Not a fan of the service that was provided at my best friend's wedding. Would NOT RECOMMEND…read more Everything was behind schedule. Couple had their send off over an hour after the planned time. Bride was very stressed out. Pens for the guestbook were not quality checked and did not work. The brides father and brother had to go to the venue to receive and quality check the table and chairs. Things were not set up on time (lots of waiting around for dinner, dancing, bouquet toss). Multiple times during the reception I saw her consulting the bride. Consultation and the plan of the vision are supposed to be established ahead of time. The wedding planner is supposed to take off as much stress from the bride and bridal party. I don't feel the brides best interests were taken into account- the bride made some bad calls and the planner should have stepped in with professional judgement. Guests would have been perfectly happy with 30 minutes of dancing. 1 hour + of dancing is just too much for guests AND the bride was exhausted!!! Several times I saw wedding planner standing around doing nothing or picking up menial things and not prepping for the next event, chitchatting, her assistant was not knowledgeable on the dinner menu. For several of the events I was the one running around -finding the getaway car keys, finding the bouquet, finding people to move things along. She was inept and making the wedding reception flow - guests were frustrated. Even if bride has crazy wishes - yes you want to do what she wishes but not at the expense of a drawn out event that makes guests want to leave.

Carolyn was a life saver for me! I wanted to do most of my own planning but needed a lot of…read moreguidance and she was there for me in big ways! From helping with ideas for themes to suggestions for 'should haves' at the reception that I had not even thought of. I received so many compliments about the fact that everything from the programs to the decorations throughout the ceremony and reception reflected the personalities and loves and both my husband and I. On the Big Day she was indispensable. I had many family members taking on roles and she made sure everybody was in the right place at the right time. And when I had a big dress mishap she was there to save the day! Carolyn is very kind, had tons of ideas and was a fabulous friend to me throughout the entire planning process. I couldn't have done it without her.

Judy and Carol helped to plan my first daughter's wedding on 8/20/2011. I interviewed several…read morewedding planners and went with them because I liked that there were two of them. My daughter and now son-in-law also interviewed them and we all agreed that they were the best. I'll be honest, at first I was a little worried. Not because of anything they were or weren't doing, but because I'm a control freak Plus type A personality and wanted my daughter's wedding day to be perfect. So, I ended up stepping on toes and trying to do things on my own when I should have listened to the wedding planners and sat back and relaxed. Judy and Carol convinced me however that they had EVERYTHING under control and I did become convinced that they did. Nearing the last month and the two weeks before the wedding is when so many of the final details are wrapped up and they are on top of it. So, if you hire them, don't worry, they have it under control. The day of the wedding when we arrived, Carol and Judy were just finishing up the set-up and it was GORGEOUS!!! Also, we had a bit of a fiasco with a hotel that we had lined up and the shuttle service. Judy made many calls on our behalf and we ended up going to a different hotel and hiring a Royal Coach Bus for 57 passengers to take our guests from the Sheraton in Pleasanton to the Crooked Vine Winery in Livermore. This worked out perfectly and made the evening so enjoyable for everyone because they didn't have to worry about driving. I will say that when my next daughter gets married, I will definitely be hiring Carol and Judy again! Going into a wedding, you think you only have to hire people but there are so many details, many that you don't even think about. I loved all their vendors and will be writing separate reviews on that. Their floral person did an awesome job!!!! On the wedding day they stayed until the very end and had all the gifts and everything loaded into our vehicle already. This was so nice because my husband and I could spend time with our guests instead of running around making sure everything was going right. I highly recommend Carol and Judy for your wedding planners! Worth every penny!

We appreciated the flexibility of his packages and the add-ons you could have if you wanted (we also had the photobooth and audio phone guestbook). Pricing was reasonable and he also made a special dance mix for the father/daughter dance that now remains a favorite personal memory from the night. David is also extremely professional, understanding and detail oriented. He communicates when he'd be able to get back to you about questions/concerns and fulfilled the song requests that we had put in from cocktail hour to the dance floor. We received many compliments from our friends/family about how everything ran super smooth and David played a huge factor in making sure the evening went according to the planned schedule. The dance floor remained hyped all evening and David expertly blends/transitions songs depending on how the vibes are going. On soundwavemobiledj's instagram page, you will also be able to get a good glimpse at his MC/DJ skills at events/weddings. Cannot thank David enough for his time and services for the day! Despite being booked and busy, he always made sure that we felt confident and supported in the wedding process. Highly recommend David for your DJ/MC needs!

We went with 20 uplights and 4 GOBO pattern lights along the walls of our reception area. It turned out beautifully and really added to the ambiance of the evening. The team did setup and cleanup seamlessly. FSE was also quite responsive and communicative throughout the entire planning process. They provided an extensive gallery of photos specifically at our venue to showcase the different lighting and drapery options they had. When we were choosing our GOBO pattern, they also had a large gallery and were able to show us examples. I'd definitely recommend FSE for any event lighting you'd need. They're fantastic at what they do!

I rarely leave negative reviews, but I feel obligated to share our experience so others can make an…read moreinformed decision. My mom hired this event planner for a very important family event, and unfortunately, it was one of the most stressful experiences we've had. Communication was poor throughout the planning process, and she arrived late on the day of the event. There were multiple items that my mom paid for that were either missing or incomplete. The floral arrangements were insufficient, and several agreed upon decorations and details were never provided. The communication was great until the payment was sent and then we hardly heard from her. The biggest issue was the pizza catering. My mom paid over $1,000 for a catered pizza service, but during the party the event planner called at 6pm to say the pizza man was not coming. As of today, despite multiple attempts to resolve the matter, no refund has been received. We tried to handle this privately before leaving a review, but unfortunately we have been unable to resolve the situation and are now pursuing the matter through Small Claims Court.
