We worked with Amazae from the moment we knew we wanted to get married (before we got engaged,…read moretechnically. Ha). Both of us are extremely busy re: our jobs and knew that we wouldn't be able to dedicate enough time to truly planning an event of this scale. If you're on the fence, go with Amazae. My husband, before we hired Amazae, was on the fence of whether or not we needed planning services. I told him that if we did not hire someone that there would be no wedding. By the time we had finished our venue search, he knew that I was totally right re: the amount of help you get by leveraging someone else's expertise. You do this once (hopefully) in your life. Amazae does this all the time. Amazae knew all the ins and outs of every venue that we could possibly think of in the Bay Area, Carmel, and Napa. They were able to tell us who was beer and wine only, who had a 10pm end time because of noise ordinances, and who required you to use certain caterers that were $x per head. This will save you SO much time and save you visits to random places that don't meet your requirements. Vendor sourcing - they are super good at this re: figuring out (or making you figure out what you like) who matches your style for every vendor, then finding one that fits in your budget. Most importantly, they will make sure everyone shows up (join any wedding FB group and read some horror stories). They will help you with all of the contracting and the collection of COIs, etc. Again, this would have been IMPOSSIBLE for myself and my now husband. We literally do not have the hours in the day to do this. This team is on top of everything - they will chase you down if they need to for answers for pieces of your event. They can make anything happen - from the weirdest requests to the most mundane. They are so professional, and they really make your wedding super personal. Amazae designed and executed a beautiful event from beginning to end that felt so authentic to us. Day of, they were there to take care of everything, and it was truly a flawless day. We could not asked for a better planner re: Crystal, Kaila, and the rest of the team. We put full trust in them re: the design of this event and the day of. Example: I honestly did not know what florals were going to be there, but they were so stunning. The strength of the Amazae team is in their ability to bring you and your personality into an event that is mostly structured a certain way. They also make your day as stress-free as possible. I cannot say enough positive things about this team and their ability to make your wedding great. If you're down to hand things off to someone else, I would say hand it off to them. It will be better than what you could have come up with yourself.

Planning a wedding during a pandemic is hard, even a micro-wedding. You don't want to be cake…read moretasting or menu tasting, so you rely on experts. That's why we decided to hire an event planner for our daughter's wedding in January 2021. Even though it was a small backyard wedding, we wanted it to be memorable and elegant. We interviewed 3 different event planners, and got 3 rough quotes, all around the same ballpark. Amazae's quote, however, was the most detailed, breaking down a high & low range for each item (food, florals, rentals, photography, etc.) It was an easy choice to contract with them. Crystal came onsite for our first meeting, and I really didn't have a lot for her to go on. My daughter isn't the Pinterest type, so I just told Crystal the wedding colors and showed her pictures of the wedding gown and bridesmaid gowns. The rest of the planning was all done via zoom, emails, and a few phone calls. We worked mostly with Caitlin, who is an amazing planner. Each step along the way, she gave us several options to choose from. For example, she provided a list of 4 photographers, their quote for the day, their profile, their gallery, etc. Once all of our choices were made, she put together a design deck that gave us a preview of the entire wedding. It was more gorgeous than I envisioned. On the day of the wedding, Lisa came out to set everything up. She even picked up the florals and wedding cake to save us the delivery fees. It was a little hectic when I met her, and I probably spent 5 minutes with her showing her where everything was before we left for the church ceremony. And when we came back, she was driving off, leaving behind a magical transformation of yard. Everyone was stunned. The catering crew then took over and prepared a "Top Chef" level meal. And when they left, my kitchen was as clean as when they arrived. My husband commented, "Whatever we paid for this wedding, it was worth every penny." Haha. True. NOTE: the photos on this review are from my phone. The professional photos are not available yet.

They have an extensive collection of unique linens and Nance is great at helping you put together the most amazing table settings. She is so talented at what she does. In fact that's how I started using them. It was the striking table setting that Nance had put together for a tradeshow and it immediately got my attention.

So many parents came up to me asking for his contact after the party! I would recommend him with my eyes closed -- truly. 1000% worth it. I only wish I had more parties just so I could hire him again! Thank you for making Noah's birthday so special and unforgettable!

Xpressjumper lets you reserve online. Most places requires you to call. I just text the day before event to confirm. Website was easy to navigate. You pay when they setup. Cash, check, or credit card excepted, extra fees for using a credit card. Xpressjumper does not carry a huge selection of bouncing house compare to other places which was fine. I recommend the 15x15, plenty of of space for 10-12 kids and adults. I definitely recommend Xpressjumper for your next event. Thanks to Yelper Holly V. for 10% coupon code, XP10OFF.

Do not come here! I like to support small business but…read moreRonaldo was so rude, I had to leave and go to Safeway on San Carlos for better service, and was more affordable! I had a horrible experience, kind of lengthy, but I want to warn others before coming. Ronaldo's dog got out of his area and was barking at me within 1 ft. I was honestly very scared the dog was going to bite me! I had to turn around to calm myself and wait for Ronaldo to remove his dog. Ronaldo was not even apologetic about it, as if it never happened or no big deal! After Ronaldo put his dog away, I continued to look for balloons. I asked if he had more white balloons, he said no. There was only two white balloons and one looked ugly, all stretched out. No big deal, I just chose different colors. When I brought him the balloons that I wanted, he said I can get the two white balloons that they are still good. I told him that I was fine, I chose different colors. Ronaldo continued to say that the white balloons are still good, as if he wanted to argue. I didn't understand why he didn't just let it go, I just said that I didn't like them and I didn't want them. He rolled his eyes, then asked me if I wanted the balloons for tomorrow. I was so confused! I told him that I wanted the balloons for right now. Ronaldo looked frustrated and repeated the same question. I again did not understand why someone would ask me if I want the balloons for tomorrow. So I even said, "what do you mean? I want the balloons for now". Ronaldo said under his breath "oh my god", as if I was dumb and didn't understand. Damn right I didn't understand why someone would ask me if I want the balloons for tomorrow when I said multiple times that I want the balloons for now. So, I stopped him before he continued, and said, "you know what, you can stop, your service has been bad this entire time" and I left to Safeway and got better service by a lady who has joyful! The thing is, I didn't have to stay after the dog incident! I was patient enough even after being scared and Ronaldo did not apologize for his dog's behavior. Yet, I still stayed to support local and small business, and I was in a little rush to get to my mother's celebration. Customer's should not have to endure stressful environments when shopping or be attacked by dogs! I would not recommend anyone to come here and go else where!
