First one was back in 2019, they…read morewere hire by my apartment complex to prepare a Mother's Brunch for residents and their mother's. Second one was for my wedding. I decided to go with them expecting the same experience but this was not the case at the end. My husband, fiancé at the time, and I went to the testing, Jennifer took care of us and we expressed our menu was going to be pork-free and it was reflected in our options, chicken and steak. About a month before the wedding they changed the contact person as Jennifer left the company. This cause a great deal of stress in me due to the fact that when I spoke with Maria she seemed that she did not have a clue if what I was talking about, regarding all the menu and specifics, I had already discuss with Jennifer and changed completely the quote adding a good $800 extra to quote. Come wedding day, first, I had nice matching silverware and the team decided to put the metal silverware next to the silver wear. Here the common sense was not used. This clashed with the decor. I remember mentioning to put the silverware next to the food so if people wanted to use those instead of the ones in the table they had the choice. Secondly, the caesar salad had bacon on it and it was pre-made. Once again, I was very explicit about not wanting pork in the menu. Half of my family ended not been able to eat the salad and I found this so annoying as I paid almost $2,400 for the services. Third, the head server approach me at some point of the wedding to ask me about the services and I told her how I was feeling and told her 'not great'. To this day NOBODY from this company has reached out to me for feedback. Needless to say they won't have my business nor recommendation in the future. Lastly, keep in mind it has been almost a full year of my wedding and I still feel strongly about it all.

They catered our son and daughter-in-law's rehearsal dinner 1 week after Hurricane Ian. I cannot say enough wonderful things about them. Their staff members, Ice (lead server) and Dunia (2nd server) were absolutely awesome! They showed up on time coming to Venice, Fl from Tampa during very heavy "Ian" recovery traffic. Not only did they impress us with arriving with ample time to set up before guests arrived, they were very personable, happy, enjoyable and extremely efficient in serving and clean up. The food by Affordable Catering was absolutely amazing. The 62+ guests we had were thrilled with the food and service. Everything tasted so delicious, in particular, the Maui Chicken was a HUGE success. We received nothing but raves about the food. Thank you "Affordable Catering" for making our first experience an excellent experience. Marie Bentancourt, my sales associate, was also key in making our event a success as well. She worked very hard at satisfying my needs. She was very conscious of my concerns and had perfect suggestions to satisfy my specific needs. Thank you once again Affordable Catering. If anyone is looking for the perfect company to cater their party, you will not be disappointed with this company.

I highly recommend Shannon Crona Wilson and Table 6 Productions! Soon after my fiancé proposed to…read moreme, I reached out to Shannon to discuss hiring her to be our wedding planner. I'll admit that planning a wedding is out of my league. Additionally, I work part-time and I'm studying to be a psychiatrist. My husband is a biological scientist and conservation planner, which requires him to frequently travel. Not only did we not have any idea where or how to begin planning a wedding, but we also both have very little free time. From our first interaction with Shannon, we were extremely impressed. In fact, our first interaction with Shannon was on a Friday night since that was the only time that our schedules allowed us to talk with her. Throughout the nine months that we worked with her to plan our wedding, Shannon always communicated with us when it was most convenient for us - including nights, weekends, and even holidays. Because we live in Tallahassee, FL - the location of our wedding - and Table 6 Productions is located in St Petersburg, FL, Shannon communicated with us by phone and email. Shannon worked with every vendor involved in our wedding, which included negotiating and securing contracts with them. Although Shannon was working outside of the area of our wedding venue, the planning process was seamless. Shannon listened to our ideas for our wedding, and she then turned our dreams into reality. We have no idea if Shannon was working with other couples during the time that she was planning our wedding, as she never mentioned it. Shannon gave my husband and I VIP treatment, making us both feel like royalty. Since wedding planning is about your big day, why wouldn't you want to feel like you are the most important couple in the world? We set an original budget, which Shannon strived hard to adhere to. We did exceed it, but that was only by our choice. Shannon was very conscientious with regards to our budget, and she made recommendations about rentals and other aspects of our wedding that were not necessary in an attempt to stay within our original budget. Again, we only went over our original budget by choosing to have specific elements in our wedding that were not originally discussed with Shannon. Three months prior to our wedding date, Shannon made a trip to Tallahassee, FL to meet with all of our vendors, my husband, and myself. Several of our vendors mentioned to us that they were impressed that Shannon came to meet with them in person, as that is rare for other wedding planners that they've worked with - including ones who live in our area. In fact, all of our vendors and everyone involved in our wedding informed us how friendly Shannon was and what a pleasure she was to work with. Shannon's knowledge of the wedding industry, coupled with her attention to detail, allowed her to execute every aspect of planning our wedding with flawless precision and class. There is no possible way that our wedding would have come to fruition without Shannon's help. Over the course of planning our wedding with Shannon, we became so close that we consider her more than our wedding planner - she is valued as a member of our family. We utilized Shannon and Table 6 Productions for full-service wedding planning, which was the best decision we've ever made. On the day of our wedding, we enjoyed relaxing and spending time with our friends and family. The only thing that we had to do on our wedding day was show up to our venue and marry one another. Shannon coordinated every aspect of setting up for our wedding with our vendors, as well as the clean-up that took place afterwards. Several of our friends and family members who attended our wedding later mentioned to us that they wish Shannon was their wedding planner when they were married. They added that they had never seen a wedding flow as smoothly as ours did. To say that my husband and I are pleased with the service we received from Shannon and Table 6 Productions would be an understatement. Shannon exceeded our expectations and created the most memorable experience of our lives. We are forever thankful!

I could not be happier with my wedding day and I owe it all to Shannon Wilson!…read moreAn experienced and well connected wedding planner can make your money go a long way. She helped me stay on budget without having to make any sacrifices. She was so easy to communicate with-It was like having your most competent girlfriend (the one that also happens to have all the connections) laser focused on bringing your dreams to reality. She helped me sort through the countless vendors and matched me perfectly with each one based both on personalities and expectations. Shannon kept all the contracts together, reminded me of due dates for payments, and coordinated timelines with all the vendors. My husband and I got to sit back and enjoy the planning process, because we knew we had a professional to steer us in the right direction. Each taste testing or mock up was like a fun date that only brought us closer as a couple. Shannon helped ensure that everything was to my taste and I thoroughly enjoyed one of the most memorable days of my life. I don't know what I would have done without you Shannon!

This is just a warning to anyone wanting to use Romantic Essentials for their special occasion. My…read morestory began when I was in need of an engagement proposal specialist. I found Romantic Essentials online and the gallery was amazing. I sent the business an inquiry and they responded with a telephone request for May 23rd. We spoke on the telephone and expressed my ideas for an engagement proposal. They requested $200 deposit to lock in my July 1st date. I paid those monies on June 2nd. On June 9th, I paid another $399 towards the $999 package that I selected. June 25th was the next correspondence I received via email. It was a reminder about an upcoming telephone session that was scheduled for June 27th. Next, I actually received a notification at 0500hrs that my monies would be refunded and my telephone appointment was canceled. I was blown away by the notifications. I quickly researched past emails and saw that I missed a payment reminder two days prior. I was very busy with a very sick friend and mentor in the hospital. I will own that and I will be accountable for that. The issues are as follows: I tried to email & text the representative Zakiya several times. She eventually called me back and expressed that they would no longer be able to help me with my proposal less than 4 days away. Regardless of my ability to pay the remaining $399. She only apologized for her assistant not calling me about the final payment reminder. I asked if I could utilize the "MARRY ME" letters to somehow salvage the date. Zakiya said that she would check the availability and call me back later. She never called to assist me. They ghosted me! At that point in this journey, they have $600 of the monies that I have paid. She advised that I would only receive $399, the other monies are non-refundable ($200). If you told the assistant to call me and they did not, there needs to be more accountability from the business. Two hundred dollars for two phone calls is excellent money if you can make it off of someone. Throughout our communications, they expressed faith in the conversations. My question, where was the grace that could have been shown to me?Ultimately, God received the glory and it was a beautiful moment that my fiancé will never forget. God brought together a different planner and photographer in the eleventh hour.

She was absolutely instrumental in making my 60th birthday party a stunning, memorable success. From the moment I saw the setup, I was blown away. Sofia's team created a magnificent balloon and lighted '60' number display that instantly became the focal point of the party--it was so chic and celebratory! The rest of the decor, including the amazing centerpieces and balloons, was equally beautiful and perfectly executed. Beyond the major decor, Sofia's attention to detail truly elevated the event, right down to the thoughtful cute flip-flop party favors she provided. Honestly, my event would not have been half as good without Sofia and Tampa Luxury Picnics and Events. If you are looking for an event planner who delivers on luxury, creativity, and flawless execution, look no further. Highly, highly recommended!"
