I was just married this past Friday in Venice and Billy of Left Coast Karaoke was a big part of the…read morereception's success. The karaoke company that the country club recommended was faaarrr more expensive, so I took a chance on Left Coast. It was worth it: his equipment is top-notch; he had 30K songs on his laptop so everyone got their request; he was very attentive--hustling the mic up to me when I made a speech; and he organized a perfect mix of karaoke and the ubiquitous wedding dance songs. I am so thankful I made the decision and my wife, who manages the money, might be even happier. I paid him more than he asked for, because he deserved it. Thanks, Billy!

He was very…read moreprofessional, knew when to engage the crowd, played everyone's favorite songs, and was flexible with his schedule as we extended his performance for an extra 3 hours.

I used to love, love, love seeing Andres perform outside at Mattison's City Grille in Downtown…read moreSarasota, thanks to an acquaintence suggesting Sunday brunch there. He has such a GREAT voice (one that sounds clear and awesome live and makes you stop what you're doing to listen) and puts on an impressive one man show. Andres possesses quite an affable demeanor. His sets were made extra enjoyable with his good sense of humor and how nicely he interacts with his audience. During the times I saw him, he would always have a song list with him or take off-list requests (worth the tippage). I would often ask to hear some Jason Mraz or Jack Johnson because their songs seemed to fit the sun, the drinks (mimosas, of course), the food and the mood. His talent is diverse though and he can certainly mix it up if need be (bossa nova, classical guitar, salsa, rock and roll, jazz, etc). While Andres puts on a great one man show, his wife accompanied him on occasion for a nice change up (they have their own little duo called Son Dos http://www.myspace.com/sondosband ). Maybe because they were still sorta newlyweds at the time, they came off as such a cute and likable couple. They definitely jibe very well together on stage. Another cool thing about Andres is that he can sing in FIVE languages: English, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian and French. He is originally from Mexico and some of his songs are sung with a little bit of an accent, but it doesn't detract from his performance level. Not for me, at least. Before I left FL I'd wanted to go do a brunch date thing at Mattison's and have my Michigan BF check Andres out for the first time and we were told he wasn't performing there anymore. HUGE disappointment. I just checked his website calendar and happily saw he was still performing locally in Sarasota at Ceviche and The Hub http://www.guitarflorida.com/apps/calendar/ I really can't wait to get back down to Florida to hear Andres live again. Go check him out if you're ever in Sarasota or to see that he can indeed provide some great live and engaging music for any cool, classy adult event you may be planning. Per his card (which I recently came across while organizing some FL stuff and which led me to write this review), he is for hire for things like parties, weddings, serenades and guitar lessons. If you elect to listen on a play or pay basis, in either case, I think you will be quite pleased that you did.

We then decided we wanted her to come to Pittsburgh with us for our wedding since we loved our engagement pictures SO much! Her work is so unique and not like all the other photographers! The whole experience with her has been amazing. She feels like she's one of my friends now and my entire family loves her too! We love you Heather! You're amazing! Thanks for coming all the way to Pittsburgh for us and dealing with us crazies!

The four stars is for efforts, that a small town of 57,000 residents, supports an orchestra, opera and ballet. The venue is decent. General seating. The staff said it has 400 seats. They can't scan our digital tickets - perhaps due to the fact this event is presented by the Polish-American Association. Two episodes stood out: an elderly lady climbed up to the stage to take self and autograph; the two chairwomen presented the pianist, flowers, lumpy red bag and inside the bag is a white t shirt, that she tried to size it up on him. Pretty funny. Parking is easy. The touchiness faucet in the bathroom dispenses pretty hot water. Next month will go to Hilary Hahn's concert in Van Wezel, which is on the water.

I don't even know where to begin because Jennifer and her team are truly beyond words. We decided…read morewe wanted to do a destination wedding and had no idea where to start. I found JMEP on Instagram and reached out to see how it works. From that day forward Jennifer was there for me 24/7! She knows EVERYTHING there is to know about planning a perfect wedding. The most important and impressive part to me is her constant communication and responsiveness. She literally made it impossible for me to feel stressed! I would text or call her and immediately she was on it. When it comes to her design skills, they're unmatched! I would give as much creative freedom to her because she puts together a stunning wedding! She puts in endless hours of communicating, planning, meeting us last minute when we were in town and listening to our every concern. I couldn't have asked for anyone more perfect to help us during this special year. (Also it was 2020 so the whole covid thing .. won't even get into it but she helped us navigate it all!) To top it off, the day of she's there and she is WORKING IT!!! Kept me confident, on schedule, and had every detail of the event running perfectly. There truly is nobody better than JMEP! Shoutout to Bridgette too, we love you guys!

we attended a wedding at the beautiful Jubilee Estates but…read more venues event planner - Jennifer was very unprofessional, intrusive and thinks she is the hostess drinking and dancing on the job - wearing flashy clothing to attract attention, and rude to guests she made a conscious effort to be visible to wedding owners blocking the view of guests and monitoring continuously by being in the middle of a everything like gestapo at rehearsal and wedding day She was inviting guests to dance floor I have never seen a wedding planner like her oblivious to problems happening - sound system problems , one table that wasn't cleared up until waiters realized for about 30 minutes as she was too busy having fun herself - Best wedding planners are invisible and monitor and manage behind the scenes they make a conscious effort not to standout but yet here she was on bright red clothes on rehearsal day and flashy outfit with a hat dancing around during wedding - the wedding was shutdown at 10 pm due to noise ordinance ( law enforcement came) - planner should have known and dısclosed this as website stated 11 .she was not meticulous which is what wedding planning is about ! Despite being asked questions on timeline during rehearsal dinner wedding planner was not able to answer what time guest should arrive and was dismissive to all questions stating her assistant was there not herself When asked about potential tree nut allergy she responded ( so they probably should not eat it - rather than coming up with alternate plan) planner was blatantly rude to younger members of the family as well sometimes trying to physically snatch an object from their hands. I would not recommend her to anyone maybe his team members are better at doing wedding planning .
