Three things: 1…read more Three cheers (or should I say, tiers??) for Icing On the Cake! My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Ashley as our day-of coordinator for our wedding in June, and I can say without hesitation that one of the primary reasons everything went off without a hitch (well, minus US getting hitched!) was thanks to having Ashley and IOTC as part of our day. 2. Ashley and IOTC offered us professionalism, wonderful help and insight, great communication, and just the best-ever attitude amidst my bridezilla-ness :) I felt ever-safe in Ashley's care - a notion that came to full light the day that she came with us to our final venue meeting when I really got to see her in action. Her calmness and her knowledge proved to be most spectacular assets in our final weeks, and we could not have done it without her! 3. And on that note, we are also beyond grateful for the extent to which Ashley and IOTC went above and beyond for being "simply" our day-of coordinator! Thank you for being our ACTUAL five-month coordinator and bringing our wedding to life, from the big picture to the details! We toast your flexibility, your quick thinking, your feedback, and your genuine smile. And to come back to our presents, beautifully arranged in our hotel room at the end of our night, was the best treat in the world!

I worked with Icing On the Cake Events when Rebecca did our day of coordination for our wedding!…read moreShe is so organized and GREAT with people, so both our guests and our vendors really liked working with her! We had quite a large wedding party to manage at the rehearsal dinner, and she did a terrific job of herding the many cats, as I like to call it. Most importantly, she is the sweetest spirit and really made me feel at ease as the bride. Her communication was great, with quick response times, just a text, call or email away if I had a detail to run past her. I knew she was taking care of everything, so I was able to relax and enjoy the day. Several people remarked that I seemed amazingly calm that day, so I know that this is in large part to the complete and total confidence I had in Rebecca :) Love her!!!

I was so delighted with my experience working with Rahn and Kelly. They provided lighting for our…read morewedding reception at the Orcutt Ranch last October. Rahn was so professional, he worked very well with our other vendors, and the final product really speaks for itself. They were so flexible and creative in the lighting solutions for our venue. Plus, my husband and I were on a tight budget, and Rahn provided very straightforward pricing options to helps us stay within budget. We were so pleased and would highly recommend their services to others looking for lighting for their event!

Rahn lit up our wedding reception in our friend's backyard on September 30, 2012. Before booking…read moreLighting By Rahn, we really weren't sure what to do since we were on a small budget, but we reached out to Kelly (who owns the business with her husband, Rahn) to see what they might be able to offer. She assured me they could be flexible and work within our means -- and they they delivered! A few months before the wedding we scheduled a walk-through of the space with Rahn. There was a minor miscommunication in scheduling, but it was the only hiccup in an otherwise drama-free experience. When we met Rahn at the walk-through, we immediately felt comfortable with him. We could tell he is an expert at what he does -- he understood what we wanted and needed -- and was honest about what we didn't need. In the end, we had the simple, magical lighting we envisioned, and all for a great price. The friends who hosted our wedding liked the lighting so much that they've hired him for other events/parties and even had him install some permanent lighting for them, as well! If you're looking for an honest, reputable lighting expert, Lighting By Rahn is a great choice!

I had the opportunity to work with Kevin of Unplugged Event Lighting for a client's upscale…read morebirthday reception on 10/31/14 in Granada Hills. Kevin is extremely professional and knowledgeable. He was able to answer all of my questions and provide me with an accurate assessment of the quantity of uplighting I would need to achieve my desired results. We were able to transform a lacklustre space into an amber colored oasis. My client raved about the lighting when she arrived at the event and it was definitely a focal point of the room. As a wedding and event designer I will definitely be using Kevin again and recommend you contact him for all of your lighting needs. DeNeitra Burnett Savvy Events, LLC

Seriously, the lighting transformed the reception room into a wedding from a movie scene! My reception venue was pretty to begin with, but the walls and ceiling were all stark white. I wanted the reception to look like a classy lounge and I got exactly what I wanted from Unplugged Event Lighting! The colors were exactly what I wanted and the lighting alone made the wedding reception look like a million bucks. My family and friends raved about the ambiance of the reception for weeks and it's all thanks to the amazing lighting job. I cannot express my gratitude to Kevin for making my wedding day beautiful, the way I always imagined it would be! If you are considering lighting for your wedding or party, you cannot go wrong with these guys!

After following Rachel for years on Instagram (I've always been wow-ed by her dessert tables), I…read morefinally decided to hire her for my baby shower. That was honestly the best decision ever! First off, working with her was a dream. She was always extremely attentive when it came to communication, both via text and email. I don't think I'd go more than 24 hours without hearing from her, which is something rare now a days for some reason. Also, she breaks down prices concisely, which I really appreciated because there were no hidden fees or surprises when it came to the grand total. She also works with you from start to finish, scheduling an initial planning meeting (this took place at our venue) where she listens and jots down what you expect as well as adding her own artistic design/thought. She even took charge and kept in constant communication with my venue manager, which took a lot of stress of my shoulders. The day of the shower, the dessert table was absolutely beautiful! The desserts were intricate, unique, DELICIOUS, and you can just tell she put in so much effort when it came to every aspect. I got so many compliments on this. I highly recommend Rachel J Special Events, Inc. for any and all occasions! She's just such a professional at what she does.

Not only did I love love the outcome, my guests couldn't stop talking about how beautiful the whole set up was. She put so much detail into everything. Everything came out better then I had imagined. I can't thank you enough Rachel for making my baby's party better then I imagined!

On the day of my wedding, she sent me texts...updating me on vendors and issues that came up but when she sent me these issues, she included options of ways that they can be fixed for me to chose.

THANK YOU KATHERINE! Much respect, Mike

I could write volumes about how helpful Katherine was for my recent wedding, but I'll try to keep…read moreit somewhat concise! From the very first phone call, I felt completely comfortable and assured that she would be the right fit for my then-Fiance and I. This was further cemented when we had our walk-through with her at our venues a month before the big day, and all of my wedding jitters were calmed (as they were many times again in the future!). I'll give you a little background on my Husband and I - just so that you understand how accommodating and wondrous Katherine was. Many brides care about the details, but as a graphic designer & photographer, details are my middle name! I had quite an extensive list of to-do's and wanted things to look a certain way - so it was always my concern whether or not I would find THE person who could make that vision come true. On the other hand, my Fiance (like many grooms) was easy going and didn't even think about decorations. Regardless of our personal styles, Katherine was the best thing we decided on for our wedding day! She helped make our vision come true - and wowed my Husband, our families, and of course myself in the process. She not only managed the decorations but also kept track of vendor's schedules, oversaw final payments, organized the ceremony & reception setup and breakdown, and even fixed my unruly hair at the end of the night. She can do it all! The wedding day brought its hiccups (it happens!) but Katherine helped us make the best decisions to make it run smoothly. Our reception site served dinner incredibly late - which meant that our vendors were fed even later. Somehow even with this annoying setback, Katherine continued to work through the evening (with hardly any food people!) and we thank her tremendously for it. It almost goes without saying (but I have to) that we highly recommend working with Katherine - she will make your day even more special! We only wish that we could work with her all over again! :)
