There is no one in the world like Roey Mizrahi. We first hired Roey shortly after becoming engaged…read moreduring the winter of 2018, at the start of (what we thought would be) an 18-month lead up to our wedding. Little did we know, Roey would skillfully shepherd us through three years of pandemic related delays, vendor shuffles and other mishigas. At every turn, she kept us energized, positive and excited while also keeping us on track. Quite frankly, our wedding would not have been possible without her. She was the perfect curator, cheerleader and creative partner. Roey understood and expanded on our vision in countless thoughtful ways along the epic journey. She helped us source, communicate, and partner with a cadre of all-star vendors. Working seamlessly to interface between the two of us, our vendors and our venue. We lost track of how many calls, emails and design meetings we had over the years, but she brought the same level of kindness, patience and attention to every single conversation. When the weekend of our wedding finally arrived, Roey and her entire team made magic and moved mountains. The team brought a level of unprecedented professionalism and understated showmanship to every element of the fête. Roey's warm kindness kept us supported and smiling in the quiet moments between the big ones. Her inventive and collaborative approach to wedding planning is truly second-to-none. She is in a class of her own. We will be forever grateful for the truly special touch that Roey brought to the planning and execution of our favorite weekend of all time.

PLEASE save yourself a lot of time and trouble and look elsewhere. Our experience with Roey was…read moreextremely frustrating. Over the two months that we were in touch with her, Roey consistently failed to communicate in anything remotely resembling a timely manner, citing every excuse under the sun. Here are some examples: 1. It was her birthday so her texts were delayed (?) 2. Her e-mail wasn't receiving messages (3 times) 3. Her e-mail wasn't receiving OR delivering messages (2 times) 4. Her website was down 5. She "lost" my fiancee's e-mail 6. Her phone wasn't delivering text messages (4 times) 7. Her assistant was supposed to take care of it 8. She was at a funeral 9. She was unexpectedly having a root canal You will notice that not a single one of these excuses has anything to do with her professional career. We know that wedding planners are busy and had Roey told us she was working an event or was tied up in preparations for another wedding, that would have been 100% acceptable. However, while we are also extremely understanding of the occasional personal emergency and chalked it up to a fluke the first few (!) times Roey failed to get back to us for personal reasons, we quickly started to run out of patience. After a pretty constant battle on my fiancee's part and a lot of very delayed, long-winded, and rather bizarre "explanatory" e-mails in response, Roey ultimately provided us with zero usable vendors. Everything we booked while under contract with Roey, we found ourselves. Needless to say, we terminated said contract. On July 19th she agreed to refund our $2500 deposit. On August 14th, after five e-mails from my fiancée as well as several text messages, we still hadn't received our money back. Guess what? Her assistant was supposed to take care of it. THEN apparently fraud was detected on her account and she had to cancel the check. However, as soon as we began to file with small claims court, (with the support of our lawyer who wholeheartedly agreed that we had a cut and dry case) the check was immediately "in the mail and on its way," though it still didn't make it to us for another ten days, FIVE WEEKS after we initially asked for it back. Here's the thing: a wedding planner's primary job is to make your life easier. Roey will not do that. We switched to Starling on Bond and they have been ten thousand times more helpful in the two weeks we've been working with them than in the two months we wasted with Roey. Please save your money and your sanity and trust someone else with your big day!

I picked Pranna on a Friday night. I had over 50 people to celebrate for me. He say there was no problem in getting my friends in at no cover PLUS a complimentary bottle service. I was nervous at first. But at the end everything went pretty smooth and all my friends had a great time dancing, drinking, taking pictures!. Things that I should warn you before you FINALIZE the place and event, the party broker is not responsible for EVERYTHING. - There's a service charge for a bottle service (I was not aware of that) - Make sure the Location you pick has a good selection of cocktails / drinks for your friends and check the average price for each drink (So your friends won't complain about the spot) Also some locations do charge a gratuity AUTOMATICALLY on your credit card. (I told my friends to bring CASH just in case) - Music and crowd. I would recommend him to my friends, he responded my emails pretty quick and he has the knowledge of most of the lounges / nightclub.

This review is long overdue for SAE. I hired them in 2023 for my wedding reception in 2023. I…read morecommunicated mainly with Jay and Kenny from the team, and both were very responsive and on top of things. I chose them due to their online portfolio and the MC's ability to speak fluently in both Cantonese and English. They did a great job switching back and forth throughout the party. The DJ did their best with the music/hyping up the crowd, seeing as both my partner and I aren't too big on dancing, so it was hard to pull in a crowd on the dance floor without us. However, there were some good dancing moments. I didn't have a wedding planner, so I planned out the timeline with the help of SAE's input as well as my photographer's. The SAE team was incredibly helpful, and I found out that they also handled my cousin's wedding many years ago!

If you search for that in the NYC/Long Island area, Sang Along immediately pops up with tons of highly rated reviews -- and for good reason. That was enough for us to give them a shot, and they did not disappoint. I had a pretty clear vision for our reception: 2000s R&B during dinner, EDM to get the party going, and Hip-hop/K-pop to close out the night. Jay did an incredible job blending the song suggestions we gave him with tracks from his own arsenal -- I was genuinely impressed by how well it all flowed. Kenny ran the room flawlessly. He worked seamlessly with our photographer and Maître d', and the transitions between dances, bouquet toss, dress changes, and everything else were smooth and well-timed. He even translated some parts into Mandarin for my cousins visiting from Taiwan, which was such a thoughtful touch. Sang Along has been doing this for nearly 20 years, and it absolutely shows. If you're a young couple who loves music, goes to festivals, and has sat through weddings where the DJ just blasts Top 40 and Pitbull to make up for low energy -- don't worry. Sang Along doesn't do that. The only thing I would say could be better is the photobooth. Quality of camera/backdrop wasn't that good as you can see in the photo.

Not only was Damian exceptionally pleasant to work with along the way by clearly outlining options and expectations, but he and his Team delivered at a caliber that drastically exceeded my already high expectations. In addition to ensuring that every step leading up to the wedding was seamless (and even fun), Damian clearly articulated the variety of options / services available, and he proactively ensured that we were confident and stress-free along the way. In addition to the preparation phase, Genesis Events simply just knocked it out of the park during the wedding itself. Each element that we decided to incorporate (e.g., saxophonist, electric violinist, DJ, photobooth, and much more), all performed and executed their roles at the highest degree possible. The wedding was an unbelievable success, and Damian's Team was instrumental in making it the best night of my life. The services offered by Genesis Events are nothing short of phenomenal. If you want the best wedding entertainment, you call Genesis Events.
