Overpriced, lots of stress…read more We found out about L'ambiance and Priti through our wedding planner while preparing for our wedding Dec 2020. Covid ultimately shut down our event. As a result, we had to eat a portion of the cost of flowers for the event as well as needing to contract to use them for when we rescheduled. This was fine and we ate that cost. When we were able to finally manage to get all vendors to agree on a new date, we found out that l'ambiance increased fees as now the wedding would take place in the summer. Keep that in mind when planning. Priti was busy and unable to meet with me in person to actually start planning until maybe 10 weeks before the rescheduled and larger wedding. We went back and fourth many times on ideas and ultimately finalized our contract merely two weeks before the wedding. At this point, even if I didn't like the pricing, there was no time for me to even shop around for anyone else. There were many little mistakes/fees added such as any supplies they had prepared to use for the canceled dec wedding and the prices of things were not consistent between contracts. (My advice is to print each proposal bc you cannot refer to the previous to see what she was charging, so if one price was negotiated down, something else was "mistakingly" increased to recoup costs) Also the week before the wedding she realized her system had made a mistake on the contract and needed us to re-adjust yet again. Just extremely stressful and didn't really foster trust from my perspective. Ultimately, the finished product was fine. There were things that she claimed to take "artistic" liberties on but that mostly looked like they ran out of flowers plus she never ran those "liberties" past me. For someone spending 30k + divided between two events, she never connected with us after she got her money. When you are doing your budgeting, also add that you will have to provide a lot of hotel rooms for her workers even if the venue is only 1.5 hours away from her office. Also, some of her workers were found to have crashed our wedding and got drunk off our open bar and were found puking behind the event location. I'm glad they had a hotel nearby to sober up to break down the decor on Sunday morning. She will deny this. In the end, I would advise that you carefully review your contracts and that no matter what you agree and sign for, vendors can/and will change it last minute as there is no contract police to help you on your wedding day. Also, be aware that anything custom made for your event you will pay exorbitant pricing for and you will not be able to keep it without paying an even bigger price to take it off her hands. Long story short, end product was fine, sure, but very overpriced. Be prepared for a lot of miscommunication back and fourth and last minute contract changes as you will find many mistakes. Very stressful process.

The 2hands studio is a real life wedding Pinterest board. :-) We ended up using them for all table decor items, including mercury vases, antique mirrors, antique gold frames for our table numbers, candle votives and floating candle holders. We also rented a card lantern, a few sets of shutters (for our name cards), and multiple chalkboard signs. I also paid for the set up fee, which was well worth the cost as everything was executed flawlessly. They even helped me find a place for and set-up a family heirloom veil. Most importantly, working with Jill and Ally was super fun and super easy. They were collaborative and consultative. If I had found them earlier in the planning process, I am sure I would have found even more reasons to use them on other items b/c they seem to do everything. I would definitely recommend 2hands Studios to anyone planning a wedding and look forward to finding a reason to work with them again sometime in the future!

Steve understood our vision to a tee and created the most gorgeous designs for our chuppah, bouquets, and centerpieces. I don't have the best eye for design, but I showed Steve some pictures I liked and told him about the vibe I wanted, and he handled everything. One of the best things about working with EDGE is that their designs go above and beyond flowers - they have a warehouse full of decor that they use to bring your vision to life. Steve did the most amazing job and I was genuinely speechless when I saw everything his team created. In addition to being incredible designers, the EDGE team is so professional and lovely to work with. They provided excellent communication throughout the entire planning process and were responsive to all of our adjustments and tweaks. They handled set up and take down on the day of as well and made everything so seamless for my husband and I.

She eschews all of that standard wedding crap and makes the event a stand-out evening. You won't hear her on the microphone unless you ask her to say anything, unlike some DJs who just seem to want to babble more than play music. Though she specializes in Indie music, she's got it all and mixes it perfectly, and works with you up to your big day to set the perfect tone for the night. Friends are already bugging me for a copy of the setlist only two days after the wedding - she was THAT GOOD at picking out fabulous tunes! She is extremely professional to work with, her pricing is fair, and she's a total sweetheart. My father and some friends loved the fact that she was dancing behind the turntables, too!

She was a great fit for us - we didn't want the standard, cheesy wedding songs and she was happy not to play them. She also was really organized, which helped put us to ease as it was clear we were in good hands. She had all our paperwork organized and made sure to contact us a few weeks before to make sure we were all set. One of our favorite parts of the night was looking over and seeing how much fun she was having at our wedding. It was infectious and our guests spent most of the reception on the dance floor (as did we!). We really loved working with DJ PGee and would definitely recommend her for your next party!
