Hello! Just wanted to say you know I did not pay that much it was way…read more more and I got receipts too. Please don't go on here like I didn't pay you $4000 since I needed 5 more tables added. Let's be honest! You know it was a lot for just a painted fence and some apples. I just want people to know that there is others who can do that job for way cheaper. Nothing like the pictures you have posted look close to my daughters event.

Do you hate when your wedding vendor responds to you? Or shows up on time? How about forgets about…read moremoney they've given you? Or zip ties on your wedding flowers? Then this is the person for you. Lizeth constantly wouldn't reply to messages. Cancelled or showed up late to everything, including setting up the chairs for my wedding. Yes, she texted my day of coordinator at 5 am ON THE DAY OF MY WEDDING, saying she wasn't going to be there at the agreed upon time of 10 am, saying she'd be there at noon then showed up at 1 pm. Hit the trees of the venue with her truck. Brought the wrong cake stand so I sent $220 for a cake table and had to use the cardboard from the baker. My flowers had awful metal pieces and zip ties on them. I was embarrassed of what I had for my wedding party. Let alone my colors had gold and she put silver all over everything. Then she didn't show up to pick up her stuff at the time she said she would the following day and asked me to keep them another day, even though I'm out of state. If you want your wedding to go wrong, she's definitely your girl. Too bad zero stars aren't a thing.

I had the pleasure of working with Colin from the Event Firm for our first school prom at Plank. A…read morefirst for our schools, and a first for Plank. It turned out BEAUTIFULLY. The DJ really got the crowd up and you could feel the vibe from the students. I didn't hear one complaint. They even had karaokee for the students (which they loved). It was easy to plan everything from the balloons to the dance floor. I would highly recommend them for your event planning needs. I'm sure we will be back to plan for another prom.

I used The Event Firm for the third time for an event in our offices. They provided a holiday photo booth and professional Santa. For the photo booth, Colin will give you options for the photo template that you can customize for your event. Our Santa (Tom) was great and even had elaborate balloons for the kids. The only hitch I've had is payment, but issues were resolved because Colin was able to come into our office for payment. Highly rec The Event Firm -- they put on good event and Colin is great to work with!

Steve (Virtuoso DJ Entertainment) was one of our favorite vendors to work with for our wedding…read more From the very beginning he was communicative, friendly, open to every last possible suggestion, and extremely helpful for us in planning an amazing party! Day-of he went above and beyond to help record various parts of our ceremony and toasts (we provided the AV equipment, but he took care of helping to man the devices). Steve is chill and has the perfect personality as a DJ and MC. I cannot recommend him enough!

Working with Luz and her team at Beyond I Do's was one of the best decisions we made for our…read morewedding. From the beginning, Luz made me feel confident and calm--she's so organized, thoughtful, and really knows the right questions to ask. The planning tools she uses (Aisle Planner) were a lifesaver for keeping us on schedule and making sure we didn't miss a thing. As we got closer to the big day, I truly felt at ease knowing Luz had everything handled. Our wedding day itself was seamless--her team was professional, efficient, and anticipated every need before I even had to ask. We were able to just enjoy the day without stress, and I credit Luz and Beyond I Do's for making that possible. I can't recommend Luz and her team enough!

Luz was the most incredible wedding planner! We connected with her immediately, and we trusted that…read moreshe would make our wedding day stress free and perfect! My husband and I had a strong understanding of what we wanted out of the day, and she was able to provide guidance on making it happen. We never were pressured to add things we weren't interested in, and she was truly the best cheerleader and coach throughout the whole process. On the actual wedding day, everything went smoothly and all of the tasks were assigned. All of our family and friends were able to enjoy every moment because Luz handled everything that came up!

I cannot say enough good things about Janelle & the Visionary team. I don't think I could've gotten…read morethrough this wedding without them. Janelle was supposed to be purely my day of coordinator but she went above and beyond to support all the pivots of the pandemic. She was amazing with corralling my vendors and myself (since I was starting a new job and honestly did not do everything I needed to). Once the COVID shutdown happened, she quickly pivoted with me to plan a backyard wedding ceremony in less than a month. And boy did she pull it off! With her on your wedding day, there is not a single thing to worry about. She will bring your visions to life AND THEN SOME. She worked with me on my backyard wedding ceremony in August 2020 and grand wedding reception at the Academy of Sciences in August 2021 taking every curveball the pandemic has thrown our way without batting a lash. She even brought my leftover liquor and items back to our hotel so we could continue the party all while being barely 3 months postpartum! I can tell you that Janelle will be my go to for every major event from now on. You will kick yourself for not hiring her for your events.

Where do I start? Welp, 5 stars is for sure NOT enough for this review!!…read more x100000000 I first reached out to Janelle - Visionary Events and Designs back in Oct 2017 while planning our civil wedding ceremony/celebration. My fiancé (at that time) and I weren't ready for a MEX-FIL grand wedding but still wanted to have a small gathering to celebrate our union. We met that Nov at starbucks Sunvalley Mall, and I knew right away that she was the perfect person for us. Me and Omar did get married on May 2018 thru the courthouse and fast forward to early March of 2019, we decided to actually plan for our big wedding which was set on June 6, 2020. Throughout the planning process, we met Danny (Janelle's husband and also part of Visionary Events and Designs team) they are both super talented and supeeeer nice and we just all get along very well, which made this whole wedding journey soooo much better! From creating our vision boards to our meetings which I alwayssss look forward to, Janelle & Danny made sure me and Omar (the groom-zilla) compromise in every decision we make. They are very neutral, explained pros and cons of every lil detail, mind you, there are details that we won't even probably think of until it was all laid down to us. The amount of details from planning a wedding is unbelievable. Which is why we appreciate them a loooot, like A LOT. Unfortunately, COVID hit and we had to postpone our wedding...... not only once but 3X!!! TBH, I seriously do not know what I'd do without Janelle during this time. The mixed of emotions from postponing to the stress of how things are uncertain. She took care of contacting each vendors and moving dates, made sure everything lined up. We did lost some vendors and she did looked for replacements right away, we trusted her 100000%. Our patience was tested and we are just super lucky we have Janelle to put things into the right place!!! Literally the amount of work she puts in behind every event are underestimated unless you actually experience first hand and see all the effort she does! Visionary Events and Designs stood by us from start to finish! ooof! (thankful, grateful, blessed 1000%) Fast forward to Oct 2, 2021, with sooo much anticipation and years in the making LOL, our dream wedding finally came true! All the hardwork and patience was definitely worth the wait!!!! I saw the venue layout through a pdf document, and bam! when I saw it in person I was speechless! It took me some time actually process everything as it just feels soooo surreal! Danny and Janelle made sure we had the most perfect and epic wedding PERIOD! I know there were challenges during the day of, but we honestly have no idea of anything. Which clearly explains that they solved whatever it was/it may be without taking us away from our special moment. I know we wouldn't be able to do it by ourselves, and we truly appreciate eeverrrrrrrryyything Visionary Events and Designs did to make it all possible! They are indeed THE DREAM TEAM. and we're lucky to call them OUR DREAM TEAM. Danny and Janelle isn't just our wedding planners, throughout the wedding planning journey, they've become family. We witnessed their amazing wedding in 2017 (thru social media LOL -we barely met) to actually celebrating their own milestone (Janelle's Baby Shower) and welcoming Baby Colton! We are soo blessed to be a part of their own journey as much as they've become part of ours as well. And we truly value their presence in our lives! We couldn't thank them enough as there's no words that can equal the amount of gratitude we feel for the both of them and Visionary Events and Designs. No 5 stars will be enough to rate everything that they have to offer! PERIOOODT. Highly recommend 10000/10000 to hire them as your next event planner/coordinator!!! Lastly, to Janelle and Danny, Visionary Events and Designs, THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! We will forever cherish our friendship! The Romeros

Miriam was diligent and super reliable leading up to the event, and also easygoing and flexible throughout. I really appreciated how professional she was and how much effort she put into making things work for us.

I would absolutely recommend Miriam to anyone looking for a planner who will really work with you.

He worked with us on our playlists and gave us a solid format for our wedding. (We did not have a wedding coordinator or event planner so in many ways Bill took over some of those responsibilities.) Bill has a passion for music and this business. What stood out the most to my bride was when she forgot her wedding vows at our house and had to write them at the very last minute. She was stressed and worried, however Bill reassured her that has soon as she heard her song 'Chances Are' all her stress would fall away. He really made us feel comfortable and put together an amazing set. I have nothing but good things to say and highly recommend his services.
