Lauren handled everything including tickets to a festival, brunch and dinner reservations, hotel, and created matching shirts for all of us with a cute tag line for our bride to be! We just gave her the basics of what we wanted to do and she made it all happen and came up with other great ideas. Lauren was great with communication and made everything so easy. It really took all of the stress out of making such an awesome event happen. Would highly recommend Lauren for any event!

Lauren was the perfect planner for my bachelorette. I have amazing friends, but needed someone who…read morecould really get into the details of the weekend. There were girls in 4 different cities and we were meeting in an out of state location. She listened to the type of weekend I wanted (low maintenance, fun, outdoors, and budget friendly). and from there she ran with it! She worked with my friends and gave ideas as well as take input too on what the group thought I wanted. I was in for one of the best weekends ever- there were creative touches like decor (even matching my wedding colors), my favorite adult beverages waiting for me at check in, custom tees, and all the necessary snacks. Lauren researched Austin and was able to use her vast network and got insider knowledge on the best things to do. From dinners, to raffling and nights out- it was perfection. Honestly, I couldn't have planned it better, or at all without Lauren. If you can get Lauren as your party/event/life planner, you are in for a treat! Don't have a ton of pictures as the weekend was that fun, but feel free to connect with me about Lauren and her great work.

I appreciate him for responding whenever I had any questions. The pricing was very reasonable to me as well. I didn't need a set up or take down, but I'm sure if I needed that service, him and his team would accommodate with no doubt. Delivery and pick up went smoothly! Very communicative as to when he's on the way which is very helpful when planning an event. Thank you Daniel, for helping me out with this sudden request. Even though I wasn't asking for anything crazy in regards of tables and chairs, you helped my family and I enjoy a celebration of life for a dear family member that enjoyed gatherings(:

The rental process was easy: I filled out a form with my contact information, and everything was handled smoothly. They brought the chairs out right away, unloaded them from the dolly, and loaded both the chairs and canopy into our car with great care. They even took extra steps to protect the interior of the car from any damage. It seems like the business is run by a husband-and-wife team with a few helpers, and they are all extremely friendly and thoughtful. The best part was that they never pressured us about the return date or time, which made the whole rental experience stress-free. We truly enjoyed doing business with them and would absolutely rent from them again. Very thrilled to write review on the store.

I was really disappointed and frustrated in my experience working with Kira. Around 2.5 months…read morebefore my wedding, I reached out to her but she was unresponsive to my email and calls. I was finally able to reach her two weeks later, and she asked me to send her a list of all my vendors again (even though I had already forwarded her all my vendor contracts and information before). Kira did not follow through with my vendors according to the timeline we had agreed upon, and I was uncertain as to when I would be able to get my draft timeline from her. When I expressed my concern and frustration, Kira said that since she was hired for day of, her talking to me two months prior to the wedding was a bonus that she was doing for me, and I should not expect to get a timeline until 2 weeks before the wedding. This seemed irresponsible to me, since when I booked her she had said she was free for calls and texts anytime leading up to the wedding. She said that I was unsympathetic towards personal things that came up for her. I felt like it was unprofessional for her to be telling me about personal things in her life that was causing a disruption in her ability to deliver upon her commitment as a coordinator. I ended up hiring a different coordinator who is also day-of. This coordinator said she always works with her clients 8 weeks before the wedding, creates the timeline 6 weeks beforehand, communicates with vendor 3 weeks beforehand and finalizes everything 1 week beforehand. This was exactly the kind of clarity and responsibility I wanted in a coordinator, and I am afraid that Kira did not deliver on this at all for me.

Kira was great to work with. This is from a vendor side which is also really important! haha Our…read morephoto booth got booked just days before a wedding as a gift for a high end client where Kira just ran with it and made it happen for us. Things were all ready when we got there and she checked on us a few times throughout the day to make sure if we needed anything. From things like making sure the places we neat ant tightly to making sure the vendors were taken care of and fed, it's so appreciated from our side. Pleasure to work with her and her team. We have worked with a lot of coordinators and other vendors in the past and it's always great to see people who get it and are just Team Bride & Groom. The result at the end is a event that goes really smooth for the bride and groom and that's what it's all about! Must have been extra stressful to add something the night before the wedding but glad it all work out! Thanks Sweetest Things in Life Events & Kira!

He was organized, responsive, and quietly in control of the timeline all night. When we started running a few minutes behind during the reception, he adjusted without drawing attention to it and kept everything moving. We didn't have to think about a thing. He was super attuned to the vibe of the room, from the ceremony to the reception. Seeing everyone enjoying themselves on the dance floor made our wedding day even better! The music felt like us.

From the moment I met with Justin he was organized and detail oriented. He did way more than "just" DJ the wedding.

For this reason, the flow from prior to the ceremony all the way through to the end of the night was perfect. Our wedding was an absolute party and everyone had so much fun. Justin knew exactly how to keep everyone excited and the dance floor going. DJ Kanoya genuinely cares about the couples he works with and is amazing at what he does. I will forever recommend him to anyone and everyone!
