They truly brought our vision to life and made the entire setup feel so special and personalized. The quality of the backdrop was amazing--beautifully designed, vibrant, and the perfect focal point for the party. We received so many compliments from our guests, and it made for the most memorable photos. We had many changes throughout out party planning process which I felt really bad for but Lisa and her team were so easy to communicate with! They werepunctual, and clearly passionate about what they do. You can tell they genuinely care about making your event feel magical. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking to elevate their event. Thank you for helping make our son's birthday so unforgettable!

I had such a wonderful experience working with The Simple Luxe for my son's first birthday party…read morethat was farmers market themed! From start to finish they were incredibly easy to communicate with- responsive, attentive, and truly listened to what I wanted. Lisa and her team brought my vision to life, and it was even better than I imagined. What really stood out was their willingness to work within our budget without compromising on quality or creativity. They not only designed and set up all the balloons, backdrops, installations but they also spent extra time helping me decorate and design the farmers market with the custom gifts I made and/or purchased for my guests. The entire process felt stress-free and enjoyable. Everything turned out beautifully and we received so many compliments. I am truly honored to be The Simple Luxe's first farmers market themed client and I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a talented, reliable, and kind vendor who goes above and beyond. If you have been following them on social media like I was and have an upcoming event - reach out to them and get a quote! You will not be disappointed!

From start to finish, they were fantastic to work with and we cannot say enough good things about them! We are so, so happy to have hired Christina as our day of coordinator. She is incredibly caring, organized, personable, and professional. As our day of coordinator, she did more than just organize the day of the wedding. She is there from the moment you hire her to help you plan the day, work through decision fatigue, push to meet your goals, remind you of deadlines, and guide you through the entire process. She and her team did a spectacular job making our vision come to life. All the little things you need set up in the morning, the bouquet that needs to be picked up, guest and vendor questions, or the several boxes of decor you need packed up at the end of the night? This dedicated team has it handled! Shout out to Aly who went above and beyond to help fix up a wedding dress malfunction. She stayed steady and calm the entire time. It was truly a stress free day with this team by our side. Thank you Christina and the Sunshine Events team for all your hard work and making our special day all the more wonderful. 10/10 would highly recommend (again and again)!

When the wedding day finally arrived, I felt like I could just breathe and be a bride. Christina and her team were phenomenal and handled everything with so much grace. Because of them, we were early or perfectly on time for every single event throughout the day. Booking her was easily one of the top two best decisions I made for the entire wedding (right up there with the venue itself!). And the best added bonus was she sent over a lot of photos/videos right after the wedding so we could relive some of that immediately! Thank you, Christina, for making my day stress-free and perfect!

I booked Adina I believe in 2018 and she is not only professional but she is sweet, humble, and genuine. She worked with us every step and hurdle the pandemic caused. Meaning canceled venues, pushed wedding dates, special requests and even changed wedding design. I can't relay enough of my gratitude to her and her team. When the day of happened all that I dreamed of came to life. She worked with our budget and was realistic with us on what was worth getting to achieve the look and experience we wanted on our special day. All of our guests not only loved the venue, which is one of the exclusive venues of Event Loft, but they said the food and staff were impeccable. We have guests that continue to tell us that the venue was a gem to find and that everything was well scheduled. We booked everything with Event loft, except for the DJ and sofreh designer. She was very kind to the other vendors and helped them when needed. We have the most memorable photos, video and the flowers were beautiful and excellent quality. I couldn't imagine not having Adina and her team working our wedding. I simply can't thank them enough.

I contacted them on a Sunday morning and they responded within the hour. That afternoon they were able to show us the space at the Gray Matter Museum. We decided to think on it for a day but after discussing it further with Adina and ensuring we could use our same plans, wedding designs and ideas it was a no brainer to have our wedding at this venue. Adina was so helpful throughout the process and the venue was so absolutely stunning. It fit my wedding design so perfectly and I felt like it was truly meant to be. Our wedding was a dream and we couldn't have pulled it all together without their quick responses and help to make our day amazing.

This review is for Suhainah and the BEL team who helped us organize our wedding reception…read more The day of our event, Suhainah and a group of 4-5 other women went above and beyond to make sure our wedding reception went smoothly. They coordinated with all vendors well, directed guests and made the experience stress free. Everyone was so sweet to us and our dog, Rocky. We brought Rocky to our party and they made sure she was taken care of the entire time. It was so thoughtful. Rocky says the team gets 5 stars!

Horrible experience, stay away!…read more This is a review for Eliza at BEL Events for her wedding planning services. We met Eliza at our venue 8 month before our wedding date. During the first session she presented herself well, and she talked and bragged a lot about her 18 yrs of experience in event planning and stories about how she handles wedding situations. So, we thought she is the right event planner for us and signed a contract. After signing the contract and making the payment, she was very hard to find and we did not see the expected action from her side, and every time we followed up, her response was: "don't worry I will manage everything before the wedding day". We were asking for the basics of planning such as timeline, vendor recommendations (a few to choose from) and communications (which was part of the contract) but not no action except a quote of her own rental service. We were getting closer to the wedding date and her lack of action made us so worried and very frustrated. Eventually we had to get involved and did almost 90% of the work ourselves. She was very hard to find but even when we could talk to her, she would create more unnecessary problems to an extant that my wife had panic attacks after a few meetings we had with her. 2 month before our wedding she caused so much anxiety and frustration that we decided to end our contract with her and find another planner. Thankfully, our new planner was amazing and our Wedding planning went very smooth after that, and the event was as wonderful as we could imagine! With way lower cost than what Eliza had proposed! After I requested to cancel the contract she disappeared and never responded to our emails, which is very unprofessional. Here is a list of a few issues from our experience of working with here: 1- Accessibility: every time we had a question or needed to talk to her, it was taking several days until she gets back to us. With irrelevant excuses, like she would show me her busy google calendar! 2- Push to use her own services as vendors: Per her contract she had to suggest different vendors so we can choose. But since she has rental and flower services, she was arguing so much to stop us from even looking at other options! She charges unnecessarily expensive! By doing a little research, we found our vendors and saved at least 50% with same or better quality! 3- Nonsense arguments and rude attitude: In many occasions she was just insisting on holding the event the way SHE wants, without paying attention to our request or desire. Every time we requested something, her answer was: "I don't want MY event to be that way or I don't want MY guests to be that way"!!! With a condescending attitude emphasizing that "I have 18 yrs of experience and I know what to do"!!! Any simple request would become a long story and unnecessary argument. In one occasion my wife requested that guests throw flower petals while walking out of aisle, and she immediately said: "No!, you can't do that, I don't want my cleaning crew spend time on cleaning the petals"!!!! In another occasion Eliza was insisting on only using her recommended valet service (which was quoting more than double the price of the service we eventually used) and on top of it she was forcing us to rent extra parking lot out of venue and pay extra for shuttle service!!!! While the venue had enough capacity! And when I respectfully said: I am confident that the venue has enough capacity for parking, she got very angry and said: "in that case tell all your guests to use UBER and they can't drive their own car"!!! It was a nightmare working with BEL Events and I don't recommend her service due to lack of professionalism and decency in her business.

The Rosè was delicious and one of the best I think I have ever drank. The surroundings are just breathtaking with you feeling like you are in a little oasis in Newport Beach. They have lots of animals on the property, goats, chickens, tortoise, ponds with beautiful koi fish, bunnies. It's an animal lovers dream. All the animals are very happy and friendly. You can tell they get lots of love and attention, and are very well kept. The landscaping is like no other like you are in an exotic jungle mixed with a beautiful winery. The service was great! The owner and staff are very welcoming and were a lot of help with coordinating the shower and getting what we needed for the set up. I would definitely recommend hosting an event here. It's a private winery so it's open for groups and events. I will definitely have another event here!

But this was the best for both the parents and kids. Unlike Disney, the family members can all watch, and for an extra fee, Mommies can also participate by becoming a mermaid too. It was also more interactive than either of the other two experiences, because our niece got one on one time with her mermaid host, and got to have tea time and a Photoshoot. The adults also have a nice lounge area, where you can have lattes or some bubbly, if you choose. We appreciated that they considered the adults in the experience. Overall, we highly recommend this experience.
