He was very responsive (working through weekends and late nights) to address my requirements and suggest solutions. He went above & beyond in his recommendation for executing a perfect outdoor event.

He is definitely one of the best that exists in this business. I wish A&V Party the very best on their journey. Thank you for everything Anand.

BUYER BEWARE. We were having a fine time working with Anand to create our wedding mandap decor…read moreuntil simple verbiage in his liability insurance needed to be changed. This was standard verbiage every other 3rd party vendor we worked with had no problem changing for our venue, but per his own "legal counsel" he could not change the verbiage. This was a contract with a large hotel venue and I'm assuming he's never worked with larger clients and as a result was not prepared to offer the correct liability insurance. He kept saying this is "not standard" when literally every other person we were working with said it was.. He then turned on us and accused me and my husband for not properly preparing him to work with our venue. How are we supposed to know what type of legal documents he is supposed to provide as a vendor? That is quite literally the job of the vendor to figure out, and again this tells me he's never worked with larger clients. In addition, he knew at signing which hotel we would be working with and it is his job as a vendor to ensure he is prepared to handle an event at the venue in the signed contract. He ended up wanting us to sign a form that essentially put all the blame on me and my husband if anything at all went wrong with the mandap structure as well as allow him to cancel at ANY time up until the wedding. Obviously, we could not sign this and found another mandap vendor who could change the verbiage and provide quality services. This back and forth about the insurance verbiage went on for months and Anand was a poor communicator with me, my husband, my wedding planner, and my venue's event coordinator. It was 3 weeks before the wedding when he decided to give us an ultimatum causing me significant stress as a bride to find a new vendor. We dropped him as a vendor due to his lack of service and reliability, not due to the changes in weather as he may claim. I cannot stress enough that this company is not prepared to work on larger venues or provide any type of liability insurances. You might be able to rent a few chairs or decor items from them, but save yourself the stress and hassle, and spend a little money to get a better vendor for your wedding. It should also be noted this is the first review in YEARS he has received which is suspicious. He also claims that we asked for a "custom mandap" when there is nothing truly custom on our mandap. As with every decorator there are different items and ways to set things up, but we did not specifically have him craft anything that he cannot reuse. He has already posted the mandap on his website and will be able to reuse every material that was "custom." Therefore, there was no loss of business, but he attempted to charge us thousands for this work. We adhered to the cancellation policy in the poorly written contract and cancelled our agreement as it is clearly stated and forfeited our deposit.

They are overpriced and force you to hire a bartender to serve drinks (beer and wine) you personally provide. They lie to their customers and tell them that "in the state of florida you need to have a licensed bartender to serve drinks." That is a LIE, in the state of Florida you do not need a license or permit to serve beer a wine... actually a bartender doesn't even need to have a license to serve liquor in Florida. They are lying to their customers. We were hosting a memorial.. not a wedding.. this wasn't a party and our experience with Celebrations made everything more stressful than it already was..... AND they serve soggy crostini.... They made us buy food too! Many of the people who helped with the memorial have worked for catering companies... The crostini was dated for the day before.. Our "bartender" said they were made in the morning... Another lie. What a joke of a company.

The food was delivered food to the Mulberry Recreation Center. It was a disaster! On the contract I had asked for the food to be delivered at 11:00 a.m., and it was not delivered until 11:30 a.m. I had a friend there waiting as they were not serving and wanted her to uncover the food. It was totally unacceptable and unprofessional that serving spoons or forks were not provided! We had just come from a funeral so how were we to have any? It was extremely embarrassing that the guests had to wait over a half hour as my friend and I were trying to open the little bags of cheap silverware that was delivered. Two guests volunteered to go home and bring back some spoons and forks. That was very stressful at a time when we were mourning our Father. We even had the Mulberry staff running around looking for big spoons for serving. The food was very cheap and below standard for a professional catering company. We were given wimpy loaves of white bread and American cheese. We could have gotten the same breads and meats at Walmart. Also, there was one huge tray that looked like someone had just dumped a bag of chopped lettuce into it. Half the tomatoes were hard and green. The potato salad was terrible. The dessert trays were horrible with everything piled on it. The carrot cake should have been separated - no one could get them apart. We had to throw out one tray as it was more than 40 could want. We had an order for 30 - 40 people and they gave us food for maybe 100. Whoever decided on quantity was way off base. We ended up throwing out half of the food. We only needed one tray of everything. What a waste. Why would 40 people need 2 huge trays of macaroni salad and 4 huge containers of salad dressing? We used maybe 1/3 of 2 dressing containers. The cost of the order was over $940! In my career I did party planning for over 35 years for groups of up to 500 and never saw such a disappointing display of food. Everything was cheap. We would have been better to go to Publix and order trays. The price for this pitiful food was exorbitant. If it had been better quality, it might have been worth it. I had thought that going with La Hacienda Catering it would have been a classier presentation. They advertise sensational food, but it was not. This was to be a celebration of my Father's life for Villagers and family, but it was an embarrassment. It was not worth $941.89, and I feel like we had been scammed. I wrote the owner of La Hacienda Catering and did not get a response. There was no apology that there had not been serving spoons or forks with the order or any communication at all.
