My husband and I got married at Roche Harbor Resort in May 2018, and Oliver was our…read moreceremony/cocktail hour musician, as well as our reception DJ. I had first reached out to Oliver when I was still in the beginning stages of planning my wedding, and he replied within hours to provide a list of his services and estimated pricing. I had not considered doing live music for my ceremony before, but after learning more about how Oliver also plays guitar, my then-fiance and I really liked the idea of having Oliver play from his extensive repertoire (he can play classical, bossa/Latin, jazz, and more contemporary songs). A few months prior to the wedding, I shared my Spotify playlist with Oliver so he can have an idea of what type of music we'd like to have during the dancing part of the reception. Communicating with Oliver was always seamless, and when I began to transition logistics to my wedding coordinator, everything kept going smoothly. My guests were really impressed that Oliver was both the guitarist and the DJ at our wedding. Oliver's music helped set the mood for my wedding, and I am so glad that he was a part of our special day!

Oliver was amazing! He added the special touch that really took our wedding over the top. He is an…read moreincredible musician, we couldn't be happier with the beautiful music he played during our ceremony. Our guest were really happy with the music selection and Oliver kept our dance floor busy throughout the night. Not only was he a delight to work with during the wedding day but he was super easy to work with from the very first inquiry. The booking process and payment method was extremely easy. Every time he communicated with us he was polite and it felt like we were dealing with a friend.

Our friends and family continue to comment on our pictures and how amazing our photographers must have been). With that we decided to use Evantide Photography for our wedding photos. Once again - GORGEOUS! Our wedding was in the Lake Tahoe area and Aaron and Meg spent a few days prior to the wedding scoping out the location, mountain lighting, and finding the perfect photo locations. I was incredibly hesitant to go with an out-of-town photographer, but with the pictures and locations you'd never guess they weren't native to the Tahoe region. In addition to the gorgeous photos, Aaron and Meg are simply wonderful to work with. When we first met them for our engagement photos we were laughing almost the entire time. What I really liked was that they told us what looked good and what .... could look better (as far as poses go). I'm really no model so I really appreciated having someone tell me where and how I should stand for the most-flattering photo. As far as the wedding goes, Meg was incredibly organized with timelines and the important-players. I had a wedding planner that I anticipated would help with that type of stuff - but instead Meg came through and picked up the slack so that I wouldn't have to. Long story short: My husband and I are so incredibly grateful for these two photo-geniuses.

Context: Our event had primarily Korean/Japanese/Chinese guests and I spent an hour or two of my…read morewedding evening crying due to Bewitched's unprofessionalism. During our consultation, Jordana spoke rudely and unprofessionally about one of our other vendors, which I know at least one other couple experienced. They had the foresight to go with another bartender. She was stubborn and passive-aggressive at times during our consultations and was upset about having to compromise with our caterer for space at our venue after we had some changes in plans. She also tracked every minute she spent on our project to charge us for at the end, which made me uncomfortable asking her to make adjustments as needed. Jordana confronted my sister at our events - once for not reusing her recyclable cup and again for complaining about her to the owners of the venue, and several of our guests complained to me after our welcome party that Jordana had been over-friendly and flirty with them. I know that bartenders put their licenses on the line if they over-serve, so to me it seemed it was a lack of experience and skill that led to the Bewitched team serving our white guests until they were drunk and some Asian guests were cut off while they were still completely sober. The team also did not know how to read the room as they were out on the dance floor and singing karaoke despite tension with me and some of our guests. I'll note that the drinks they made for us were superb, but were batched by Island Elixirs who they contract, not by Bewitched. I also found it extremely off-putting that I paid a 20% gratuity in advance and they still put out a tip jar. Overall I would not recommend Bewitched to anyone I know. I know few services will ever be completely perfect, but there was just too much to overlook. Two stars because they treated some of our guests well.

This is not even a comprehensive list -- they just kept doing absolutely amazing and special things for us, without us asking for any of it. If you're getting married in the San Juans, book this team without hesitating.

She went above and beyond by helping us with any pre-planning questions we had as well as providing vendor suggestions & even helping us scout locations. She was always incredibly quick to respond to email or phone calls and was a fantastically fun person to work with. When we had a last-minute change of venue she was there to help us figure out last minute decorations and was even able to provide some of the necessary pieces from her own collection. She totally saved the day more than once during our wedding. We couldn't have done it without her and would recommend her without reservation to anyone looking for help with their wedding. Her fee was totally reasonable & actually seemed low for the amount of help she ended up providing us.

I also needed someone who could filter through all my crazy ideas and help me make the right decisions. I'm so happy I found Renea. Her calm and easygoing personality is perfect for dealing with an excitable bride. I emailed her a million times a week and bombarded her with questions all year, and because of her I was able to figure out the right catering company, flowers, photo booth, espresso company, and more. Thanks to her, my poor husband didn't have to hear every single tiny detail, I had someone else to bounce it all off of! When things went wrong that were out of either of our control (like a venue change a month before the wedding - the horror!, as well as the wrong linen color = bride meltdown), she handled both with grace and calm and we got through it. She set up my millions of decorations on the day of, and through her experience and vendor relationships, made the day go off smoothly without a hitch!

We hired Wander for full-service planning, design, & management of our 30 person wedding. The cost…read morewas $9,000. We also used their rentals which were complimentary due to issues during the planning process. In short, the negatives outweighed the positives & I would not hire them again. Rentals + Design: The best part of engaging Wander was the design. Wander was exceptional at brainstorming & came up with creative ideas that reflected our love story. For example, Kelsey had the idea to bring in Jeopardy champions to host trivia at our reception. Sarah, likewise, out did herself by incorporating fun gaming elements & paper cranes. On the day of our wedding, I couldn't believe how beautiful and uniquely "us" it was. The dinner table looked like something out of a magazine. At Sarah's suggestion we rented colorful pillows, rugs, an arbor, a card box, easels, a bar cart, candles, & side tables from Wander. Sarah was also able to use Wander's grid panel's in really unique ways to create an origami station & a market flowers stand. Full-Service Planning: Overall, full-service planning was a big disappointment. Very important details were left for the last minute. For example, we didn't receive a floral estimate or contract until 19 days before our wedding. Likewise, there were consistent issues with communication. We had several vendors reach out to us & say that Wander was not providing them timely information. We also experienced this firsthand over email when we had to ask Wander the same questions repeatedly...sometimes going weeks without an answer. About 45 days before our wedding we started to panic over missing contracts, budget overages, & the general lack of communication from Wander. We had a budget of $35k for a 30 person wedding. We thought this was a reasonable number but shortly before the wedding we realized Wander had not been keeping a close eye on the budget & we were going to go over significantly. For just the wedding (including attire, not including rings) we paid $43,424.53 - that's 24% over budget. It's important to note that Wander realized mistakes had been made & tried to make it right. Shortly before our wedding Alissa took over communication, Sarah sat in on meetings, & they gave us almost $2,000 in rentals free of charge. Wedding Day Management: Wedding day management was hands down the most negative part of our experience. On the day of our wedding Wander unilaterally re-arrange the ceremony seating charts. As a result, the bride's family was not seated correctly. My cousin in-laws were given seats of honor front & center on the aisle in the first two rows. My grandmother & other members of my family that were meant to be honored, on the other hand, were given seats on the edge of the ceremony where it was difficult for them to see. Wander also re-arranged the reception floor plan. For example, the video guest book was supposed to have a background in front of a large window with trees. Instead, Wander told the videographer to set up in a poorly lit corner that featured the parking lot & fire alarm. Likewise, our favors (a "market flowers stand" where our guests could take home bouquets) was supposed to be placed near the exit. Instead, Wander placed it in a completely different room & most of our guests did not realize it was there. Unfortunately there were also a lot of little errors that made a big difference to the Wedding Day experience. For example, we had games planned for our reception & each guest was supposed to get a card under their plate charger to tell them their team. Not all guests got a card that identified their team. Wander was supposed to work with the photographer to ensure disability seating. They did not do that, so our elderly & disabled guests had to walk down a hill & then stand outside in the August heat for almost an hour with no place to sit during family photos. Some of the décor was not properly secured. At one point the "Trivia Night" sign fell off the wall & landed on my head.
