    Above the top will take your vision and make it a reality! Worked with Joseph on two different occasions and he completely delivered for both. He listened to all our needs, wants, and concerns and made two magical events for us. His team is quick, organized and just great to work with!

    We got SO much feedback about how beautiful our summer outdoor wedding was and it wouldn't have been possible without Above the Top! Corey helped us out and was super accessible and helpful throughout the process with both feedback and suggestions. He definitely knows his stuff. We went with Above the Top because they really are a one-stop-shop for everything we needed including having the ability to customize decor as a production shop as well. We got to tour their warehouse followed by a sit down meeting to vision plan around our venue. Our floral arch and the platform we stood on for the ceremony, our chivari chairs for guests and sweetheart chair for the ceremony, our stage with custom monogram decal on it, giant LOVE led and uplighting, etc all brought the day together, Everything looked stunning and I'm truly impressed by lengths they go to to make every event look spectacular. Thanks guys!

    Wishes do come true~

    "Incredible ". "Magical". "Amazing ". Those are the words most people want to hear about their event but those actually WERE the words we heard over and over again at our daughter's wedding Best of all, we felt and said the same things! Who ever heard of a wedding going 100% perfect with not one glitch? That exceeded your hopes and came in on budget? Well I can now raise my hand on that thanks to Susanne and her incredibly creative staff. A joy to work with. Prompt arrivals with warm but professional service. Obviously I cannot recommend them enough. Every penny hard earned and customized to your last wish!

    What a nice experience! My son recently had a wedding and we used Above the top rentals for the chuppah, draping and linens. They were so nice and accommodating. The chuppah is clear lucite and everyone thought it was amazing. The draping transformed the country club . The linen the bride loved was sequined and they did not have the amount we needed. So they made more sequined table cloths and did not charge extra! Their prices are fair and the service was so nice. Both Jose's were a pleasure to work with! I highly recommend their services!

    Susanne was amazing and helped me with my event! Rented wedding decor items from her and turned out great. Would recommend her she has a vision and passion!

    I am very thankful to Jessica (my event planner) and Suzanne for turning our vision of my daughter's 18th birthday into reality. You exceeded our expectations. Again, thank you.

    One week before the wedding my Husband decided to put in a huge red carpet in our cocktail area and I'm so glad he called Above the Top to work with Corey. Weddings can be so overwhelming and they literally have all the inventory you can imagine and had no issues working around the clock for you to make sure all your needs are covered. I had such a busy schedule and I was on the phone with Corey until close and to midnight. The owner Susanne is a sweetheart too - you definitely know you're talking to professionals when you work with Above the Top. I ended up booking my glassware, ceiling treatment, charger plates, sweetheart chandelier table and chairs... my gawd so glad I did. The entire wedding tied together so beautifully and I could not be more grateful. I wanted something different and you exceeded my expectations. If you are looking for a great company that can take your imagination to the next level this really is the best place!

    I can't say better things above the top best rental company in so cal they have so many options and stuffs their prices are fair, the service was so nice I will defiantly recommend them for any event

    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.

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!

Booking the event was extremely easy, I read other reviews about the planners not reaching out prior to the event, but the truth is that you don't really need to hear from them. All of the plans are in writing when you sign the agreement, the location and time are set prior to the date (also in writing). The day the event, the crew reached out and let me know they were setting up along with texting me a location pin. The Picnic Collective went above and beyond with the details. The flowers were beautiful, the grazing boards were delicious, everything was absolutely beautiful! I purchased the sandwiches for each guest and they were yummy. The only extra things I brought myself were a cake and alcohol. (mini champagne bottles and seltzers along with a trash bag to keep the alcohol bottles out of sight :) They provide pretty glass looking cups and it made us feel extra fancy. The blue tooth speaker was a nice touch to set the mood with music. Overall 10/10 I would hire them again for another special occasion. I was so happy with everything. If your picnic is at the beach like most are, I recommend arriving 30min early, plan ahead because parking is a mother. For reference I worked with Kristen and she was really fast at replying via text.

They also asked for a tip prior to the day, but we opted to tip on the day because again, I had already paid for the entire experience before the experience. Thanking God it all worked out!

Unfortunately, the performance did not meet those expectations at all. The elf did not initiate any activities and appeared disengaged the entire time. I had to constantly prompt her to interact with the children. Several kids were upset, and multiple guests commented that she was not doing her job. At one point, she was standing in one spot chewing gum, which felt extremely unprofessional. Three of my guests even offered to write reviews on my behalf because they felt so bad about the situation. Instead of enjoying my party and hosting my adult guests, I ended up managing the entertainer myself and playing with the kids to keep them engaged--completely defeating the purpose of hiring entertainment. I contacted the company immediately after the party. The party coordinator responded promptly and confirmed that the elf claimed the children "weren't interested," which is why she didn't engage. I was told the owner would contact me to resolve the issue, but I never heard from him. I would give this service zero stars if I could. I am giving one star only because the coordinator was professional and responsive, which is the sole reason I booked this company. Unfortunately, the actual service was a major disappointment.

As well as a lack of cultural awareness from their part. I emailed the table service about a giveaway for my child. (A giveaway posted on their story) They emailed me, misleading as to having been selected for the giveaway. Somehow contacting me was more of a step to be considered for the giveaway rather than actually being selected. ( I would have not bothered to even email anyone at all to ask about details ) They should have stated with the first email that they select who they prefer to pick for the give away. Suggestions : 1. Put a disclaimer / details about your needs for the giveaway. Ex: "We are doing a promotional giveaway! We set up one of our services and enjoy the set up for a gathering of your own! " I came up with that as I was writing this. Simple easy and the point. 2.Work on following back with phone, emails, text messages. Get in the same page of who will manage your communications as a business. Gloria, If you as a business owner cannot handle the communication tasks, hire workers to support you. 3. Be open and respect cultural belief in practices of the misuse of "teepees". I ask for no teepees. Actually asked for less of the service. I regret not being more direct of how you are appropriating a cultural and it's lodge but I didn't because I was hoping you would be culturally respectful. But since you took it to be defensive I'm saying it now. You are appropriating sacred symbolism to northern native folks. If that offends you imagine how it rightfully makes native folks uncomfortable that you offer it as part of your profit making. 5. Like I mentioned in our private messages, Do better at communicating your intentions when doing a giveaway. Lastly, remember you are in stolen native indigenous land. The least you can do is respect when someone isn't comfortable using your props for an event and you trying to spin it around and back out of a giveaway. Just don't do give away a .
