OUR STORY
Friends and family would often ask Mahsa to help with the design + décor of their weddings or parties. She always happily obliged and often times, she was more excited about the design aspect than the people whose wedding it was! It was at one such wedding, that a family friend asked her to help create their Sofreh Aghd (Persian Wedding Spread). In 2008, with another successful and joyous event completed, Mahsa felt a strong desire to be a part of creating someone’s special day on a more regular basis. That is how “Sofreh Atelier” came to be. Since then, we at Sofreh Atelier have built a strong team of talented professionals and our work has been recognized as one with sophisticated taste and an upscale approach. We have had the pleasure of working in the area’s top venues.
“These ladies were an absolute pleasure to work with! They were willing to come all the way to New York to design our Sofreh. They were immediately responsive to any of our questions or concerns and catered to any last minute changes. They were positive, supportive, and relayed a sense of confidence that made us comfortable in dealing with the stress of planning a wedding without ever having met them in person until the day before the wedding day! The sofreh was beautiful and unique, and was everything we asked for, and more!”
“Thank you very much for the beautiful sofreh that you prepared for our aghd ceremony. The sofreh was breathtaking- every detail was truly perfect! In addition to your fine work, we genuinely appreciated your time, creativity, attention to detail, and level of commitment throughout our wedding planning process. It was a true pleasure to work with you both and I would highly recommend Sofreh Atelier to any of my friends or family members.”
“Mahsa is so amazing to work with when creating your beautiful sofreh vision! She is personable, patient, detail-oriented, artistic, open-minded, talented and tailors the Sofreh to your tastes and desires. My husband and I absolutely loved our unique and gorgeous Sofreh and so did all of our guests! I promise you will not be disappointed choosing Mahsa as your Sofreh vendor.”
“I’m so thankful I found Sofreh Atelier! They were very professional and took the time to go over different ideas, fabrics, colors, etc for my wedding sofreh. They found the perfect blend of classic and contemporary and I couldn’t be happier with the result. I received so many compliments! I highly recommend Sofreh Atelier! Thank you!”
“I wanted to thank you for doing a wonderful job on our “sofreh aghd”. It was the most beautiful sofreh I’ve ever seen. We received many compliments on the sofreh and of course, the credit is all yours. Thanks again. ”
“Sofreh Atelier did a fabulous job of arranging our Sofreh. They complemented their unique taste with traditional touches which made for a beautiful Sofreh that stood out as one of the most memorable features of our wedding. They were a pleasure to work with and were flexible and friendly and made sure we were involved. Their arrangements and choice of colors really made for a unique Sofreh, which had the right balance of class and liveliness! They are highly recommended and we’d be happy to be a reference to anyone considering their services.”
