    We hired them to help plan and set up my fiancée's engagement proposal, and everything was absolutely beautiful. The setup exceeded my expectations and made the moment so special. Even with the crazy wind that day, they stayed and made sure everything looked perfect. From the very beginning they were very communicative and quick to respond, which made the entire process stress-free. Super professional and clearly care about their work. I'm extremely satisfied and would highly recommend them to anyone planning a special event!!

    Our beautiful sweetheart arch.
    MoNesha L.

    Trust means everything! I looked at several vendors before deciding on Lara Events. This was for a big occasion and I wanted to make sure that whoever I chose was going to do an amazing job. But I had never hired a vendor for a proposal arch. I had never used the location selected before. And this was for my baby boy's surprise marriage proposal. Everything was so dependent on everyone being on time. I decided to use Lara Events because from the moment I made an inquiry on Instagram, Ken, the owner, was responsive and informative. He actually called me on the phone vs just talking online. After our conversation and doing a little recon and looking at some previous reviews, I decided to take a leap of faith and hire them. I'm glad I did. Ken was in constant communication with me up until moments before his arrival to the location. The sweetheart arch was amazing! The photographer I hired through Ken was great! I can't wait to see the pictures. And Ken stayed to make sure everything was right with the setup. My son proposed, she said yes and it was the perfect moment. Thank you, Ken! Lara Events is now definitely in my list of preferred vendors!

    The Big Question.

    She said "YES"! When you're getting ready to ask the big question to your significant other, and you're looking for the setting to be perfect, planning is the key element. I found Lara Events on TikTok/Instagram and I sent her a message. She was very prompt at responding and replied to me the same day! (despite her being on vacation lol ) This automatically let me know that she means business and is ready to work and make this important day happen. We were in constant communication the first week planning what I had envisioned, and then again in the week leading to the big day. Even as I had questions in between she would still provide me with answers. The day of the proposal, my now fiancé, was in shock & awe at how beautiful everything turned out. I do want to mention, that I did give her full discretion when choosing a location in the park and let me tell you, she did NOT disappoint. Overall. Super satisfied with her work! She had a service agreement, package add ons (My add ons were the photographer +Mariachi) , and a high level of professionalism! I have already recommended her to my friends, and when asked about the setup, I will proudly say that she made this day happen, and special. Thank you once again Lara Events!

    I recommend Lara Events to anyone who is looking to have the proposal of their dreams! They were very helpful and friendly throughout the whole process! Me and my fiancé could not be any more happy with the way everything turned out!

    I am so fortunate to be one of the lucky girls to ever received a beautiful proposal. Lara events hooked up my FIANCEE !! Better than I could've imagined !

    Couldn't have asked for a better set up

    See all

    This is a family favorite. The people who run and own this place are just lovely people and so…read moreeasy to work with. We have hosted multiple birthdays for our kids here and cannot recommend them enough. The prices are a bit cheaper on weekdays for the same experience and since the party is only a couple of hours, we are usually able to get great attendance for a simple weekday party at an affordable price. You're allowed to bring in your own snacks and they sell pizza/beverage packages. I love that flexibility to bring healthy snacks but also give kids what they really want: pizza. They call you a few days beforehand to confirm details and answer questions. Then when you arrive they handle all the setup of the decorations and banners and gift bags and cake (they ask for nothing frozen) while you go ENJOY YOUR PARTY. To me, this is the huge advantage of hosting your party at a venue and at this venue in particular. The ability to enjoy the party without stressing the details is priceless, and they do such a wonderful job with the presentation. They even asked me to come approve the setup before everyone came in. Then while you're enjoying your time with the kids, they have a photographer snapping quality pictures of all the kids at the party. They climb in the bounce houses and through the play stations snapping amazing candid and posed pictures and play them for you when you're enjoying the pizza and snacks. The flash drive of images, including group photos in front of the ginormous inflatable slide, isn't even crazy expensive. It was like $25, or something like that. The photographer's time and effort was 100% worth the price and gave a lovely memento of the day that I could share with other parents. In short, this place is amazing and affordable and so much fun. Do not hesitate to book a party here!

The jumpers seem well taken care of, it seems like a bit of an old location or its been around a long time as it's a bit dated. There is only one bathroom which is odd but whatever. My son is 12 and it's geared towards younger kids although he did enjoy himself. We did go for his friend that uses a wheelchair but is able to get around without it they were very accommodating and it seemed she has no issue. It was nice to see the employee who was in charge of pictures for the birthday girl taking pictures of everyone trying to make sure he didn't leave anyone out, i thought that was neat!

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!

    I started this review in 2015, a year after my wedding, in order to properly allow any negative…read moreemotional feelings from the wedding subside and also to properly assess this company's services. It's now 2017, almost 3 years after my wedding and I'm finally publishing this review. My wife and I hired K&S for our wedding and selected the platinum package, basically so someone could hold our hands throughout the entire process + D.O.C. We had a short timeline, engaged in March with a targeted wedding date in December the same year. In regards to planning, Kym was spot on. Scheduling visits with the flower vendor, negotiating terms with the caterer, and also coordination tasks at the Nixon Library. She's good about telling you what options can be expensive, price ranges for vendors, and creative ideas within a certain budget framework. One minor annoyance was that every meeting she would spend a couple hours with us discussing, writing notes and follow-ups, but then go MIA. The next meeting would require a refresher (like she forgot key details), or we'd be proactive and send out an email or text asking about the status. This problem became so widespread (i.e. she will tell you she'll follow up in 3 days but then go a week with no response), that I had to send an email to her and her partner that they were upsetting the bride. My wife and I prepared everything in advance of the wedding so that Kym's team could setup the day-of. We packaged and organized everything in bags with labels and directions. Signs were installed in photo frames, name cards were bagged alphabetically, and layout was discussed all in advance. We arrive into the reception area the day-of only to find nothing was setup the way my wife asked. She was just so frustrated. The money/card box wasn't put where we asked, which involved a lot of guests coming to ask us what to do. It's almost as if the assistants and other team members didn't know what to do or didn't bother checking with Kym for instructions. This was apparent because the following happened -see below. And finally, the biggest debacle of the night. We had an agreement with the vendor that the consumption bar was to turn into an open bar once the limited was reached. Kym actually helped us with this during the negotiations. One of Kym's assistants for one reason or another got confused and told the caterer to turn the consumption bar into a cash bar. Kym apparently had no idea (not sure how the assistant came to make the decision). No one thought to come notify or ask us. Embarrassingly, our guests had to shell out cash for drinks sometime between 8:30 pm to 9:30 pm. We didn't find out until we visited the bar personally around 9:30 pm, ordered drinks and was asked to pay -imagine our surprise. The caterer apologized, Kym said "this is my fault", accepting responsibility, but the damage was done. My view here is that the wedding coordinator is at fault in this situation as she holds the responsibility to speak on behalf of the bride/groom (or at least check-in with them before making such a decision). And since when does an assistant make a decision like this without checking in with her boss?! Also, Kym was the one that negotiated the catering contract for us, not sure how her team could seriously make such a huge error. One key point to make here, the caterer went out of their way a few days AFTER the wedding to make amends (despite their assertion that they only listened to the K&S team). They offered to treat us to an anniversary dinner and a few comps at their local restaurant. As for K&S? Well they were gone with the wind after that last cash payment made at the wedding. It still leaves a bad feeling in my stomach to this day.

    I HIGHLY recommend K &S Events for all the future brides!!…read more Kym was my day-of coordinator but helped me throughout my planning process. She was very easy to get a hold of anytime of they day, she will make time to answer all your questions and make sure you are on the right track. She helped me with my lighting and got me the best possible deal, the lighting company was a mess but she ensured me she would be on top of them and helped me get the exact Gobo light that I wanted and tested it out for me to make sure all the words were clear. She also helped me out big time with my timeline, and kept me on track the day of, without her, I don't know what I would've done. She's very prompt and organized, she made sure my wedding reception looked beautiful. My only regret is that I didn't have her help me with the entire wedding, wish I had her deal with some of my crazy vendors for me before hand. She really came through on my big day and knowing that she was taking care of everything I was able to feel less stressed and enjoyed my ceremony. Many thanks to Kym and K&S Events, I truly appreciate it!!

Laura referred in an excellent caterer from Anaheim (Cortina's). She and Audrey and Carlos helped with appetizers (shrimp, focaccia, pigs in a blanket, charcuterie plate), served beer and wine, served plated salads, served plated lasagna, chicken, and vegetables, and served cake. They expertly made things tidy as they went along, and cleaned up the kitchen and house as the party wound down. Sorry to say the house was pretty much filled to capacity, so moving around was not always easy. Thankfully, they were well-dressed and passed around infectious smiles (especially Audrey) along with the food. First class operation.

They arrived on time, I was behind as usual and running around frazzled. They immediately jumped in and started to help from laying out the cheese tray, assembling the seafood tower, and chopping garnishes. I went over the passed appetizers we would be serving assuming I would be helping in the kitchen, they asked a couple of good questions and from there they handled everything, they heated and served all the food and paired with the appropriate drinks, refilled trays throughout the night, and cleaned our kitchen. They would not let me do dishes, they would not let my husband take out the trash, they lit candles, and even took pictures for me of the setup. They literally handled everything with smiles. Truly beautiful humble, kind and hardworking woman! I have never enjoyed a party we hosted this much I actually got to visit with people rather than be in the kitchen the whole time and I woke up to a sparkly kitchen, and food put away. My husband and I said this was our best yet party and we owe that to Laura and Cassie! Thank you ladies for making our night, we will never host a party without you!

When it came down to the wire, WOW- They exceeded everything that you can ask for in having wedding coordinators for your wedding. They were on top of everything and anything! There were so many moments where I needed a breather, so they "snuck" me out to check out everything and get some air (because everyone was pulling me in different directions!). At one point, I really wanted to see my dessert bar, but couldn't get to it, so Karan took me through a "detour" for me to check it out on the other side before all the chaos ensued. They made sure everything was perfect from beginning to end, and I am SO happy for their amazing work ethics, wonderful personalities, and overall, just great people to have and surround yourself with.

We simply shared the direction that I tend to like (neutral, organic, quaint, nothing frou-frou, and especially no on the offensive pink).

The event planner Sylvia is disorganized, she hands you paperwork that says one thing and then says the complete opposite. She's vague with responses and also passive aggressive. In order to test their food for your event, you need to text her weekly to see whose party you can go to and steal food from. So you're at the mercy of whatever dish is being served that week, want to try something that's not being served? You have to pay. The wait staff for the event is also unprofessional. The bartender was charging for drinks although we paid for a package that included some, he was pocketing the money and asking pressuring people into tips. When confronted about it he finally stopped but nevertheless it shouldn't have happened. Wait staff is rude and passive aggressive. There's a reason this place has little to no reviews, avoid this company at all costs unless you want to get berated for asking for clarification on stuff Sylvia is too annoyed to answer.

The event was held a few weeks ago and guests are not only still talking about the food but a few have already booked PBP for their upcoming events. Leading up to the event, Hollis and her team were so easy to work with and communicated every detail with myself and my event planner. The guest count was higher than my wedding and was stressful to manage at times, but the PBP team handled everything so professionally and easily. After a few appetizers were passed around, there were a number of stations to choose from. It seemed like every guest had a different favorite. We all enjoyed delicious Jewish comfort food like latkes, brisket sliders, kugel, and matzo ball soup shots as well as Mediterranean food with salmon and chicken kebabs, rice pilaf, and a Greek salad. One guest said that the hummus was the best she had ever tried! It really was that good. The kids mostly enjoyed a slider station with sirloin hamburgers, fried chicken, and french fries, but plenty of adults grabbed a slider as well. They also created a signature drink for the Bar Mitzvah boy, which was really cute. For dessert, we all loved the ice cream sundae bar and assorted mini desserts like lemon bars, rugelach, and brownies. PBP also made yummy black and white cookies for all of our guests to bring home. With about 11 staff members to help with the event, PBP helped create an incredibly enjoyable and memorable event for my family and our guests. Everything about the experience was top notch. My only regret is that I was too busy with guests to enjoy everything at the time. Thankfully we had some leftovers to devour later (except for that hummus - everyone went back for seconds!). Whenever I plan another big event, Parties by Panache will definitely be my first call. (I don't have pictures from my photographer yet, but will upload a few when I get them)

I was initially concerned that having someone hanging around while we had appetizers and dinner would be weird, but she blended right in. I was impressed that she kept an eye on the ice bucket and drinks, and offered to serve up plates and refill glasses during dinner. Regarding the food, I have 4 words: GET THE SHORT RIBS. Everything else was also delicious. Once we were done eating, she boxed up the leftovers (of which there were plenty for everyone to take what they wanted plus more). She cleaned up quickly and even washed the dishes I had provided. I told her she and the crew at PBP are my new best friends and they will be hearing from me in the future. The only downside was that she refused when one of my guests asked her to marry him ;)...maybe next time!! Thank you again, Ashley, Kelly and all the crew who worked behind the scenes to give me a Thanksgiving party to be thankful for.
