I haven't found my hair stylist in San Francisco yet even though I've been living here off and on for 9 years that is both excellent and reasonable priced. When my sister asked me if I needed a haircut when I came to LA I jumped on the chance. She is: A) Talented but also knows her limits and will be honest with you. If your hair is not trained and it's really thick, she will tell you if she can do the hairstyle you want and have it last. If not, she tell you to save your money and come up with alternatives. B) I give vague descriptions, she comes out with exactly what I want. She listens. C) Always a blast to talk to. She has nothing but wisdom with laughter. Professional and makes sure you're happy. If you're not...I hate to say it, you might be the problem.

It gets really hot in here, they need better venting methods but when you dance to soca your gonna get super sweaty anyway. They usually sell drinks and Caribbean food during the events; which is made by Caribbean people so it's always authentic. DJ Stephen (The Professor), is currently an international DJ, travelling to every Soca or Carnival(as in Trinidad and Tobago Carnival) event there is to be at all over the world; but when he is home in LA he is the one that keeps our parties going. Many concerts have been held by Soca artists here because of these groups, so happy I found them over a year ago now.

Hiring Lauren as our wedding coordinator was the best decision we made during the whole planning…read moreprocess! She was extremely communicative, helpful, honest, and proactive - and helped make our vision a reality. We planned our whole wedding, but also work several jobs and live out of state. So at times, it was challenging to stick to our timeline and keep track of all the moving pieces. Here are the qualities we experienced with Lauren, and I'm confident you'd get the same: PROACTIVE: We shared our planning document with Lauren early on, and she was so great about jumping in and providing recommendations, asking questions we hadn't thought of, and reminding us to do things before it was too late. We had a list of "items we need" and Lauren went so far as to lend us some things she had, search Craigslist/Offer Up/ Etsy to make suggestions, and even went out of her way to pick up some decor for us from a vendor in CA since we were out of state. HELPFUL: Lauren helped us navigate how to get our marriage license and sent us a very detailed email with all the specifics. These little things REALLY add up when you're running 100 miles per hour with your job, planning, family stuff, etc. COMMUNICATIVE: Lauren took the initiative to reach out to all of our other vendors to check in with them, answer questions, provide information and make sure they had what they needed. Towards the end, she also took over communication with our venue on our behalf, which was a weight off my shoulders because they kept forgetting things I had told them! It was nice to have her as the middle-woman. By the time we actually got to the wedding, Lauren was so familiar with our vision and plan that everything was flawless!! ACTION-ORIENTED: I had intended to be much more involved on the day with helping get set up - but I didn't get a single thing done on my to-do list because everyone was talking to us / asking how to help / etc etc - it was so overwhelming but I knew that I could comfortably go upstairs to get ready with the girls and Lauren would have it handled. By the time we walked out for the ceremony, everything was STUNNING. Lauren helped set up the table decor, all the signage, the florals, etc. I had so many family and guests say what a hard worker her and her husband (who showed up to give an extra set of hands) are. I have to admit, I really had to convince my husband (and other family members involved in the wedding) that we even needed a coordinator and to make space for it in the budget. Given that we were planning it all and had so much help, it was difficult to convince some people. We were hesitant at first since every other vendor was a friend or acquaintance and we weren't sure we needed a coordinator. And for all the people who were skeptical about hiring a coordinator, they all understood what a necessary role they plays when they saw Lauren and her husband in action. For anyone in a similar situation: DON'T SKIP OUT ON IT. Having someone that is not directly involved with your guests is essential in getting stuff done. From the planning to having someone give a non-biased perspective, to all the help setting up, breaking down, and making sure guests knew where to go and what to do - the day wouldn't have been the same without Fancy Fern Events. She will allow you to sit back and enjoy your special day with all our closest friends and family, without worrying about a thing! I feel like I've known Lauren for a long time and have developed a friendship I am sure will last far beyond this day. The cherry on the cake was her thoughtfulness after all the festivities - a personal note and gift, and helping us to sell all the items from our wedding. Thank you, Lauren and Fancy Fern Events for going above and beyond to make our wedding magical!

Not wanting to hurt her or ruin her day I THANKFULLY found TEARS OF JOY on Instagram. It literally took ONE phone call to Adrienne and the rest is pretty much history. I'd offered to help as well but with work and my busy career it was almost impossible. But ADRIENNE was there EVERY single step of the way. She kept me up to date as to what was going on and what my friend had requested. Something about her calmed and reassured me. I only had one concern, that was to take care of my friend on her special day. Well the GIRLS of Tears of Joy surpassed that expectation tenfold and 100%. She coordinated every single detail to the tee and exactly like my friend wanted. On the big day these girls were there EVERY step of the way making sure my friends wishes went as planned. Her and her team even had the arduous task of sending away unwanted guests at the Brides request of course. But they did so with such professionalism and tact that it was to be admired. My friends day went off exactly as planned with Adrienne herself even making a last ditch to the reception location to fetch the brides bouquet that was accidentally left at the hotel. How she goy back to the wedding in time I will never know. Thats just what you get with these women. A group of "make it happeners". Her and her staff just go wayyy above the call of duty and what is expected. Which is exactly what I'm use to and what I expect. I'm so glad I took a chance and called on Tears of Joy. I can't thank Adrienne and Melanie enough for all their hard work and couldn't have done it without them. I was actually so impressed with their services that I hired them to plan my upcoming 45th Birthday Bash. I don't know what we are doing but as long as TEARS OF JOY is there it will be FABULOUSLY BEAUTUFIL!!! If you're looking for help to plan ANY event these girls are as good as it gets and as professional as it gets. You honestly won't regret using them. Again THANK YOU, THANK YOU TEARS OF JOY for all of your help!!!
