Have you heard of Marigold Design House? If you’re planning a wedding, Marigold Design House is a name you should know to avoid. Marigold is co-owned by Aeisha Bhatti, one of the owners of Royal India (now Dastoor Indian Eatery), a restaurant that the Seattle Times revealed to be the largest wage theft in Washington State, and it is not exempt from her similar immoral and corrupt business practices. Seattle Solidarity has received multiple tips from customers and industry colleagues about her shady behavior at MDH, and some of the numbers are staggering.

• In 2023 we spoke with a victim that Marigold Design House hustled out of $50,000. MDH was paid in full and two weeks before the wedding they refused to either deliver services or refund the money.
• One former client, quoted close to $100,000, described being treated with extreme disregard, unprofessionalism, and a failure to deliver on even basic planning responsibilities. Their full account is available on Reddit.
• In 2019 the Seattle Models Guild sued Marigold Design House for almost $10,000 after refusing to pay 12 models for their time. Source [search case number 19-2-00483-5]
• One Yelp user reports Marigold Design House delivered none of what was promised—ignored their input, charged over $150K beyond their agreed budget without transparency or accountability, and ultimately ruined their reception with unapproved designs and outrageous hidden fees. Source
• Another Yelp user says Marigold Design House misled them with false promises, charged exorbitantly for minimal service, ignored their budget, and threatened legal action when the client sought a refund. Source

Just search Marigold Design House and we’re confident you’ll come to the same conclusion we have: Marigold Design House is tainted by the same corruption, abuse and exploitation as Aeisha Bhatti’s other business, Royal India AKA Dastoor.
