I unfortunately didn't have a good experience with the DJ at Premiere Party Entertainment of…read moreGreenville SC. It's partially because of covid. Initially, I chose the music for my 2020 wedding in Greenville. We planned a 1920s theme and a lot of jazz music. We canceled because of the lockdowns and decided that we would reschedule it later. Sean promised to come back and do our wedding anytime in 2021. We were still couldn't schedule for 2021 so we pushed it back to 2022. I moved to Asheville because my father's health is declining and he can't travel far. I didn't get any complaint from any of the Greenville vendors that we previously paid except, Sean. He didn't have anyone available at first. He recommended I get a vendor in Asheville. It felt to me like he was brushing me off because he didn't want to refund us and didn't want to come. This initiated the tension between us. Eventually, he adjusted his schedule and allowed for one of his DJs to come. I think this upset him because he had to work on a Sunday in order to make it work. I was very emotional in my emails trying to convince him to help us. Somehow, he mistook them for something negative. I decided to change the music for this wedding. I asked him to reset the account. I redid it and had a lot of waltz music because we're planning to have a ballroom lesson. The ballroom instructors we hired cancelled our lessons and didn't give us a refund. I explained to Sean about the situation with the dance school but because I was so angry about it he thought I was being rude to him. So I had to redo my music choices again; my husband helped pick out songs. We didn't get a chance to hear them anyway because people were leaving early. Sean uses Spotify for his DJing. I honestly would recommend only picking out the special songs and the dedication songs. Songs in the "must play" don't necessarily get played even though he allows for 55 choices. I would only pick out like 20 songs and just let him fill in the rest with songs from whatever genre or style that you choose for your reception. When I looked at the Spotify list and didn't see a lot of the songs that I wanted. I decided to remove a lot of songs that he picked to be in the lists. I'm perfectionistic and felt like I had every right to voice my concern about it. But the wedding planner and Sean got really upset with me. I thanked him for his help many times, apologized for getting upset, and I even sent him emails before praising his company. He called the Friday beforehand yelling, threatening to cancel, refund, and give us a list of songs to play on our own. Worrying if my DJ would come or not, really ruined the weekend for me. The conversation was not professional; my husband and mother-in-law who heard it agree. I said many times to not take it personal; I was upset about the music not him. I figured something had just gone wrong with what I was seeing on the Spotify list. It's a bad memory that I wish just hadn't happened. And I guess it's because I had to change this music over three times. They did play our important songs but also stuff I didn't choose that didn't fit. He kept saying how I picked up so much music that he couldn't play it all but yet he had time to play songs at the wedding that I did not choose? That doesn't make any sense to me. I told him my dad was sick, could barely walk me down the aisle or father-daughter dance. But he would still treat us like this? I think he has done this before to other clients who pay in full and something goes wrong. Then he tells us not to leave reviews but that's ethically wrong.

Essentia was absolutely perfect and I would recommend Essentia to ANYONE for ANY occasion. The staff is amazing, the atmosphere is wonderful, and the decor is breath-taking.

I did not even want to give 1 star and this is why!:…read more The only things that this vendor provided were the two dance lessons included with the wedding contract and the initial consultation! When trying to pay for this venue, we hit some snags financially since I was in between jobs. I would call at least a week in advance to let her know if a payment would be delayed. (This only occurred twice) Even with the notice Starlina was very rude and not flexible at all. We tried to let that go, and we did. We did notice that she only seemed concerned after we paid. She was not friendly at all until she was paid in full. Then we wanted more dance lessons to show off. We forked out for those lessons too! When we realized our budget was getting out of hand we tried to reason with her. Now full disclosure here, yes in the venue contract it says no refunds. But here is our problem with that. We just let her know yesterday about our change in plans because of budget. Our wedding was not even going to be until October 2016 and we booked her in August of 2015. Well over a year in advance and we cancelled well in advance as well. She did not even want to do a refund even on the dance lessons, which no contract was ever signed saying we could not get our money back. (We only did 3 out of 10 lessons) What seemed so outrageous is that anytime we tried to schedule lessons, she was ALWAYS BOOKED!!! I would get off work at 5pm but we had our dances at 7:30pm. Then every time we talked to her or other customers it seemed she always had some kind of event going on almost all week! So we knew she had plenty of time to fill the day with another event and fill our unused lesson days with other people. The thing about all of this is that we were not even asking for all of it back, at the very least we only wanted half back. Plus, the 2 times I met her mother she would be rude to her in front of me. Be family and do what you do, but be professional in front of customers, no speaking down to your mother! Now she is mad about the review on Wedding wire and disputed it. Good luck because I will just do this every where else! Oh and before she tries to say she offered to help us with the dance lesson money back, she only did so after I told her I would post a review and let people know our experience! (I have the email to prove it!)

David and team brought this connection together! This venue is absolutely gorgeous. From the moment you walk towards the door, you see at the corner of the building, the unassuming yet illuminating Zen sign presence. The foyer greets with such high beautiful ceilings (and walls) with the artistic lighting. There are two other space to enter. If you continue straight, you enter a much larger area that has on its walls, wonderfully large paintings of flowers evoking both energy yet calmness. I discovered that Jeff, the owner had painted the walls and can see the nice brushstroke patterns along with the majority of the flower paintings. We were for the most part in this area which is shaped like a gigantic "L" and you would go further in and to the bottom foot area find a large bar awaiting. There was also a table of desserts and a musician. There were the hors d'oeuvre standing tables yet with nice high seats along with the comfy chairs. We had our networking, food, drinks, and murder mystery here. I've been to Zen many times in the past for several different non-profit/charity events and always so well done. This room depending on the size of attendees is an ideal spot for these types of reception/activities. If you had gone over to the right from the foyer, you would enter a huge space that has on the complete opposite side some large screen that projector is displaying and lighting. There are tables with seats and this brings back memories of when the company I worked for held their holiday parties here and this would also double up as a dance floor! There's another bar right underneath the staircase, and if you walk up the stairs, not only do you have a great view of this room (and if you were trying to search for someone dancing, walk up the stairs and gently look for your man) it also has a private suite that can act as the bridal room since such great furniture, a kitchen and bathroom complete with shower (so if you start getting cold feet, you can turn the heat on your feet)! Not only does Zen have these different space and levels, they even have an exterior space, their own zen garden. I've never noticed it before since other times I've been here, it would be dark and couldn't see OR since it was December, they had tents with heaters. There are many different options to use this beautiful place and Jeff is extremely down-to-earth and inviting. Besides hosting such fancy events, he also has hosted various dance parties. If you or the organization/company/group you identify with have a need for up to 350 people, this would be ideal!

She had Paul as her swing dance teacher at Clemson University and she liked his energetic style. It turns out, he's so much more than a DJ. He brings another DJ and he was the master of ceremony. He made the whole evening flow in a masterful way. Even months before the wedding, he walked through the venue with us, made suggestions for the flow of the evening. He face timed with the bride and groom a few times and learned their love story. Then he told it like a professional story teller at the reception, which our guests loved. He was also a day of coordinator. He met vendors when they arrived and sent the wedding party down the aisle. He had a true read on the pulse of the ceremony, the cocktail hour, and the dinner reception, then he adapted as necessary to keep an even flow of events. I planned this event from out of town and Paul made it easy and seamless. We originally had looked for a band, but using Heirloom for our wedding entertainment was the best decision we made. It was a magical evening. If you are planning a wedding in the upstate area, or driving distance, call Paul. You will not regret it.
