They truly brought our vision to life and made the entire setup feel so special and personalized. The quality of the backdrop was amazing--beautifully designed, vibrant, and the perfect focal point for the party. We received so many compliments from our guests, and it made for the most memorable photos. We had many changes throughout out party planning process which I felt really bad for but Lisa and her team were so easy to communicate with! They werepunctual, and clearly passionate about what they do. You can tell they genuinely care about making your event feel magical. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking to elevate their event. Thank you for helping make our son's birthday so unforgettable!

I had such a wonderful experience working with The Simple Luxe for my son's first birthday party…read morethat was farmers market themed! 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'm extremely disappointed with my experience. I booked this business over a month in advance and…read morepaid a deposit to secure my date, expecting professionalism and reliability. Unfortunately, that was not the case. On the day of my event, I was left stressed and scrambling because the owner almost didn't show up. I was told that my event hadn't even been put into their calendar, despite my deposit and prior communication. That level of disorganization is unacceptable, especially when clients are trusting you with important events. What made matters worse was the lack of accountability and poor customer service when addressing the situation. Instead of taking responsibility and reassuring me, the response felt dismissive and unprofessional. I had to ask for some sort of compensation and she only took $20 off and stated it was a "slight inconvenience" which to her it was but not for me. She set up while my party was going on and didn't even use the colors I requested. If it is the businesses mess up I feel they need to take more accountability especially since I was a returning customer. In the end, things like this shouldn't happen when you're running a business that people rely on for special occasions. I would strongly recommend others confirm multiple times or consider other vendors to avoid the stress I experienced.

I cannot recommend Sky Meadow enough! From start to finish, their event planning and coordination…read moreis nothing short of super professional and seamless. The level of detail they put into every aspect of the event is impressive--they truly go above and beyond. Ellen is absolutely amazing to work with. She thinks in angles you wouldn't even imagine, bringing a depth of experience, resourcefulness, and creativity that makes your vision come to life effortlessly. Whether you're starting from scratch or already have ideas, she guides you every step of the way, helping you stay on budget while knowing exactly where to save and where to splurge. I've personally used Sky Meadow for my baby's dohl and have since referred Ellen to all my friends and family--everyone has been just as thrilled with her work. Coming from someone with an event coordinating background, I can confidently say she is incredibly valuable, and I will always turn to her for any event I have. If you want a stress-free, beautifully executed event with someone who truly cares and delivers, Sky Meadow and Ellen are the ones to trust. You will not regret it!

Ellen is a wizard when it comes to creativity and ideas. I asked for a Pride and Prejudice meets Bridgerton vibe for our baby boy, and she definitely delivered. She came up with the entire concept and was able to make our dohl dreams come true! Her team is also on top of it. I was impressed with how much they actually build on the day of the event! They're amazing. We did the emcee package (without Ellen and with another one of her staff members) and they all did a fantastic job making our event run smoothly and keeping us on schedule. If you're looking for a company to put together a dohl to remember, def hit up SMP!

Whimsy Pasadena has been around since 2019. This charming, beautiful, wonderful place welcomes…read moreeveryone with kind hospitality, love and genuine smiles. Whimsy is an open & bright space with plenty of parking, shops & restaurants nearby. You can host any and every event from birthday parties, to small/medium size weddings, bar/bat mitzvahs, engagements, baptisms, holiday parties, seminars, workshops, and more.. It is somewhat small to medium venue that holds about 60 to 90 people. You certainly don't feel cramped up. Too be honest with you, I hadn't heard of this place until 3 years ago when one of my friends asked me to host her son's Bar Mitzvah celebration. I was more than honored to have the privilege to do that. With that being said, yesterday I was invited to celebrate one of my former coworker's daughter's 15th birthday party. It was a fun and great party. They have many different amenities from tables/chairs, kitchenette with mini fridge, microwaves, credenza & wooden backdrop. Just to name a few. You can bring your own food/beverages and also they will help you clean up. Prices vary depending on the occasion/event. They range between $150-$300 an hour. Weekends can be just a little more expensive. They brought a taco truck and were able to cater and set up in the outdoor space. Everyone had a blast both times that I was there. If you need a good venue to do any of the following, no need to look elsewhere. Whimsy has you covered from A to Z!! Thank you all..

Just wanted to sing praises for the amazing support Alexis provided for our wedding dinner at Bar…read moreChelou. My husband and I wanted to plan something of a wedding celebration dinner, and we knew we needed some help because we live on the other side of the country and also none of our family and friends were available to provide much support. JM Events came recommended to me by my photographer who had been in the wedding industry for over a decade. I set up a call with Lilian and we went over my vision for what kind of event I was envisioning and she discussed what kinds of services JME could provide for our event and also shared that they had planned and coordinated similar type events in the recent past. After our call, I also had meetings with other event coordination companies and it was clear to me that JM Events would be the best fit for us as they seemed the most competent and professional. I also liked that JM Events was based nearby our venue. Two months ahead of the event, Alexis began working with us. We tossed around a lot of high-level ideas we were considering and Alexis provided insight on whether or not or how they would work within the constraints of our venue and timeline. Alexis and Lilian also had vendor recs at the ready at different price points whenever we needed them as well. Over time we narrowed down which ideas we wanted at our wedding and Alexis provided invaluable insight on wedding logistics and restaurant service ops that we should consider in our planning. She attended our venue walkthrough with us so that we could begin to visualize placement for different "stations" at our wedding and also served as our advocate with the various vendors we had hired. She also checked in with us and the vendors over increments in time so that we met all of our venue deadlines and to ensure that all of the vendors were in lockstep with what we were planning.  The week of the event, Alexis worked to make sure to send out event confirmations with all of our vendors so that each vendor was prepared to arrive on time and any accommodation our vendors needed were provided. This was so impressive that my make-up artist asked me where I had found Alexis! Alexis and Lillian were consummate professionals through and through, I felt supported the entire time and any question I had was met with a very considered response that only a very experienced events planning professional could provide.  Our wedding celebration was one of the best days of both my husband and my lives. We also received so many compliments on our event, like "best wedding ever" and "can I copy your entire wedding?" I was on cloud nine the whole night and in watching some of my friend's video footage I saw Alexis working in the background making sure that our timeline was executed exactly as planned.  I know certainly that without JME and Alexis, our night would not have went off as seamlessly as it did and I am so grateful for JME and their team. I am already plotting on when I can plan another party and hire JME :)

Lilian and her team are TRULY amazing. I know everybody says that, but I hope that really goes to…read moreshow the truth as to how incredible they are. My (then) boyfriend and I got engaged in February 2021, and I always knew I'd want a slightly longer engagement, just to push things out so I'd have more time to decide on what I wanted and how I wanted it. From the start, however, we already knew we wanted to work with Lilian and her team. Given that I had more time, somewhat wanted the challenge of planning a wedding, and felt pretty prepared, we opted for the month-of services. Once we started working with Lilian, our wedding-planning life honestly became sooo much easier. I feel like we had a pretty good idea and plan for everything we needed, yet, Lilian still, easily, made things even better. There were so many things we didn't know we needed. She was so thorough, organized, and thoughtful and knowing she and her team would be by our side to finalize the details and (basically) walk us down the aisle, really put us at ease. Her communication was spot on - not just with us, but with our vendors, and with handling any (not unexpected) last minute changes. She was so easy to reach and communicate with, and was always so patient and efficient. She knew what we wanted, what we needed, and offered suggestions along the way. On our big day, her team was just as great - from the pre-wedding set up, making sure our bridal party had everything we needed, even helping us order boba - Lilian had everything all thought out. She checked in with us throughout the busy night, and helped wrap things up seamlessly. We truly couldn't imagine a more perfect day, and would not have had it any other way. I'd recommend her to everybody I know - for any event, big or small! Thank you JME team!

From the very first inquiry to the follow-up message when your event is done, Kalinda and team will meet your every question attentively and promptly, and create a magical experience for all involved. Every character is a real-life princess and is so deeply caring with the lore and background and behavior of the world(s) they inhabit. I have been to and hosted many a Wishing Well party and I am always blown away - it truly feels like you have these characters come to life straight out of the stories and movies. Oh! And the insanely beautiful voices and dancing?? It's unreal. We most recently hosted a birthday party with Moana and when she started singing to the children the entire party went silent...the adults thought at first that she was lip-syncing to a recording and then quickly became convinced that we had worked some magic to have Moana pop right out of DIsney+ and into our lives. It was amazing. Wishing Well is amazing. On top of the mind-blowing, crowd-pleasing characters come to life, Kalinda also is sure to make sure that every possible detail is communicated and taken care (since we all know that things can fall through the cracks with the million things going on in life and party planning...)! I have always felt so taken care of and know that when Wishing Well is involved, it's going to be a magical day for everyone.

We were all honestly in awe of her, just the most perfect Elsa we could have ever hoped for. My daughter is insanely particular and notices every single detail, so a part of me was afraid she'd think whoever came was most certainly not her true Elsa. But WOW Stephanie sold that Elsa magic so well--from the outfit to the makeup to her poise to her amazing singing voice. The joy my little girl felt all throughout her party and into today will be something our family will remember probably forever. Stephanie made her feel SO special, gave her such amazing care and attention, but also handled the other kiddos so beautifully. At least half the parents there begged me for the contact information for how we booked her. Thank you Stephanie for your professionalism, promptness, and everything you delivered on yesterday. We'll never forget it. Not to mention, Kalinda was very attentive through email during the booking process, and even while away in another country on vacation, she handled a last-minute performer swap wonderfully due to an emergency. She stayed in touched and made sure we were taken care of. 5-stars all the way.
