    From the very beginning, Vanessa made the entire planning process feel effortless. With less than a…read moreyear to plan our wedding, I was feeling overwhelmed, but Vanessa immediately stepped in and connected us with incredible vendors, including our DJ, mariachi, photographer, makeup artist, and more. Having trusted recommendations right from the start lifted a huge weight off my shoulders. She only recommends vendors she truly believes in and who will be the perfect fit for your vision. Throughout the planning process, we appreciated her professionalism, organization, and consistent communication. As the wedding day approached, her check-ins and attention to detail gave us so much peace of mind. We shared our vision for a fusion wedding, and Vanessa brought it to life beautifully. I cannot say enough about how amazing she was during our rehearsal and on the wedding day itself. I genuinely don't remember having to lift a finger on my wedding day. She thinks of every detail, anticipates potential issues before they arise, and always has a backup plan ready. Weddings can be chaotic, but I was able to fully enjoy every moment because I knew everything was in great hands. The number of compliments we received from our guests about how smoothly and seamlessly everything flowed was incredible. All thanks to Vanessa's hard work behind the scenes! Coming from a Hispanic family, it's common for relatives to step in and help coordinate different aspects of the wedding day. After experiencing what it was like to have Vanessa coordinate everything, our friends and family could not stop raving about how valuable it was to have a professional managing everything. Instead of worrying about timelines, vendors, or logistics, they were able to fully relax, be present, and enjoy the celebration to the fullest. That peace of mind was truly priceless. I am beyond grateful for everything Vanessa did for us. If I were planning another wedding tomorrow, she would be my very first call. I truly could not have done it without her, and I wholeheartedly recommend Con Cariño to anyone looking for an event coordinator who genuinely cares and goes above and beyond.

    If you're looking for the perfect event coordinator, look no further! Vanessa has years of…read moreexperience and her expertise will ensure for a flawless event. I contacted Vanessa to help me plan my wedding. She immediately responded and set up an online wedding consultation to meet with me & my fiancée, hear all about our vision, our love story, and answer any of our questions. She even offered to stay and chat longer to make sure she had everything down. She immediately got to work and started looking for vendors and sent recommendations. Truly amazing to work with. Her dedication and work ethic are key contributors to making your dream event become a reality! I look forward to planning my next party with Con Cariño.

    Meg was absolutely phenomenal. She pulled together a beautiful, seamless event in just a few…read moremonths--handling everything from vendor selection to execution with calm, confidence, and incredible attention to detail. She worked closely with us to stay within budget while maximizing impact in all the right places. Her eye for design and ability to prioritize what truly mattered made the decor feel thoughtful, elevated, and completely aligned with our vision. Even when unexpected issues arose (as they always do with events), Meg navigated them with grace and professionalism. Everything within her control was flawlessly executed, and we were able to fully enjoy the day knowing she had everything handled. We've had countless guests tell us it was the best wedding they've ever been to--and we couldn't agree more. So much of that is thanks to Meg's talent, dedication, and steady hand.

    Our experience with meg had a mix of really positive moments and some challenges along the way. In…read morethe beginning, she was warm, responsive, and extremely helpful as we started planning. Those early months felt supported and guided, and we appreciated how she helped us lay the groundwork for our year-long planning journey, as well as helping us try to get the best 'bang for our buck'. We chose the middle-tier gold planning package, which meant she was with us throughout the entire year. Looking back, we felt that the middle portion of planning was quieter than expected, with long stretches of minimal communication or updates. Because of that, we honestly think couples who prefer lighter involvement might have a better experience with her "month-of" package, since that seems to align more naturally with the areas where she was the most active and present. As we approached the final stretch, things became a bit more stressful. The timeline was finalized later than expected and included several mistakes, which made us feel uneasy heading into the wedding week. At the rehearsal, it felt like some key details we had clarified earlier didn't fully carry over, leading to some confusion. We also often felt like our requests were met with hesitation rather than collaboration or compromise, which added to the pressure of those final days. Instead of a "that sounds great, let's see how we can make that work!", a lot of our ideas were met with a "here's what I think we should do instead." With our package, she does have a full google sheets planner, that you are responsible for filling out (understandably so). However, it felt as though these were prioritized over actual communication. For this reason, looking back I think the 'month-of' contract would've been maybe a better fit and a planner guide could be purchased on etsy. All of that said, we want to acknowledge that on the actual wedding day, she was very helpful and very present, and we ended up having a truly beautiful wedding. We're grateful for the effort she put in, especially early on, and we know she has strengths that many couples will appreciate. With more consistent communication throughout the full planning period, a bit more attention to detail in the end stages, and appreciating and compromising on the couples ideas, we think future clients could have a better experience.

    Wow -- we cannot recommend Time of Your Life Entertainment highly enough! We loved working with…read morethem so much for our son's bar mitzvah two years ago that hiring them again for our daughter's bat mitzvah was the easiest vendor decision we made. My daughter's party was absolutely LIT with DJ Snuppi at the helm. He brings such incredible, unique energy and truly knows how to make a party feel like the time of your life. Our family and friends packed the dance floor, and my daughter's friends had an absolute blast with the high-energy games and interactions DJ Snuppi led throughout the evening. Our phenomenal dancer, Sara, was back by special request for our second mitzvah, and she was amazing once again. Also, Lisa was an absolute dream to work with during the planning process -- professional, organized, responsive, and genuinely kind every step of the way. Everything ran seamlessly, from the LED dance floor to the montage presentation. We especially loved having my daughter's logo displayed on the screen throughout the event -- such a special touch that made the night feel so personalized. This team is truly the dream team. They know exactly how to create an unforgettable celebration, and we are so grateful to them for helping make my daughter's bat mitzvah such an incredible night. Highly, highly recommend!

    We just had our wedding this past weekend and wow our candy table was gorgeous. I don't have the…read moreprofessional pictures yet but I included one that one of our guests took. I told Raquel we wanted a rustic theme and sure enough, the candy table fit perfectly with our wedding decor. From beginning to end, Raquel was very easy to work with. She worked with me on my budget and was quick to respond to emails. The price is very reasonable for what you get. I would HIGHLY recommend Sweetest Touch Candy Buffet and will definitely consider hiring them for baby showers, bridal showers, etc in the future!

I expressed to her that the reveal would be from the cupcakes and agreed on a deep blue icing to match the theme. Day of the event she was extremely late for the set up, showing up only 20 mins before the party and was still setting up when the guests arrived. After they finish setting up, she tells me that she didn't do the blue icing filling for the cupcakes so now I have nothing to reveal! I was furious! She didn't bother to use her table linen and left the existing one already on the table. We had to scramble and buy another prop to use for the reveal. I expressed my disappointment and that I wanted at least a partial refund but of course never heard from her again. She was also late picking up her equipment when we accommodated her to pick up the next day. For the amount paid, the service was truly lacking. If you're planning an event, go with a real professional instead.
