I was born in the U.S., part Italian Catholic, part Jewish. My husband was born in China. We had a lot of traditions to celebrate at our wedding and Red Wedding helped make sure everyone from every background felt totally included, with music, activities, and live translation of the whole reception. From the initial planning meetings with Steven, we knew we were in good hands. He was extremely organized and attentive to detail as we walked through the full reception timeline together, minute by minute. He was a good listener, understanding the type of event we wanted, which allowed him to make very helpful suggestions for the programming and timing. Steven was very generous with his time in these planning meetings, and the materials he prepped and shared (timelines, song lists, lists of key persons to recognize, etc.) meant that we knew in advance that everything would go smoothly on the big day. We also really appreciated that May, our DJ, and Sisi, our English/Mandarin MC, took the time to meet with us in advance of the wedding as well so that we were on the same page with everything from musical styles to how to pronounce the wedding party's names exactly right in both languages. My husband and I also really appreciated how well the Red Wedding team worked with our main contact at the reception venue and with our month-of wedding coordinator, taking the time to meet with them in advance to hash out logistics and set out clear roles & responsibilities. All of this planning meant that the reception itself was nothing short of spectacular! The grand entrance, the first dance, the mother-son dances, the anniversary game, the hora, the dance sets - everything was flawless! Seriously, I have been dreaming about my first dance with my spouse at my wedding since I was a little kid and - just like the title of our song - it was Perfect. May did an amazing job as DJ striking the right tone for all the different segments of the evening. Sisi was absolutely delightful as MC - she was energetic and funny and sweet but still kept the spotlight on us and our whole family, keeping both the American and Chinese sides engaged and partying together. Multiple guests came up to me after the wedding to say how impressed they were with the Red Wedding team, and we heartily agree! My husband and I are so grateful to Steven, May, and Sisi for making our special day so special, and we cannot recommend them highly enough!

We were most interested in their bilingual MC services (as we had multiple Mandarin only speakers at the event) and were extremely impressed by their ability to communicate in both English and Mandarin as well as transition between various parts of the evening. Their DJ was great and everyone had so much fun on the dance floor! Overall we highly recommend Red Wedding for MC/DJ services (especially for any bilingual MC!).

We booked her a year in advance and made a few changes up until last month. Shirley was very accommodating, and during our final meeting we confirmed all the colors and counts. She was organized and offered great suggestions for the family boutonnieres. All the flowers turned out beautifully, and the team did an amazing job matching the colors we asked for. We chose silk flowers for the arch, and they looked even better than real ones. We received so many compliments--everyone was practically fighting to take the centerpieces home! XD The photobooth picture quality was also excellent. Two attendants were available throughout the reception to assist guests, and even our shy older relatives went up to take photos. Everyone received a paper copy, and the team set aside an extra set for us to take home. We also received an online album, which made it easy to download all the photos. We highly recommend Jelo for anyone's wedding or event floral needs.

When we met with Terrian the connection was immediate. Even my husband liked her and he's a tougher critic than me!

However, my vision was executed beautifully and Terrian was also very creative with her ideas - we made a great team! From the rehearsal dinner to the ceremony and reception, people cannot stop talking about this wedding, the details and how magical it was. I highly recommend Terrian and her team!

Over the summer, we got married in Tarrytown, NY, and one thing we both knew we wanted for our…read morewedding was a photo booth. We have always loved taking pictures together at photo booths at other weddings, so we were excited to have one at our own! After speaking with our wedding venue, they recommended a few photo booth companies, and we are SO happy they suggested Fun Booth LLC. From the moment we reached out, they were incredibly responsive and took the time to answer every single one of our questions. They truly went above and beyond to bring our dream photo booth to life! About a month before the wedding, we decided at the last minute that we wanted to incorporate an LED sign with our last name. Fun Booth recommended a company for us to purchase one from and had no problem setting it up for us on our wedding day. We love that the sign is now hanging in our apartment and is a special reminder of our wedding day! After the wedding, it was so much fun looking through the photo booth book our guests created with their photos and messages. We also received access to all of our photo booth pictures digitally a couple of weeks after the wedding, which was such a great way to relive the memories! We highly recommend Fun Booth LLC to anyone looking for a photo booth for their wedding. They were professional, responsive, accommodating, and helped make our wedding even more memorable. Thank you, Fun Booth, for being such a special part of our day!

Initially I wasn't sure if they would accommodate since it's a smaller event, but they happily accommodated for my 30th party event. They gave me different options to pick from and let me know all their prices flat out so there were no additional fees. I also opted for a personalized guest sign in book for a small charge that I liked. It was nice to be able to have a book with all the messages from my friends and all their Photobooth pictures in it! I also loved that they're detailed oriented and went the extra mile to create personalized designs. I wanted something pink, minimal and flower themed, and they gave me a bunch of different designs. Definitely highly recommend & will use for the future again!

We love, love, loved Sarah and the whole Pollyanna Events team. We were exactly the couple you'd…read morethink wouldn't need a planner -- our wedding was intimate and relaxed, we had incredible family support, and we were lucky enough to share a really clear vision for the day that we were willing to work for. Never mind that we're both detail-oriented with tons of event exposure. But all of that is exactly why we ended up needing someone with us in the home stretch -- so we and everyone we love could just enjoy the experience and focus on having an incredible time together. From the moment we met Sarah, it was clear how great she was. Her energy is both calming and competent, she got us and our style right away, she had useful input for us before we even officially contracted her, and she had methods in place (timelines, collaborative spreadsheets, day-of checklists, and a lot more) that she quickly customized to us, which instantly made everything feel more manageable. And though she had a long list of fantastic vendors for every taste, budget, and imaginable location, she also went out of her way to work with the folks we'd already chosen, especially our non-traditional venues, which were wonderful but not necessarily set up for weddings. It was a huge advantage to have Sarah in our corner in the weeks leading up to our wedding, from nudging vendors on final details to helping us handle what could've been real problems at the last-minute. When our hair stylist had to cancel, for instance, she connected with someone at the salon where she gets her own hair cut and ended up finding us a replacement so good that I still see her to get my hair done. But where Sarah and her team made an unforgettable difference was in the days leading up to the wedding and on the day itself. It's so easy after you've put so much effort into this one weekend to get obsessed with making sure it all goes to plan. The reality, though, is that little things are always going to go wrong. And maybe even more important than that, if you spend your time worrying about -- or trying to fix -- them, you're going to miss out on the big, awesome thing that is your wedding day. Thanks to Sarah, we didn't even hear about the little hiccups -- a key guest stuck in traffic, a backup in the kitchen, etc. -- till our wedding was long over. And Sarah was such a centering presence from the second the day started that we didn't once check or think about the time, yet ended up having enough wiggle room in our schedule to stop in for a drink (wedding dress and all) at our favorite local spot. From then on, I just remember having fun. Here's the truth: For a wedding to feel effortless -- which is what we all hope for -- takes a *ton* of work. Most of us are willing to put the work in, I think, but it's only worth it if you actually get to enjoy the experience of getting married. That's what Sarah and her team make possible. It isn't something that can happen just bringing a planner in day-of -- that person would barely have a chance to build a relationship with you, let alone all your vendors. And it definitely doesn't happen with all planners; having had occasion to hire planners for other big events outside of New York City, I can't overstate how valuable Sarah's empathy, her unique and personal touch, and her strong sense of initiative and accountability are. Honestly, I worried that I'd be one of those unbearable brides with insane standards -- because I'm constantly involved with professional events in my regular life -- but Sarah met and exceeded every expectation. And beyond all that, she just added an air of ease and joy to the planning process that made such an impression on us. Sarah and her team made us feel like they were as invested in our wedding as we were, and that means the world when you're getting married.

We hired Pollyanna Events for month of coordination. We mainly worked with Karolina and she did a…read morefantastic job. She checked in with us about 2 months out just to help ensure that we were getting everything in line and had the right items on our checklist. From there on we started checking in more regularly and she was super helpful with any questions we had. In the month leading up to the wedding, she took over vendor communication which took a bit off our plate. During our walkthrough of the venue, she showed up prepared and ready to go with so many helpful questions that we never would have thought to ask when planning a wedding for the first time. In the weeks leading up, she put together a really helpful timeline for us to ensure we got to do all the things we wanted to do on our wedding day (getting ready, photos with our families, pictures of the two of us at sunset, dancing etc.). It really helped us plan out the day and ensure we could allot as much time to dancing as possible! Finally, the day of, we couldn't have asked for a better team. Karolina stayed with the bride all day to keep the timeline on track (and make sure she didn't forget to eat!) while her teammate, Kristina, was helping put everything together at the venue. Karolina gently kept us on track all day by reminding us when it was time for photos, dance, cake-cutting, but also gave us the flexibility to move things around a bit if we needed a few more minutes talking to our parents. It was truly fantastic and I cannot imagine how much of a mess we would have made of the wedding if Karolina wasn't there to help keep the whole show on track. Our guests commented on how smoothly everything went and how well the timing was all laid out from arrival to ceremony to food to dancing. No one was left hungry or felt like they were waiting for something. For us, this was the most important aspect: our friends and family were able to enjoy themselves without having to worry about the process of the wedding. Thank you so much Karolina, Kristina, and the whole Pollyanna Events team!!!
