Brenda did a fantastic job helping with layout planning, timeline creation, decor/floral ideas, coordinating with other vendors and making sure everything ran smoothly the day of. Even prior to the month of, she was already touring the venue with us and gave suggestions when I had any questions or concerns. She made sure to meet with / communicate through e-mail / text/ zoom in a timely manner to address any issues and coordinated smoothly with other vendors. Overall our special day went exceptionally well, exceeding my expectations. We were very grateful we had Brenda to help make sure everything went smoothly and did not worry about anything the day of. If you're looking for an affordable and professional wedding planning in the East Bay, we would strongly recommend Brenda.

We had several meetings to ensure I was on the right path and checking off all the to do's. And the day of coordinator was perfect. She knew exactly what to do, never bothered me asking for anything. She kept us on schedule, she did all of the day of set up, coordinated with all my vendors and handled the tips. I was also so pleasantly surprised and thrilled when I came back on Sunday that she and her assistant had put everything away, all decor and staked the tables and chairs and put away linens. Not enough ice arrived and the bar was lacking some items and her assistant went to the store to grab everything. I am SO glad to have hired Cierra because I was fully present during my wedding day and can't imagine how differently and stressful the day would have been without her help. Best money spent!

When we arrived my mm was really surprised by the set up and the really cute decoration. For an extra price they were open to buy roses, have speaker and Jenga to play. My mom still talks about it today. When doing a picnic please try to do it in a sunny day. It was first time doing something like this and Bay Area luxury made very easy and accesible.

We reached out two days before our event to request balloon decorations for a birthday party, and…read morethe booking process was incredibly easy. We called to check their availability, and they directed us to fill out the contact form on their website. We submitted it, and they got back to us the next day to review the details. After that, they sent a proposal by email, which was simple to update, and once we approved everything, we made the payment. On the day of the event, the only hiccup was timing. We told them that setup was scheduled for 3:30pm and the party would start at 5pm. When we didn't see them for a while, we tried calling but didn't get a response. They didn't arrive until around 4:40-4:45pm, which was much later than we expected. They mentioned they thought 3:30pm was just the earliest they could arrive, but we actually needed them there at 3:30pm. Thankfully, once they arrived, the setup was quick, efficient, and they finished in no time. The balloon arrangements themselves were absolutely stunning. We received so many compliments, and they completely transformed the space. They understood the aesthetic we were going for and executed it perfectly. Despite the timing miscommunication, I would still use them again because their customer service was great throughout the planning process, everything was easy to coordinate, and their work was beautiful. With clearer communication on arrival times next time, it would easily be a 5-star experience.

Maria makes the booking process super easy and she is very communicative via all forms of communication (text, phone, ig, email).

For any mama who is trying to plan a big party for their kiddo, Maria really does make the job so much easier!! I'll be going to her for all of my party decoration and dessert needs!

Our wedding was the best day!! Better than we could have imagined. From the first call we had with…read moreAlex, we knew we wanted her as our planner. The vibes felt right, and we loved that she would help us bring our vision to life by including design. We picked the partial planning & design package but honestly, after working with her, we wished we had just done full service planning. In our first meeting we gave her an idea of what we had envisioned for the day, including a shared pinterest board. From there she made a design deck that really brought our day to life. Alex provided the best vendor recommendations (including for some with whom she had relationships and discounts), thoughtful design ideas, and guidance on the overall flow of the day. She joined us for our food tasting, met with us in person to pick out our rentals, and she coordinated a site visit with the vendors in preparation for the wedding. We didn't think we needed a content creator, but she even provided us with one and it was a great addition to capturing the memories of the day! Throughout the planning process, Alex was easy to reach, responsive, collaborative, open to feedback, and genuinely easy to work with. On the day of the wedding, Alex brought everything together seamlessly. She handled every detail behind the scenes, even things that didn't go as planned were handled quickly and professionally. This really allowed us to be fully present and actually enjoy the day. When I walked down the aisle for the first time, I was blown away!! It was BEYOND, BEYOND what we had even hoped for. We are soo blessed and grateful that we got to work with Alex. In the words of my husband - Earth & Events really cooked!! 10/10 recommend, expectations fully exceeded! Thank you Alex!!

I'm sure you were not sick that day because I watched your Instagram stories that day and you were at another event, maybe a bigger event than mine. If you were truly sick I'm sure you would have to communicate it to me. This whole day was a disappointment since I loved your work on your social media that's why I booked you. But seems like money is what you value more. You offer to pay me to take my post down yet you don't respond to my emails. So at the end of the day, it's you who can't communicate. You choose not to respond and now you want to act like this, years later.

The Ultimate Surprise: A 40th Birthday Dinner to Remember!…read more I don't even know where to begin -- my 40th birthday dinner was beyond anything I could have imagined. It was a total surprise, flawlessly planned and executed by the incredible team at Bash Please, and filled with exactly 40 of my favorite people. Yes, 40 people for 40 years -- how perfect is that? The setting was stunning. Bash Please somehow captured everything I love and turned it into an effortlessly beautiful, inviting, and joy-filled atmosphere. Every detail -- from the long communal tables to the coastal-inspired décor -- felt personal and thoughtful, like it was made just for me. Because it was. And the food? A crab feed feast that dreams are made of. Piles of fresh, buttery crab, warm sourdough, crisp salads, and all the fixings. The kind of meal that gets messy in the best way -- everyone cracking shells, passing platters, laughing, and making memories. It was communal, it was delicious, and it was so me. Champagne flowed, the conversations never stopped, and I felt completely surrounded by love. I genuinely can't think of a better way to ring in a new decade. Massive thanks to Bash Please for pulling off a night that was perfectly designed and truly unforgettable. I felt celebrated, cherished, and completely surprised -- and that's no easy feat. 10/10. Would turn 40 again.

I came here on the first official day of opening hoping to reach to watch the Warriors game. I had…read morea reservation and a good attitude but to no surprise there was a huge wait due to the amount of people not leaving and still watching the game. The staff seemed very flustered on what to do and how to accommodate everyone. My boyfriend and I were offered to sit outside, which we took because we were not willing to wait any longer! I will say the manger sorting this out for us was extremely sweet and I did appreciate her. We were seated in the balcony which faces the big screen on chase center and had additional smaller TV's upstairs. I will say we were seated on the very end where there is no TV, which was kinda a bummer. The outdoor area was not finished yet, but I was surprised this seat was offered as seating. It was apparent that this section wasn't complete yet and I felt like I wasn't getting the full experience sitting in an incomplete part of the restaurant. As for the food, my boyfriend and I wanted to try a little bit of everything because foodies...DUH! The waiter bringing out food said "Wait... Is there more people jointing you? This is a lot of food." And he was being completely serious. Not that I should have to explain anything to him, when I am a customer giving good business. I have never had a waiter say this to me. This comment was completely unnecessary and yes it did really kill the excitement that I had to be here and try out this new restaurant. Overall, probably won't be back. There's a lot of hype around this place but it will most likely be busy for the next few months but hopefully they are able to figure out how to accommodate guests during games and hire staff with manners. The concept of this place is super cool and I will say the vibe is very fun and made for all sports fans. As for the food, pretty mid and would rather go somewhere else that deserves my business. The vibe of being at Chase Center is great and there are many other new restaurants that I can't wait to try.

The environment is top notch, the staff are friendly and attentive, food fantastic as well. Oh and they play the audio of the game that's being featured instead of playing music over it unlike other sports bars. I really appreciate that. The one thing I would change, is that it sucks that you can't go where you like in the building due to private events and such. Makes sense, but some of these events seem like they are scheduled for a MUCH later time. Wish we could use the space in the mean time. Having said that, this place is great and I will be going again in the future for any big game.
