Jeannie and her team went above and beyond for our wedding day. We only had our venue, catering, and photography booked four months before our wedding, and needed some serious help. We reluctantly decided to put in a little extra for month-of wedding coordination services, and boy did that go a long way. Our wedding day was extremely smooth, and everything was perfect! *Month-of Wedding Coordination This was not really just month-of. Jeannie started recommending us vendors based on our budget long before. We took her recommendations for our florist, audio/visual, and cake/desserts, and she helped with all of our communications with vendors. Since we moved to the bay area in the middle of wedding planning, Jeannie video chatted with us to make sure nothing was miscommunicated, and responded to us right away whenever we needed changes made to our timeline. Most importantly, we had a lot of gaps in knowledge about weddings in general, such as tea ceremony, and Jeannie helped fill those in and bring additional items to help us out. She knew exactly what to recommend, and always gave us options to switch things up if we wanted to. Booking the wedding coordination service completely took away the stress of wedding planning. We could focus on smaller details of the wedding knowing that we were in good hands. *Day-of Wedding Coordination I was extremely impressed by Jeannie's team. She brought in her own assistants, and they were complete life-savers. We started off by giving them all of our decorations at the rehearsal, and the next day, everything was magically set up at the ceremony and reception. We had no idea what to do for the tea ceremony, but Jeannie brought in all the decorations and props, and her assistants guided us through the entire process. Throughout the day, they were running around making sure our vendors coordinated with each other (and I'm sure I missed out on a lot of details here), helping me put on my bustle, stealthily picking up all 100+ ping pong balls we dropped at one of our games, and making sure everything was seamless. At the end of the day, our timeline went exactly as planned, and I did not have to worry about a thing. When we got back to our hotel room, all of our decorations and clothing were neatly packed up in boxes, ready for us to take home the next day. *Officiant The day before, Jeannie and her team guided our entire bridal party of 14 through the entire ceremony process. She showed us where to stand, what hand to use, how to walk, etc. On the day of, she kept it short and simple, just as we wanted, and then jumped out of the frame as the photographers started taking pictures. *MC Our crowd was young. We had three relatives tables, and ten friend tables. Jeannie knew exactly how to work the crowd. She introduced our relatives in their Cantonese/Chinese names, and made sure everyone felt included. My dad gave a speech in Mandarin, and Jeannie helped translate it for our guests who didn't understand. She worked closely with us for all the games we played, and even executed a mishmash of a ping-pong-booty-shaking-danceoff game that we suggested perfectly. Our guests loved her, and we received many compliments throughout the night on how fun the activities that Jeannie hosted were! *DJ We had DJ Ray at our wedding and he was the BEST! I believe I heard every single song we had given him to play. We allowed each guest to recommend three songs and basically handed Ray a giant playlist. He was able to (within a day or so) figure when to play each song, either at cocktail hour, reception, or the awkward gaps in between. Our guests had a blast going up and making song recommendations when the dance floor opened up! read more

Contacting Jeannie was one of the best decisions I've ever made for my wedding. I was in dire need for a multi-lingual MC for my English speaking friends, Mandarin Chinese speaking family and Cantonese speaking in-laws. Jeannie assured me she could do all three and even then I wasn't sure how it would turn out, but she made it amazing. The reception never had a moment's awkwardness and yet she managed to let everyone understand what exactly was going on. She highlighted the points of every speech well and managed the timing and events of the reception beautifully. As a bride, I had feared the reception would be awkward with no one utilizing the dance floor or socializing. I vocalized these concerns to Jeannie and she assured me nothing of the sort would happen and that I would have a wonderful and fun reception fit for the diverse group of guests I had invited. She truly delivered well beyond my expectations. My wedding was almost two years ago and my friends and family are still talking about the great time they had. She devised games and activities to fill up any dead time during the reception and engaged everyone to participate at least once. I had hired my own DJ and she was able to work with him flawlessly despite only having a couple of hours to coordinate. Overall, Jeannie was accommodating, professional and very friendly. Everyone was so impressed with her work that many of my guests and even my sister asked me for her contact information before the reception had even ended. She is a wonderful and amazing person and a great MC! I would highly recommend her. read more

wasabi(MC) and Jonsen(DJ) they are AMAZING!!! Very Professional, reliable, efficiency, most important is very REASONABLE PRICE. They work more than what we paid. Wedding day always chaos, lots of things happened, both of us have lots of thing needs to take care. We are very happy have them that we dont even need to worried about ANYTHING, only enjoy our wedding. Wasabi and Jonsen they have many wedding experience, they know how to do and what cannot do. They will give you great advice, listen what you needs and accommodate our requests. They will spend their time with our busy work schedule and reminds you little things before wedding. Also have higher efficiency of replying your email , meeting and go rehearsal with you. Wasabi can do bilingual with Chinese/english very well which our both parents could understand whats going on and know how to do. During all night reception, the game and timeline goes very smooth, nothing accident. All our guests told us our wedding was the best they had never attended, even my American friends told me the same thing too. Because of her professional, she know how to handle the incident and fix it right away. Games she provided, all guest having so much fun and so did us. Guests dont want to leave the wedding because was too much fun and they all stay until the end. Jonsen he is such a awesome DJ, he played all the songs what we likes and very appropriate time. All day long music enhance enjoyable moment. The light they provide create great atmosphere, successfully separate the environment from ceremony to reception. The equipment projector and screen have such a great highest quality than our computer, while playing our slideshow, the pictures and music were much greater than we watch at home with PC. If you are looking bilingual professional MC & DJ, I would strongly recommended both of them. Thank you for their such a hardworking. read more

Jeannie is awesome! I feel very fortunate to have met her. She was very easy to work with and she was extremely knowledgeable about pricing and details. She also has an amazing memory. Not sure how she remembers everything because I certainly didn't at the meeting with our venue. I was originally looking for a multi-lingual MC/Coordinator for our wedding - English /Cantonese /Mandarin. I was thinking wedding stuff should be simple. However, with my wife and my busy schedule, and my lack of knowledge of weddings, we found everything becoming difficult. After meeting Jeannie, we have realized all the stuff we overlooked. So luckily she was free to be our wedding planner. As our wedding planner she was wonderful. She sent us a variety of vendors to choose from. She was very professional and was able to give us her experiences with the vendors. She understood our schedules were very busy with work and she was able to work around it. She didn't pressure us, and we feel relieved after each time we met with her. In fact, she calls us up to meet up since I am forgetful. Whenever we had a question she always answers promptly. She was basically our in between person for contacting vendors. And she made such wonderful suggestions for the wedding. Allegro was able to take care of our slide show, program design, and place card design. They made a huge chart with our guests name and a table chart to make things a lot easier for our guests. This was very helpful since my wife and I are usually busy with work. Things were just going too slow by ourselves, so with Allegro, we were able to meet our wedding date with no problems. And I feel they did excellent work in customizing to our preferences. We didn't meet the staff of Allegro until our big day. We trusted Jeannie and her team on running the show. They were very friendly. We felt they did a great job. All our guests had a fun time at the wedding. I really wish we had found Allegro sooner. read more

Jeannie and her team did an amazing job coordinating our wedding day. I have no idea if we could survive that day without their help. Jeannie and her team were very calm, organize, and professional. They know how to handle stressful situation easily. I would recommend Allegro Event for your wedding planning needs. You will never regret it!! read more

We booked Allegro Event for our wedding reception on 8/6/16 for the MC&DJ service and everything went smoothly! *Pre-event: Jeannie was actually referred to by our photographer since we needed an MC that spoke English and Cantonese fluently. We wanted someone who was organized and can create a great atmosphere so that both our guests and our families can have fun. We had a great impression of Jeannie even before we met her because she was extremely prompt in her communication and always answered things in completion. Also the quote she quoted us was flat, no taxes or service fees, everything was upfront and easy. We met twice before the actually event, one as a consultation and one to create a timeline of events. Both times Jeannie were on time and accommodated our location (we live down in OC). She also coordinated all the music selection for the DJ before the event. *Event day: Jeannie and Adrian (our DJ) both showed up early to the venue to set up and make sure everything would go smoothly. MC- Jeannie was top notch, she knew exactly how to get the crowd going and break the ice. None of her jokes were corny and she remembered exactly everything that we asked her to announce. Our crowd loved her!!! Our friends thought she was a friend of ours because she blended in with the crowd (which is a GREAT thing) and never made herself the center of attention. When our parents realized she was Wasabi from 1430 their minds were blown, lol! DJ- We didn't meet Adrian the day of but he had all the music we requested ready and everything played at times we asked. Everything went good but once the dance floor opened... it was even BETTER. Adrian kept the dance floor open for over an hour and played music that everyone was able to dance to without the songs being inappropriate. After Jeannie left, he even substitute as the MC and made a couple announcements for us. If you are looking for affordable and professional entertainment for your reception, I will highly recommend Jeannie and Adrian. They were worth EVERY penny we paid and they turned our reception into a PAR-TAY. read more

It had almost been a year since our wedding at Universal Hilton, and my husband and I still couldn't forget what a great job Jeannie, Jonsen, and Stan had done for our wedding. We started off looking for a Cantonese/English bilingual MC. Jeannie was very professional, nice and extremely easy to work with. She provided us with a lot of information on how weddings were done these days, from the very traditional details to weddings with a modern touch. She spent time patiently with us to answer our questions and went through the wedding timeline: what games might be appropriate, music selections, speech suggestions, etc.. before the wedding and she was super supportive throughout our stressful planning time. During that time, we were also looking for an officiant and DJ. Jeannie offered to help us to be our officiant, and she went through the process to get certified to be an officiant for us! She also recommended Jonsen to be our DJ. Jonsen was also very easy to work with, and he accommodated our needs as much as possible, such as helping us on getting a projector, screen and lighting. He and his brother, Stan, did an awesome job on the day. The music went through smoothly during the ceremony and reception, and the music selection for our games was fantastic. Jeannie, Jonsen, and Stan coordinated well on the day and saved us a lot of worries. We also received a lot of good comments from our guests about how great they felt during our wedding and how much fun they had at our wedding. Our guests absolutely liked this team! All in all, Allegro was a great team to work with and was a vendor full of conscience. Price was reasonable, and people were super nice and easy to work along with. Smiles were always on their faces. Among all of the vendors we used for our wedding, Allegro definitely did the best job and made our experience very memorable: all promises were kept, which is very important, as some of you might have noticed from your own experience - once you signed the contract some vendors would become another person and would always say: I'm sorry; I think you may have misunderstood....I never recall saying that....blah blah blah. I will definitely recommend Allegro to my friends and relatives! I will give them more than 5 stars if Yelp let me do it! read more

Jeannie just MC'd and DJ'd our wedding this past Saturday 06-14-14 and we're sooooooo very grateful for her and her team!! First, we didn't have a wedding coordinator so Jeannie was kind enough to help us coordinate our ceremony. She met with us before to make sure she got the names of the family introduction correct and help us with our music!!! She helped mix our first dance song and add in last minute changes to our music requests! That's surely going out of her way to help us out. During the reception, she was organized and helped us maintain our timeline. We were on schedule with almost everything! The audience participation game was perfect. Many guests came to tell us how hilarious that game was and it really help us make our wedding a super FUN event! I know our guests had a good time, but more importantly we, the bride and groom, had a blast too! So happy and grateful we hired Jeannie! Thank you so much for making our wedding the most fun wedding we've ever been to!! Hahaha read more

My wife and I wanted a Chinese MC that had style, class and fun. Wasabi/Jeannie was the one. She accommodated all our needs, and had excellent ideas for games and how to make everything run smoothly. Straight from HK to CA, she was the best choice for us as my wife and I like to have best of both worlds.Fluent in Cantonese, Mandarin and English, she's the best Chinese MC in CA. All our guests loved her and complimented her games, allowing everyone to participate and not make it boring. She's also very professional and has many ideas, you will not go wrong with her being your MC for any event. read more

My husband and I recently got married and Jeannie was our MC and wedding planner. Jeannie was always there for us. She would come with us to vendor meetings and was always available anytime we had a question. During the planning process, we decided last minutes to move our reception to the lawn area and Jeannie helped us got good deal on the white dance floor. Jeannie and her assistants helped make our wedding day flawless. It was so easy to just not have to worry about anything because we knew Jeannie would take care of it. Also, Jeannie speaks fluent English/Cantonese/Mandarin which is perfect fit for our needs. She played fun games during the dinner and all our quests were all having fun. I highly recommend Allegro Event !! Thank You Jeannie!! read more

Jeannie and Jonsen did an excellent job as a MC/DJ team. Thanks to her tips, we went for her suggestion on setting up uplights in the room and indeed it looked gorgeous! We had some guests sitting at the patio area and the DJ knew an additional speaker should be set up at that area so they could also enjoy the great music! Our wedding was exciting all the way to the end and as many of our guests put it, they could never stop laughing thanks to her absolutely fun entertainment! If one wishes for a worry-free and entertaining event, please contact Jeannie! read more

I remember when my fiancé, now husband, was freaking out because our wedding was in 2 months and we were no where close to being done! With the help of Jeannie and her staff, however, they were able to get the job done. Jeannie assured us that there is still time and we didn't have to worry. Whew! That definitely gave us a sense of relief. :) She gave us a run down of what she needed for our wedding day to go smoothly. If we couldn't get certain things on our own Jeannie made the extra effort to get it for us. At that time we didn't even have a mc, florist, or bartender. Jeannie was able to refer us to Howard Lee, our MC, Mary Tang, our florist, and Wayne Yu, our bartender. All 3 of them were superb! In addition having Jeannie, Joanne, and Joy coordinate our wedding day for us was the best idea ever! We didn't have to worry about anything other than having fun! Thanks Allegro for making our wedding day a success! We couldn't have done it without you! :) read more

Thanks for holding my wedding. All of my guests really like it!!!! I will recommend her to all of my friends. If you have any events to hold, please try her. You will like it. read more

I was looking for a fluent Cantonese/English speaking MC for my dinner reception in the San Gabriel Valley area. I would have gone with a westernize MC but both my wife and I were trying to accommodate our parents' wishes and traditional values. We finally came across Allegro Event Inc and luckily they were available for our wedding date. We setup a face-to-face meeting to make sure that Allegro was exactly was we were looking for. After my (husband) first meeting with Jeannie, I was impress with her work ethic and operation. Jeannie was very detail in her work and laid out me an initial timeline of the dinner reception. Given the amount of things we covered from this first meeting, I immediately ask her for to send the contract so we can book her to MC our dinner reception. Jeannie accommodated our needs without any questions asked and provided suggestion to make it a fun and memorable dinner reception event. She's very responsive to email and text messages and provide me an update to any changes to her schedule. About a month before our wedding, Jeannie informed me that see was required to travel overseas for permanent job and can't MC our wedding. We were disappointed but she assured us that her replacement Howard (also with Allergo) will do an excellent MC job for our wedding since Howard was her wedding MC. Howard did a wonderful MC job at our wedding and make it a memorable night and kept the crowd entertained. A few of my parent's guest recognize Howard's voice since the is the radio talk host for AM 1430. Overall if anyone is looking for a Cantonese/English MC, Allergo Event Inc is the crew you need. Thanks again Jeannie and Howard. read more

We hired Jeannie to be our wedding reception MC and she did an AMAZING job! It was really important for us to have a bilingual MC (English & Mandarin) and Jeannie speaks both perfectly. We got so many compliments from our guests and they had a great time! She mingled with our guests and worked so well with our venue coordinator & day of coordinator that some of our guests thought she was a personal friend of ours and not someone that we hired :) Jeannie has years of experience planning & coordinating weddings so she gave us a lot of valuable input when we were putting together our reception timeline. She always made herself available by phone & email and was there for us each step of the way. She takes into consideration all of the details that are important to the couple and executes on it flawlessly. Thank you Jeannie!! read more

My wife and I were in need of a Chinese speaking MC for our wedding this summer and was referred to Wasabi AKA Jeannie by a friend. After meeting with multiple emcee's we couldn't pass her charm up and professionalism. When we had our face to face meeting she conducted business in a very professional and kind manner. She was willing to work with us on your wedding schedule and ultimately has you decide on what you want on your wedding day. Wasabi was on time and ready to work on the day of. She was very responsive on all calls,texts and has a bubbly, upbeat personality which you need in a MC. Her Mandarin and English was perfect and she does speak multiple languages if you are looking for more. Everything worked out exactly as planned and we couldn't ask for a more perfect wedding that night!! We had many compliments from our guests and said she was fun and overall conducted everything beyond what we expected. If you are looking for a MC, do yourself a favor and hire WASABI!! You will not regret this decision!!! Thanks Wasabi!! read more
