The inside was dark and barely occupied but also had a full bar and DJ. The event definitely brings in a crowd and the DJs keep the party rockin'. They also have vendors that sell food and outdoor bars set up. Everyone is so friendly and the crowd showcases the diversity of what is The Bay. Definitely a lot of beautiful human beings and nothing but positive energy throughout the event. I met some folks who were in town visiting from the East Coast which shows the power of influence of Toasted Life as a company. Can't wait for another one, this time I won't blackout. HAHA!

Tanoa is a dream to work with! He's sweet, professional, reliable and totally self-sufficienct. So,…read morewhen I'm running around getting vendors set-up for a big event, I never have to worry about Tanoa. He shows up on time, brings all his own equipment and sets up without me having to say a word. This is exactly the kind of DJ every event planner wants! Plus, he spins vinyl exclusively, and can customize the jams for whatever your theme is. He'll make announcements on behalf of the organizers (in a snazzy radio DJ voice), and doesn't get annoyed when I ask to interrupt and make a speech. A DJ with maximum cool and minimum ego...score! Apparently, he can produce an entire event with props, decor, lighting, etc. So, if you're in need of full service event planning, talk to Tanoa before you get too far. He's definitely a party pro!

I really can't say enough great things about this catering company. I was introduced to Lunch-In…read moreabout a year ago and have used their services on an almost weekly basis ever since. Here's why: Sales and Service- Antoinette is the owner/founder and does an amazing job of getting all the necessary information and anticipating the needs for the specific meeting or event that is being catered. Attention to detail is key and most people could learn how to execute this skill, so this is not actually where I give the most credit. What's most impressive is that she remembers all of our conversations and can recall details from previous orders quickly. The more we work together, the less I have to explain because if she encountered it once, she remembers forever. Food quality and consistency- The food is consistently amazing ALWAYS. Whether it's catering for 10 or catering for 250, the food has always been great. The head Chef, Sean, is a Culinary Academy graduate and takes the most pride in his product. They are very open and proud of where their ingredients and inspiration come from and it truly shows on every plate of food. I've received incredible feedback over the past year from attendees about how great the food is. Also, if you want something that isn't on the menu, they will work extremely hard to get whatever it is you're asking for, I've done many times. But most notable, in the past, I wanted a certain type of cupcake that they simply didn't make. But instead of saying, "I'm sorry, maybe I can interest you in....", Antoinette made sure she found exactly what I wanted and facilitated the entire ordering and delivery process. Sadly, it's very hard to get that service from a caterer these days. Business model- I like that Lunch-In was founded, and is run by a family, because it means everything they do has their name on it. They work very hard for me as a client because if the business isn't successful, they aren't successful and I personally I find it easier to work with and trust a person who works under those types of guidelines. Lucky for me - it's been great so far. I look forward to working with Lunch-In for many years to come.

I came across Leyla's work on Instagram (@leyism) which lead me to her website (www.leylaismen.com) when I got pregnant I knew I wanted this experience to be documented, thankfully Leyla specializes in Wedding, Newborn, Birthing, Maternity, & other work as well. Her profile/portfolio is absolutely beautiful. Her energy is so free flowing & positive, she truly loves what she does it's not just a job to her which makes the photos you'll receive so much better because they show all the raw emotions you've wanted to capture. Leyla shot my labor & delivery along with my newborn photos & honestly the rest of my photos for the rest of my life, she is absolutely one of the best photographers in the Bay. I couldn't have asked for a better relationship.

I've been having issues with my lab pup and couldn't afford lessons but here comes Leyla to the rescue. During this hectic COVID era she was able to show me (via Facetime) how to get my dog to listen and help me teach her tricks I never thought were possible. She went from only being able to sit to now shake, spin, lay down and jump. Now my pup is excited to do them all the time! Leyla is probably the best animal trainer I've come across and that's coming from someone who's been around people who think they know dogs. She's as good a trainer as she is a photographer. Now just a jack of all trades but a true ace of all spades.

She was very relaxing and guided us through all the different poses. I didn't feel rushed or uncomfortable and the hour flew by rather quickly. My mind cleared up significantly after we were done. I'm so glad I stopped by. I would definitely recommend this studio for those who would like to take an hour out of their day to destress.
