure working with Poopak. I hired her as month of wedding coordinator. She was meticulous, hard working and very easy to work with. She gave me great advice months leading up to the event. The day of the wedding I did not have to worry about a thing. Everything was executed to perfection. Would strongly recommend hiring her. My wedding day was perfect and it wouldn't have been possible without her.

    EE is the best!

    We used Patrice at EE for our April 2019 wedding and she was fantastic! We had a Persian-American wedding of 240 people in DC and Patrice handled it all and was so professional! She has been doing this a long time and knew all of our vendors, which was so helpful. She was able to give us advice on vendors to use and so many other issues.

    Patrice all did our Persian sofreh and let me say, it was GORGEOUS!!! My family and friends were blown away by how beautiful and detailed it was. On our wedding day, Patrice and her assistants were super helpful and during the actual wedding, everything went off without a hitch! We really felt like didnt have anything to worry about during the whole thing.

    I would HIGHLY Recommend using EE!

    PG Saves the Day...and days leading up to the wedding

    There are no words to capture how grateful I am to have had PG working with us and by our side both while planning the wedding and on our special day. I first saw her in action at one of my cousin’s weddings, then another time at another cousin’s wedding. I saw and heard what an amazingly positive impact she had on both of those weddings. So, when we started planning the wedding about 3 months before the event, I knew PG would be instrumental in making our day special.
    As I’m sure everyone is aware (probably more than I was at the time) planning a wedding takes time, energy, and the ability to be adaptable in order to maintain sanity with hiccups that arise along the way. Luckily, we were working with the BEST, the one and only PG to plan out every detail. She is intelligent, practical, flexible, supportive, punctual, kind, professional, and really cares about her bride, groom, and the whole family. Those are just a few of the words that come to mind, but just about now I wish I was an author to be able to more eloquently describe all that she brings to the table.
    Just to provide a bit of background, I am Iranian and my (now) husband is half American and half Salvadorean. PG was able to relate to people of all ages and ethnic backgrounds, which is a major skill in my eyes. With very little time to plan, PG was very timely & effective in introducing us to various top-notch vendors to meet the needs of a 220+ person wedding ceremony/reception. Not only did she introduce us to the best, she also kept in mind the budget we had to work with and introduced us to various vendors with different price ranges to allow us to customize what worked best for us. This was a huge plus! She is very well respected as the professional she is by the community (photographers, makeup artists, videographers, other brides etc.)
    PG was also very kind to work with me on my Sofreh Aghd. I had this idea of making a good amount of the items myself, but was not sure how to arrange everything in an aesthetically pleasing way and knew I would not be able to set things up the day of. After mostly everything was ready, she took time to come by my house and work with me and my mom to set things up, as a sort of dry run. Another moment where I was amazed by her craft and talent! Undoubtedly, my Sofreh Aghd would have been much more beautiful and professional if I had also relied on her for her full extraordinary designs, but it meant so much that she was willing to work with me and help me achieve this using items that had some sort of extra significance to my then fiancé and I.
    To say the least, she kept me on track (as much as she possible could for someone with my procrastinating tendencies) to think about the things I had no idea I needed to think about in order to give her enough information to do what she does flawlessly. She put together a detailed timeline based on our wishes of how we envisioned the day going. She also coordinated with all of our vendors so we didn’t have to worry about any of that the day of.
    If you’re thinking you can do it all on your own or rely on a friend to do that, I strongly recommend against that. I know now how expensive each component of planning a wedding can be, but this is one expense that I am ecstatic that I did not forego. Instead of dumping the coordination and everything that requires attendance on my mom/bridesmaids, PG was able to work with them to fill in the gaps since I was stuck to a chair getting hair and makeup done for what felt like ‘all day’.
    There is no way I can fully capture everything she did in this review. Not only because there are too many to list, but also because I’m quite sure many additional things came up that I didn’t even anticipate that she dealt with so effectively on the fly. It would not do her and her efforts justice if I tried to provide a list of things she did so that our day could be filled with joy.
    I will also just share one story about her assistant Asli. She was so incredibly kind and resourceful. At some point, the button fell off of my purse and I don’t even remember mentioning it, but she noticed and started sewing it back one. This is the level of thoughtfulness and care you get from PG & her team. I really don’t know what the day would have looked like without working with her in advance and knowing I could rely on her for day-of activities. My family and I truly do not have enough words of gratitude for PG & Asli, but we consider ourselves very lucky to work with them!

    Perfect!!!

    Patrice a lifesaver! My husband is Persian, and we wanted a traditional Persian Ceremony which I knew nothing about. Patrice is a pro at Persian ceremonies and took care of all of the details and the beautiful Sofreh.

    Besides being an expert with Persian Ceremonies, she's truly a professional and made sure every detail of my wedding was planned and handled well. She has great relationships with the top vendors in DC which makes things much easier, all of my vendors were excited to know that I Patrice was my wedding planner.

    We planned our wedding in 5 months :) so ... that alone should give you some insight on how great and organized Patrice is because not everyone can pull that off. She was helpful, attentive and responsive whenever I needed her. There were no problems - as far as I know, on my actual wedding day, she took care of everything, and I was to relax and enjoy the beautiful day.
