We needed a venue that has multiple sections as the wedding has both traditional ceremony and ethic ceremony. We had different groups working on different things at the same time. The only downside of this venue is their sound system does not match the quality and beauty of the venue. The audio of the sound system was more of a distraction and than an enhancement. On the day of the rehearsal, I had asked for the system to be checked to ensure it meets our needs. I was assured that everything was checked out well. On the day off, the mic went on/off during the whole wedding ceremony. It was so annoying and distracting. Finally, the system went out by itself, which was better. Even if there is no enhancement of the audio, at least no distraction. So, talked to the DJ about it and I was told they were informed that the wireless tends to have that issue. Instead of fixing it, they just let it be a distraction. It very disappointing experience. They assured me that we will be using a wired mic during the reception and it should be okay. NOT! The mic was so low that we could not hear the speaker. Unfortunately, there were so many wonderful messages that were shared and only a few tables close to the speakers could hear the message. I was this place up their sound system to match the elegantness of the venue. The sound system seems to downgrade their entire venue value.

The Flower Lab is hands down my favorite florist. The owner, Katie, is one of the kindest people…read moreyou'll ever meet, an incredibly talented artist, and a wonderful business owner who genuinely cares about her team and community. Her floral designs are unlike anything you'll find at a typical florist. Instead of feeling generic or mass-produced, every arrangement feels unique, natural, and thoughtfully created. You can truly see her artistry in every piece. I've used The Flower Lab multiple times and have always been beyond impressed. Every arrangement is stunning, memorable, and beautifully crafted. If you're looking to send flowers to someone special--or simply want something truly extraordinary--I can't recommend The Flower Lab highly enough. Her creations leave a lasting impression and are something the recipient won't soon forget.

We booked Audio Innovations for our wedding, and I was unhappy with the service we received. Jaron…read morewas our DJ, and while he did show up day of and he did play the correct songs for our ceremony and played music through the night, there were key things that happened that I really take issue with: 1. Lack of responsiveness during the planning process and general lack of professionalism. 2. Day of service was late (everything else was promptly on time) and when our event started our DJ ran off to re-park his car. He thought the music was going, but it had stopped entirely. First, Jaron was NOT responsive to my emails. We booked months in advance, filled out the questionnaire they sent us, and sent over certain music we wanted played. Audio Innovations would take days to weeks to get back to me, and usually only after I pinged them to see if they had gotten my emails. I further had a hard time scheduling a call to make sure Jaron and I were on the same page as he never responded with a time that would work for him. A few weeks before our wedding, I finally called him and did get through, and I talked him through what I wanted to be played during our ceremony. In talking to him, it was evident that he hadn't looked at our playlists or the questionnaire we had sent him, but he did look at everything while we were on the phone. I left that call thinking that he understood my expectations, but made myself available should he have more questions. The day before my wedding, I get an email late in the day asking me about my music preferences for the ceremony, despite this being clearly outlined in the questionnaire that we had filled out, the playlists we had sent, and the call we had. At this point, I'm rather angry because this is a question that could have been addressed much earlier, and in fact, was addressed in the information I had sent weeks ago. Taking a direct approach, I sent an email explaining how I was frustrated with my experience in working with Audio Innovations. In return, the morning of my wedding, I got an email from Jaron about how he was very busy and couldn't respond to my email since it is peak wedding season and they are a small business. I found this to be further irritating - you work in this industry just like other, similarly busy vendors. At this point, on the morning of my wedding, we were making back up DJ plans. He did show up, but he was late in getting to the venue. The wedding started at 6 pm, but no music started until 6:10, and then he left to go repark his car. He left the music running, but it had stopped long before he got back, leaving a long silent gap while my guests mingled. Luckily, that was the last of the problems, and he did play the correct music for our ceremony and kept the music going though our event. However, given all the other trouble, I'd recommend booking a different, more professional DJ service.

Long overdue - but I stand by my initial review. Working with Jaron and Audio Innovations was a…read morepleasure.

We couldn't have been more pleased with Kevin and the ceremony he provided. Planning a wedding is…read morestressful, but doing it from another state makes it that much more difficult. My fiance and I struggled to find the right officiant until Kevin was recommended. From the beginning, he was friendly, engaged, and insightful. He took the time to get to know us (over the phone, then in person upon arrival to the island), even offering premarital counseling and resources. Kevin was the perfect blend of religion and personality we were looking for in our officiant. He walked us through all aspects of the ceremony, shared an extensive list of readings and vows we were able to customize, and even helped include my fiance's daughter into our ceremony. His experience working on the Roche Harbor staff provided insight into aspects of the wedding venue we hadn't even thought about. To say we had an ideal ceremony wouldn't do it justice. Kevin made everyone comfortable, with just the right mix of humor, sincerity, and religion. He came prepared and told our story perfectly. Kevin brought in aspects of our past, touched on the major themes that were important to us as a couple, and connected with our guests. We had SO MANY people compliment us on the quality of our ceremony and specifically call out our officiant. I wholeheartedly recommend "I Do ... San Juan Weddings" if you're looking for someone to provide a customized ceremony that fits you. Kevin was a real blessing and made our special day that much better!
