    Dan and his team at Creative Happens Events Services were incredibly helpful and responsive! I feel that I really got a bang for my buck and then some! Along with great communication, you can rest assured that Dan and his team are delivering quality services that best suits their customers' needs! For example, I used my own template for the photobooth prints and they made sure this template fit their printer perfectly! They also provided the background that I requested. I'm so happy with the photos and the attendant's amazing customer service! 10/10 would recommend and look forward to using their services again in the future!

    Our wedding day was last Friday, and I'm thrilled to write this review for Devon and Dan at Creative Happens. We hired them for day-of coordination, and they did a wonderful job. Our 90-person wedding ceremony and reception went off without a hitch! Dan and Devon were very communicative ahead of the day and helped us develop an incredibly helpful and detailed event schedule. I work in digital media and have seen MANY spreadsheets, but their event spreadsheet impressed even me. It was wonderful being able to refer to the spreadsheet and see what needed to happen down to the minute. Devon made sure that everything was set up properly on the day, and that the room switched over perfectly from ceremony to reception. She ensured that every table was perfect, and worked well with my family members. While I was hiding from guests ahead of the ceremony, she even brought me a plate of snacks! What an angel. I am so grateful for Dan and Devon's help in making our wedding day wonderful! Thank you both!

    Chris is truly an angel! You guys really went above and beyond to make our wedding day a dream come true! The way everything was handled and coordinated for us was just exceptional, true professionalism. Thank you again from the bottom our hearts, our wedding was dreamy and perfect all thanks to you!

    We are so glad we booked Creative Happens for our July 30 wedding! We received quality day-of coordination services that were thankfully within our budget. Our coordinator, Jessica, was so on top of everything and was just overall amazing from start of planning to the day of. During the two planning sessions we had, she was very reassuring and gave me confidence about the whole process when I had some worries and concerns. At that point I knew I could trust her to handle everything, and with no surprise she delivered! She went above and beyond, especially when it came to flagging me and my bridesmaids down on the hotel grounds while we were taking photos and then transporting all of our heavy boxes of fragile candle decor/party favors from my bridal bungalow to our reception at Palos Verdes Golf Club. Everything went smoothly at our reception all thanks to her and her assistant so that we could just enjoy the day with no stress. She was very accommodating every step of the way, and that just made our big day feel that much more special. We highly recommend Jessica as anyone's day-of coordinator. Dan was also very professional, responsive, and easy to communicate with via email. Thank you again so much for everything, Dan and Jessica! It's so very much appreciated!

    Hired Creative Happens for a Day-of-Coordinator. Dan assigned us Amanda and her assistant Tandaya. Originally found this company via the Thumbtack app. I'm SO glad that I ended up hiring a day-of-coordinator, and that we were able to work with Amanda. She was very professional and covered all the extra bases that we (my husband and I) may not have touched down on as much as we should have. She and Tandaya closed all of the gaps that we didn't have time to keep an eye on and helped to bind the events together seamlessly.

    Daniel and the Creative Happens team were the PERFECT day-of planners for our backyard wedding. Since we were not having our event at a wedding-venue, there were a lot of logistics that we had to "own" ourselves. Daniel helped make sure we were checking all of the boxes beforehand and allowed us to focus on our celebrations day-of while he managed all of the moving pieces. We felt totally confident throughout our wedding because we knew Daniel and team were on top of it. I give them my highest recommendation!

There is a trolly that takes you to universal studios and back so that was pretty neat.

They have a great shuttle service. Don't walk all the way to Universal Studios, you will want to nap before you even get in. It is also a fair walk, but doable with ease to City Walk. The service at the hotel is great. They speak more than one language and are very friendly. I did not enjoy waiting for my room to be ready and I called and told them exactly when we would be there, but once in our room we were very happy. I had called ahead for extra pillows and towels and they were there. The beds are super comfortable. We had a nice view. The room was super clean. Everything we needed was there. We loved their bar and their eatery. The food was great and the bar very comfortable. You will love it.

    "Birthday Party" wasn't really in my mother's vocabulary while I was growing up. I can only…read moreremember having ONE party, which was in 2nd grade. If I recall, it went well and I received a lot of Barbie Dolls (even though I wasn't really into Barbies but I think the mothers of the other girls assumed I was). Walking into Happy Parties was a journey into my absent past and started to heal all the psychological effects that one is traumatized from by not having childhood birthday parties. Happy Parties wasn't even open when I attempted to walk in but Don, whom appears to be the owner or manager; was still in the shop because the other crew was working on a party that night so since he was there, he allowed me to be there as well, even after hours! The shop is a mixture of party favor supply and vintage toy store. The shelves are filled with standards like party board games, costumes, party favors such fake rings for the little girls and toy guns for the boys, little stuffed animals, rubber stamps, etc; which are sold individually or can be purchased in bulk for your child's party guests. The best part, no matter what your age, is the toys that we remember from our years as a tyke: Smurfs figurines, rubber Gumby dolls, and slinkies to name a few. It is almost like being at a flea market which is always a treat! Happy Parties doesn't just sell party supplies or favors, it also helps plan/run the party providing entertainment (clowns, costumed characters, and face painters), themes, and games. This will take the strain off of any stressed parent! Plus, Don announced that they are starting to run adult parties, as well. To add the icing to the cake (I love puns), Don was kind, polite, and very cheerful. Again, he allowed me to browse even after closing hours but he also exchanged (graciously) information with my boyfriend after learning that he is an artist and would be interested in providing caricature drawing services at future parties. Don genuinely seems happy with what he does for a living (and I learned that he didn't have birthday parties growing up, either!). Whether you are a stressed parent needing party-planning help or just a nutcase needing birthday party therapy like myself, Happy Parties seems to be the solution. Now let me go cry if I want to.

We were bummed to have to cancel our this year's event due to the virus spread but Don handled the cancellation in a great and professional manner.

The entire process felt stress-free and enjoyable. Everything turned out beautifully and we received so many compliments. I am truly honored to be The Simple Luxe's first farmers market themed client and I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a talented, reliable, and kind vendor who goes above and beyond. If you have been following them on social media like I was and have an upcoming event - reach out to them and get a quote! You will not be disappointed!

They state they have a 3-day response time for emails, but some of our emails took them 10 days to respond to. By the end, we had to beg them to respond to our emails because we were running out of time. On the day they ignored explicit instructions from us, did not execute tasks they told us they would, and even dismissed workers early. They were rude to us and our families on our wedding day. The vendors they recommended to us were unprofessional, were drinking at our wedding, and also did not follow basic instructions. After the wedding they did not immediately refund our deposit. Weeks later, they claimed that several items were broken and lost, all adding up to the exact amount of the deposit. Then they claimed that they would refund us because our caterer had agreed to pay for the items. They eventually did pay us only after repeated attempts to recover the deposit. Not only did we provide written instructions asking them to inventory items before leaving the site, this is also common practice for the day of coordinator. Our wedding turned out beautiful in spite of this company and we are so grateful to some of our other vendors, our friends and family.
