When I was opening a new cocktail lounge in San Diego, I needed the kind of entertainment that was…read moreincredibly hard to come by - and I needed it to be affordable, frequent, and reliable. Doing a little research (okay, a lot) lead me to contact Nathan Medina of Vario Productions, and so began the amazing month of live entertainment at my venue. And when I say entertainment, what I mean is, sword swallowers, contortionists, snake charmers, and jugglers. Nathan was super responsive - sometimes even getting back to me well-past midnight and super helpful in keeping talent in-times and shows straight. Everyone showed up on time and knew exactly what they were supposed to do. It was an absolute pleasure working with him and the Vario team and we look forward to a continued relationship with them in the future for all of our entertainment needs.

We needed high-quality A/V and we definitely got that here. The best thing I can say about using Voice & Video is that nothing eventful happened. I submitted my request, we exchanged a couple of emails and I paid a 50% deposit for what was needed. Fast forward to event night and the person was already there setting up. I let him know what the night was going to look like, and everything was ideal: the audio and video were both exactly what you'd hope for, for our presentation. If you are in need of AV equipment in San Diego, reach out to these guys and immediately relieve yourself of the stress of having to think about AV again.

Daniel ran our annual fundraiser at Kona Kai resort flawlessly. He was a joy to work with before and during the event. Both the live band and DJ found him knowledgeable and easy to work with. Daniel provided speakers, 2 projectors, 2 screens, and lighting. He operated our auction slides and other presentation material without problems. We were going to use Kona Kai's Audio visual team but they were hard to get ahold of and never gave clear prices (which worried me). Our event raised over $130,000 and it was with the wonderful help of AV Bliss. We would definitely use him for future events and I would use him for personal ones as well. He would be great for weddings and big celebrations.

I have changed my rating from one star to a five star after having heard from the business. Full…read moreapologies and full refund. "Good Morning Antonia, Just wanted to apologize for the frustration this morning with your heater order, the last thing we want to do is be a headache with event rentals - I will briefly explain a couple of things while we refund your order. It's true that we do have a 100% cancellation policy in place for same-day orders, many places do, and that's simply because many of these are resource-heavy and yet we enjoy fulfilling last-minute needs where needed. Even though it takes a large number of resources and overhead to implement, we know offering same-day services are crucial to events at times. We stop warehouse production in any department necessary, we recall a driver to come gather the new order, and we re-route them back on the road, hopefully balancing other orders already on the schedule.....all in an effort accomodate events in this great city. Secondarily, and more importantly - this cancellation policy will be immediately looked at internally because we should have some flexibility with it. Preparing a rush order for heaters does not consume the same resources as preparing a new order for tents, tables, linen, or cooking equipment - I understand that, and Dorca was simply doing what is asked of her. But this situation brings a good point to mind - when/how/where should we implement some flexibility and can we communicate it better. We will learn. Antonia, Raphaels has been in business in San Diego since 1980, always locally owned, I have been here myself for 16 years now, so we have absolutely NO intention of providing a disservice to our community, we are not interested in nickel and diming our clients, we understand events are a luxury to have and we enjoy being the backbone of many around town. Our intention is not to squeeze every last dime out of anyone - it's simply to be the best partner in town. Please accept my apology for the lack of flexibility with today's order and cancellation policy. I understand we have thoroughly frustrated you, yelp reviews, etc and if there is any way we can come to an agreement, or if you would accept my apology. I would welcome that. If there is anything you need in the future, email me directly and we'll make the next experience a great one, I promise.
