She exceeded my expectations. Right from the beginning when I contacted her for a quote she was professional & punctual with her responses. At first, I emailed her pictures of what I'd like mine & bridesmaids bouquets, flower crown & groom/groomsmen boutonnières to look like. She gave me a respectable timeframe of when my proposed contract would be done & was very prompt. Unfortunately, due to my budget, I couldn't afford all of the beautiful flower choices/arrangements Alicia suggested. So, Alicia was kind enough to modify my floral arrangements & work within my budget. I had to change my bridesmaids bouquets to sunflowers & it worked out PERFECTLY!!! Ironically, it was my late grandfathers favorite flowers, so I knew it was meant to be changed & he was with me on my special day. It made a lot of my family tear when they saw the bouquets. It was very sentimental for me. My wedding was in October & she matched all of the flowers to a fall wedding. I would highly recommend, Alicia! She was a pleasure to work with!

Flowers were beautiful and Mom loved them.

I recently got to experience the professionalism and expert services of Catering Beyond Borders as…read morethey were hired by my sister and her husband for their wedding in early 2019. Their entire operation was clearly well organized, planned, and detailed. Every individual employee I interacted with was respectful, friendly, helpful, and professional. I was thoroughly impressed that no detail was ignored. An example: The dinner tables each had a set of decorations involving a mirror. Catering Beyond Borders had window cleaner, paper towels, and rubber gloves for each employee to wear while handling and wiping down the mirrors, in order to be absolutely certain that every mirror was spotless for the display. I know this sounds like a small thing, but I feel it is attention to all of these small details that added up to a superb event. The wedding planner, Esther, was a fantastic organizer and coordinator. Any time one of us had a question, she had the answer. When necessary she would not hesitate to delegate tasks to someone else on the team. She was also exceptionally calm and collected throughout the entire process. The lead bartender, Kyla, was knowledgeable, professional, and flexible with the provided beverages. We had a unique scenario for a few of the kegs as they had a different type of connector than the industry standard, and she took it all in stride and there were no problems. I have been a bartender for a number of years in my past and I was thoroughly impressed with Kyla and the other bartender's efficiency and professionalism behind the bar. I did not personally get a chance to meet the head of the kitchen staff, but I did witness him constantly communicating with his team and keeping everyone on schedule. The food itself was also wonderful and there was plenty to go around - many other guests mentioned to me that they also sincerely enjoyed the food. To reiterate, I am completely and thoroughly impressed with the entire Catering Beyond Borders organization and their professional skill and talent for catering and coordinating my sister's wedding. I am not yet married, but I can say with certainty that when I do and am planning a wedding, Catering Beyond Borders will be the my first call for catering and coordinating services. Thank you!

Hiring Krystle was by far the best decision we made during our wedding planning! I honestly don't…read morethink we could have done it without her! The first time we met Krystle in person, she felt like someone I had known my whole life, it was like I was planning my wedding with one of my closest friends. She was so attentive, on top of all the details, and made our planning process so much easier! As an interior designer, I had a very clear vision of what I wanted our wedding to look like, and Krystle helped bring all of that to life. It's fair to say that I'm extremely particular (so much so that I gave her a PowerPoint presentation of all the décor for our wedding) and she never once made me feel like I was too much, or like she didn't have time for all my thoughts and questions and emails. The vendors that she suggested were amazing, we loved them all, and she did such an amazing job the day of our wedding dealing with all the vendors so we could just enjoy the day. If there were any problems during our wedding, we almost had no idea because Krystle was just that good!! Krystle honestly went above and beyond anything I could have ever hoped for. She made sure our day ran smoothly, stuck to a schedule, and during all of it was so sweet and so kind. She even went out of her way to pick up tables and chairs for us when I made a last-minute decision to add specialty chairs to our sweetheart table. I could go on and on about how amazing she is! Towards the end of our wedding I mentioned to my husband how it was going to be weird having to say goodbye to Krystle because she had become such a constant in our life during the planning process - and to me that just tells you how amazing she is as a coordinator! I would recommend her to anyone looking for a coordinator, she's so fantastic at what she does!

On the day of the wedding, it never felt like there was something wrong or that we had to worry about much. I would highly recommend getting coordinator and choosing Krystle!

The mix of music at our wedding was just what we'd wanted and Stephen did a great job MCing and helping direct the evening along. We were on a budget (who isn't?) and found Media Jockeys to be very reasonable and a good value for our money.

I really had no idea exactly what I wanted, but after our first call and her suggestions I was very excited about the offerings and kept all Dani's excellent suggestions. Pricing was absolutely reasonable. They arrived on the day of the event promptly, set up everything beautifully on the serving space and were nothing but gracious and courteous the whole time. The guests LOVED the food. Especially the marinated chicken thighs and the potato salad. I even received comments from guests the veggie tray was one of the most beautiful they had ever seen. All the other dishes were delicious as well and there was more than enough to send leftovers home with everyone who wanted some. Busy Bee elevated my event into something even more special by providing such amazing food. I never worried once about any part of catering, as they were the easiest to work with all around. I would absolutely use them again and likely will!
