Working with M4U has always been like working with family so when it came to planning our wedding,…read morethere was no question about which entertainment team we would choose. For years, we knew we wanted DJ Vandan and MC Neil to be at our wedding. Neil MC'd my sweet 16 and since that day, I knew there was no better choice for my wedding. Throughout the entire planning process and the day of, they gave us exactly what we wanted. There was no back and forth or push back from the team about our ideas at all. We had so much trust that we pretty much handed them the keys to do whatever they wanted in terms of entertainment/lighting and we were NOT disappointed. Our guests continue to rave about the MC and DJ combo, especially about DJ Vandan's song choices, playing a mix of Bollywood, hip hop, as well as classics to make sure all of our friends and family were on the dance floor and having a good time. Neil kept the crowd LIT the ENTIRE NIGHT until the absolute last song. Even though there were issues with our venue, the team figured things out without us even knowing that there were any issues. M4U had made the ballroom look incredible, whether it was the amazing vinyl wrap, the lighting throughout our reception, or the large video wall around the DJ booth, they knocked it out of the park. DJ Ronak and MC Aakash also did an awesome job with our Garba/Sangeet, there were a few last minute surprises that were thrown at them and they handled everything calmly and professionally. The lighting at the Garba/Sangeet during the surprise performances made the whole experience so much more climactic and exciting. If you are looking for the best entertainment company in the game, look no further - M4U never disappoints.

VIBES!!! We have NEVER experienced a more lit wedding. DJ Vik and MC Neil exceeded every. single…read more expectation that we had. Our family and friends cannot stop talking about how incredible this team is. We met with Neil months before the wedding, and he completely understood who we were as people, our music interests and the vibes we wanted to bring to our wedding--that meant the most to us. The dance floor was popping before the Sangeet even started. They had us crowd surfing, had our friends and family raging, and had us going all night long. You have to trust me here, if you want a team that pays attention to you, your story, who you are and what you love and then can bring that to an energy level that is unmatched- this is your dream team.

We were able to get family and close friends from our house, to the church and to the venue. They have the best rates I could find and incredible service. John is the owner and is very easy to work with, our driver was named Joe and was incredible. He helped get bags out to the car, helped fluff my train and get me ready to walk down the aisle with my dad while making sure my husband didn't see me on the way. I am so glad I ended up booking Action Limousine because I nearly didn't and it was a great decision.

Above and Beyond…read more Our daughter's wedding was Saturday 10/1/2022, our driver Billy kept a close eye on the questionable weather coming from Hurricane Ian, he was totally correct about the weathers timing. He walked all of us one by one to bus and church with biggest umbrella ever. Needless to say it didn't rain on us but he was totally prepared. Carmine also took awesome care of the groom and the groomsmen, she was terrific and so professional. While we were in church Billy went to tuxedo shop swapped out the tuxedo pants for my husband, father of the bride(broken zipper) no one ever knew. Seamlessly got 2 pairs, made the situation stress free. Thank you so much for thinking outside the box and helped to avoid an annoying situation. Job well to our drivers!! Thank you!

Beautiful Venue, Disappointing Experience While the James…read moreWard Mansion is undeniably a unique and beautiful venue, our overall experience was unfortunately disappointing. Leading up to our wedding, the owners were uncooperative and made the planning process more stressful than it needed to be. Since the venue claims that my concerns are unfounded and an anomaly of their 5-star reviews, here are the specific examples of our less-than-favorable experience: The week before our wedding, during our pre-event walkthrough, we discovered that the owners had made several cosmetic changes to the venue that were not communicated to us in advance. While we were notified of larger renovation changes, some major cosmetic changes were neglected--such as white-washing the exposed brick in the atrium area. This change, while likely done to expand the appeal of the venue, should have been communicated to a bride ahead of time and not discovered a week before the wedding. This lack of transparency was unsettling and frustrating. Adding to this frustration, the day before our wedding, the venue allowed us an hour to set up our chuppa for the ceremony. While my husband and his brothers were there, the owners stood with their arms crossed, watching them put together the chuppa, claiming my husband was damaging the floor (which was not true), asking for ID and proof of insurance, and generally exhibiting intimidating tactics. This added unnecessary tension during an already stressful time. The owners admittedly thought my husband was a vendor, but this does NOT justify nor dismiss their behavior and attempts to intimidate him. This behavior was unprofessional and left a negative impression on us and our families. During setup on the day of our wedding, our florist was placing flowers on the fountain in the atrium. My planner was called by the venue's coordinator and questioned about the flowers. However, at our pre-event walkthrough the week before, the venue had a representative present who knew that we planned to have flowers on the fountain and never mentioned that it wasn't a possibility. Lastly, the morning of the wedding, I paid extra to arrive early to use the bridal suite to get ready. The owners reside in the building next door and there is a hidden door between the two buildings. This access point leads to a catwalk directly outside the bridal suite. As we arrived and were getting ready with hair, makeup, and dressing, the owner came from his next-door residence right onto that catwalk outside the bridal suite. The owners were well aware that we rented the space that morning and should not have accessed the venue while my bridal party and I were in the bridal suite. After how they treated my husband the day before, it is easy to interpret this surprise visit as more intimidation by the owners. Most disappointing was the venue's response after the wedding. I asked my planner to arrange a time for me to directly discuss some of these issues. My planner was told that they refuse to address my concerns and feedback, claiming instead that my issues lie at the feet of her, my planner, and our caterer, and that their plethora of 5-star reviews speak for themselves. I, too, reached out directly to discuss these issues with the venue's coordinator and was met with the same resistance; my text message was ignored. This unprofessionalism and disregard for our concerns were extremely disappointing and added to our overall negative experience. Here is my response to their claims: My specific concerns are with the management of the venue and their treatment of us and our vendors. No venue should rest on their laurels of 5-star reviews and ignore a less-than-favorable experience by a customer.

I'm going to start this review saying I feel a little bad writing it because Michelle was nice…read more That's literally the only good thing I can say. If there were negative stars, I'd give her -16. I had hired Michelle for the day of coordinating for my wedding in which I had planned, scheduled everything for, made all the decorations.. the works. I had a list of things for her to do along with times and everything. I'm very particular. Days leading up to the wedding, she confirmed times and what not with my vendors that I had already confirmed with. But when they contacted me after she contacted them, things were a little crazy, vendors being confused on a few things that I had already discussed with them and we're good to go. Strike one. But I let it go. I figured it was just a hiccup in the wedding world. Fast forward to the rehearsal day/dinner. I paid an extra $200 for her to be there so when day of came, she wouldn't be lost. She sat me down to confirm everything, most things were already confirmed so I was a little annoyed that she took time away from my day to do this. Anyways, one question that popped up THE WHOLE TWO DAYS SHE WAS AROUND was- "when can I go home" what. The. Fuck. My day. Not yours. I'm paying/paid her so she needs to zip it n get to work. So after two or three mentions of her leaving, after being there for maybe an hour, I sent her home. My best lady and bridesmaids were confused when I did this, because then I had to run the rehearsal by myself. Thanks Michelle. I sent her home because she cared more about pumping for her baby and when she could go home over my needs in to which I had hired and again, paid for. Wedding day- she comes. I have papers n notes that she has for specific times. My mom is there to tell her where any and all decorations go. Once she is told to do something, it's realized she isn't doing any of it. My best lady yelled at her multiple times and told her that she should not be doing her job for her. And she's right. I didn't it my best lady, but I should have! I had hundreds of dollars worth of decor that didn't get set up, not to mention the hours of work and equipment I bought to out into it. Again she asks what goes where. Mind you, she asked me THE BRIDE my HUSBAND and multiple other people when she could leave. AT THE WEDDING! Are ya kidding me?? The last time I saw her was right when we were in line about to walk to the dance floor to be announced. Once again... this fucking girl asks us when she can f*****g leave again! This is about 5:10pm. I told her "when the donut wall gets set up between 7-730, you can go" THIS BISH GOES AND SETS UO THE WALL AND BOUNCES! ya f*****g kidding me?! She set out my f****g dessert table before dinner. So. F******g pissed. I'm writing this because I want to save anyone who cares about their wedding day to look elsewhere. I guess I should have known better when I went to her office and it was a limousine garage office inside a garage and there was a mess of clutter while sharing an office with her family at a table 1.5 feet away from us. Everything was perfect and wonderful except her and her services. So many people came up to me to tell me how terrible she was. Save yourself. If you care about your wedding, she's not the girl. Sorry Michelle. Wish you were better.

Let me preface this review by saying if you are thinking about getting a wedding planner in the…read moreNJ/NY area, definitely reach out to Lindsay! She is absolutely amazing and will help craft an event that is better than you could have imagined. She has been such a pleasure to work with, and would highly recommend her. Let me back up and give you some context. My husband and I knew we wanted to get married in NJ on my uncle's farm. The only problems with that were that we lived across the country in Portland and we didn't have a building to have the ceremony in. My husband and I also both worked full time jobs. We began to realize that we'd have some time constraints on our hands and hiring a wedding planner might not be a bad idea. After reading some reviews online, I reached out to a few planners and set up a couple of introductory calls to hear about their services and experiences. When I started talking to different wedding planner, every one of them started off by telling me about all of their packages and what was included in their service. Lindsay was different. Unlike the other planners who immediately went into their sales pitch, Lindsay wanted to hear our story and what we wanted in our wedding. It seemed like she genuinely wanted to help us create our special day, not just give us a cookie cutter list of services. This was such a refreshing and personal way of approaching wedding planning. I knew from that minute that I wanted her to plan my wedding. Lindsay of Simply Sunshine Events is an amazing events planner, coordinator, and event designer. She covers a wide array of events, from wedding and baby showers to corporate events and fundraisers. And every single review that I read about the company was simply glowing. Not only is she professional, candid, creative, and helpful, but she just seemed like someone who I would work well with. Ironically we both grew up super close to one another, so we instantly clicked on that part of our past. Even without that connection, I knew that we would get along well. We decided to get help on both the design portion as well as the planning portion of our wedding. I'm really not the most creative person in the world and I felt like we needed help putting together the overall vision. We were presented with a personalize design brief with a couple of different options. Once we decided on a vision, Lindsay was able to pick out vendor options that she thought would work well with the venue and overall theme. It was so much less overwhelming being able to choose out of a couple of highly recommended vendors than to have to choose from everyone in the area. Which leads me to another important thing that Lindsay brought to the table: experience. Not only has she worked with all of these people before, but she has seen all the ins and outs of doing a wedding at a "home" venue. Initially, we thought it would be more cost efficient and easier to have an at home wedding. However, it turns out that this makes the whole planning process much more difficult since we had to not only style a wedding but actually create a venue. Lindsay instantly knew all the things we needed to look into - a tent, flooring, a generator, bathrooms, the list goes on and on. She provided us super detail specific timelines of when we should do each task, as well as supplemental tools to assist us along the way. With Lindsay's help, my husband and I made a lot of the big decisions pretty early on in the planning process. I completely trusted Lindsay's opinion on vendors and that really worked out well for us. We had amazing food and cake tastings, had a florist meeting on site that was spot on, and have a Chaplain who gave me chills when going through ceremony options. The best part about the whole deal is that Lindsay can sometimes get her clients special discounts with vendors that she works with regularly, and passes those deals directly to her clients. Some planners will take those discounts as profits, but Lindsay has an awesome system where she charged us one flat fee for everything listed in her contract and helped us save money elsewhere. She was a huge help in constructing our budget and sticking to it. Overall, I'm so glad we worked with Simply Sunshine for both the planning and design part of our wedding. The wedding went off beautifully and I was so glad I could just relax and be fully present on the wedding day. Even though there was threat of rain all the way up to the actual day, we were able to execute a plan B (extra tents for the ceremony and cocktail hour) that most people had no idea was actually not what we originally intended. I was so thankful to have such an amazing team of vendors backing me up through the preparation and actual day, even when we threw curve balls at them. Simply Sunshine Events has made this whole planning process less stressful than I was initially expecting, and made our wedding day more amazing than I ever could have hoped for.
