This review is well overdue for Balloon Works by Mary R. Such an amazing woman-owned business in…read morethe East Bay, set to help execute your event needs with the most precise details and design. Balloons are just one piece of the overall execution Mary can do! We've worked now with Mary for a few personal life events from baby shower, to birthday, to now a recent family retirement party. Mary understands the vision and importance of each and every special moment, and offers valuable suggestions and insight for your special day. She's a gem in the industry, and we're so happy our paths crossed because her work is consistently amazing. Mary is innovative, talented at her craft, and understands what each and every event needs in order to not only be successful, but flow with ease. The additional touches are what sets her apart from others. For example, we didn't have picture frames but had several pictures printed for a recent retirement party for my dad..she used corks to prop the pictures up table-side and that small and unique touch was such a conversation starter during speeches/dinner with our party guests, and added such a cool element to the overall tablescape. (My dad was in the wine industry) Looking forward to future kiddo parties with Mary!

Shannon saved our wedding over and over again -- we couldn't have asked for a better wedding…read moreplanned. From the beginning, she was amazing. She describes herself as a "mellow Type A", and that's really true. She's not in-your-face and intense like some of the planners we considered, and yet she gets the job done beautifully, is super on top of her stuff, and shines when obstacles arise (before and during day-of). We had a relatively complicated wedding, for ~130 guests, 2 completely different locations for ceremony and reception, and a lot of customization. Shannon was incredibly patient with us all the way, and truly understood what mattered and what didn't, and helped us create a day that truly looked like us. She also calmed us during the entire process, even when we hit major snags (like having the bar company cancel on us the week before the wedding) -- her expertise and know-how really came to shine during those times. All throughout, she was a pleasure to work with. We'd hire her over again and again. Thank you, Shannon, for your amazing work!

Review This team is NO. FREAKING. JOKE!!!…read more I had my wedding on May 11th and the day couldn't have gone more perfect, and that's thanks to this team. Jessica & LaShawna are freaking stars! The planning process was seamless. I was so impressed with the attention to detail at the wedding venue walkthrough. We walked the entire venue, bounced ideas off each other for placement of every single item, and built a schematic. They even measured the venue to know exact placement of tables, chairs, etc. Planning the wedding was so easy/smooth thanks to the planning tools and check ins. Our rehearsal was straight to the point and very easy. We didn't need the full two hours allotted by our venue because they were on top of everything! Then came the wedding day. Our bridal salon overlooked the venue, so we were able to see the progress throughout the day. THEY WORK HARD!! and I mean, they pay attention to every single little detail to make sure the place looks beautiful and perfect. It was so impressive, we all couldn't stop talking about it. The wedding day went seamless, on time, and without a single issue. Jessica and LaShawna were there every step of the way, speaking to each other through their own personal headpieces. If anything came up or if I had any questions, they were there and ready to help where needed. My wedding wouldn't have gone as well as it did without them, I promise. I feel so grateful to have had the best team out there!! We also decided to hire the CLE House cleanup crew which was fantastic as well! Janet did a great job and cleaning/tidying up fast and making sure we got back all of our stuff. Thank you so much for being the reason why my wedding day went so perfectly CLE House!!!
