Alexis McAfree aka DJ Stoykavich…read more Thanks to Alexis (AKA DJ Stoykavich), the quality of the music selection at our wedding was excellent but everything else including the quality of her sound equipment and her interactions with our day-of coordinator, the guests, and the bridal party fluctuated between disappointing to downright offensive. Prior to expressing our disappointment with our DJ, we had an onslaught of aggressive responses from both our friends and family about their many negative experiences with her. Weeks after our wedding, our guests still unsolicitedly rave about what an amazing evening they had with the sole exception regarding being any interactions they had with Alexis. Finding a good DJ can be difficult and often is not given enough forethought or in depth investigation to make sure they will be a good fit. 8-9 months prior to our wedding, we began our search. We had no idea that so many DJs (the first 8 that we reached out to) would be booked out so far for our date. Alexis was not our first choice, but being the first that we talked to who had our date available, we booked her immediately. We would quickly learn to regret hiring her. The lead up to the wedding, she was unavailable to speak with us and insisted that all contact had to be via email and could not be done over the phone or in person for any part of the planning. When the day arrived, she was difficult to work with and began butting heads with our day-of coordinator immediately. We had to speak with her rather sternly about the need to work together with him as we would not be able to tend to details during our own wedding. The quality of her microphone and speakers were subpar and everything was very scratchy and difficult to hear. Our guests were informed that requests would be $25 per song (never discussed with us in advance that a fee would be required). Things rose to a head when the time came for the couple's first dance and the mother-son dance. We had just finished cake cutting and when we went over to say it was time for the dances, she curtly told us that "if you are going to make me stop the music again, I am not going to stop it for the cake cutting later." She then attempted to argue with us about whether we had done the cake cutting already. I assured her I could still taste the cake because contrary to her thoughts, the cake cutting had happened. She had even paused the music and given the microphone to us for the cake cutting - I wondered even more how little she was paying attention to everything going on. She then said she we never got her the song for mother-son dance and that she was not going to be able to play it. One of us started to go through emails to prove to her that we had submitted it (conveniently as ALL communication had occurred via e-mail) and she dug her feet in and insisted verbally that it was too late because we didn't do it on time (despite confirming music plan for the day over 2 weeks prior that had originally been sent 5-6 MONTHS prior). After some tense back and forth, I asked her to look through and see if she had the song (it is a very common wedding song) and she relented and she said she had it. The challenge was not so much about whether we had told her the song in advance but that she was immediately in our face and very defensive and outright aggressive and not did not possess even an ounce of tact or empathy for us AT OUR OWN WEDDING. We made very few specific requests of her for our day, none of which were taxing, so this level of aggression was unwarranted. As she was breaking her materials down at the end of the night she cut in to say she needed the second half of her money, which is understandable, although again not terribly tactful. She informed us how much we owed, and then said we needed to tip her on top of that. NEEDED to. We had been tipping all of our other services quite generously without prompting and planned to do so for her, but to be told we needed to tip, after such offensive behavior all night long, was bold of her. I'm disappointed to note that the examples listed above were only a few of those we experienced working with her. We would never suggest Alexis' services to anyone. We would strongly encourage avoiding her at all costs to be honest. From beginning to end it was awful and she provided literally the only disappointing aspect of our wedding. For the sake of your big day (or any event), plan ahead and get a better DJ - do NOT settle for her as we did.

We were getting zero response from anyone we tried to get a hold of down there and started to worry our plan wasn't going to happen. We knew we needed a professional. We found Amy online and had an initial phone call consult and that was pretty much all we needed. When we first met Amy, I knew she was the one to get it done. She's straight forward, very direct(which I love), extremely responsive(trust me, my then fiance hit her up constantly and she was ALWAYS so responsive and patient), she is extremely professional, and she just gets SHT DONE! Every step of the way, she was there for us. She kept us calm, minimized our stress levels and gave us the confidence that our day was going to be a success. She made several trips down to Mexico to deal with the different vendors and always gave much needed guidance and advice. Come to our wedding day, all of her and my wife's work came to fruition. The day was absolutely PERFECT. Everything flowed as planned and Amy was just as good as it gets. I wouldn't recommend anyone else. She's the consummate pro. THANK YOU for making this day the most memorable day of our lives!!

Jillian made our dreams and visions come true!…read more Our daughter married in Orange County and though TBD is headquartered in San Diego, they proved to be the very best vendor to deliver all we required. As an added bonus, TBD handled all our floral needs as well as rentals and design. Speaking of design, Jillian has an extensive design background, crossing several industries, including interior design. She immediately understood our direction and level of formalness. We wanted sophisticated, classic, polished, and elegant. Jillian and TBD nailed it. She elevated every detail. Jillian bent over backwards to bring the design elements that were out of our budget back into the design. She saved us thousands of dollars and we are so grateful for her generosity and mindfulness of affordability. She is exactly who you want on your team. The TBD team is competent, efficient, and so talented. Jillian hired an amazing crew from the drivers and warehouse staff to the designers and installers. They required minimal time and effort on our part. We were able to enjoy our special moments and just be dazzled by the room transformations at our events. We have more events in our future and look forward to bringing TBD in to make our celebrations the very best they can be and creating unforgettable moments.

Both David & Gena keep in close communication with us. Even during a serious health issue they did not miss a beat and kept in close communication with us. During the celebration they made sure that we took family shots so we did not miss out. The props were the best props we have seen at any photo booth experience we have had. The props were well organized and in bins which made it easy to select for the pictures. There were more enough props so we did not have wait for any prop from the group in the booth. If was an effortless process. They made sure that everyone was aware of when it was close to the end of the booth time so that anyone who did not get a chance to go to the booth had the opportunity to take pictures before they closed up shop. When they were done the gave us individual pictures of our son & daughter-in-law and the photos of the family along with a thumb drive of all the photos that were taken of the evening. We are very pleased and had many comments on how well the photo booth ran and the total experience. PBX will definitely be on our list for our next celebration! Thank you David, Gena and David Lee for such a wonderful experience!!!

We failed to realize how significant the DIY component was until shortly before the wedding. Fortunately, I reached out to Kenzie and she agreed to join the team. I am very appreciative of all the help at my wedding, but Kenzie went beyond exceptional service. She took initiative, anticipated potential issues, dealt effectively with all the vendors, and went the extra mile to make sure things went well. We really didn't want to spend the money to have a day-of-coordinator, but after having Kenzie we have absolutely no regrets about our decision to let someone else take on the challenge of orchestrating such an important event.

During the wedding, she made sure that everything stayed on track with the original timeline. I definitely recommend Eden Events if you are looking for an event coordinator!

They were an absolute joy…read moreto work with and helped us bring our dream wedding to life at Reinstein Ranch this past September. Before the big day, we had two meetings with Kirin. The first was to go over the incredibly helpful planning materials TLC provided, where we shared our ideas for food and décor. Kirin not only listened but gave us excellent vendor recommendations. Every time I reached out after that, she was quick to respond with thoughtful advice, which I deeply appreciated. The second meeting was for final details, and Kirin went above and beyond, staying an extra 30 minutes to make sure everything was just right. She even handled an unexpected fire drill with ease, truly going to bat for her brides. Little did we know, that wouldn't be the last "fire" she'd put out for us! As a DIY bride, some of my décor didn't quite go as planned due to the wind. Kirin and her team were quick to jump in and fix everything, making it look beautiful. The biggest mishap of the day was our 8-foot floral arch snapping in half. Instead of apologizing and moving on, the TLC team cut the floral noodles off and attached them to a wooden arch provided by the venue, all while I continued to live my stress free life of getting pampered. She kept me updated which I also appreciated so that there were no surprises. On top of that, Kirin's team ensured everything ran smoothly--from paying vendors and sticking to the timeline to keeping us fed, hydrated, and stress-free. They even made sure no one got too rowdy and cleaned everything up so we could simply enjoy our day. All we had to do was return the next morning to pick up our décor. My only regret is that I only get one wedding! But for any event--whether it's a wedding, corporate gathering, or anniversary--I highly recommend TLC. They are the best of the best!
