We hired SPARK for a corporate event at Dos Pueblos Orchid Farms. It is a unique venue for a…read morecorporate event because the location does not have wifi, has bad cell service, and has minimal electrical outlets.  SPARK provided a very detailed quote and included things I forgot to even mention or didn't know we needed. They're very familiar with the venues in the area. They worked well based on the budget we had. Alex and his team also went to the venue for a site visit where we discovered a huge echo in the venue. They were creative and worked on ways to fix it. They also made sure our video wall wouldn't have a glare and we would have shading for when the sun hit directly on the greenhouse. Alex was also great as we had a bunch of performers who needed additional A/V support. He reached out to them and knew exactly what they needed. The team spent hours and hours setting up. It really was a huge production. On the day of, everything was great! The wifi went smoothly and the on-site techs were helpful. One thing to note is that our event was not completely waterproof so when it rained between day 1 and 2, SPARK had to make a few adjustments as some outlets weren't functioning and there was water on some things. They did so quickly before guests arrived. The before & after pictures don't even show all the work put into this! Alex and his team should have been hired for Fyre Fest because they are amazing with producing great events no matter what difficulties there are.

The night of the party (which was outdoors), there was a light sprinkle in the air, and Dalina helped to make sure we had things set up properly and that the kids all had the best of times. Together, we worked through all the day-of-details, and we were able to have an affordable, beautiful and memorable celebration for my daughter's momentous occasion. I would highly recommend Dalina. She is a master of parties big or small, is a wealth of information and is super dependable. Having someone like her in your corner, who has many years of experience, a great rapport with so many vendors, and who can help with ideas and decisions, is priceless. Don't wait-- hire her now!

When I arrived at the venue, it looked like a wedding venue, wildflowers spread throughout, a dance floor space, beautiful food arrangement, menus. I was in awe! Throughout the night they were so attentive and made everything go so smoothly so we could enjoy ourselves. I would 10/10 recommend this power duo to anyone!

Jess is truly the best of the best, top tier wedding planner. I didn't realize what full-service…read moreplanning meant until Jess literally made everything exceptionally easy, fun and memorable. Jess goes the extra mile with literally every detail for the wedding, I don't know how she does it!! I was so bad at the correspondence and easily got overwhelmed by all the tasks at hand, but Jess was right there the whole time, and if I was behind on a task, she would text/call me and then take care of the corresponding with the vendor. This was massive for me, because as a bride planning a wedding all while working full time and planning a move across the country, I relied on Jess for so much and she always had my back and made all the planning x10000 easier than I expected! Jess is one of those magical people who you just want on your team because she get sh*t done, has fun, and thinks of details you would've never thought of. We got married at my husband's house and had to install literally everything from a outdoor kitchen, bathrooms, electric, sound, and transform a tennis court into a tented venue. This was a massive undertaking, and one that most could not be trusted with...but Jess stayed with us the entire week leading up to the wedding to make sure every layer to the event set up was perfectly crafted. The house was so beautiful and the transformation was unlike anything I've ever seen. The way Jess is able to so effortlessly collaborate with and manage the dozens of vendors working at the house was CEO vibes. She is so calm, but energetic, direct, but empathetic, creative, but strategic. Jess brings it all to the table, and the table is freaking beautiful!! I know everyone involved in the wedding would say the same :) Which also, Jess has the most insanely talented, vetted, fun list of vendors to work with- everyone she recommended was 10/10. I had mentioned in the passing that it would be fun to incorporate our friend's favorite shots at the wedding, but it seemed challenging because it was a shot of tequila, with clementines and a splash of cinnamon. I had forgotten about it till at the wedding, Jess came on the dance floor serving a platter full of tequila shots, and clementines dusted in cinnamon and was passing them out to all our friends. This was such a highlight because all our friends just flocked to Jess on the dance floor, and it perfectly encapsulated her attention to detail, hard work, and crazy fun loving spirit. Jess we love you so much!! Working with you has been such a joy, and no one could've made this day more fun and perfect, THANK YOU for going above and beyond with everything!!!! Luv Lexi + Jensen

On the day of our wedding, she was on top of everything so we didn't have to think or worry about a thing.

I was trying to do a lot of it myself and realized 1 month before that I was missing about 4 vendors. Wedding planning is a lot of work and if you think you are going to do it without help... good luck. Your friends and family keep saying "just let us know what you need" so you ask them to do something mundane that you don't have time for and guess what? They don't have time either. Don't trust people you aren't paying to get things done! (You can't yell at them if you aren't paying! ;) I needed Joy. She gave me great vendor recommendations and I was able to get everyone booked very fast as well as looked over my existing contracts. She also did an amazing job the day of. For some reason someone had forgotten to bring the mixers, soda and water and Joy went to the store herself to pick these things up. I honestly believe she will do whatever is in her power to make your day smooth and fun!
