It is my pleasure to write this review for Durbo!! They are super qualified wordpress developers…read moremanaged by Dennis and Juna. Their whole entire team is awesome! From UX/UI to Web hosting, they do it all. My business is based in Los Angeles but we decided to work with Durbo in the Bay Area because they were just the best people we met during our search for an agency to build us a website for our business. After a long search for the right company we decided Durbo was the right company for us. They were super reasonable in terms of pricing and the quality of work was top notch! The pricing matched the quality of work. If you're looking to pay for cheap work, expect cheap quality. If you need a website that will WOW your customers, expect to pay for that wow factor. Several key factors made Durbo stand out versus other agencies. 1st) their design work is all custom and done in house. They can take photography, design graphics, icons, banners, and more. This really makes your website stand out when you don't have to use stock photography. 2nd) They offer amazing customer service and is highly responsive. They answered every single one of my email within 1 hour, even late at night. It seems like they never sleep....Finally, the Durbo team is EXPERTS at marketing. They helped me with developing a launch plan for my website. Complete with social media, PPC, and SEO. We have an in-house marketing team but they were able to give us a boost to help us make the most of our new website. After launching our website, we've seen amazing results. Our online sales has grown by 300%. We want to thank Durbo for all of the hard work they put into our website. Our existing customers and new ones are always complimenting us on our great website. This makes our small business feel so much more trustworthy and leave customers feeling like they will be taken care of. Overall, Durbo offer excellent service and I would not hesitate one but recommending to build any business website.

In the course of 10 weeks, I gained valuable experience in orchestrating social media, generating blogs, searching for venue options, and assisting in proposal assembly. The internship has helped me improve my writing and phone skills, introduced me to the lingo of the event and marketing industries, and made me more familiar with key venues in the Bay Area. Every day on the job, I was presented new responsibilities and challenges that made my position feel significant and helped to boost my confidence. Amanda is a pleasure to work with and she clearly enjoys her work. Her dedication to her business is inspiring and I appreciate her teaching me the ropes of event marketing. Thank you to all at ABCey Events!

I spoke with several event planners and Amanda quickly stood out. She was responsive, flexible, had good prices, and aimed to please. I decided to hire them and it was the right decision! Amanda and her crew are amazing. I have very high expectations, and they exceeded each and every one. I had a specific theme that I wanted to do and they helped us execute it flawlessly. They helped with everything - picking the venue, selecting colors and decor, customizing the menu and drinks, and helped work with our tight budget given the down economy. My coworkers raved about the sumptuous food and how beautifully everything was presented. What they didn't know was the extra mile that Amanda and her staff had gone to in order to provide us with the extras we needed for the event and all the last minute changes that occurred. ABCey Events is a company you want to use. Just say what you want, and trust them to make it happen. I plan on using them again!

Joyce and Dana from Events of Distinction are the team to make your day a stress-free and memorable day for you. Joyce was always one step ahead of me - had the best recommendations for vendors, and brilliantly creative ideas. Our wedding was so gorgeous - and I don't say this because I am biased either. We are still getting compliments from friends/family - all of us slightly depressed that it's over. Joyce and Dana go above and beyond to make sure you are stress-free and feeling happy with your day. Choose Events of Distinction and you won't be disappointed.

I worked with Stephanie on a week long pharma launch meeting for 600 people...that she planned in 3 weeks! She's a big picture person, but knows it's all about every last detail, and has a unique personal touch. Whatever kind of corporate event is called for, Stephanie can execute! Interesting Factoid about Stephanie:I had the pleasure of being her tent-mate during the AVON Breast Cancer 2 day walk...and i would recommend her as a good camping partner as well!!! So even though she knows (and prefers) the 5 star hotels...Stephanie is very diverse!!!

I worked with Jamie as a photographer on two events in the past year. One in California and the…read moreother in Colorado. There is a good reason why they flew her into Colorado, Jamie performs with aplomb in challenging situations and she had challenges like no other in Colorado. The preceding week Boulder experienced one of the worst weather events in recent history, extreme flooding and infrastructure damage. Somehow, and I really don't know how, she was able to pull the two day event together with minimal issues. The second event, which was held in San Francisco. Happily took a more normal course in regards to extraneous and unrelated events. All of my interactions with Jamie were pleasurable and there was both open and positive lines of communications for both events. As a contractor that makes my job much easier and more pleasurable. Jamie's talent and passion for the work she does shines through with her smiles, joyfulness and unaffected manner. I hope I get to work alongside her in the near future.

We used Nicole and Paul as the photographers for our wedding in September 2019. From the time we…read moremet Nicole for our pre-booking consultation, we knew she'd be great to work with. She is so bubbly and fun and instantly makes you feel at ease. Her prices were really reasonable given that you get two shooters (her and her husband) as well an engagement shoot. She visits each location ahead of time to scout out the best spots and where the lighting is best. My husband and I had never taken professional photos before, but she and Paul made it so fun and easy when we did our engagement shoot. She even sent us a surprise gift a few weeks before the wedding. Before the wedding, she sent out a detailed questionnaire to gather information including all of our family photo groupings. The day of the wedding, she did a great job keeping us on track and making sure we stuck to the schedule that we had come up with ahead of time. It was great having her and Paul since we got many more pictures than if we had just had one photographer. We felt at ease taking pictures with them and got several comments from family members saying how impressed they were with Nicole and Paul. When it came time to take the family photos, she and Paul just started running through the list that my husband and I put together and everything was really efficient and organized. Originally she had said we would get our photos 6 to 8 weeks after the wedding, but she got them to us much earlier in 3 weeks. The photos are amazing and I can't stop looking at them and thinking about how well they turned out. I would highly recommend Nicole and Paul for your wedding. You won't be disappointed!

Nautilus Lens Photography (NLP) was one of the best decisions that we made for our wedding.

From the pre-work that they do to find a great location to getting photos back very quickly NLP allows you to worry about other parts of your big day. We were nervous about taking photos together but NLP's experience and fantastic personalities put us at ease so that we could take amazing photos and have fun doing it! NLP really take the time and effort to get to know the people that they're shooting and it really pays off! We would 100% use them again in the future!

We reached out to Able Bartenders in February 2020 for a previously scheduled June 2020 wedding based on The Knot reviews. We received a decent quote from Bill Sinclair, and communication was initially great. Throughout several Covid postponements, we kept in touch. Our wedding date was finalized for June 2022, and many previous vendors, including Able Bartenders, remained on board. On April 30, 2022, Bill Sinclair and I had a phone appointment to discuss any changes and confirm our selections for the event date. I asked for an updated invoice and was told that I would receive it in 3 days. He also requested that I pay a $200 deposit (even though the original contract/agreement required no deposit) due to Covid hardship. I made this $200 payment in good faith. When more than 3 days had passed (15 days to be exact), and I hadn't received an updated invoice, I sent a follow-up email. I didn't understand why it was so difficult to update a text document with the new event date, cost of services requested, deposit paid, and balance due. They were not able to follow through with their own promise and kept failing to provide an updated invoice. All they gave us was an excuse about not being able to secure a loan or a loan that would materialize by the end of May. That wasn't reassuring, and we did not need to know the loan status of this business. We needed to know that the vendor would follow through with their promise, and they were not able. We saw this as a red flag and decided to find a new bartender. Able Bartenders wished us happiness with our decision. I provided gentle reminders about refunding our deposit, and they were acknowledged with "soon" each time. Our event has already occurred, and we still have not received our deposit. They took our money without providing ANY services other than unfulfilled promises. If they had been able to provide us with an updated invoice, we would've stuck with them. I have told friends and other vendors to stay away from Able Bartenders because they are NOT ABLE to conduct reliable business anymore.

As someone who has to plan big corporate…read moreevents, I feel very fortunate to have Amy Trapp and the entire Jane Hammond Events team behind me. They are amazing executors and can essentially bring anything you want to life. I've worked with Amy for two years in a row, the first party with 350 guests and the most recent party with 800 guests. Both events, different in scale and theme, were executed so well by the team and had rave reviews from the guests. The quality of their food is off the CHARTS and is always a highlight for the guests. The amazing food makes me want to hire them for my events year after year but the level of service, creativity, kindness, attention to detail, and execution seals the deal. If you have any hesitation about booking them for your next event, don't. So many thanks to Jane Hammond Events for always going above and beyond and making my job less stressful. ;)
