Great to work with!…read more I can't say enough about Shumaker. They did the lighting for our daughter's wedding and it involved last minute changes due to the weather forecast. I called them on Thursday (wedding was Saturday) and they were so obliging, even though they had other weddings that day, too. The day of set up, they called me from the site because they saw an issue with the tents that were being set up (a different company). They discussed their concerns with the tent people and together they worked it out perfectly. This was above and beyond Shumaker's call of duty. It rained on the big day but all was well because of Shumaker! Great people to work with!

We recently had the pleasure and privilege of working with Dustin Imhoff of Shumaker & Associates…read moreEvent Planning for our daughter's wedding at the Casa di Fiori of the Inn at Leola Village on 6/6/15. From inception to execution, Dustin was the consummate professional, working diligently to ensure that our daughter's dreams of an "in-door garden wedding" came to fruition. Seeking input from us, our wedding planner, Briana Dixon of Nouvelle Weddings, Kaci Willwerth, the wedding coordinator at the Inn at Leola Village, and Tracie Boyer, the Inn at Leola Village's floral designer, he was able to transform our ideas into reality using his amazing design talents. Beginning early in the morning of the wedding day, he and his team brought trees, bushes, plants, flowers, soil, mulch, sod, stone pavers, bricks, fountains and landscape lighting inside the Casa di Fiori, transforming it into a truly magical venue that really had to be seen to be believed. The result exceeded even our highest expectations and there honestly was not a single thing that could have been improved upon. Every guest commented on the amazing "fairy tale garden" atmosphere of the venue. Needless to say, we were delighted with all aspects of our interactions with Dustin and his team and we are confident in stating with certainty that if you are in need of a motivated, talented, creative and quality-driven event planning team, you need look no further than Shumaker & Associates! - Ann & Bill Unwin, York,PA

DJ was open to requests from the guests and did their best to play all of the songs requested by guests. The lighting was awesome and was able to provide the mood that we were looking for without being overbearing. The vibe was playful and encouraging to get guests up and on the dance floor. Group dance songs were played throughout and were very tastefully placed and used when the dance floor seemed to become bare. Would recommend them to anybody asking about a DJ and would not hesitate to hire them for another event in the future.

You get 2 DJs for your event and they interacted with the crowd and had great music. We made a disc of specific songs we wanted played at various points throughout the night and they were great with that request. The best man wanted to do the Weird Al song "white & nerdy" and the DJs had the backing track for him to rap to. It was a hilarious highlight. Both guys had a knack for pacing the music so it wasn't all fast or slow songs. I would recommend them for any event. We had a large number of guests and everyone had a great time.

NIGHTMARE: What started as a promising partnership ended in outright disappointment. We found…read moreLittle's Catering (Chef Mark Little) through our venue's vendor list. In doing our research it was clear that Little's had very favorable reviews. We chose Mark after speaking with him. He came to our home and cooked a meal for us and our parents. Mark took notes while offering recommendations. Afterwards he said he would come back to our home for an additional tasting with the changes we made to the menu. Again, Mark cooked a great meal for my wife and I and discussed some other additions, such as the fact that now Mark would also be offering bartender services for our wedding. Things were going well to that point. A month before our wedding we started noticing change. Mark was less responsive and more stressed. For example, Mark posted a cryptic video on his social media page. He was teary-eyed, explaining that at the end of the year he would cease operations with the catering business to focus on his food truck operations. My wife reached out asking if things were OK. He claimed they were. Fast forward to 10/10, the day before our wedding, and Mark explained he would be onsite to setup around 2:30p. By 4pm Mark was a no-show. All we had was a text stating "Be there in 20 min." On the morning of 10/11, I received a text from my fiance at about 10am stating Mark would be at the venue soon. Concerning because dinner was to start at 6pm. Mark did not show until 12:30p. He was clearly flustered and stressed. Immediately things unraveled. Our his/hers drinks at cocktail hour weren't being mixed or garnished. He didn't bring coolers and ice as he said he would for beverages. By dinner it was a total $hit-show. The dinner was unprepared. It took 2 hours to get 100 people of 130 served. 3 tables (30 people) went without food! We were mortified. We asked for 5 vegetarian meals weeks prior, and about 45 min into the dinner I took notice those guests did not have dinners. It was clear he forgot. Our venue notified us the next day they knew we would be having issues because shortly before the dinner they received a frantic email from Mark asking to rent their flatware. Sadly, Mark was to provide a set of flatware that we thought would've matched our wedding nicely, so we had to settle for something different. As time went on, several of our wedding party and family confronted Mark in the kitchen. He was not able to hold himself together, they report. Mark left the venue and his poor employees, some of whom were in tears, to fend for themselves. Mark was to serve chicken picatta. He served a piece of chicken with melted cheese. He provided charcuterie that did not contain meat, and for some reason, his staff came and took the cheese cubes off the trays and back to the kitchen. Were we served that melted over our chicken? He used a carton of half/half creamer that belonged personally to someone in our wedding party and used personal Tupperware of ours to transport the food. Not sanitary at all. The food was bland and not what he made during our tastings. All in all, this review is long because of the comedy of errors associated with Mark's total failure to meet his contractual obligations at the bare minimum. My wife and I are deeply disappointed in Little's and Mark. He failed us and his staff miserably. Do NOT use this caterer OR his food truck services (Little Chateau Food Truck). I spoke to Mark, and he acknowledged his failure while apologizing in tears. Thankfully, my wife and I were able to secure a refund by disputing the charges with our credit card company. I hope others who have been victimized by Mark are able to do the same. Lastly, our venue removed Little's from their list of vendors and stated he is not welcomed back to their facility. Avoid Little's Catering, or like us, prepare to be ordering 20 pizzas for your guests, and having to relive the terrible experience over and over as your guests ask you about "that horrible caterer" and "did you get your money back" for weeks after.

His drinks were not only delicious but truly crafted with care. Our guests couldn't stop talking about them all night. He has such a warm, kind presence that made everyone feel comfortable walking up and ordering, and he brought such a fun energy to the event. His mobile bar setup was stunning and added such an elevated, stylish touch to our space. Every detail...from the beautiful glassware to the presentation of each drink, was clearly thought through and executed perfectly. One of our favorite parts? He didn't just cater to the adults; the kids were obsessed with his mocktails and loved getting their own "special drinks." It made the whole experience feel inclusive and extra memorable. Bryan also arrived early, was completely prepared, and made hosting feel effortless on our end. If you're considering Bowtie Barmates for an event, don't hesitate! Bryan is incredible. We will absolutely be booking him again!
