Overall, working with Shari was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day - I would highly recommend her!

I had DJ Joey dj my wedding and could not have been more disappointed…read more For starters I should have known to verify things after he tried to tell us there was no "clean" version of our grand entrance song and we may want to change it. I was pretty set on this song so I researched for myself and was able to find the clean version on 3 different platforms in about 60 seconds. Another thing is that I have never heard of a DJ who doesn't take requests... I guess we are supposed to know every song our guests are going to want to listen to beforehand. He was unable to take a request for a song that a lot of our guests wanted to hear. The biggest problem of the night was that he played the wrong song for my father daughter dance. We put the very title of the song and what version on the document we shared with him and even had a meeting to go over all of it. If there were ever any doubts he should have reached out to confirm he had the right song and clarify. I really hope this isn't a thing that has happened to a lot of couples he's DJ'd for because it absolutely ruined the moment. That was one of the moments I was looking forward to most because the song had a lot of meaning being that it was my stepfather I was dancing with. He seemed to be more worried about other things like asking us and all of our vendors if we would have an umbrella for him at ceremony even after we already told him we would take care of it. He also kept saying how he would be like "our second wedding planner" and tried to interject himself into things that did not pertain to him. He should probably focus more on making sure he does the DJ part right. Overall I was very disappointed with the experience and would not recommend him. He didn't even have the curtesy to apologize to me after my husband let him know he played the wrong song.

Scott ran our photo booth and was equally amazing--extremely friendly, professional, and great with the crowd. Plus, he saved us a copy of every photo taken!

So many of our guests have been to 20+ weddings in the past few years and we have heard from so many of them that our dance floor was by far the best that they have ever seen! Trevor checked in with us throughout our wedding to see if we needed anything at all and was just a great addition to our team! The DJing also blended seamlessly with our live sax. Truly the most iconic duo. The lapel mics during the ceremony worked beautifully without the need for a clunky mic, the speeches went beautifully and everything was handled with ease throughout the night. Not to mention our Photo Booth with Scott was also incredible! He provided great props and made sure everyone got their printed pics after, and sent us the fully library of photos! 100000000/10 we cannot recommend enough

He was easy going, kind, enthusiastic and flexible. Joe went above and beyond by designing a cute dolphin image at the bottom of the photo strip.

Some of the photos were hysterical and I really enjoyed looking at them in the memory book and digitally after the wedding. I would definitely recommend Picture this Photo Booth!

She was also our day of coordinator for the day as well. She did an absolutely great job! She executed nearly both events flawlessly. There were some minor hiccups the day of that could have been perhaps dropped because of lack of communication or perhaps lack of staff the day of. We also lost part of our deposit for the venue because her staff took a bit longer to clean up then was allotted. However, regardless of all of the little hiccups the wedding and rehearsal dinner were absolutely gorgeous. She surpassed our wildest expectations and gave us the wedding of our dreams. Her price is worth the quality that she offers her clients. Minor hiccups were nothing compared to the job she did.

I'm so happy that Karla was our florist for our big day! Karla really delivered. Prior to hiring…read moreher, we set up a phone call where my husband and I discussed our vision for the wedding: white, cream, and greens, with a mix of elegance and simplicity... and hints from the iconic Twilight saga I personally wanted something similar to the Breaking Dawn wedding scene where there were lots of white and cream flowers & wisteria while also being budget friendly. Karla was able to take the vision and run with it. She was so welcoming, non-judgmental, and knowledgeable. She made me feel comfortable with communicating my vision for the big day and made me feel hopeful that we could make this vision a reality. In addition to the beautiful arch that she decorated for us, she made us aisle markers made of flowers, brought white rose petals and set it along the aisle AND brought some for my flower man to toss down the aisle. She also made 13 bouquets for me & all of my bridesmaids. The florals during dinner time were amazing as well with long green garlands with white florals still staying on theme. My husband and I are so impressed with how everything turned out. She really went above and beyond (and within budget too). Trust me, you won't regret hiring Karla as your florist!

We had someone to go to for any hiccups or questions that came up, and Katherine solved them for us immediately! What a difference it made for us, to have someone like her -organized, efficient, quick- so we could get our job done well for the bride and groom.

Having worked in events, I was determined to direct the creative vision of our wedding...but with work and the stress of planning a wedding from distance, how was I going to stay on task, remember due dates, and remain a relatively calm bride to be?! Well the answer is the very well organized, diplomatic (and when needed sympathetic), Katherine Noller-Fernandez. While planning our Monterey/Carmel Valley wedding from Newport Beach, there was always an email reminder or phone call keep me on task. Whenever I was worried we weren't far enough along in our planning she would let me know I was doing just fine. She works well with all of the vendors, and when difficulties arise is very diplomatic. I have read the reviews for Custom Celebrations - and I had no idea Katherine had so many clients! This is actually a huge testament to her, however, because I honestly felt like I was her only bride. Now, I am not saying this because I was living in the bridal state known as "It's all about me", but because she truly makes you feel like you're her only client. Phone calls were returned right away and she always makes time for you when she meets with you. She has several package options ranging from Full Service to Day Of, depending on what you are looking for.Working with her is a pleasure!
