JoJo has an amazing team that helps her, and I can't speak more highly of them. The chef she uses makes delicious food, and caters to what you want very well. Her wait staff were so helpful and polite, and a joy to work with! My mom and her guests were so impressed with everything! It was a special day, thanks in part to JoJo and her team! Enjoy some photos from the party.

From start to finish they were incredibly easy to communicate with- responsive, attentive, and truly listened to what I wanted. Lisa and her team brought my vision to life, and it was even better than I imagined. What really stood out was their willingness to work within our budget without compromising on quality or creativity. They not only designed and set up all the balloons, backdrops, installations but they also spent extra time helping me decorate and design the farmers market with the custom gifts I made and/or purchased for my guests. The entire process felt stress-free and enjoyable. Everything turned out beautifully and we received so many compliments. I am truly honored to be The Simple Luxe's first farmers market themed client and I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a talented, reliable, and kind vendor who goes above and beyond. If you have been following them on social media like I was and have an upcoming event - reach out to them and get a quote! You will not be disappointed!

We met Eliza when touring a venue for our wedding that required everything to be brought in. She…read moredid not sell us on anything and when we were asking about how the set up would be, she shared that she had experience at this venue and that she was a planner. We followed up to see what wedding planning packages she had and safe to say this was the best decision made. Eliza, Tammy + Team provided the full service for our wedding. We hired them for planning, design, coordination, rentals, and florals and it made life so much easier. I had the best experience with Eliza and team with our weekly meetings for a few months to align on all the details. She understand and appreciated our mixed cultural background and how we wanted to incorporate elements of this for a Persian and Vietnamese wedding. I have always heard wedding planning to be stressful but safe to say my experience was the best and the day of the wedding went beautifully. Nothing ever goes to plan and I'm really happy Eliza and her team are experienced enough to adjust to last minutes changes such as guest no shows, etc. She captured our vision perfectly and I'm already thinking of future events I would plan with Bel Events again!

Horrible experience, stay away!…read more This is a review for Eliza at BEL Events for her wedding planning services. We met Eliza at our venue 8 month before our wedding date. During the first session she presented herself well, and she talked and bragged a lot about her 18 yrs of experience in event planning and stories about how she handles wedding situations. So, we thought she is the right event planner for us and signed a contract. After signing the contract and making the payment, she was very hard to find and we did not see the expected action from her side, and every time we followed up, her response was: "don't worry I will manage everything before the wedding day". We were asking for the basics of planning such as timeline, vendor recommendations (a few to choose from) and communications (which was part of the contract) but not no action except a quote of her own rental service. We were getting closer to the wedding date and her lack of action made us so worried and very frustrated. Eventually we had to get involved and did almost 90% of the work ourselves. She was very hard to find but even when we could talk to her, she would create more unnecessary problems to an extant that my wife had panic attacks after a few meetings we had with her. 2 month before our wedding she caused so much anxiety and frustration that we decided to end our contract with her and find another planner. Thankfully, our new planner was amazing and our Wedding planning went very smooth after that, and the event was as wonderful as we could imagine! With way lower cost than what Eliza had proposed! After I requested to cancel the contract she disappeared and never responded to our emails, which is very unprofessional. Here is a list of a few issues from our experience of working with here: 1- Accessibility: every time we had a question or needed to talk to her, it was taking several days until she gets back to us. With irrelevant excuses, like she would show me her busy google calendar! 2- Push to use her own services as vendors: Per her contract she had to suggest different vendors so we can choose. But since she has rental and flower services, she was arguing so much to stop us from even looking at other options! She charges unnecessarily expensive! By doing a little research, we found our vendors and saved at least 50% with same or better quality! 3- Nonsense arguments and rude attitude: In many occasions she was just insisting on holding the event the way SHE wants, without paying attention to our request or desire. Every time we requested something, her answer was: "I don't want MY event to be that way or I don't want MY guests to be that way"!!! With a condescending attitude emphasizing that "I have 18 yrs of experience and I know what to do"!!! Any simple request would become a long story and unnecessary argument. In one occasion my wife requested that guests throw flower petals while walking out of aisle, and she immediately said: "No!, you can't do that, I don't want my cleaning crew spend time on cleaning the petals"!!!! In another occasion Eliza was insisting on only using her recommended valet service (which was quoting more than double the price of the service we eventually used) and on top of it she was forcing us to rent extra parking lot out of venue and pay extra for shuttle service!!!! While the venue had enough capacity! And when I respectfully said: I am confident that the venue has enough capacity for parking, she got very angry and said: "in that case tell all your guests to use UBER and they can't drive their own car"!!! It was a nightmare working with BEL Events and I don't recommend her service due to lack of professionalism and decency in her business.

Prior to the wedding: Despite the name day-of, Caitlin and Crystal were both super helpful with things leading up to the wedding, including advice on best places to print invitations/envelopes, after party locations, etc. I always felt like I could email them with questions and get prompt, thoughtful responses. In addition to that, Caitlin was checking in intermittently throughout the year to make sure I was on track with planning. It was very helpful to know what I needed to have completed soon in the timeline leading up to the wedding. The website and tools they provide were incredibly helpful, though may be overwhelming for some (I.e. my husband). For a type A person like me, it was a godsend. I filled out their questionnaires leading up to the wedding as much as I could, and Caitlin provided a very detailed and organized timeline that I was in love with. She was always receptive and responsive to feedback or changes regarding the timeline. She gave us ideas when we weren't sure what we wanted to do (like how to take pictures with 200 guests but not waste a ton of time). We met with Caitlin once at the venue since she was able to be present for our walk-through 2 months prior to the wedding, which was super helpful! We then met with her online the week prior to our wedding to go over the timeline one last time, and discuss items that we were bringing to the venue. She was also available during our rehearsal, which made such a big difference for us. Day of: Literally, Caitlin arrived and I worried about nothing other than enjoying my wedding. Sincerely, I did not have a single thought. She dealt with and coordinated with all the vendors. Everything was exactly as I envisioned, from the set up of our reception and welcome tables to how seamless and organized the reception went with all of our little events. I heard many compliments from friends and family about how well organized the wedding was and how perfectly timed events were. She communicated with us throughout the wedding about the next events in our timeline, including with the guests who gave toasts. By the end of the night, everything we had brought was packed into our cars and we were able to leave without any concern. Honestly, we would not have had such a great time at our wedding without Caitlin. For a type A person like me, not having to worry about every little detail was such a relief. It was the best day of our lives to be able to enjoy the time, spend it all with friends and family, and celebrate our love for each other without concern. We cannot recommend Exceptionally Yours enough to people (literally gushed about them to one of our friends who just got engaged) and will 100% utilize their services in the future for any events we have.

I originally connected with the owner, Crystal, who recommended that I work with Caitlin, and I'm so grateful she did. Finding the right coordinator who truly understands your needs, budget, and overall vibe is so important -- and Caitlin gave us that and so much more. From the planning process to the final details, she kept us organized, on track, and reassured every step of the way, which brought us so much peace of mind. On the wedding day, Caitlin and Leslie were incredible. They handled everything behind the scenes so seamlessly that we were able to fully be present and enjoy our day without stress. Caitlin is extremely kind, calm, and professional, and her care for us and our wedding truly showed. We honestly could not have done this without her and her team. We're beyond grateful for Caitlin and the Exceptionally Yours team and would recommend them wholeheartedly to any couple looking for someone they can truly trust with one of the most important days of their lives. ~ L&L Guerrero
