So much to say about the AMAZING crew at HYLO Events!!
Here's the short and sweet version ...
- We hired HYLO for both their videography and DJ services.
- First vendor to arrive and the last to leave
- Ensured our bridal party was thoroughly happy throughout the wedding day
- Respectful to our guests and other vendors
- Incredibly accommodating ... the day of the wedding I decided to add mics for the ceremony and they happily did so
- Dressed professionally
- HYLO Events = BEST event company in the business
The long version ...
Planning a wedding sucks; there's a lot that goes into looking to finding the right vendor for videography, DJ, photography, food, florists, etc etc. Planning a wedding is even harder when you're living in NorCal and having your wedding in Orange County. With the stress of everything .. HYLO Events was the highlight of it all.
Upon our first meeting with Jason and Paul, the hubby and I were incredibly impressed. Due to work schedules, it was always difficult to predict when we would be able to go back to LA to have meeting with possible vendors. Jason and Paul were able to accommodate a last minute meeting with us. During that meeting, they were professional, yet incredibly easy to get along with. They were able to answers all the questions that we did have, as well as give us some pertinent points of thought that we had never considered for the cinematography aspect.
The wedding day ...
HYLO showed up hours before any of the other vendors arrived. Not only did Jason and Paul, the cinematographers, arrive early but Ryan and Carlo, the DJ and Emcee, arrived early too! All four immediately started setting up and recording all the awesomeness that was happening. I didn't need to give them a list of things to do or what I wanted in the video; they just did it. They worked both independently and collaboratively with our other vendors.
In regards to professionalism:
Being professional, starts with the way you dress, the way you present yourself and how you communicate with others. Honestly, it should go without saying that if you're a wedding vendor, DRESS PROFESSIONALLY, but apparently I needed to express this concern with my other vendors prior to the wedding day. HYLO was the only vendor who dressed professionally and they did it on a 100 degree summer day in June. They did it all in stride without a single complaint. Thank you HYLO.
The day of your wedding, you don't want to have to answer questions about details that should have been dealt with before the wedding. HYLO only came up to me to ask me pertinent questions and to make sure I was hydrated.
After the wedding, we received a lot of feedback from our friends and family. By far, the most consistent comment was along the lines of "your DJ and Emcee were amazing!" The music was on point. They played everything that I wanted and didn't play the things that I didn't. The hubby and I are definite fans of old school hip hop and R&B but do also enjoy some EDM. Ryan and Carlo were so awesome. They played the jams and every loved it. There were definite sing-a-long R&B jams accompanied by some Disney classics. They had people singing and dancing all night. It was incredible!
[As I know cost is also an issue for anyone planning a wedding: HYLO's prices are very competitive. For cinematography, they charge by the project. This is quite different from all the other videographers out there, who charge by the hour. So what that means is they'll stay over 8 hours and not charge you an arm and a leg. Through and through, they were worth every penny.]
In sum, I highly highly recommend HYLO events to everyone.
To the guys at HYLO, thank you for everything. I can't express enough how much we appreciated everything you guys did for us. Thank you thank you thank you!
