The planning process was very organized and Sound Extreme's online planning tool was so helpful in choosing all of the special songs (first dance, processional, etc). We had two skype/facetime meetings with Ryan before the wedding to go over details (event order, special songs, what to expect, etc) and we had no doubts that everything would go smoothly. I didn't worry about it at all on the day of the wedding, and knew I could trust Ryan and his team (including Sarah, the mirror photobooth attendant) to be there, on time, and do their job. Ryan was very attentive both after the ceremony (he even brought us water afterwards) and during the reception. He totally kept the party going and several people complimented us on having such a fun wedding. Ryan surprised us with fun lights and glowsticks during the dancing portion of the reception, and we had the most amazing time. Ryan is a professional, and we put the music in his very capable hands. We included songs on our must play, play if possible, and do not play lists, and asked that he use his professional judgment in selecting what to play. We're so happy we did this, and if we ever need a DJ in the future we know who we're going to call!!! I would highly recommend that you hire Ryan for your wedding or special event!

Wow, Ryan. Please, take some responsibility, and stop accusing me of being vindictive. You…read moreaddressed the photo booth operator's attitude in a defensive manner, but incessantly fail to accept that THIS particular photo booth did not function properly. I never said anything about ALL your booths. The screen was black. Look into it, and stop blaming me for concocting lies. Getting one more turn in the photo booth after two sessions is not that serious. Also, I blurred the images to protect the identities of those in the photos. The album is "private". It's not cool to post pictures of people without their knowledge. It's funny you think I was trying to pass it off as a photo from your booth though. The purpose was to illustrate the heads cut off. I could get more, but my point has been proven. This is on principle. You accused me of lying in the first response. So I responded with "new fervor". I was simply a guest at this event expressing my dissatisfaction and voicing that of the other guests. Continue to negate responsibility though. At this point, I'd most definitely not recommend any other of your services knowing this is how you handle customer disappointments. Not cool Ryan, to publicize photos of customers who opted for a "PRIVATE" album. It definitely proves your original claim was untruthful though. Mission complete!

Maya is simply the best. Her coordinating skills are fine tuned and I felt incredibly comfortable with her from the minute we met her 10 months before the wedding. She helped create the perfect wedding for us. She has incredible attention to detail and she handled so many things that I'm sure I am not even aware of everything she did behind the scenes. It was flawless. Kris and her staff at Lunch Lady Catering did an amazing job on the menu (see my review on Lunch Lady Catering). The food was perfect!!! Shonna put together a beautiful display of flowers for us. The floral theme was beautifully elegant for our small wedding. I didn't want to let go of my bouquet!!! I would definitely recommend Belles and Whistles for any event (especially a wedding!!!). They took the stress completely out of planning my wedding and allowed me to enjoy every minute of it, from start to finish!

We've used Chef Jess in the past and she is the real deal! She's done weekly meal planning for our…read morefamily for over a year as well as helped us with company events. Her food is fantastic and she always works very hard to make sure her clients are happy and satisfied. My wife and I wanted to do a Keto diet and she was able to make food that kept us on the diet and we were thrilled with the quality of our meals. She can make dressings or desserts or whatever you want and can follow whatever dietary restrictions you need. Honestly, I've never seen any personal chef be able to accommodate so many needs so easily. SHE IS WORTH HER FEE!! Trust me, she's probably charging too little for the service she provides.

We worked with Erin Betts Events for our August vineyard wedding in Murphys, CA and could not have…read morebeen happier with our experience. Erin provided full-service planning for our wedding and was incredibly professional, responsive and detail-oriented. We were living in New York City and planning to hold the wedding at my family's vineyard in Murphys, so we needed someone on the ground who really knew the area and vendors and could communicate concepts and logistics efficiently over phone and email, as well as make the most out of limited in-person visits. We were so impressed with Erin's ability to perfectly understand our vision, the look and feel we were going for based on just a few phone conversations, two in-person visits and some back-and-forth feedback on Pinterest images. All of that to say, even a just moderate amount of guidance goes very far with Erin. In terms of personality, Erin struck a good balance between being personable/fun/making us feel comfortable and being very focused and getting down to business. She enabled us to enjoy the planning process while also keeping us on track. Erin is also a straight-shooter and will give you a sense of what is do-able and what might need adjusting. In those cases, however, she never seems to say "no", but rather a "what about this approach"...and they are usually really great ideas. On the day of the wedding, Erin and her team were amazing. So patient with guests and moving the schedule along perfectly. Erin runs a tight ship without anyone really noticing--every scheduled piece was totally on-time! During the reception dinner we inevitably would have guests coming up to us, one after the other, to congratulate us and chat, which is expected. As a result, we really weren't eating and needed to move onto the cake cutting or something. Erin, very smoothly, would kindly interrupt and get us back to finish our dinner so that we could move on. I really appreciated that because we as the couple don't really want to cut these conversations short. I would absolutely recommend Erin and her team for events in the area. You won't be disappointed!

I asked if she was a photographer and she gave me her rack card. SOLD, the next day I booked her! Not only is she tremendously talented, she is the sweetest soul you will ever meet. From start to finish, we were so pleased with her services. During the wedding Neriah and her assistant walked around with a big smile on their faces. When I received my pictures, I was just floored. I knew that they were going to be good because I already saw her pictures on her website, but our wedding pics just blew everything out of the water. She captured every detail so beautifully. She also did something a little different, she had drone capture our entire wedding attendees and the aerial view of the property. I can't want to see the footage! I'm so grateful I hired Neriah! She is a genuinely kind, wonderful, TALENTED person. If I could hire her to take pictures for every single major (or even minor) life event, I would. Words truly cannot express how much my husband and I loved having Neriah as our wedding photographer. If you can snag her for your wedding, DO SO ASAP!! Hopefully she'll be willing to shoot a baby bump session soon (fingers crossed)
