There were chairs on the front of the yacht to sit in, and an upper level to sit. Captain Augustine and first mate Josh were super nice and informative. Nice music was played when the Captain wasn't talking. The only thing I can think of that might need to be describe a little better is where the meeting place is to begin the trip. Overall, I wish I could give them more than just five stars!

In true pandemic fashion, we had a micro-wedding in 2022. I consider myself to be very organized…read moreand at first, I thought we could skip hiring a coordinator since I only had 28 guests to keep track of..... don't be me, or change your mind like I did and hire Lindsay already! Here is why Lindsay is worth e.v.e.r.y. penny: From the moment I picked up the phone for our consult, Lindsay was on my team. Her warm demeanor instantly makes you feel like you're talking to an old friend or family member. She is organized, professional, and experienced: she knows the ins and outs of the industry and maintains good working relationships with local vendors. Her services range from month-of-coordination to full service wedding/event planning, so she truly can meet every couple's needs. She listens to your vision and gives helpful suggestions along the way that still allows you to feel like your event is a personal one instead of "cookie-cutter" or what the vendor wants.... Something that sets Lindsay apart from other vendors is how she keeps an open line of communication to all of her clients, even if you've booked her for month-of-coordination like I did. Despite being incredibly busy, Lindsay was always willing to answer any of my questions promptly throughout my planning process. She also recommended some truly amazing vendors that we cannot imagine having our wedding without in hindsight. Hiring Lindsay was best decision I made in our 15 months of planning because it wouldn't have all been possible without her. Despite all my efforts planning each individual part of my wedding and hiring my own vendors independently, none of it would have come together cohesively on the day of if Lindsay hadn't been there (since there are always last minute things that don't go EXACTLY as you planned them, like the weather in our case). Lindsay gracefully ensured my other vendors stuck to their timelines and stayed out of each others' way and also helped us pivot our ceremony to indoors at the last minute when the weather took a turn for the worse. There is nothing that can go wrong on your day when you have Lindsay there behind the scenes to create that perfect day of your dreams. Thank you so much, Lindsay, for being part of our best day!!!

Little did we know that our dreams would be exceeded beyond measure, all thanks to the exceptional talents of Lindsay at cloud nine events! Working with Lindsay was an absolute delight from start to finish. From our very first conversation, her passion for creating unforgettable weddings was palpable. One of the standout qualities of Lindsay was her impeccable attention to detail. She brought our vision to life and truly listened to everything we had wished for and more. Our guests were in awe as they entered the venue, greeted by an ambiance that blended sophistication and warmth in perfect harmony. They still can't stop talking about how wonderful everything was! But beyond her undeniable talent, what truly sets Lindsay apart is her dedication to making dreams come true. She effortlessly handled every challenge that arose, turning potential hurdles into stepping stones of creativity. Her reassuring presence not only put us at ease but also instilled a sense of confidence that everything was under control. Communication with Lindsay was also seamless and transparent, which greatly alleviated the usual wedding-planning stress. She kept us well-informed throughout the entire process, providing regular updates and offering innovative suggestions that elevated the overall experience. Her professionalism and responsiveness were truly commendable. On the day of our wedding, we were blown away. The coordination, the timing, and the flawless execution of each moment were awe-inspiring. We were free to savor every moment, knowing that Lindsay had orchestrated the best day of our lives. I never once was stressed and as a bride that was such an amazing gift alone. Our wedding turned out to be more magical than we could have ever imagined. It was a true reflection of our love story, a seamless blend of our personalities, interests, and aspirations. Lindsay had transformed our dreams into reality with an artistry that can only be described as pure magic. In the end, our wedding wasn't just an event; it was an experience that our guests will cherish for years to come. And for my husband and myself, it was the beginning of a beautiful journey, made even more special by the dedication of Lindsay. If you're seeking a wedding planner who goes above and beyond to create a celebration that captures the essence of your love, look no further than Lindsay. Her expertise, passion, and unwavering commitment make her an unparalleled choice for turning wedding dreams into the most exquisite reality. You won't be disappointed!

Hailey was amazing! She assisted our daughter through every step of the process with patience, a…read moresmile and kindness. Slime is currently our daughter's thing so I knew we had to visit on this trip before departing. Located in a shopping center, there were plenty of parking options. It is located next door to the popular coffee house bookstore. When you enter, it can be a bit overwhelming. The interior is spacious and deep. To the left is a window seat next to hanging aprons which begin the detailed step by step process. This process is displayed and explained on the wall by each station (step). To the right (of entering) is the cash register followed by mixing stations on the same counter. The middle of Slime Kitchen has white tables with matching chairs for little ones to sit. A part of the table top, on one side of the table, is removed to place their basket to develop and massage their slime in. The table is revisited after each station to continue to develop the slime and extend the slime making experience. Options to build and develop the slime included slime texture (fluffy, slimy, cloud...), color or colors to make your slime, and scent or scents to incorporate. At this point, our daughter was directed to a mixing bowl to incorporate her slime selection, color (blue) and scent (pop rocks) into one by using a mixing bowl to do so. Our daughter got to personally add the amount of color and scent she desired with direction of Hailey (based on the outcome our daughter desired). From there, our daughter was given a bucket and a part of the table top was removed for her to play in the slime - ultimately to incorporate everything more. Following each time with her slime, she let Hailey know when she ready to move on (if Hailey had not already checked in with her). Following each selection from the next station, she returned to her table to incorporate the added step and play in her slime more. In the end, her slime was placed into a Slime Kitchen plastic container with screw on lid. There was one group of children ahead of us and a child who followed a little while behind us. Staff, there were two young ladies, were great at accommodating each child without periods of delayed absences. In the end, our daughter was extremely happy with the slime she created, with Hailey adding a little extra glitter to make it that much more beautiful and appealing to our daughter. On the wall, there are take and make kits along with premade slime. To choose this option eliminated the point and the experience of visiting Slime Kitchen. The prices are reasonable to build your own. I included our receipt in the photos of this review, I think $25. We would definitely return again if she asked. Our daughter had an exceptional time and experience. Thank Hailey for adding to that experience! She is such a sweetheart, truly

We recently worked with Tawni and her team at Pomegranate Occasions for our wedding in South Lake…read moreTahoe. We knew we were in good hands starting from the earliest planning stages! There is a great online tool they use to track planning progress and milestones, which made it easy to track our to-dos and budget. Tawni also set up regular Zoom meetings to chat about ideas and vendors. From the moment we arrived at our wedding day venue, Tawni made sure our group knew what the plan was and how the day would progress. The setup of the venue looked amazing, and exceeded our expectations. She checked in with us periodically throughout the night to make sure we stuck to the timeline. The day felt like a blur at times, and with so many family and friends to talk to and celebrate with, it's easy to see how the schedule could get off track, but Tawni stayed on top of everything to make sure we stuck to the plan.

We met with her almost monthly and she was so supportive of all my ideas. I told her last minute details I wanted to throw in, I'm talking LAST MINUTE like rehearsal lol, and she is like "yup. Okay. Done!" I was freaking out the whole month before my wedding about the weather. She was so calming and (she was right by the way) that I didn't need to worry and we would figure it out. THEN!!!! The wedding day!!! Oh my gosh. I don't even know how she did it. Set up our sweets table, and all the guests tables and chairs and our gifts table and just everything! It was soooooo gorgeous and us!!! All of our vendors knew her and she had it set up so nobody was questioning us they just went straight to her. Karie is amazing- hands down.
