Natalia was communicative, understanding, and exceeded my expectations in her orientation to detail, passion to make our event the best, and reliability.

And throughout the entire process, she checked in with me on which colors I preferred and what my vision was for the event.

She had a good sense for what needed to be done without being explicitly told. As a result, things ran very smoothly. There were moments where I was convinced Natalia had psychic powers, or at the very least an intricate surveillance system that gave her insight to every single person's needs. If someone needed a cup, she would appear with one. If someone had crumbs on their face, she'd show up with a napkin. From setup to cleanup, Natalia was a huge help. She wouldn't even allow us to help wash dishes afterwards. I highly recommend New York Key Staffing.

Jose was professional and his prices were competitive. I was looking for a basic DJ and MC but he was way more than I expected. He had an awesome light show that he offered...lets just say my husband was drooling after that presentation and I had no choice but to say ok. We put the deposit down right away!!! We met a few days before the wedding to finalize the list of music and of course I was overprepared with 5 pages of music haha. But it was so comforting to know that he was familiar with a majority of the music. We were very worried that we wouldnt be able to find a DJ that could properly mix American, Carribbean and Spanish music. They did that and more. My wedding has been over 2 months ago and I still get calls about the DJ. They truly made the wedding and set the tone. The floor was literally jumping towards the end of the night!!! If only I could go back to that day!!! Jose even helped with non-DJ responsibilities...even just asking how everything was going!! Elegancia was magnificent and I will be calling for any major event that I have...You should too!!

I'll just put it out there - Elegancia Entertainment was a mixed-bag for us. Our collaboration with…read morethem started out well, but by the time our wedding was over, we were... underwhelmed. We met with them on a recommendation from my cousin.They did a great job at for him, and at the party I saw them DJ late last year. We met with the owner, Jose, and were impressed enough to book without seeing any other DJs. He innately has the elegance for which his company strives. He's a well organized, intelligent professional. We were sold on him, and his self-made photo booth. Things went a bit wonky months later when we later met the Emcee/DJ he assigned to us. You see, we had asked if he would be our Emcee, or emcee and DJ both. He said he could emcee, but there would be someone else DJing. We never confirmed with him that he was emceeing, and who we got was one of his contractors. After meeting this contractor, we saw he wasn't a great fit, but I knew I could pull together and supply enough music and provide all the cues he'd need. So we rolled with it. Our mistake. Another issue was that we thought we were hiring a 2-man team, but were told they need an extra hand, a lighting assistant. That's an extra vendor meal and extra tip, and we found out a month before the wedding. On the wedding day he missed the bride's entrance cue. I had listed out (and supplied) four different pieces of music, one each for the parents, the groomsmen, the bridesmaids and the bride. He didn't switch to the bridesmaid music when they walked out, so he thought their music was the bride's music. She wouldn't come out until our Maitre 'D rushed over to tell him to switch the music. As to the reception, things went well until the dancing started. He started our first (choreographed) dance without a cue - we rushed to be in position to start. The music during the reception was tepid - the consensus amongst the guests was that his set skewed older. He didn't read the crowd very well, and didn't really get what I was trying to convey during our meeting. There were a couple of other small matters, but the gist is that this guy didn't listen well - he suggested and defaulted to the things he had done before. He wasn't a good match for us, whereas we feel Jose would have been. Bottom line is this: We might recommend Elegancia in the future, but with these caveats. 1. Try to get Jose to emcee, or truly vet his contractors for fit. 2. Be sure to voice your concerns as soon as you have them. 3. Be very specific about your needs and wants. Maybe even micro-manage the music flow.

The events were cool, the cooking competition events were cool, and the prices were reasonable. Plus the lead guy Jabber has such a passion and a great energy. I know it sounds like I do their marketing, lol, but nah, I just like real foodie energy. So it was great to me that they've taken one of the great chefs from the competitive events and ventured out into catering more often. I went to a tasting recently and I LOVED IT. Same foodie energy with a 'not your average chicken & beef' selection of great food. Food is tasty and easily takes into account any type of ethnicity and variety one may prefer. Kudos to them & I cant wait until I can hire or go to an event with their catered food.

Komeeda - Could Not Have Asked For Better…read more I would 100% recommend Komeeda Catering to anyone who is looking to put up an event that needs incredible food and service as well as contributing to an incredible mission. Komeeda, as a company, strives to create a multi-cultural experience tailored to the unique identities and values of who they are working with. From the very start of our experience, Jabber and Rosalee were helpful and collaborative in crafting a catering experience for our wedding that reflected the multi-cultural aspects as well as who we are as a couple. Through in-person meetings as well as over the phone, they made themselves available to us to implement adjustments to food choices as well as venue decorations we had to change in anticipation of the event. It was a feeling of relief knowing that we were in good hands from start to finish. This not only eliminated the usual worrying that comes with planning and anticipating a wedding, but also allowed us to enjoy the actual the experience of selecting food and decorations which reflected our identity as a couple. One of the highlights of the planning process was attending tasting with Chef Alex who prepared a myriad of interesting and innovative plates from both our cultures. He not only was friendly and very skilled but also took feedback in adjusting the flavor profile of dishes he was presenting. We could not have been happier and having a tasting so thoroughly thought-through gave us an accurate idea of how food would taste on the actual day (as it should!). Jabber and Rosalee were also very communicative along the way and were willing to not only accommodate our schedules but also where we would meet in the city. During the actual day of the wedding, the venue was beautifully prepared according to a "mood board" my wife and I designed for them to follow as a rough template of what we were thinking for decorative details (color scheme, table layout, etc.). They perfectly captured what we needed working with the venue owner to best accommodate the uniqueness of the space we had our reception at. As for the food, it was exquisite and people kept telling us how it was the best food they have had at a wedding as well as the friendliness of the servers. A couple of my friends also commented how incredible the bartender was and how she accommodated drink requests that were not necessarily on the menu. Everyone was amazed with the experience that Komeeda provided and their focus on details made everyone feel right at home allowing everyone to have a great time from start to finish. Jabber even remembered when we casually asked him if he could save us some hors d'oeuvres from cocktail hour as we missed it to take pictures before arriving at the reception. Guests were also pleasantly surprised when they were offered take-home boxes or another plate of food when everyone was dancing. Jabber and Rosalee took our own identities and values into account when they were able to offer compostable, bamboo kitchenware, which interested our guests and created awareness of environmental sustainability. Jabber and Rosalee are great people and great collaborators for events and we are grateful for the opportunity to have met and worked with them. They're timeliness, professionalism and passion for the company mission, created an experience that is truly unforgettable for everyone. Thank you to Jabber, Rosalee and Chef Alex for putting up an event that contributed to the wonderful memories we will have from our special day.

I paid $1,000+ for three staff members, and two of them showed up late. For an event where timing matters, this immediately created unnecessary stress. There was no reimbursement, no partial refund, and no real attempt to make things right. Unfortunately, the issues went beyond punctuality. The staff appeared unprofessional stating things like "you own this house?" in shock and degrading that people of color could own a lovely home and mostly stood around instead of proactively assisting guests or supporting the flow of the event. I found myself directing people I had hired to manage things -- which defeated the entire purpose of booking staff in the first place. When I addressed my concerns with the owner, I was met with zero accountability. Rather than acknowledging the late arrivals and lack of professionalism, she shifted the blame onto me as the customer. That response was more disappointing than the service itself. The company promotes itself heavily and builds high expectations, but the execution simply did not match the branding. Being offered a "discount" for a future event felt almost insulting -- especially given this was my first time hiring event staff and likely my last with this company. Since then, I've seen what professional event staff actually look like at another event, and the difference was night and day. This was my baby shower -- a special milestone -- and the experience added stress instead of support. I would not book again and do not recommend.
