We had a complex approach to the music production and event choreography and she worked every step of the way to help make sure it turned out the way we wanted it to. She was great with negotiating and coordinating with vendors (both candidate vendors and chosen vendors). She worked hard on really thoughtful, thorough design mood boards that showed she'd paid attention to our theme ideas, so Jonathan and I could make good decisions. On the day of the event, she was like a drill sergeant getting things on-point, on time! She treated us as friends, and we are very glad to have trusted her with our big day. We are happy to recommend her to anyone planning a memorable wedding or other event.

Unfortunately, my son's party had to get postponed because we all got Covid. Gagan was so understanding and empathetic and made it easy to reschedule to another date.

The end result was stunning, grand, and elegant. Clean up was so quick and easy. We are so happy we chose LP Party!

She worked with us close to a month before the event to plan this and specially gave us options for vendors based on our needs. She came in early with her assistant to get the floor for the baby shark theme ready and help us setup the tables, and contact the vendors and talk to them for the event coordination. We had the food vendor, puppet show host and the balloon guy and with Renee around it was so nice and relaxing as we didn't have to worry on those and spend great time with our kids and the guests. Highly recommended!

Before booking this venue,i checked out 3 others & NONE compared to Lili's Sweet Memories. It's bigger than what you really plan for,so its huuuge for one. The family who owns this venue is super understanding, extremely cooperative, & very friendly. Here, not only will you get your needs & expectations met but also they'll go above & beyond after that. For my event, on top of the security that I hired, they had their own security working my event very last minute on the day of which was very helpful & appreciative, they pulled out extra tables & chairs w/o the extra charge, provided a bartender to give out free drinks. It was just such an incredible night & it went sooo smoothly. If you're having trouble finding a venue to book for any type of event at a reasonable price to pay, GO HERE TO LILI'S SWEET MEMORIES!!! Best ive ever worked with & definitely will be coming back to create more events & memories here. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

This place was the worst place I have ever attended the people in charge did not have enough food…read morefor everybody, we had told them we needed food for 120 people we needed seating for 120 people but we only got 10 tables which left 20 people out of seats. people are coming in to sit and eat but there wasn't enough seats or food, the bathrooms were filthy there was not enough toilet paper the floors were dirty and the toilets were filthy no one mopped or cleaned that place before we got there I will never use them again when we asked the lady in charge for more seating she looked at us like we were crazy and said that she couldn't do that because of the security or the safety of others which I did not understand so if you're planning on using this place you need to be careful she gets no stars from us. My guests were ordering pizzas so they could feed their kids I was so embarrassed my guests wouldn't let us pay for the pizzas but still I will never use them. I have pictures of the bathroom. I'm only doing one star so I'm able to post this. By the way I'm not that used you I was one of the guest.

After we ate at another local place (that people seem to like around here), my kids have told me they only want to go to Elma's. They told me they feel sick after eating at these other places. I've decided it is totally worth the drive because Elma's place is SOLID, delicious, and fresh! Big props to them for consistently doing it right. I cannot wait to try more items like the chili relleno.

After going to mass today my mom was craving churros, fresh churros, not the hard frozen kind that…read morevendors have sitting behind a glass enclosure then reheat and serve. Yuck! Frozen churros should be arrested for false impersonation. I was going to stop by Cardenas Markets to get Tres Estrellas Churro mix which is like bisquick for churros and make some at home. I highly recommend this mix and it even comes with a piping bag but you should have some experience of making choux pastry dough since the directions (for me anyways) have always been wrong. However, since I'm planning on baking lots of cookies tomorrow I decided to jump on Yelp to find a nearby churro vendor. We could've gone down to Our Lady of Guadalupe Church or Christmas in the Park where there is one good churro stand down by Quetzalcoatl. Again, the other stands have those fake frozen impersonators but since I didn't want to search for parking I decided to go with the Yelp recommendation of Churros El Guero in front of Fresco Market next to Eastridge. This is also a very busy spot but we were able to score a parking spot right away. Unfortunately, the churro guy had just arrived and his oil was still heating up so we were patiently people watching. This is when we noticed lots of people going over to this haphazard outdoor dining spot. This was not the ideal spot to visit since the weather forecast has been falsely taunting us with rain all day. Since it was now noon we decided it was best to eat real food before munching on something sweet. I had never been to Elma's Taqueria which is connected to Fresco Market probably because I don't like that market. I went in once when they first opened and it stunk. Literally and figuratively. Nope, I'll pass. The line for Elma's was impressive so we strolled up to the outdoor window and looked up at the menu. It's basically Birria everything. Birria de Res (beef) and Birria de Chivo (goat) in a bowl, tacos, quesadilla, quesabirrias, etc...and daily specials including Menudo today. Since it was packed we shared a table with a gentleman from Michoacan while waiting for our order who said this is the best birria anywhere. He said even in Michoacan this is would be the best birria. High praise indeed. My verdict. It was good. Well seasoned, juicy and generous portions. I could only eat one taco so we packed up the rest to bring home and walked back over to the churro stand. Remember the churros? I did. In fact I remembered hiring El Guero to do some events for me in the past where he brings his pot of oil and makes fresh churros on the spot. Then you can have him fill it with chocolate, strawberry, caramel or other fillings. $3 each or 4 for $10. We opted for 2 originals, 1 chocolate and 1 strawberry. We gave him the cash, brought them home and plopped down to enjoy our fresh churros and we were happy. End of story.

I love how each and every event was STUNNING but also unique to the couple. How lucky I was that she was available on my wedding day! Over the course of the past 9 months, Ann was always so patient, professional and insightful. She was so accommodating to multiple changes in our wedding decor throughout the whole process and was so receptive to updating the decor almost at the last minute to make sure everything complimented each other once we had received our wedding outfits. She suggested and implemented amazing ideas to make sure everything detail shined. She is one of the busiest vendors in the Bay Area, but she always made time for us. I can't thank you enough Ann for your creativity, insight and your patience! I also love how transparent Ann was throughout the process regarding pricing and budget - something that is rare to find in the wedding industry. When I would show her design I liked that was out of our budget, Ann came up with creative ways to get almost the exact same look within our budget. She always puts her couples first and goes all out for each and every one of them. Our wedding day had a tight schedule with a fast turnaround between the ceremony and reception with two entirely different looks for both events. Ann and her team executed perfectly. Every detail was FLAWLESS. Our families and guests are still in awe from all of the decor. We are still in awe from all of the decor. It truly was a fairytale wedding, completely unique to me and my husband. We cannot thank Ann and AAB Creations enough! AAB Creations is truly the best florist/decor company in the Bay and we highly recommend AAB Creations. We would choose Ann and her team again and again!

I would recommend her to anyone. THANK YOU SO MUCH ANN!!
