Dedication commitment and the desire to make her audience smile at whatever cost is what I noticed…read morewhen I watched Natasha perform at my nephew's birthday. From the start of her show until its end she did a good job of keeping the kids captivated with her sublime displays. From her balloon modeling tricks to her ever so creative face painting talent, it was intriguing to watch for both the kids and adult alike (I enjoyed myself, maybe others didn't, but they were all laughing). You could see in the way she performed and the smile she put up that she was, in fact, enjoying herself, I've been to other birthday parties, and the performers always had this weary smile that hinted that they were only doing this for the money. Natasha was one with the children, with every new trick there was a corresponding wave of laughter, it was evident that they were also one with her. Towards the end of the party when I thought the buzz was finally settling, Natasha still had a trick up her sleeve, her magic show, which was laced with trickery that got the children all worked up and begging for more. They didn't want the party to end, and for the first time it wasn't because of the cake, it was because of a magician. I was well and thoroughly pleased with what I had witnessed at the end of the show, and quite frankly I was entertained. If I ever decide to have kids and Natasha is willing to travel to Manhattan where I live, I'll be sure to hire her company (which by the way is called Have Fun Worx) as I'm yet to see an artist that displays the level of devotedness and dexterity she infuses into her performance.

Believe it or not, Dauphine always has a plan a, b, c, d and even e for any situation that may pop up during the party planning phase. Her main focus is excellence and a smooth flow of events and that is what she delivers. I had a conversation with her on what I envisioned for my 40th birthday celebration. She took my ideas, and helped me execute it exactly as I had hoped for and made it even better. She found me the ideal venue for my theme party. Stage Night Club in Boston was perfect and here my Masquerade theme was actualized. Dauphine, coordinated the food, drinks (she created the best cocktail ever) based on my theme color green, the acts which included a unique element of entertainment ie jugglers, flapper dancers, aerialists which we hardly expected. Many of my guests commented that it was the best adult birthday party they'd ever attended, and I know that I could not have pulled it off without her. She responded to emails in a timely manner, and was thorough at answering all the questions.She communicated and updated the vendors which made my life much easier. To add on, she has a calming presence that is totally invaluable when one is feeling overwhelmed and stressed out. She is one to go above and beyond, very dedicated, organized and efficient. Thank you Dauphine for making my day memorable. You absolutely rock! I highly recommend Dauphine and her work ethic, she is truly a pleasure to work with. I know you will not regret using her services.

Extremely unprofessional sales tactics and poor communication…read more Working with this management team, Mike Amado especially, was a frustrating experience from start to finish. We experienced high-pressure sales tactics early on--including an absolute refusal to shift a consultation meeting by even 24 hours so both my fiancé and I could attend. We were told that if we didn't lock in immediately, someone else would take the date at a higher rate. We were repeatedly pressured with claims that we'd "never find a band for this price" and told we had to sign within a day or two. The most concerning part was what came next: after all that intense pressure to commit immediately, communication completely stopped. They went radio silent for three full months without a single follow-up. Given the total lack of professional communication and the aggressive tactics, we assumed the band was unavailable and booked our entertainment elsewhere. Event planning is stressful enough without having to deal with high-pressure sales followed by months of ghosting. I would strongly advise prospective clients to look elsewhere.

In an industry that overcharges, up-sells and under-delivers Wendy is truly invaluable in the preparation and execution of a wedding.

On the day of the wedding not only did she go into her emergency bag for scarves and stain remover but she also coordinated all of the vendors, family and wedding parties. I can honestly say that she was an amazing addition to my wedding. I cannot recommend Wendy more highly and am so happy that she was able to be part of my wedding.

I had planned almost every detail of the wedding and knew exactly how I envisioned my big day but the problem was I could not oversee the coordination of all the vendors/individuals in the execution of my plans.

My fiance and I were beyond thankful for her because she really enabled us to enjoy every moment of our big day!! When tiny things went wrong (and of course something will go wrong!) - Wendy always had a creative solution and did her absolute best to take care of it as quickly and quietly as possible. I was especially thankful for Wendy because I my niece (the flowergirl) had an issue come up and was unable to make it to the wedding ceremony with her dad so we were unable to get a complete family photo right after the ceremony. Very near the end of the reception, my niece and her dad finally came and Wendy orchestrated getting EVERYONE together for several complete family photos! We were SOOOOOooo thankful!! Anyway, I highly recommend Wendy and know you will not regret it =)
