Tale of Two

Expensive and terrible service. Given no choice by our venue but to use Tale of Two we were open minded. After months of my sister in law chasing for costs and information, I stepped in only to find a very defensive and borderline rude staff. Costs were astronomical and the finished product does not meet the standard of the proposal images. We were charged a lot of money for Pampas grass but I don't recall seeing a single piece of pampas grass. The marble effect background was a very cheap plastic stretch which looked like coffee stains. Staff were completely non existent at the event. In fact we have never met a single member of their staff in person. Yet they had the gall to be more expensive than the venue itself. The best thing we did was remove items from their package. Despite the extra time and inconvenience caused to us at least the items we handled ourselves were what we wanted and what we had asked for. The Accord should consider branching out to more weddings planners as this monopoly has allowed Tale of Two to become lazy and complacent.

It is my privilege to share this testimony for the decorations and arrangements made for my daughter’s wedding by Tale of Two (ToT). We first came to know about ToT through Accord Metropolitan, the wedding reception venue. Initially, my wife and I considered engaging another vendor for other venue, as we were unsure of their capabilities. There was some hesitation at first due to doubts and limited responses. However, once Mr. Abraham was assigned to our event, everything changed. He was consistently one step ahead, and at times it felt as though he was reading our minds. Through a series of meetings, we were able to detail our requirements. For the first day’s ceremony, we requested a Tamil cultural theme. Mr. Abraham conceptualized a stage backdrop inspired by the Thinnai (veranda) model, and enriched the experience with Tamil folk dancers, musicians, and a vibrant marketplace featuring earrings, bangles, a mehndi stylist, and turban artists. The groom’s team, hail from Germany, along with our family and friends, were completely immersed in the atmosphere. The Thinnai model stage was truly mesmerizing, far exceeding the initial design shared with us. The decorations and venue were completed in time, and full credit goes to Mr. Abraham for his dedication. The second venue was Accord Metropolitan, T. Nagar. We provided the backdrop color and reception theme, which Mr. Abraham translated into a digital model for our review. The stage, its decorations, the aisle walkway, fog effects, and petal showers were all splendid. The outcome was scintillating, with floral arrangements executed with precision and beauty beyond our expectations. Many guests inquired about the decorators and were eager to learn more about the process, especially praising Mr. Abraham for his cordial and explanatory approach during both the preparation and the event. Unlike most decorators who leave once the setup is complete, Mr. Abraham remained present throughout the event, ensuring everything was perfect. To summarize, the final outcome delighted guests of all ages with its aesthetic appeal, elegance, and texture. A heartfelt thanks to the ToT team and especially to Mr. Abraham, who poured his heart and soul into the decorations. After the celebration, I invited the team to share a few words, and each member humbly emphasized that this success was the result of true teamwork. I extend my sincere gratitude and appreciation to Tale of Two for their splendid decorations and arrangements. Hats off to ToT for having such a wonderful team that continues to bring laurels. I have already shared this experience with my near and dear ones and will continue to do so. Jerome and Chitra

I wanted to extend my heartfelt thanks for the incredible job you did decorating for our event. We are not chennai based so I was little skeptical about how the decor would turn out.But Mr.Akbar took care of every little detail and really brought our vision to reality..The decorations were absolutely stunning and perfectly aligned with what we had hoped for. From the amazing backdrop to the elegant props and cute table settings, everything exceeded our expectations. Your professionalism and dedication was evident in every aspect of your work, and our guests were thoroughly impressed. Thank you for making our event so special and memorable. We couldn't have asked for a better decorator, and we look forward to working with you again in the future. Regards Meenakshi Ramanathan & Manickkam.

Highly disappointed We had our traditional Hindu wedding at Accord metropoliton t nagar chennai on Feb 2nd morning . the decor was done by tale of two . We were particular that we wanted Accord to be our venue for the great ambience and food . And tale of two was the only decor who had the tie up with Accord . Since it was the one and only suggested by Accord we trusted it would be at par with their standards . But we were totally disappointed with the way the team handled us and the decor in itself We were appointed Ms payal aftr the initial conversation with Ms priya . We customized our decor for around 1 and half hr aftr a in person conversation with payal and her team right from backdrop arch decor floral hangings. But we hardly got 50 percent of wat was promised . I can list a few 1.we wanted only jasmine and red roses for the decor. And Ms payal quoted a best price as per their standards and we accepted for the same with no negotiation as she said anything less than that she cannot do for Jasmine . But on the day our decor had all sorts of other white flowers . Only half was jasmine 2. We were promised that we would get the manai and Homa kundam as a part of package but aftr a few days she said it had been given to another customer and we would have to pay extra and we had to argue with payal for the same 3. We were promised that the direction of stage would b east facing but on the previous day evening when we went the stage was in a totally different direction . And we had to literally fight with the people there to change the direction as it was imp for the rituals 4. Ms payal and team promised that they would b at the venue to over see the decor but they were not only totally absent but we couldn't reach them also over call or msg for the stage direction 5. We were promised a uruli and flower kolam below our name boards near entrance which was totally missing 6. We askd for floral hangings for 2 to 3 feet from backdrop. But it was much less and the density of the floral hangings were much lesser 7. We askd for a 2 seater at a extra cost . Payal promised the same . But it never came up. We had to use a sofa from Accord for the same at the last minute . 8. We askd from a golden checker pattern and floral hangings in 2 lines inside checker as per picture for the 3 panel stage . But we only got a white checker with single floral hanging which totally ruined the idea of our colour and richness for stage . The list goes on and on . Is this the type of service we get for paying around 1.5 lakhs. ?? We raised the issue with Ms priya Anand. But all we got was apologies . But our big day is spoiled right . ?and Noone from the team cares. All thru the wedding preparation this was the only team with whom I had a very bitter experience..Payal doesn't care at all and she was totally cold and unhelpful right from the beginning .and there was Noone to even turn to before the day of the event to raise queries . We had a tough time with Payal right from the start and atleast if the results were good we would have forgotten the whole unpleasant experience. I am attaching pictures of what was promised and what was delivered. The yellow colored and highlighted ones were promised and the rest are wat was delivered But pls people think twice before booking them.even after spending hours and customizing each and everything we did not get even half of wat we wanted . They totally ruined the decor on our big day .am writing this review because no one really bothered even after we expressed our disappointment after the event .and I hope Noone experiences the same again
