We liked what John had to offer and decided to contract with him at the first meeting. He was very professional and very personable as well. He gave us a workbook to detail our musical interests, which songs to play for which special dance, etc. At our second meeting, we went over the workbook information and discussed the schedule for the reception. He was very good about getting down the details of exactly what we wanted and what his exact role would be. He made good suggestions based on his experience. He did an excellent job at the wedding reception, playing music that fit our tastes and making announcements or encouraging dancing. We had no worries the entire time. John truly made our wedding reception special.

We used Matt Ryan DJ service for our wedding and could not have asked for a better DJ…read more First, we met with Matt Ryan to book the event. Considering the fact that my handsome husband does not always like the top forty stations, it is amazing he ended up walking out of Matt Ryan's office telling me that we had to go with him. He was very friendly, very reasonably priced for a travel DJ, and had a great playlist. We booked immediately. Then when it came to the month before the wedding we spoke with one of Matt's DJ's (Alex) who would actually be at our event). First we were a bit skeptical because we knew we wanted a great DJ and were not sure how experienced he would be. But, we didn't say anything and watched Alex's communication to see if he would be a good fit. Let me just say it worked out great. Alex was easy to talk to, great to work with, and never once made the process more difficult then it needed to be. Alex was on time to the event (he may have been early but with how busy we were I couldn't tell you when exactly he got to our wedding venue), was laid back and went with the flow, and most importantly he had everyone dancing and having a great time. We couldn't have asked for a better DJ. We would highly recommend them again!

Know why it's called The Awesomatic? Because it's totally awesome. I'm trying to think of a word…read morebetter than that... but nothing's coming to me at the moment. You get the picture (horrible pun not intended). For this year's Pride (2014), I was given an amazing space on the patio, nestled in between the DJ, the dancefloor, and the drinks. I just *had* to do something fun. I thought -- what better way to remember such a fun night than with a great photo booth? I had seen The Awesomatic's ads in my Facebook feed (you know, the ones with Jeni's head popping out), so I decided to shoot them an email. Lo and behold, they were free the Friday night of Pride, and they were happy to accommodate me. After a few back and forth emails with the owner, Levi (who I'm pretty positive I've called Eli... sorry!), we had a plan for the Pride photo booth. Levi was super laid-back and easy to work with. In fact, I was the hot mess customer who was slow to answer emails and kept asking them if they could stay longer at the event -- but they handled it all beautifully. If you've never seen The Awesomatic, let me tell you -- it's no ordinary photo booth. This one's magical. Why, you ask? It's not the super creative backdrops they can make, or the crazy friendly staff, or even the designs they can print directly on the photos... nope, it's the machine itself that really makes the magic happen. The Awesomatic is a free-standing computer/camera combo where you can see yourself before the picture is taken! In other words, you and your friends can get in the silliest poses and look amazing in your pictures -- because you know exactly how you'll look before photo is ever taken. It's a big, digital screen that you control yourself -- when you take the picture and how many you take. Once you've taken the best new profile picture, you'll get a printed photo and will later have access to it digitally. There's just something about The Awesomatic that encourages people at your event to have fun. I absolutely cannot wait to hire them again! PS Shout-out to my boy, Austin, the most awesome photo booth attendant ever. He was a trooper and worked the Pride patio for like 8 hours!

From start to finish, Meggie and her team were organized, professional and put everyone at ease, even during a blizzard. She also had just the right balance between being directive, yet allowing everyone to give input and make their preferences known. I recommend her !

It is difficult for me to even know where to begin in describing what a gift Meggie Francisco is…read more Meggie does not just plan events--she designs, executes, and creates a deeply purposeful and indelible gathering that sets the stage for joy, celebration, and meaningful moments. I speak from the perspective of both the bridesmaid and the bride. As a bridesmaid in one of her weddings, I truly had the most stress-free day. Meggie took care of each and every detail with the utmost professionalism and careful communication, which meant that as bridesmaids we were free to focus 100% on celebrating the bride and groom. It's the only time I've been a bridesmaid without any confusion or harried running around behind the scenes on that day. Meggie provided me a true gift in getting to be fully present in every way for my dear friends. As the bride, Meggie was a fierce, strong, yet graceful, servant-hearted leader. She is a professional in every way, a clean communicator, and yet a genuine friend. She seamlessly carries all these roles in order to nail every detail. From having to navigate finding me a new hair stylist in the last two weeks, to finding creative ways to execute our dreams within our budget, to putting out last-minute fires, to building an incredible wedding vendor team that pulled off everything without a hitch, Meggie does everything. And the best part, she does it all with grace, class, and a genuine compassion that makes her an amazing gem. Please look no further! Meggie Francisco is truly world-class.

You need to know a few things before considering this venue. We were told one price at contract…read moresigning, then when it came time for the final payment I noticed that it seemed high. They had raised their prices and also charged me for things that were not supposed to be there. It was a LOT of money. They made me send them a copy of the pamphlet that they gave us during our first meeting to prove the price difference! This is so unprofessional. Also, coordinators were young and must have been trained to say, "of course" and "absolutely". That's fine, but after a while, I just want things done as we discussed. Ours (Harper) left the company a few weeks before the wedding, and when I requested a face to face meeting with the new one that we had never met, she said that they normally don't do that, but she would. Um yes. And even though we went through details with her(Mia), there were things that were missed. We specifically asked for no champagne toast, yet flutes were on the tables and they started pouring at 2 tables before I caught them. There were other things, like a non working fridge in the get ready bridal area (so warm drinks), food that was already out when we arrived with flies landing on it, the wrong cross rented from Serendipity, when we specifically asked for the thicker/more substantial one, plastic black hangers left on two of our floral arrangements lining the ceremony aisle (Fiori Florals) and a cake that was NOTHING like we selected. It was on a black stand when we selected gold, we paid $60 extra for pearls and there were maybe 12 on the whole cake, the gold icing was yellow/brown, and it tasted and looked nothing like what we originally ate and chose. To top it off, it was dry and crumbly. We ended up giving it to our hotel staff. Mia did not seem prepared to run a wedding. She sent the MOB down the aisle with an usher walking back, so they had to move to the side. There were good things about the venue, but just be prepared for many things to go wrong. I had every checklist in the world, and it still wasn't enough.

The professionalism and attitude of the venue manager was very horrid. My cousin just had his…read morewedding there a few days ago and I have never felt more disrespected by this venue's manager/planner/owner, whomever she is! When my father and I arrived a half-hour early, we found the door locked as it started to pour rain and thunder and lightning. The rest of the family was already inside setting up and getting ready. This so-called venue manager or whomever was in charge finally saw us standing outside and opened the door and rudely asked with an attitude, "Are you family?" What kind of a question, IS THAT? Also, why in the hell would you lock the outer doors of a wedding venue that is currently occupied? That is a fire hazard! Also, if you have posted business hours, you are not allowed to lock the doors, regardless of whether its by appointment only or not. I was half expecting her to be a gracious hostess and say, "Hello, welcome, are you here for the wedding? Please come in." INSTEAD, before I can respond, she continues to say, "We don't let guests in before the start time, only family." Of course I reply politely as I can that we are family. My father and I were the only two members of my aunt's side of the family attending this wedding. Everyone else that was attending was the bride's family members who came all the way from India, Canada and other parts of the world, and my Uncle's family members who were all local plus family friends. They only had 9 tables and not everyone even came. I'm actually very glad that my mother, who is wheelchair-bound, could not attend because this building is not ADA compliant by law. She wouldn't have been able to use the bathroom or enjoy the patios without someone helping her up and down. When we got inside and greeted our family, I could clearly see that this wedding was not going to be starting right at 5:30. (I even had offered when we arrived to help put out the name cards for the tables on the guestbook table for them so they could focus on the food and the bar, and I was immediately dismissed with the rudest attitude from this manager.) They claimed it was because of the rain and that they were going to have the blessing outside and were trying to wait for it to pass, but by 5:30, they hadn't even bothered to open up the bar or put out hor d'oeuvres. They didn't even have coffee made, and we couldn't even get a soda, they just had water and tea ready. It wasn't until 6 or so that my cousin finally walked over to the bar, told the bartender he was the groom and wanted the bar opened because people were stuck standing around the staff scrambled to finish setting things up they should have been brought out at 5:25 PM. My cousin told me that because they didn't open the bar on time, they didn't use their money's worth of alcohol. People were coming to this blessing/reception for an already married couple, expecting some sort of food for them to much on right away, and it wasn't served until nearly 7 PM. it was nearly 8 PM by the time I got my food. The salmon was so dry and overcooked and was cold because of their delay. The staff was also rushing around trying to move things along once it got going. They brought out COLD PIZZA at 10 PM that should have been brought out way earlier. They didn't cut the cake until after everyone was done eating. It should have been cut up while everyone was being served their plated dinners. As someone who has worked in the customer/food service/retail/restaurant industries for the last 20+ years, I WOULD NEVER EVER run my own business like this, treat my clients' guests horribly. I always LOVE it when I work and it's clear I'm struggling and my customers or regulars immediately ask to help. I have never seen so much disorganization from a venue since my own wedding at a completely different venue in another county in Ohio five and a half years ago. Don't use this venue, clearly others have had the same issue with the professionalism and speediness of this staff.
