I attended a baby shower last year and the mom-to-be had the most gorgeous balloon garland that…read morefeatured decorations that also fit into her theme. I asked her for the contact information and she sent me the website for Sweet Gifts which I saved onto my "Favorites" links on my phone. Fast forward one year later... I'm planning my own socially distanced "drive by" and "drop in" baby shower with close friends and family. One of the first businesses that I inquired was Sweet Gifts because I've always wanted a balloon garland. However, Sweet Gifts is more than just balloons, balloon walls, and garlands -- they also do custom laser cuts and engraving and grass backdrop rentals as well! Their balloon work is so aesthetically pleasing and they really take their time to curate an impressive look for your event (if you don't believe me, check out their Instagram for some of their beautiful work!). I went with the grass backdrop rental, laser cut, and a ready-to-hang garland to display. The team came on time and was able to set everything up within 2.5 hours! They also wore masks throughout the whole setup and always knocked on the door to make sure to get my opinion on the display. I received several compliments from our guests and have told them all about Sweet Gifts! Additionally, they came back later that evening to take down the grass backdrop and left us with the ready-to-hang garland and laser cut for us to keep. When it comes to payment, you will pay 50% for your reservation and then 50% the day before. They also accepted payment through various methods. I definitely plan to use Sweet Gifts for future events!

Sweet Gifts made the most gorgeous display for the baby shower I hosted this past weekend. My…read moreguests were amazed at how beautiful the balloons and cutouts carried the "Woodlands animals" theme. We were able to keep all the signs to use in the baby's room. When the crew arrived they were very professional and done so quickly I couldn't believe it. I have found kits that you can buy to make displays but I cant imagine ever being able to make something so beautiful. Jen was amazing, she felt like some of the design elements would crowd the space and made some suggestions that were even better than the original ideas. I highly recommend this company for that special design for any event.

We were planning our wedding during the pandemic and things were constantly uncertain as to whether or not the wedding would be able go to on. Iman and DJ Kia had routine calls with us to check-in and offer advice. We knew we could trust their opinions and flexility during the uncertain times. On the day of the wedding, DJ Kia was so involved with every aspect of the ceremony and reception. He knew exactly what to do, when to do it, and how to make our wedding day an unforgettable experience. He literally orchestrated our ceremony processional and was making sure everything was running smoothly. Everyone felt at ease walking down the aisle because DJ Kia was there to send them off. We were lucky enough to have Iman MC our wedding, and believe us when we tell you he knows how to put on a show. The dance floor comes alive with Iman on stage and everyone was out of their seats and dancing the entire night. Our cocktail hour ended up going over schedule, which pushed back our reception. It was no worry though, because Iman was there to quickly restructure the timeline and ensure everything ran smoothly. Even with unexpected issues, we felt completely at ease knowing he had us covered. He is such a genuine person who truly cares about his client's happiness. We also used Night Owls for our video production and working with them was a truly pleasant experience. They captured every aspect of the wedding beautifully. In just a few short weeks, we had our trailer and wedding video created, both of which were edited to our liking. They were extremely patient with us throughout the process and the end result is videos we still can't stop watching! Thank you to Brandon and the team at Night Owls for all of their hard work. We also want to give a special thanks to Wake on the sax, Farzan on the drums, and Cyrus on the cello. These three gentleman made the music come alive and our guests could not stop raving about how talented they were. My wife and I still talk about just how great it was working with Exclusively Entertainment and we would absolutely recommend them for your events!

TL;DR Troy's events are much more than ordinary events. They're for those who live for the…read moreunexpected moments and making unexpected connections. When we go to events, most of us generally have expectations of what they normally entail. Some of us will begin to dismiss the possibilities of the unexpected. In my own observation and experience, Troy's events are not those events. Troy is not the planner you collaborate with when you want a normal event. He specializes in the unexpected. However, there are those of us that understands that every waking moment is unexpected. Everyday, we meet all kinds of people. But what is it about meeting them at a networking event, holiday party or wedding makes the unexpected come out of some. You will meet these people at Troy's events whether out of familiar faces or out of strangers you are soon to meet. If you're a event's professional in DC and you're not attending these events, you're missing out on making lasting connections. These are the kind of connections that propels personal and professional growth. In my past experiences. I've partied through the stroke of midnight with friends I made that evening at his Studio 54 DC New Years Eve Party. Set at the Blind Whino artistic venue, this event was a step out of reality and memorable. At the MES mixers, I've caught myself in the a truly diverse mix of DC young professionals ranging between artisans, techies, musicians, natural-born hustlers and jet-setters. The connections I've made so far can be best described as relationships fused between business and friendship. If you're a DC professional networker, a couple planning your big day, or living for those truly unique experiences, check out Troyal Events.

He helped us design the entire day, and the result was more beautiful that we could have ever imagined. We definitely felt he took the time to create a personal, individualized reception for us, as opposed to just pulling from a usual "bag of tricks." Troy was also invaluable by running our ceremony and rehearsal. He made sure we were calm, prepared, and stayed on schedule. We knew we didn't have to worry about any details besides sharing the day with our friends and family. The peace of mind was tremendous, and we couldn't have done it without him. Troy's professionalism and passion for his work is unparalleled, and I highly recommend you consider him to be a part of your next event.

I honestly can't say enough good things about Lux Moments! We hired Sana as our day-of wedding…read morecoordinator, and she was AMAZING. Hands down one of the best decisions we made during the whole planning process. Even though she was just booked for day-of coordination, she was super involved leading up to the wedding. Sana checked in with us multiple times, helped us fine-tune our timeline, and asked a bunch of helpful questions that I wouldn't have even thought of on my own. It really felt like she cared about making everything perfect. Sana showed up early, got to know our vendors and wedding party, and just totally took over in the best way. I didn't have to answer a single question or stress about anything. Everything flowed so smoothly -- the ceremony, the reception, speeches, dances, everything -- and she kept us right on schedule without making it feel rushed or too structured. There were a few small things that went wrong (as always happens on a wedding day), and I didn't even know about them until later because Lux Moments handled everything behind the scenes like a pro. Some standout things they did: Kept all the vendors in sync so we didn't have to worry about a thing Made sure the bridal party was where they needed to be at all times Made our guests feel welcomed and helped with questions/seating/etc. Sana is so kind, calm, and genuine. It felt like having an extra friend who happened to be super organized and knew exactly what they were doing. If you're debating whether or not you need a day-of coordinator: YOU DO. And if you're thinking of going with Lux Moments, do it. Sana will make your wedding day feel effortless and let you actually enjoy every second of it. 10/10 would recommend.
