Shopping for wedding vendors is a stressful experience, and Sound By Design didn't make matters any…read moreeasier for us. We had to wait more than four weeks to get an appointment at a time that worked for our work schedules, though Dylan was very friendly and personable. He asked questions that were more than just the surface queries about music styles and the venue, and we enjoyed the meeting. Having met with other DJs previously, Sound By Design came in a bit higher than the other quotes, but we really liked the overall vibe. We asked if they could match the price of our other leading vendor and received no reply. At all. I fully expected to hear that they don't negotiate their prices insert generic policy language here, I did not expect to be ghosted by the company like a bad Tinder date. For argument's sake, let's say that the interwebs failed and they did not receive the email in which we inquired about negotiating on the price. In that scenario, wouldn't Dylan have reached out after not hearing from us? His line of questioning had us with the impression that the personal connection was important to Sound By Design, but I fear that is just lip service. In the end I went two stars since their lack of answer made a potentially difficult choice that much easier.

We hired Sound By Design for a photobooth and specialty lighting at our wedding. The photobooth is…read moreincredible, amazing lighting and high quality images that look professional. The photos can be texted to your phone and there is a viewable online gallery that can be accessed by anyone with the link and you can see every photo saved. I love that I am able to look back on all of our guests photos! My only complaint were the props provided but I was told it was a coincidence. We specifically told our planner we loved Michael Jordan and that Space Jam is our favorite movie but ended up having props from the new Space Jam and a bunch of Lebron props. We are not Lebron fans so we quickly got rid of those when we noticed. No biggie though. I docked a star because we had paid for specialty lighting after the dinner and we had to track down the coordinator for this because they didn't switch the lights over. The lights were supposed to be multicolored throughout the venue and change to the beat of the music but they didn't start this until a while after dancing had started. We had to actively search for the vendor coordinator to figure out what was going on. We thought the stage lighting was supposed to change too but they kept those lights normal and bright and then eventually changed the rest of the venue's lighting. Overall, I definitely recommend the photobooth but if you have specific props you want, maybe coordinate that better with the vendor. If you choose to hire them for lighting as well, establish a timeline and plan for it so you get the most of what you are paying for without any hiccups.

The bounce house was delivered exactly when he said it would be, the process was simple and enjoyable. Our kids had the best time!

My fiancé and I are currently planning our December 2024 Wedding. Prior to meeting with them I had…read moreattended a Wedding expo which I was helped by Olivia. She was extremely welcoming and nice. I had asked a really close friend about her experience in working with them in 2019. She gave her honest opinion and said she wouldn't recommend them because they made her day more stressful and dropped the ball. However, because her wedding was during Covid I gave Ambrosia grace and wanted my own perception. I met with them accompanied by my sister, which was at first glance appear to be great. I worked with Olivia in planning and creating the vision I had. We were presented with a quote that was $39,000 which was basic decor and mainly the expense of draping and few other items. We would be spending more on decor vs the food portion. We had read over the contract and in it stated that upon signage the contract is null without payment. My fiance and I thought hard on what we can afford total for our wedding and $39,000 for decor/floral was absolutely to much. So our plan was to decrease. Oscar gave us a hard time and said we can't change anything and was firm on saying, if you don't proceed with the contract we would be reported to creditors to sue us and reflect our credit. The way he said this was alarming. My fiancé asked since no money has been paid can we pay out of the contract. Oscar at the time said that is no such thing as paying to get out of a contract. During this conversation via zoom he insulted our intellegian e was rude and extremely disruptive until I read him his own contract and then he began to work with us. Keep in mind this was well over 200 days from our wedding so at any other company walking away would be no issue. So his resolution was to create an addendum and that was us removing items but we would have to pay $6000 within 24 hours. Again another red flag as he was looking for some form of payment to consider the changes. Our aunt wanted to gift us floral, so she paid the $6000 for us. The floral portion of the contract is only estimating $4500. Fast forward we are paying of several things for our wedding and we were hit with a harsh reality of a life changing event which changed the course of our wedding at its entirety. We reached out to every vendor we have been working with and every vendor has been a blessing except Ambrosia. We reach out to them immediately after this event and asked if we can cancel the contract and pay a cancelation fee and if they would be willing to grant us the floral. I met with Oscar and my wedding planner and we were both blown by his response. We had a balance of $18,000 and he said if we cancel we'd be responsible for the $39,000 contract and he would write we could receive the contract, or we could find them a client to replace the lose, or we had to commit to using them for a different event within 6 months. All these were not great options and he was only looking at things from the business prospective and not the fact that we still wanted to make our day happen in some sort and pay a fee. I sent an email with our decision and ask for a written agreement within 24 hours. Oscar said in order to cancel we had to pay $11,000 ASAP to cancel and then we could receive our floral. This was not what he said on the zoom. I stated if we can pay $11,000 we mines we'll pay off the contract and receive everything. Oscar lacks people skills and compassion for people. He is in the line of business where people are making vows and want their special day to be perfect. He will ruin the experience for any couple or corporation because his focus is silly himself and not those he service. I would encourage anyone scouting for venues to look past them unless you have $200,000 sitting to waste to pay in full. I generally can take a L but this is our special day which has been ruined because we are not getting what we paid for with the expectation of paying them an outrageous amount to even cancel and receive what's paid for. I pray that no one has to go through what not only my friend but I experienced.

We used Ambrosia Events for our October 9th 2021 wedding for a number of our rentals.  It almost…read moretook my breath away the first time I walked into the ballroom and saw how beautifuly it had been transformered.  A big piece of that was thanks to Oscar and Ambrosia   The rentals we used turned an already beautiful ballroom into a stunning masterpiece. Oscar's insight and advice was invaluable and resulted in our wedding being absolutely beautiful. Somehow he was able to understand and pull together my many thoughts and visions into offering suggestions that worked perfectly to match what we were trying to do. I also appreciated his great follow thru and communication with us.   We rented chiavari chairs, chargers, up lights, pin spot lights, draping, and an aisle runner. Planning a wedding during covid or non-covid can be very stressful because it is a lot of pieces to manage not to mention so many things u don't know u don't know.. We ended up finding Ambrosia later in our wedding planning. We wished after working with them, we had met them  earlier as  we may have used them for full planning services as well. They would have made our life so much easier.  Ambrosia offers rentals but also full wedding planning services. And given what a great job Oscar and his team did I can only imagine what an amazing job they would do if they planned your full event.  As we were planning our rentals I got to see images of designs of other events they did, Oscar is an artistic genius and designs r not cookie cutter.  Nothing but a positive experience with Ambrosia Events, would highly recommend fir wedding rentals and/or event planning!!

You MUST do the grilled cheese and tomato soup shooters, they were a hit! Chicken en croute is also a must for the main dish. We are still dreaming of that meal. Our guests complimented the food all night and for weeks after the wedding. Somehow it was even better than the original tasting. Candy was our lead from Chef Jack's, and she was incredible, coming out often to check on us and the flow of the room overall. They were incredibly accommodating to any and all allergies and dietary restrictions that we had with our guests, and not a single person was unable to be fed, and for two of my guests who had been to weddings where they were unable to eat, this was important to me. I would recommend Chef Jack's over and over again!

When we booked the Valerie it was still in the building phases and we only had the pictures of the visions Matty had. We are so glad we believed in Matty's vision because the venue is breathtaking. The venue just insanely beautiful from the suites, to the ceremony space, to the reception space, to the bars, and even the bathrooms. The communication the Valerie provides is top notch! They are always quick to respond which is amazing when you are planning the wedding. Matty is always willing to help whether it's with giving recommendations or helping answer questions. He also makes contact with the vendors you chose to talk to them about everything you need to know about the venue! The day of the wedding was amazing, Matty and the point of contact helped so much to keep the day running smoothly. The bartenders were also amazing. My husband and I have said many times over how we wish we could come up with another event to throw just so we can book this venue again!
