It has taken me an entire year to be able to think about writting a review for Greg Mancini & wife…read more Its taken so long because any time I would think about it I'd get livid & was only be able 2 see the negative aspects. It's been long enough now that we can try to laugh at all the f*%# up's Debbie was resonsible for. Although it still hurts my heart a bit how much she completely ruined what I'd enevisioned and planned for the ceremony. I'll start with the good. Greg is awesome. He is very organized& even though we only spent 2 hours together total in person he was the utmost professional via email & phone calls & he helped me plan out an awesomely entertaining day for both my hubbs & i & our guests. He worked on every detail, spelling, song suggestiosn,how to pronounce everyone's names perfectly. Our day (on paper) started like this.. DJ arrive to ceremony location 1 hour before event & set up Audrey (bride) is peacefully finishing make up& taking pictures Fun pop, r&b, oldies & rock love songs start pre-ceremony A dear friend plays guitar along to dixie chicks 'lullaby' as Audrey walks down the isle (que the tears - amazingly beautiful lyrics). Ceremony takes place-Now pronouce you man and wife - Audrey and Miguel kiss - que beattles "All you need is Love" and everyone clasps whistles etc. B& G take pics as DJ then sets up for the party! Each wedding attendent's announced w/ a special welcome and song chosen by the couple for them to dance to - gives it some personality. All other wedding songs are customzied as well. The father daughter, mother son and bride groom dances - ALL special music custom done by Greg. So let me tell what you really happend. 15 min before the ceremony my (amazing) wedding location planner calmly asks if I'd heard from the Mancini's. No, but i didnt' have my phone on me i reply carelessly. Then it dawns on me - WTH, you mean they're not here?! So the phone calls, texts, email and EVEN IM chats start go to crazy trying to get in touch with either of them. No calls or texts or anything are returned. The time is ticking. My beautifuled planned out thoughtful, funny, exciting day the music was about to take us on was dissolving and there was nothing I could do about it. I had a boy outside w/ an electric guitar and no amp (the DJ was bringing it). NO music to play. NO cd's. NO speakers. NOTHING to make sound! Then my mind wandered and i thought about all the dances. All the hours of practice and editing. and I lost it. It was 2 minutes to 5 (go time) and we had no DJ and no word. they'd come with the highest of recommendations from multiple sources so we were convinced they'd had deadly accident of some sort. Finally the wedding gal found an old CD player (they require the families hire outside DJ's because they don't have sound systems etc - it's not their job the DJ's do it). Next up, a CD? Anyone have a CD in their car we can walk to or something? Guess what we walked down the isle to... Queen? Anyone guess Queen? If so, you're right. We walked down the isle to 'We Are the Champions' by Queen. Now hilarious - but at the time I was furious. NOt to mention all of my pre-wedding photos are crap because i was so busy calling, texting,emailing trying to find out when/if they were ever going to show up between my tears and trying to fix my makeup there was no time to get a good beautiful pre-wedding glow shot. UGH. So our guests and wedding party had a little laugh and shock when they heard the music playing. Most of the guest's couldn't hear our minister saying his so so touching talk (it was my god father, so very sentimental) nor could they hear my husband and I's vows we'd written to eachother nor could they hear our mother's talk during the sand ceremony because there was no microphone. So we end the ceremony go out to take pictures and I am holding back a panic attack because I'm so pissed at what this party is going to turn into with NO dancing!? Our friends are making phone calls trying to line up a DJ or get equipment or make runs to friends houses to just borrow a really big sound system. But this is a wedding of 300 people, a simple CD player won't do for a crowd that size on an outdoor ranch venue. Livid. The pictures continue and I'm strained and irritated through most of them. All of the sudden a van comes down the dirt road (we're on a ranch remember) 100 miles an hour. Hum..this better be them. Thank goodness it is and they start setting up at record speed. The woman has the nerve to come up to me with a hug. Apologized she was late. Hum, you just ruined my wedding ceremony, I'm thinking as i grin through it and tell her to hurry up and just do her thing. The rest of the nite went according to plan for the most part except she pronouned my name as "AuBrey" (not Audrey) most of the night. Never said Miguel's name right. Butchered both of our families names, rushed us through the cake, bouquet toss, dances everything so she could hurry up

With last-minute rain, they had to move things around multiple times, and not once did they complain. Everything was done with such a positive attitude and a smile. Tables were always cleared, glasses stayed full, and every staff member was kind and attentive. I especially want to shout out Bernice and Jonathan. Jonathan was there all day and truly worked his butt off--he impressed all of us. Bernice's customer service is top tier. She made sure we actually ate and always had a drink in hand, which meant so much during such a busy day. Our guests were complimenting the staff all night. I highly recommend The College Minions. Thank you for being such an important part of our special day!

Every question we had, every vendor we needed; Shelley had the exact best answer. She has a list of contacts a mile long. She has the creativity to innovate if there are any obstacles. A few examples of how she went above and beyond. We got married at an old family country property in east Fresno County that hadn't had a lot of love in a long time. We needed a landscaper and Shelley was somehow able to find the only professional landscaper in that part of the County. She recommended the perfect florist and the exact right DJ/music. Even her catering recommendation turned out perfectly. Another example of her service: on the wedding day we realized no one had bought any ice. Shelley showed up with all the ice we needed! She even found a babysitter on short notice for the 10 guests who had kids under age 5. By the end of our time together, Shelley was like family. You want someone this mature, this experienced, this professional on your team. However much she charges these days, she is the biggest bargain you will find. A true force multiplier.
