I worked with Jamie as a photographer on two events in the past year. One in California and the…read moreother in Colorado. There is a good reason why they flew her into Colorado, Jamie performs with aplomb in challenging situations and she had challenges like no other in Colorado. The preceding week Boulder experienced one of the worst weather events in recent history, extreme flooding and infrastructure damage. Somehow, and I really don't know how, she was able to pull the two day event together with minimal issues. The second event, which was held in San Francisco. Happily took a more normal course in regards to extraneous and unrelated events. All of my interactions with Jamie were pleasurable and there was both open and positive lines of communications for both events. As a contractor that makes my job much easier and more pleasurable. Jamie's talent and passion for the work she does shines through with her smiles, joyfulness and unaffected manner. I hope I get to work alongside her in the near future.

I received the Reiki/Soundbath treatment with Arula. Instantly I felt very welcomed and at ease in…read moreher studio. I had a few moments to sit in her garden under the sun and ground before our session. I loved that thoughtful touch. I was pleasantly surprised that I was able fall into such a deep relaxed state, as it is not always easy for me with new providers, but Arula was amazing at setting the energy and helping me to feel safe under her guidance. I felt very protected and you can feel how knowledgeable she is in creating this healing environment. I booked another session and am looking forward to going back regularly.

The sound and reike healing that Arula provided me was really amazing and needed. The space was…read morevery comfortable and calm. The combination of different instruments, voice, aromas, verbal messages and energy work helped me to feel and release stress and grief that I had been carrying. I felt nurished and ready to move forward after our time together. Thank you so much for your healing!

I started taking Nikki's classes after visiting Symmetry Health Center in Alameda for some much…read moreneeded chiropractic care. Once I started to feel relief from the pain I was ready & itching to start working out again. Many signs from the universe were pointing towards beginning a yoga practice and thus found myself in one of Nikki's classes on a Monday evening. I am here to say I am HOOKED! Her kind demeanor and entrancing voice will guide you and push you to do things you could never imagine!! I look forward to her classes more than I have ever looked forward to any kind of physical training and will recommend her as a teacher to anyone that will listen!! If you get a chance to work with Nikki, jump... No run... NO FLY towards that chance! You will NOT regret it!

Somehow Nikki Borodi was secured as "entertainment" for my group's event and we were anything but…read moreentertained. Soon after she arrived (late), it was apparent that she was ill-prepared - though some thought she didn't possess the promised skills in the first place. Her performance was so lackluster and derivative that it was painful to watch. And she very nearly ruined our event. She was way out of her league; her kind of "talent" is best lent to street performances - if that. When asked why the performance was not as promised, Nikki made obvious fibs and turned frustrated and abusive. She then became belligerent, rude, and beyond unprofessional. I wish those in charge had checked references and social media about Nikki before engaging her. Some damage cannot be undone.

This was by far one of the best team building events we have ever held. It was so convenient, easy…read moreand FUN!! Michael, our Guac Off facilitator was so engaging and funny without being cheesy. He was an absolute delight and my colleagues enjoyed him so much, you can really tell when someone is enthusiastic about their work (vs just being a job)!! Guac Off was very responsive and patient with my many questions and the changes to the attendees/timeline. Michael sent over all the pictures the next day. Can't say enough positive things about the whole event. Thank you again!!

This activity achieved the three main components of any good offsite, it was collaborative, engaging and fun. Our facilitator Jessi was amazing and had everyone smiling and laughing the entire time, and she was very responsive and accommodating leading up to the event. Highly recommend, especially if you want to try something different.

Monaique is such a professional and also an amazing person. If we could give her 10 stars, we…read moreabsolutely would! We worked with Monaique to coordinate our wedding on May 7, 2022. Planning before we met Monaique was chaos, but hiring her gave us confidence that our big day would be everything we dreamed about. She is very responsive, whenever you text or call her, you will get the response really quickly. Even though we thought we had most things planned, and we hired her only two months before our wedding, she provided so many valuable ideas and helped us with so many things that we did not know we left out. To name a few things we certainly appreciated: - Make multiple copies of the seating chart so guests know where to go and don't need to all crowd around one sign - You can always walk slower during your ceremony, and your guests want you to anyway - We didn't have a garter and she went out of her way to get one for us at the last minute It was a day we'll remember forever and we're so grateful Monaique helped make it happen!

Monaique understood our vision (produce a huge wedding on a shoestring budget) perfectly and was a…read morejoy to work with! We originally hired her to be the "day of" contact person but she volunteered to take lots of work off our plates in the days leading up to the wedding :-D I've seen how wedding planners charge and act on TV shows and Monaique is nothing like that (except professional!): it was like having my best friend help with the wedding!! I'd HIGHLY recommend her to anyone considering hiring a planner for their special day.

Thanks to Jenny and her team I had a FLAWLESS and more perfect than I could even imagine wedding. I…read moregot the month-of planning package, but Jenny is with you from the minute you book her. She is positive, encouraging, knowledgeable and best of all, she doesn't try to force traditions on you. I had interviewed with a few before her, and was given some slight sideeye. My wedding was off the offbeat variety so we had some puzzles to solve but overall the process was smooth. They give you a handy workbook and timeline and do frequent check ins to make sure nothing is left until the last minute. When it came down to the month of, Jenny and Genevieve took the reigns and made contact with all my vendors so I didn't have anything to think about except my own hair and makeup. To be honest, I'm not a person who trusts other people to take care of the logistics, the tiny details that are so important to me--but RNE far exceeded my expectations. They were a perfect combo of fairy godmothers and NINJAS on the night of, right down to the detail of making sure I ate some food (they made me a plate!) They made use of EVERY tiny piece of decor I had purchased over the months, even though I wasn't sure what to do with some of the stuff. It. Was. Perfect. And it wouldn't have been without Jenny and her rockin' team. A thousand thanks!

I am so glad I found Rock N Events to help with my wedding. When I first talked to Jenny, the…read morefounder and designer of the company, I knew this was the company I wanted with work with. She was so sweet, patient, and reassuring. She told me that she will connect me with a coordinator that will be perfect for my wedding. And she was right! Genevieve and I connected right away. Just like Jenny, she was also sweet, patient, and reassuring. She helped me with my indecisiveness, gave great recommendations, and very detailed-oriented. I love how she kept me updated and gave me reminders so I didnt miss any of my deadlines. On the day of the wedding, everything went flawlessly. Genevieve and her team made my vision come to life. Thank you so much! I will definitely recommend Rock N Events!

Her voice is powerful, soulful, and filled with so much heart--it's the kind of voice that stops you in your tracks. Beyond being a phenomenal performer, she has a deep understanding of vocal technique and artistry that makes her the perfect person to learn from. Whether you're a beginner looking to find your voice or a more advanced singer hoping to refine your skills, Michelle has a gift for bringing out the best in her students. She's patient, encouraging, and genuinely passionate about helping others grow. If you've ever thought about taking voice lessons--or if you just want to learn from someone who really knows what they're doing--I can't recommend her enough. She's the real deal.

Ok...I rarely give 5's. Or...I try not to anymore. Something about someone who constantly gives 5's…read moreis a little strange to me. Like, I expect to meet this person and they're just ridiculously hyper all the time. Squealing at every little thing. I digress. Too much. I give PhotoBeats a 5, because they are great people, and work very hard on making sure you have great memories for your event. My organization booked them for a gala, and it was a blast having their photobooth out. Both children and adults (non-profit youth agency, of course our gala's going to have children!) enjoyed posing and taking pictures at their booth! Each shot allows for 4 different pictures, and you have about 5 seconds to run around in a new pose. Quite amusing to see grown-up's playing a mini-version of a Chinese Fire drill (minus the car). They keep all those pictures in a file that you get at the end, so you can be a part of memories you weren't a part of. I've been to other booths where the screen was so sensitive that just walking in will start the darn thing. Umm...I don't need to have a photo of my friend's butt as we're walking in the photo area....mmmkthanks! Clearly, I like the booth the best. They also have excellent photographers, running around documenting your event. After the photos, they must pour hours into editing and making sure nothing is out of place. Like, for real. If there's even a brown leaf in an otherwise brilliant green tree, they'll get rid of it. They have a DJ you can hire to do music at your event, and afterwards? Yeah, photobooks and other keepsakes to remember whatever event you hired them for. Oh, and did I mention they're affordable? Usually folks like to charge an arm and a leg (or torso) for the convenience of having so many services in one place. PhotoBeats? They know how to be competitive AND professional!

We finally got our photos. My husband contacted the owner after my failed attempts since August and…read moremy brother's follow up calls. Thankful and glad we received the link to download. We saved everything as quickly as we could. My husband was told that the owner was away on medical leave and had thought he sent the info out beforehand. For the stress and worry, I would suggest shopping around for a photo booth vendor unless it's not a big deal whether or not you get copies of the photos. However they did have the best pricing so perhaps we got what we paid for.
