Not only did they deliver exceptional customer service, they were very informative and thorough when discussing options. They showed up on time, did all the set up and then returned at the end of the night to pack up. The up-lighting on the walls looked amazing, as did the chair covers and ties, and the table linens. All the floral arrangemts for the wedding party and parents were stunning. Bonus, they made a beautiful arrangement with the leftover flowers for us to display as well as rose petals for the table decor. I would highly recommend them for any services you may need.

My original DJ backed out of my wedding a month before it happened. I found Great Events Arizona online the next day. I emailed them and they called me back right away. My fiance and I met with them the next weekend and we started talking about music and how the wedding should go. These two are very good at what they do. They know thier music and have a lot of experience. The staff at my venue complimented my choice of DJ numerous times. Everyone at my wedding had a great time. I definitely recomment Great Events Arizona as a wedding DJ. You will not be disappointed.

Our wedding was perfect! We chose Marisa and I Do Events to be our wedding planner. She was…read morefantastic from the beginning to the end! My husband and I wanted someone who would listen to our vision for the wedding, and deliver that vision. It was also important for us to have someone loving and accepting of the LGBTQ community. Marisa exceeded our expectations at every turn. We had about 120 guests at the wedding. The ceremony happened in a church venue, followed by appetizers and drinks, dinner, and dancing during the reception. Planning/Availability: Marisa met with us numerous times during the planning process to ensure we understood everything, and to make sure we had made all decisions about the wedding structure. She walked us through the process step-by-step, created a detailed cost estimate, and went over each line item on the cost estimate with us so we understood it. She made herself available any time we had questions (or my husband and I changed something, which happened several times). She was extremely professional, flexible, patient, and understood your wedding day is one of the best days of your life, and she and her staff worked hard to deliver high quality results, attention to detail, and magical moments. Budget: Prior to hiring Marisa, we researched the costs to deliver the type of wedding we wanted, including the venue, servers and catering for 120 people, flowers and decorations, photographer, videographer, bartender (see comments below), and a DJ. Then we hired Marisa. Marisa came in way under budget, several thousands under budget. Why the huge savings? Because Marisa has a large network of contacts in the wedding industry and we were able to save money by using her contacts. Not only did we save money using her contacts, but Marisa also owns a lot of wedding assets she made available to us for use. Rather than buying items, we were able to use many of hers, which also helped save us money. Bartender: My husband and I originally hired a bartender for the reception before we hired Marisa. The bartender canceled on us 5 days before the wedding. Marisa not only got us a bartender, she got us 2 of them for the reception. Having contacts makes all the difference. If you are thinking about getting married, I highly recommend Marisa and I Do Events. She is professional, organized, and can be trusted to help make your wedding day full of happiness without any of the stress. You won't be disappointed.

No one ever wants to have to request a refund for services not performed, but that is exactly the…read moresituation we found ourselves in with I Do Events. We wanted a wedding planner with gay wedding experience and hired Marisa Tristan, owner & primary employee, after she said she could deliver what we were looking for. She helped us secure a venue, but after that things fell apart. In our planning meetings, she had no agenda and it was up to us to bring up topics to discuss and remember deadlines. She took notes but later could not recall the information. One of the primary tasks she was hired for was vendor coordination, but most of our vendors said she never contacted them so this crucial task fell to us. We even asked her if she was going to contact a vendor and she'd say yes, but then never did. Our vendors had to contact us directly for direction during this busy time. We wouldn't have been able to have a wedding had we relied on Marisa to do it. She was also in charge of decorations which were a failure. She got the colors of the wedding flowers wrong(!), and other decorations were missing or not as agreed upon. She didn't get the guest count right so many chairs were left without decor. Her staff was extremely unprofessional: they walked into our dressing room without knocking, were rude to our other vendors, sat at the guest tables eating and drinking, then tore decor down early causing guests to think it was time to leave. We hired I Do Events for wedding planning and decorations, and all we got was substandard decor.
