I got the chocolate chai, very nice aromatics and spices coming through with some notes of chocolate at the end. The scone was honestly my favorite thing along with the jam and the cake pop! This is only my second high tea experience but I loved the decor, the ambience and the food. I would definitely recommend to a friend looking for this kind of experience.

We started planning in late 2019 for an October 2020 wedding, but we all know how that story ended. Our wedding date was changed to October 2021, but Jenny maintained contact with us and continued planning throughout the pandemic. She worked tirelessly to make sure every single detail was perfect and exactly as we wanted it to be. She also offered her own personal, creative touches, many of which we used in our wedding design. Jenny was there for us at every venue tour and every vendor meeting to support and guide us through the complex and sometimes overwhelming process of planning a modern wedding. She even sent a beautiful gift to our house on our originally planned wedding date to cheer us up! Her hard work and support didn't end on the day of our wedding, as she and her team made sure our wedding was as special and as memorable as possible.

I had such a wonderful experience working with The Simple Luxe for my son's first birthday party…read morethat was farmers market themed! From start to finish they were incredibly easy to communicate with- responsive, attentive, and truly listened to what I wanted. Lisa and her team brought my vision to life, and it was even better than I imagined. What really stood out was their willingness to work within our budget without compromising on quality or creativity. They not only designed and set up all the balloons, backdrops, installations but they also spent extra time helping me decorate and design the farmers market with the custom gifts I made and/or purchased for my guests. 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!

Jasmine was also a pleasure to work with. She was very communicative, easy to talk to, and made the entire process stress-free from start to finish. She really listened to our ideas, gave us time to make decisions, and helped us stay within our budget. Huge thanks to the setup and cleanup team as well. They were punctual and respectful of the time we had the venue booked. My wife and I would definitely recommend The Simple Luxe to anyone (if it's within your budget). Their hard work and dedication to their clients truly shows in their work.

When you hire a company for an event as important as a wedding, you expect the absolute best from your vendors. To clarify, the only reason I gave 2 stars instead of 1 is because yes the set up was beautiful and we had no problem with the guys that came to physically put up the rental tents. They were great, they worked really hard, this is not about them. This is specifically towards Darlene, the company coordinator/manager/owner. Darlene was quick to respond when it came to taking your money. But after the payment was made, she went MIA. She wouldn't answer several calls and texts for days. "Sorry we are really busy", no that's no excuse to not be available to a paid client especially when there are issues/questions. The day before the event, instead of showing face and apologizing for the bad communication she sends her young attitude-filled teenage daughter instead to coordinate the guys setting up. We paid for the tents with fabric, wedding chairs, table runners etc and guess what? The wedding chair cushions were DIRTY. I bring this to the attention of Darlene's daughter and she very dismissively says, "I'll bring some more tomorrow". Fine, as long as they are replaced. Darlene's daughter leaves before the set up is complete, and we realize that they did not bring the table runners. We call and text Miss teenage attitude, no answer. The set up guys claim "maybe this fabric left behind is supposed to be the table runner", but after inspecting it we realize the dirty and torn fabric is actually for the tents not the tables. Again, tried to contact Darlene to advise her that our items are missing. No answer. She finally calls the day of the wedding and claims the fabric is the table runner. No it isn't! The fabric was clearly for the tents not the tables. And she says they will not be coming back to replace the dirty seat cushions. SO UNPROFESSIONAL! She did reimburse for the missing/dirty items but that doesn't change the fact that the items were delivered like that, terrible service and that the communication was almost zero. You can imagine how this made the bride feel on her big day. I do NOT recommend this company, they will give you a headache, stress, anxiety over bad communication and deliver dirty items.. or just not deliver some items altogether! Do yourself a favor, go somewhere else.

DO NOT HIRE THIS PLACE FOR SPECIAL EVENTS!!…read more When I saw pictures and reviews for this company, I was so excited to hire them for my backyard wedding. They don't have a show room, so I was basing my decisions off of their Instagram/Yelp pictures they posted. After I signed a contract, I quickly realized what a mistake I made. Darlene (the business owner) was terrible at communicating with me. She would often ignore my texts and take days to respond. Darlene would constantly blame her lack of communication on being "so busy" or "she didn't see my message". The week of my wedding, we had agreed on a day and time of when her team would set up for the tent drapes. Then, a day before the set up, she says that instead of setting up at 9am, she will now be coming at latest 5pm inconveniencing my family and vendors. They finally arrive to set up and her daughter (aka her "assistant") came with the biggest attitude. I was busy rehearsing with my family and vendors, that I didn't notice she left with no notice. She didn't even bother to check in with me and seeing if I needed anything else. I was so upset to find dirty seat cushions, stained and ripped drapes, and an incomplete inventory. Instead of bringing ivory table runners, I found filthy and ripped mixed matched tent drapes that she called "table runners". Her daughter Isabel told me they would come the morning of the wedding to replace any damaged material, so I trusted her word for it. That was a mistake! THE MORNING OF MY WEDDING, Darlene calls me saying "sorry I missed your call, I wasn't near my phone". Really? I called maybe 6 times. They didn't show up after-all the morning of my wedding to replace the disgusting chair cushions and runners. Instead she gave me $80 to "refund me". Thank you Darlene for being the most stressful part of my wedding planning. If you are a bride, trying to make your backyard wedding special, or if you are hosting a special event, please do not hire this company. You will regret it! I sure did.

Thanks so much for making my son's birthday a truly fun and memorable day!

Ohmygawd, where to begin…read more.. Your kid's birthday is a huge deal, especially when they're little. The stress of getting EVERYTHING right - and EVERYONE to show up! - can be overwhelming. After all, your child's entire future happiness is at stake, right?! Deep breath. Here's our step by step experience with "Happy" Days Entertainment: 1) This year for our little girl's 5th birthday we decided to do something different and rent a location for two hours. The place was awesome, an indoor playground with tons of cool stuff to do. Not so cool, we had to use their outside vendor to hire a princess character. 2) In the past we had two amazing experiences with another vendor (not sure I can name them here so I will post a positive review on them later - check my reviews to find out who they are). Needless to say, we were bummed (and NERVOUS) to use a new vendor. 3) Having said that, our little one wanted to invite Moana and while our preferred vendor didn't have a Moana performer available Happy Days did! Not only that, the picture of the Moana on their website looked awesome AND when my wife called Happy Days the owner (!) GUARANTEED that it would be the same performer as the one on the website! Not. Quite. 4) The lady who showed up - bless her heart - looked quite a bit older than the one in the picture and while the online Moana had natural black curly hair, the one who showed up was wearing a horrible wig that looked so fake even the kids called her on it. To make matters worse, she wasn't playful and engaging at all. Very reserved and low energy! In the movie Moana is adventurous and full of zest! For the money we paid I expect someone who doesn't just look like the character (which she didn't) but who's IN character as well. It's LA for crying out loud! Oh, and she didn't sing any of the Moana songs (we were told she would). And when I asked her at the end if she could do individual pictures with each kid (about 10 girlies) she blankly pointed out IN FRONT OF the birthday girl that she was already 5 minutes over time. She also said most kids usually don't want a picture (ooooh-kay). Still, I ALMOST felt bad for her, she literally seemed awkward and uncomfortable around the kids. Like someone had stuck her in a Hawaiian skirt and a cheap wig and said go show up at this place for an hour and make balloon animals. 5) But more than the performer, my wife and I felt terrible for our little girl. She LOVES Moana and was SUPER excited to see her. When I told her that her special guest had arrived she yelped and darted into the lobby... where she literally stopped short, stunned to meet this person who was clearly NOT the real Moana awkwardly and timidly greeting her to the sound of parent hearts breaking. 6) Final thoughts... We have called Happy Days several times but our calls have been ignored. It's been 3 weeks. So instead of trying to somehow rectify the situation, I'm writing this review. By the way, even the two young ladies who worked the place (and who were incredibly sweet and helpful) said they were shocked when they saw the performer walk in. And in case someone from Happy Days is reading this review... We weren't going to ask for our money back. We were going to suggest that you send the Moana performer you had promised us to show up for a complimentary hour and play with our girl in the park, saying she's so sorry she couldn't make the party but Maui had stolen her boat or Heihei was sick (Heihei is the rooster, look it up). I wish I had kinder things to say about the performer. I think she tried but just wasn't right for the part. I do blame Happy Days for A) breaking their promise to send the Moana they feature on their website (#falseadvertising), and B) for badly mis-casting the character, and C) not getting back to us after the event to discuss what had happened. Hope this review helps others in planning their event. You're welcome! (get it?) SHOCKING UPDATE: We just realized the Moana princess picture Happy Days Entertainment uses on their website is a STOCK PHOTO (!!!) you can find on many other sites including costume DIY and Moana cosplay sites. So the performer the owner had promised to send isn't even an employee at his company!
