They don't come any better! Our daughter's wedding was absolutely perfect and the reason is that…read morewe were lucky enough to find Jamie to help us coordinate it all. While the bride and groom live in Philly, both sets of parents are out of town, so this was a destination wedding for us and most of the guests. Thereby we knew we'd need very experienced "boots on the ground" to pull off the caliber of wedding we envisioned. We figured the best place to get verifiable wedding planner recommendations was to ask wedding coordinators at the venues toured: Lauren James Events was the first name suggested by most, and after our initial telephone conversation it was easy to see why. Jamie is delightful; knowledgeable, professional, experienced, well-connected, warm, and easy to talk to. Honestly, she left no stone unturned. Although our wedding was a year and a half out when we hired her, and in the beginning she had clients with more pressing needs than ours, we were always made to feel that we were a priority. Our wedding was on a holiday weekend and Jamie helped us to secure some of the city's most highly sought vendors promptly so we wouldn't be closed out. From the get-go, Jamie worked with us in establishing and organizing our parameters - number of guests, style of reception, and met with the bride and groom to talk about their vision and expectations. She listened so well that her recommendations always were spot on. She created meeting and planning timelines with our vendors, and maintained a meticulous spreadsheet of expenditures. She attended vendor meetings along with us, taking scrupulous notes, and worked with us to negotiate contracts. She advised us well as to where we should be spending money and did not hesitate to steer us away from the things we didn't need. She established wedding blocks at the most central hotels for out of town guests and kept track of the bookings, so we knew who was staying where. She also assisted in planning the other events for the wedding weekend. In the week leading up to the wedding we were talking several times a day to tweak additions, guest cancellations and ensure that everything we expected came to fruition. She produced welcome bags for out of town guests and delivered them to the hotels. She surprised the bride and groom by having their room upgraded to a phenomenal suite. When a few glitches arose that week (as they inevitably will), she resolved them and only afterward told us so we didn't have to stress over details. On the wedding day, Jamie never left our side - arriving in the bridal suite beginning early morning with the bridesmaids, orchestrating our hair and makeup people, the photographer and videographer, lunch delivery for everyone, rode the wedding trolley with the bridal party to the bride and groom's first look and off-site photo sessions, at the venue for formal photos, managed the catering staff and band so that the timing of everything ran smoothly. We actually had to beg her to take a break and eat dinner (I still don't think she ever did: we owe you dinner, Jamie!) . Throughout our entire process, she never once lost her cool and as a result, the bride and groom and their parents were able to relax and completely enjoy our family's special day, stress-free. Weddings are highly emotional occasions, but thanks to Jamie the only emotions we experienced were total elation and tears --of joy. It is truly money well spent, and we cannot thank her enough

They were rude, condescending and unprofessional. Don't let them ruin your wedding day like they did ours.

He called the day before the wedding to go over everything, including songs I did and did not want played and how to pronounce everyone's names.

We cannot recommend him enough!

Yes, the price is a bit of an investment, but it is worth every dime and then some. She was on time, super professional and easy to work with, and made sure everyone who wanted a balloon got one, including a few adults. She got the kids excited and kept their attention the whole time she was there. She also had a lot of the adults getting their phones out to take videos of her making the balloons because they were so amazed. And the balloons themselves... How does someone come up with this stuff? They were incredible. People expected swords and dogs, not rattles with light up balls and erasers inside, spidermen that couldve been dolls, and fish on poles. From the crazy hats to the princess crowns to my husband's laser gun, everything she churned out was so cool and different. We'd hire her again in a heartbeat. From booking to event, it was easy and fun and I can't wait to have another reason to use this company again.

The most important thing at a wedding is the food and then the venue....the NEXT most important thing is the entertainment. If you have ever been to a wedding with bad entertainment then you can understand what I'm talking about....I have been at weddings with bands which are much more expensive then a DJ not play music for 10 minutes during their break. Not Steve he started and didn't finish until the end of the night. From the beginning Steve had everybody dancing which for a wedding is critical. He met with us and answered any questions we had and pronounced everybody's names correctly. Again I can not speak highly enough of him and his services. Everybody that asks for a recommendation for a DJ i will gladly point them over to Steve and company. A DJ can make a good wedding great and that's what Steve did with my wedding. Truly amazing and a great guy and great service.

The DJ (Fred) and owner was completely unprofessional. There were numerous major issues. First off,…read morea week before our wedding I filled out the song request portal with our ceremony and reception requests, the ceremony requests were fine and he "received" them, yet apparently he did not receive our reception music request list. (One would think if he didn't have the request sheet, he would notify us before the wedding). The night started with the entrances, the maid of honor placed the wireless microphone on the table in the dressing room and left it there as she ran out to make the entrance. When it was time for her to do her speech, she had to borrow the DJs microphone for the speech. After the speech, the DJ only cared about the microphone and went straight to the bride and said that the microphone is worth $600, how did she lose it? I need it back now. While yes, a mistake on the maid of honor's end, the microphone was safe and returned to the DJ within seconds of the speech's concluding. Additionally, After an hour and a half of very dated disco music, where no one under 65 was dancing, we made several comments to the DJ about playing more songs in line with our requests and he aggressively stated " you didn't fill one out" , clearly we did as he received our ceremony requests. Instead of being professional and saying ok let's fix this issue and make the night right and fix the vibe, he decided to stick to his guns and refused to play our and guests requests for more dance / club / higher energy / upbeat music. Upon numerous requests to fix the playlists he made comments like "do you want me to pack up and leave" , "if you think you can do a better job then do it", "I'm getting complaints" to the bride and guests. He also had the gall to constantly say his opinions and commentated over the microphone. For instance, during the cake cutting, the Maitre d' and the photographer were talking to the bride and groom and he had the guts to say "whelp guess they need explanation on how to cut a cake", and that was just one of several openly broadcasted back handed comments made. Literally at the final hour, he started to play more consistent modern songs but by that point it was late in the night, and people were bored and leaving. I don't know if this was a bad night for him, but even if he didn't get our request sheet, make an honest and professional effort to fix the situation and make the client happy. In a business of word of mouth and where every venue is filled with potential new clients, many were left wanting a better experience, and were unimpressed. He was paid in advance so didn't care much apparently. Its a shame we had high hopes for the evening, Fred let us down and was a major regret in our hindsight.
