Testimonials
Kavya Gorukanti
We hired her and the Mango Soup team for my friend's surprise baby shower. It was the best decision we made. They were very easy to work with and always available to answer questions and troubleshoot when needed. The event turned out incredible and we loved their decorations. They are very detail oriented which I loved. All the guests were impressed with the decorations. Would highly recommend this company for any event!
Peter Maa
She and the whole team were fantastic in planning our baby shower. My wife can be particular and she was very pleased with the event. The bakery made a mistake with the color of the cake the day before the event and She stayed up all night fixing it to our satisfaction. Would highly recommend!
Fam F.
If you're looking for a talented, creative, and professional event planner, MangoSoup is the right company. I hired MangoSoup to plan my baby shower and could not have been more satisfied with the results. The owner always responded promptly to requests and inquiries. The space was beautifully decorated and all of my guests were in awe. Last but not least, she had a great personality and was very professional.
Veerpal D.
Talk about attention to detail! She is amazing. She went above and beyond for our recent baby shower. She worked tirelessly and did lot of research to make our day beautiful and amazing. During consultation, every little detail was covered from linens to favors etc. She was easy to work with, stays within your budget and offers such amazing ideas. You cannot go wrong with Mangosoup!
Jo M.
We hired MangoSoup for our son's high school graduation/college trunk party and we could not have been more happy with the result. The company owner, was very hands on, detail oriented and very creative. She provided on going guidance and came up with creative ideas that we would never have thought of on our own. She was always going the extra mile to make sure we were happy and our vision was being brought to fruition. She was always available to answer any of our sometimes annoying questions and provided guidance when we needed it. She even provided us with a step by step guide to help us prepare for the party. Hiring MangoSoup allowed us to relax and enjoy our son's celebration since they took great care of the details for the party. We will definitely be hiring MangoSoup for our future parties. I highly recommend this company. Ask for the owner. She was awesome to work with.
Joy A.
What's there not to love about this company. The owner is the most detailed orientated person I have ever worked with. Your happiness is her only focus and goal, there was not one detail she missed. She mixes your ideas and wants with hers and comes up with the perfect experience. She did not miss a thing....
Nelle F.
So glad I chose them. I can tell they pay attention to detail very well. Details are a big deal for me and everything was perfect! Also I like that they responded quickly to my questions and concerns which is another BIG deal for me especially when I'm planning an event. I have dealt with so many unprofessional businesses and this one was the professionalism I was needing. They made things so much smoother during a stressful time. I will definitely be using them again.
