I planned my…read morehusband a surprise birthday party while I was traveling internationally and Mark was really helpful. He was very communicative--even with the 13 hour time difference, I was able to coordinate with him easily. I had my husband be taken out of the house three hours before the party to set up... the balloon arch was delivered right on time. The photographer showed up half an hour earlier than the party. The magician I wanted to hire was booked somewhere else and I only found out a few days before, but the balloon sculpture artist Mark recommended instead was an absolute hit with the kids as well as the adults, which was a pleasant surprise. He made my husband the most outrageous birthday hat. Right when he was supposed to be done, one of the kids tripped and popped his balloons and got upset, and he stayed longer to make him (and a few other stragglers) more balloons. Truly kind. The photographer David was also really so helpful, friendly, and on it! He came early and helped with some of the set up... he was attentive and also very nice to talk to. Very natural (sometimes it's awkward when a photographer's in your face taking pictures but it wasn't awkward at all). We got a USB full of pictures right after the party! Really, what a great experience. My husband had a really great time. Thank you Mark and company!

Another only had event staffing. I needed my party to be the bomb so when I called Social Pineapple these guys were on point. I was nervous at first because they didn't have any reviews yet but Bladimir and Denise told me they were doing event management on the side for a few years and they did so well that they needed to register with the state! They brought a bouncy house, face painters, DJ, MC, Photobooth and a private chef to BBQ my sons 4th birthday. I can assure it's a day that he will never forget! Oh and I bought a spongebob costume and Bladimir volunteered to wear it! Haha good people.

I was blown away by all the eye catching details that was displayed through out the entire party from the main table to the party favors. With rustic vibes and a hint of glam everything was put together beautifully. Aside from everything looking perfect, Xin was very affordable for the quality of her services, helping with everything along the way including mapping out the venue and styling my daughter. She was always easy to reach and prompt with getting back to me. Absolutely loved working with her. My guests were happy and the kids were also entertained. The photographer was also very professional and so talented. She captured the event so well that someone can feel like they were there. The pastries and cake were also beautiful and delicious. Moist, not too sweet or greasy. Everything went so smooth and I couldn't ask for more. We are definitely going to hire Xin to style our next big event. It would save us tons of headaches and create such wonderful memories. We really enjoyed the party's relaxed atmosphere. We were able to enjoy our children and play with the party favors. The kids loved the party entertainment. Face painting!! My son had an amazing monster truck drawn on his face and our baby girl had a flower. All in all we really enjoyed the flow of the party and the beautiful decor. She is so talented. Thank you so much for making our day perfect.

I was at a friends daughter's bat mitzvah several weeks ago that was planned by Amy Winters Event.....I was expecting the same, usual run of the mill parties. Loud music, lots of kids and lots of edible food. At arriving at the venue, I was floored. The decorations, the set up and ambiance was truly amazing. The space was magical. It was transformed into a fantasy world I could not have imagined. I complimented the parents of the party and they pointed to a woman across the dance floor. They told me that her name is Amy from Amy Winters Events. I have since hired Amy to plan my wedding. If Amy can create a fantasy for a 13 year old. I am sure she can plan my wedding with the same creative enthusiasm. I shall keep you posted

I…read moreengaged Amy Winters Events last December for my son's Bar Mitzvah in September and she was supposed to help me along in the process and make my life planning a monumental event much easier. Unfortuneately that was not the case. She was impossible to work with and whatever I asked her to do she basically had little to no interest in helping me along. She was happy to take my money and promised that she would do anything and everything for the event. The contract read coordinate, design and execute affair. She did not coordinate, she certainly did not design and I guess she executed but was happy to leave early that evening and never even mention that she was going. I had no guidance, I did invitations, accessories, party favors, bags, labels,etc. I asked her for help with entertainment for the kids she told me to talk to the entertainment company(pure energy who is amazing). I had nothing but attitude for 8 months. I would have had more pleasure burning my money. For all you out there looking for a NYC/NJ based party planner this was not the best choice.

Unable to comment directly to Jerry so here is my response…read more Your response is laughable! My father in law told you during our wedding our we were not happy with you and you made a rude comment to him as well. LAUREN spoke with my husband not me, so I did not eagerly accept a refund. Another lie told by you. She actually told my husband she couldn't believe how much went wrong and specifically asked us to only communicate with her because of your unprofessional response. I have screenshots of Lauren recommending your company without disclosing she works for you which I am happy to post at any time. And your son in law posted a review just below me at Nanina's without indicating he's related to you! It's not a smear campaign to leave an honest review and it's more of a reflection of you to not be able to take the feedback than me as a bride to express my feelings. That's an embarrassing take for you to have as a professional company when all of my above comments are true. I did inform you of family dynamics, and requested 0 surprises. We had multiple conversations while discussing introductions and what not where I made it clear we did not want attention brought to the families, just because you chose to ignore it doesn't mean it wasn't discussed. All of my vendors were told. You were instructed to ask everyone to leave for a final dance, and we stood in position as we were directed by Jason. You chose not to follow our request and encouraged people to stay before starting the song. Jerry's comment was uncalled for regardless of his intentions. It is not your place to make comments like that to people who are paying you to perform a service. It doesn't matter what music other guests request, the bride and groom who paid you did not at any time indicate that's what we wanted played. You knew we lived out of state because it was discussed multiple times during our phone calls! I NEVER spoke to you again after sending my email and stating anything else is a blatant lie. Lauren spoke with my husband. Your other reviews have nothing to do with me. The pictures from the end of my reception where we had a good time were AFTER Jerry had made me cry for telling me everyone was going to be mad at me. I chose to make the best of my wedding despite your unprofessional attitude. Those are from the last 2 songs of the night. Your response should prove to everyone not to work with you moving forward! Anyone that doesn't believe me is more than welcome to contact Nanina's, specifically our Maître D Jason who is not only aware of the situation, but also told us during our reception how inappropriate your comment to me was. My photographer was also aware of your actions and would be happy to speak with anyone as well.

From our first consultation through the planning process with their incredibly handy, Spotify-enabled portal, and up through the Big Day, Jerry, Lauren, and the entire Hot Party team had our back. A month away from the wedding we had a gigantic request that was sure to blow up our timeline and completely change their plan of action: in lieu of a first dance, we would be performing a first duet. Rather than telling us that it would not work, Jerry immediately put a plan into action to bring additional live performance equipment, making our special day even more special. The music was perfect all evening, the mics for the duet and the ceremony were crisp and clear, and the success of the entire evening really comes down to the expertise and attention to detail provided by HPE.
