I was born in the U.S., part Italian Catholic, part Jewish. My husband was born in China. We had a lot of traditions to celebrate at our wedding and Red Wedding helped make sure everyone from every background felt totally included, with music, activities, and live translation of the whole reception. From the initial planning meetings with Steven, we knew we were in good hands. He was extremely organized and attentive to detail as we walked through the full reception timeline together, minute by minute. He was a good listener, understanding the type of event we wanted, which allowed him to make very helpful suggestions for the programming and timing. Steven was very generous with his time in these planning meetings, and the materials he prepped and shared (timelines, song lists, lists of key persons to recognize, etc.) meant that we knew in advance that everything would go smoothly on the big day. We also really appreciated that May, our DJ, and Sisi, our English/Mandarin MC, took the time to meet with us in advance of the wedding as well so that we were on the same page with everything from musical styles to how to pronounce the wedding party's names exactly right in both languages. My husband and I also really appreciated how well the Red Wedding team worked with our main contact at the reception venue and with our month-of wedding coordinator, taking the time to meet with them in advance to hash out logistics and set out clear roles & responsibilities. All of this planning meant that the reception itself was nothing short of spectacular! The grand entrance, the first dance, the mother-son dances, the anniversary game, the hora, the dance sets - everything was flawless! Seriously, I have been dreaming about my first dance with my spouse at my wedding since I was a little kid and - just like the title of our song - it was Perfect. May did an amazing job as DJ striking the right tone for all the different segments of the evening. Sisi was absolutely delightful as MC - she was energetic and funny and sweet but still kept the spotlight on us and our whole family, keeping both the American and Chinese sides engaged and partying together. Multiple guests came up to me after the wedding to say how impressed they were with the Red Wedding team, and we heartily agree! My husband and I are so grateful to Steven, May, and Sisi for making our special day so special, and we cannot recommend them highly enough!

We were most interested in their bilingual MC services (as we had multiple Mandarin only speakers at the event) and were extremely impressed by their ability to communicate in both English and Mandarin as well as transition between various parts of the evening. Their DJ was great and everyone had so much fun on the dance floor! Overall we highly recommend Red Wedding for MC/DJ services (especially for any bilingual MC!).

We booked her a year in advance and made a few changes up until last month. Shirley was very accommodating, and during our final meeting we confirmed all the colors and counts. She was organized and offered great suggestions for the family boutonnieres. All the flowers turned out beautifully, and the team did an amazing job matching the colors we asked for. We chose silk flowers for the arch, and they looked even better than real ones. We received so many compliments--everyone was practically fighting to take the centerpieces home! XD The photobooth picture quality was also excellent. Two attendants were available throughout the reception to assist guests, and even our shy older relatives went up to take photos. Everyone received a paper copy, and the team set aside an extra set for us to take home. We also received an online album, which made it easy to download all the photos. We highly recommend Jelo for anyone's wedding or event floral needs.

We absolutely LOVED working with Teissia and Firefly Events!!!!…read more We have the Firefly Events ladies to thank for the most beautiful, seamless and perfect day in our lives! From the moment we hired Firefly, we felt not one ounce of stress or worry for our wedding day. Who knew wedding planning could be so fun? Teissia is the sweetest, most creative, talented and organized person and it genuinely shows through her amazing events. She was there every single step of the way from the concept and design of the wedding, helping us find amazing vendors, organizing and facilitating all vendor meetings, and providing us with professional guidance in a non-obtrusive and tasteful way. With my husband and I both working full time jobs with a full travel schedule, she made planning SO easy and stress free. Our wedding was absolutely stunning and flawlessly executed and it we owe it all to Teissia's dedication to ensure that we had and ENJOYED the wedding of our dreams. We received overwhelming compliments on not only the design details, but how smooth, elegant and effortless the wedding day was. It was the best decision we could have ever made to hire Firefly Events to plan our wedding and feel so lucky to have worked with them. Teissia we love you! - Brett and Anthony

First, we'd like to say thank you to the other Yelpers who gave Firefly such great reviews, because we actually found Firefly through Yelp! After only one meeting we knew Teissia was the perfect person to help plan and execute our destination wedding in Jamaica. It was confirmed that we had chosen the right person when we got to Jamaica 6 months before our wedding and she had set up a perfectly curated list of vendor meetings from thousands of miles away. Throughout the entire process she was organized, thoughtful, attentive and very flexible. She went above and beyond and we definitely could have done it without her. She dealt with all of the vendors, language barriers, family and logistic issues with grace. Not to mention she was extremely pleasant to be around. We felt like we were planning our wedding with a friend. In short she made the experience of planning our wedding really enjoyable. The day of the actual wedding day went perfect and she completely shielded us from all the craziness that happens on that day so our families and us could completely focus on this celebration of our love. Thank you again Teissia, you are INCREDIBLE.

Over the summer, we got married in Tarrytown, NY, and one thing we both knew we wanted for our…read morewedding was a photo booth. We have always loved taking pictures together at photo booths at other weddings, so we were excited to have one at our own! After speaking with our wedding venue, they recommended a few photo booth companies, and we are SO happy they suggested Fun Booth LLC. From the moment we reached out, they were incredibly responsive and took the time to answer every single one of our questions. They truly went above and beyond to bring our dream photo booth to life! About a month before the wedding, we decided at the last minute that we wanted to incorporate an LED sign with our last name. Fun Booth recommended a company for us to purchase one from and had no problem setting it up for us on our wedding day. We love that the sign is now hanging in our apartment and is a special reminder of our wedding day! After the wedding, it was so much fun looking through the photo booth book our guests created with their photos and messages. We also received access to all of our photo booth pictures digitally a couple of weeks after the wedding, which was such a great way to relive the memories! We highly recommend Fun Booth LLC to anyone looking for a photo booth for their wedding. They were professional, responsive, accommodating, and helped make our wedding even more memorable. Thank you, Fun Booth, for being such a special part of our day!

Whatever you do...BOOK THIS COMPANY!…read more Molly @ MR was our absolute hero. Sometimes, you meet someone you connect with instantly who is so genuine and kind, and you know you need them in your orbit. Our very first call with Molly was 5 months out from our wedding, and it was like breathing a huge sigh of relief. Wedding planning is hard and stressful work -- and there are so many timelines and articles on the internet telling you you are always behind on something. To have a friendly face on our team who was there support us, tell us we're doing great, give us our own PERSONAL timelines, coordinate with our vendors, be there for all of our questions -- was something we were so grateful to have. We booked their coordination package, and will never forget Molly saying that at 60 days out, their goal is for us to enjoy the days leading up to the wedding rather than feel stressed. You don't get those days back! That really stuck with us and rang true! On the day of the wedding, Molly and Mina were on top of everything. We saw them running around and working hard, but somehow Molly was always there when I turned around needed her for a hug, or a smile, or a tide pen, or a much needed glass of champagne. She is incredibly committed but also calm, cool and collected. If you're planning a wedding, you will be in the best hands with Modern Rebel. Not only do they get the job done, they do it all with a very genuine and personalized approach that is unmatched.

Top Takeaway: Our wedding day would not have been as particularly and perfectly us without Cait and…read moreChelsea at Modern Rebel. They took seriously our devotion to blending our families' cultures and history into the aesthetic and spirit of the day, and they found vendors who not only respected but celebrated that commitment in their own professional expertise and expert execution. Prep Process: Cait and Chelsea paced the wedding planning process so that we had enough time to consider every tiny detail without every choice being overwhelming. Their onboarding process ensures that every element is covered, including details we never even knew to consider. They developed a Trello workspace that mapped out every month, every task, and every question we would cover over the course of a year. Every time we had a question about the next step, Cait already had a spreadsheet, questionnaire, or form prepared to document and structure our next move. Investment and Value: The overwhelming abundance of wedding vendors is the biggest reason we sought a wedding planner. We needed a partner and a guide to interpret our desires and connect us with the best professionals who would not only align with but celebrate and enhance the vision for our wedding. Cait and Chelsea overdelivered. Their vendor matching process was thorough, considerate, creative, and responsive. From deep experience, they know who will really connect with you. It's not just a simple vibe match, it's finding people with an artistic practice that resonates with you - photographers, florists, musicians, stylists, stationers - and they understand how to take the amorphous desires of completely green people and translate them into concrete asks. They built an experience that was more than the sum of its parts. Creativity: Cait and Chelsea treated every out-of-left-field idea seriously and saw a way to add it to our vision while staying true to our mantra: warm, thoughtful, and cohesive. We joked about, among other things, a sweetheart bench instead of chairs for our table; an art installation that captured the "invisible strings of love" instead of a guest book; to incorporate bingo into our escort cards; to project a video on a massive wall for our grand entrance. In Cait and Chelsea's hands, every small wish became a reality. They took us seriously, asked "Why not?", and they made it happen in grander fashion than we could've fathomed.

From the beginning, they asked thoughtful questions to understand our needs and wants better, took thorough notes, and many months later recalled and referenced even the smallest details that we had mentioned at our first meeting. They laid out timelines, kept track of contracts and budgets, the gave us a heads up on what we would be tackling next and when. I felt confident everything would come together at all times. There was never a frantic moment in the planning process. They knocked every vendor recommendation out of the park and never pushed us in any one direction and brought an element of calming reassurance to the whole process. They made everything so stress-free, and I felt like we were in such good hands the whole way through but especially on the day itself where they were both so present, calm, and helpful. I know people always say that something will go wrong on your wedding day and to just let go, but thanks to TKE I can honestly say nothing went wrong!
