Our first one didn't work out and that's when we found Trina (cue the heavenly music!!) Trina and her team were professional, fun and genuinely caring. The way she works is amazing, she listens to what you want and then makes it happen. She referred great vendors to us and when one vendor didn't work she promptly replaced her. She even gave us a refund for that vendor out of her own pocket. I never had a hard time reaching her and even when things we wanted didn't fit into our budget she made it work. We didn't get to see the finished product until the day of the wedding and it was BEAUTIFUL!! she thought of EVERYTHING! Our family and friends are still talking about how lovely and smooth our wedding went and it's all because of her. We were able to just enjoy ourselves because she took care of everything. If your getting married you HAVE to call her, we will be calling her for our vow renewal years from now =)

She handled organizing all of the vendors, set-up and clean-up as well as just making sure that everything was on schedule and ran smoothly during the event. I didn't have to worry about anything. at. all. If you want to enjoy your own event and not have to worry at all about the details--she is the go-to person for that! She was always prompt and very professional every time we met up for an appointment and was very easy to work with. I would recommend Maya Event Co. in half a heartbeat.

Andrew and Emily are the BEST! If I were to do it all over again, I would pick them in a heartbeat…read more If you didn't already know they are a husband and wife team, and they ooze their love for their couples with every meeting. They were professional and personable through every contact (face to face, email, phone call, text, etc). They take a genuine interest in every single one of their couples, and make you feel valued. They also a talent for capturing such beautiful photos of those who don't feel photogenic (ie. me). Our photos turned out beautiful each time (we used them for our e-shoot and wedding). Our friends and family always compliment our photos and say how photogenic we are. Though truth is, my husband and I aren't photogenic; Andrew and Emily are just that good at what they do! If you are on the fence about hiring them, just do it! You won't regret it!

After painstakingly reviewing thousands (literally) of photographers on Instagram, we were so amazed at how well they captured moments, portraits, symmetry, and colors (day vs. night). We really liked that Andrew Jade Photography is a husband and wife duo. We felt as if they were providing input and guidance as a couple vs. a business transaction throughout our times together. They really went above and beyond for our engagement shoot by coordinating with AC Hotels for the engagement shoot. In addition, we were embarrassingly demanding with the shot list and they amazingly handled with such poised and removed any impediments. They are amazing people and we really enjoyed our times with them together! It really showed in our wedding photos. We are so lucky to meet Andrew and Emily and can not thank them enough! We highly recommend Andrew Jade Photography for your photography needs!

Chef Lori shops for the ingredients and makes them enough dinner meals for the week, AND delivers them to their front door weekly! My mom is a very picky eater. Everything is either too salty or too spicy. She does not like to try new foods, new methods of cooking, nothing new in the kitchen. Chef Lori is a magician! My mom will try everything she makes and tells me that she actually likes certain NEW foods!! Unbelievable! I never imagined that happening. They rave about how clean she would leave the kitchen when she was cooking in their home. Now, with Covid 19, the meals are made in Chef Loris home. They've developed a beautiful relationship. When it was my Dad's bday, I asked Chef Lori if she could bake his favorite birthday cake. Her response? "I would be honored!" I asked if I could send a banner to hand in front of their home, announcing his bday during this Stay-at-Home situation and she excitedly said: I look forward to making your Dad's birthday one he'll remember!" That just shows her level of commitment, her passion for food, and her beautiful character. If you need any type of food service. this is your GO TO GAL!

Arizona Catering was our caterer of choice for our reception at Portico Weddings. Portico…read morerecommends we use one of their two caterers, but it isn't mandatory. We tried both of them, and Arizona Catering won us over with their hospitable tasting event right at Portico and individual conversations with couples who were there sampling the menu. I loved the tasting nights... everything we tried was fantastic. We ended up with the same spinach, strawberry, poppyseed salad that Heather described in her review, and I concur that it was phenomenal. We had rosemary chicken that was so tender it could have been cut with a spoon. The garlic mashed potatoes and Hawaiian sweet rolls topped it all off. It was so good. I wish I hadn't been such a nervous bride, unable to eat much! Everyone I talked to commented on how good the food was, and I heard several times it was the best wedding food some had ever had. I have zero frame of reference on that, but it was awesome. The servers kept things moving and were very friendly. They cut and served our cake, and got the tables cleared in a timely manner. I'm so happy with the whole thing, and really glad we chose Arizona Catering!

I got married in June 2024 at Garden Tuscana. My fiancé and I worked very closely with the Garden…read moreTuscana team and we opted to leverage many of their preferred vendors, one of which was AZ DJ Entertainment. My fiancé and I had a few meetings with Jerry, the owner, a few months before our big day. He had a questionnaire to fill out, which was more daunting than I'd expected! But Jerry was very understanding and patient with us in the few meetings we had with him. I could tell quickly that he understood our vibe and vision. It was even a few weeks before our wedding and we still hadn't selected the first dance song, and he played multiple songs for us, trying to help us narrow it down. I was also appreciative that Jerry allowed us to make a Spotify playlist of many of the songs we wanted to help showcase the vibe we were going for. It was much easier than having to write down a bunch of song names and artists. I was excited to have Jerry there for the big day since he had been the one we'd had all of the convos with and he was the owner. However, unfortunately about the week before our wedding, he let us know that he wasn't going to be able to make it and had another team member of his, named Los, take over. I was a tad hesitant about this, but Jerry and I spoke live the day before my wedding and hashed out all of the details (I'm not gonna lie, I was kind of stressed that day, so I appreciate him taking all of my questions, some of which I asked multiple times just to double and triple check that we were on the same page!). Things ended up going really well with Los and he was a good stand in for Jerry on the big day. I feel like the dance floor had many folks on it at all times and Los knew what to play. Many times, he'd play songs that weren't on our Spotify playlist, but he knows better than us what's going to get the crowd going. Even a few months after our wedding, I was at another wedding and someone who was a guest at ours went out of her way to tell me how amazing our DJ was. It made me happy to hear how much fun people had on our dance floor. Thank you, Los! Only a few minor things that I wish would have happened differently: 1) When we met with Jerry, he walked us through the "Anniversary Dance," which I was familiar with as it's common at other weddings I've been to. He said that at the end of the anniversary dance, the last couple standing (which I knew would be my grandparents who have been married over 65 years and had traveled from Ohio) gets to share a few words of wisdom/advice for the couple. I was excited about this and wanted to know what my grandparents would say. Well unfortunately, Los must have a different approach because that didn't end up happening. It was kind of like "Ok last couple, great! Now moving onto the next thing!" I was bummed my grandparents didn't get to give a brief speech. 2) My husband and his groomsmen did a coordinated line dance and it was NEVER announced! I only found out about it after the fact, even though I was right in the vicinity. If the groom and his groomsmen are going to do a line dance, it should be announced so that we can all watch. To this day, it's the main "regret" I have at my wedding (which I can't even call a regret because I didn't even know it was happening!) I had to relive it though other people's videos and I am very sad I missed it. This may have been more of a issue with my husband communicating to Los; however as a DJ, I'd hope they'd at least get on the mic and draw attention to the dance floor and say that the groomsmen have something special prepared, etc. 3) The last thing is that they never announced that there were leftovers and people could get seconds. Which again, may be more of a Garden Tuscana thing than a DJ thing. But given these two companies work together often, you'd think they'd have that figured out. We had SO many leftovers and a few guests talked about how they wish they could have gotten seconds. So there is definitely a missed opportunity in how that could have been announced (which is usually something the DJ does). Other than that, we really enjoyed the atmosphere that Arizona DJ Entertainment provided for us and our guests the day of our wedding. I would recommend them for your wedding needs. And if you get married at Garden Tuscana, I'd definitely use them because they are part of the package and are in that location often, so know how to use it. We also upgraded to the enhanced lighting, which I loved! Really elevated the mood, and it's only something you can do if you go with them as your DJ vendor.

Jesse is what every event Dj shouldn aspire to be…read more From the time he arrived to the time he left Jesse was so personable and making sure that he was playing the music that us and our guests wanted to listen to. He was on point with all his timings for the ceremony, grand entrance, and the whole reception. Before the beginning of the wedding he made sure to confirm the correct order of everything that way there were no hiccups. Jesse took all song requests from the guests and had a smile the whole time while doing it. He would come up to us and make sure that we were enjoying the music choices he was picking that weren't on our list. I wish I had more events coming up because I wouldn instantly use Jesse before anyone else. I will definitely be referring Jesse to my friends and anyone I know getting married or having an event in the near future!! Not only was Jesse an amazing Dj but the owner of the company was so amazing in explaining the process of how the Dj would work during our whole evening. He also provided ideas if how to do our entrances for the wedding!
