Also, my husband was in Charleston, South Carolina while the wedding planning was in session. Our families seemed to have fun, and they definitely did their very best to allow us to have the best wedding experience. We were even able to fit in a night time shot with the photographer with their help of course! The picture came out great and is actually one of our favorites. Everyone LOVED the "kissing" portion we had with our guests, and the entrance was fun. Our family and relatives had the best smiles on their faces; The pictures prove it! I hope the San Diego community continue to hire these guys. For future events, we will be booking with these fellas again! They will always be our go to for DJ and Emcee services. A sincere thanks again to our entertainment team Ben, Ariz and Ryan!

The first part of my review is based on experience as an attendee at an event that Hannah of Red…read moreLetter Events planned and coordinated! Ladies, Hannah's not limited to weddings, only! She does baby showers, and other events, too! This summer, my best friend's co-ed baby shower was put together by Hannah, and it was beautiful! Dealing with a hormonal soon-to-be mom isn't easy, and I have to say that Hannah definitely made my friend and her family feel so comfortable and stress-free throughout the entire process of planning and execution. Hannah went so far above and beyond for my friend, and for that, we are all thankful! By request, Hannah was present the day of, and she made sure everything went seamlessly. My friend wanted her baby shower to have a country vibe, and the location itself was just that! It was in a beautiful park-like setting that had the cutest garden with a farm of baby goats in the background. I just melt when I think back to it! The centerpieces on the tables were floral arrangements that were so beautiful and had some of the most fragrant roses I've ever smelled. Hannah's attention to detail is second to none. The photo area had balloons that spelled out "OH BABY" and they were attached to rustic watering cans that were filled with flowers that matched the centerpiece arrangements, and the refreshment area had drinks in matching rustic buckets and troughs. As for food, my friend decided to have a food and desert truck present, and Hannah coordinated their arrival and menu options. There were several games set up to keep the guests entertained, as well. There's so much more that I could add about the baby shower, but I'll just say that it was so great and such an amazing experience that I hired her to help me with the annual Christmas party I host in my home. Let me start by saying that I didn't expect for her to take on such a big task of helping me with a holiday, when I know she probably had her own holiday events going on, but she did! I gave her an idea of what I was looking to do, and she made it happen! She even took care of invitations for me! I don't have ample seating, so she made sure that we got enough tables in to accommodate the large number of guests that were attending. I mentioned to her that I absolutely loved the centerpieces from my friend's baby shower, and I was so excited when she told me that she'd make sure I would get centerpieces just as beautiful, and they were. Dark roses, green pines, burgundy lilies, and some smaller green and white flowers adorned the tables along with scattered ornaments. The place cards were the guests' names in script, die-cut from wood that the guests could take with them to use as home decor or a tree ornament. I thought it was such a great idea. Being that I was still behind on decorating for the holiday, she made sure that the house had fresh decorations. Garland adored the stair balusters and railing, a fresh wreath hung on the door, and giant red bows hung from each lantern at the garage. Also can't forget the mistletoe hanging from an archway inside! The house smelled like a winter cabin and felt like one, too! The only thing I told Hannah that I absolutely wanted was a Christmas ham, bundt cakes, and Christmas cookies. If it wasn't for her, that's probably all I would have had, but she made sure that I had full appetizer, dinner, and dessert options for the guests. I wish I could give a better visual of both events, but I'm one of those people who pays no mind to the phone when I'm with others. One day, I'll get better at remembering to take at least one photo for my reviews. All in all, as a guest to a Red Letter Event and as a client of Hannah's, I've had wonderful experiences. I will most certainly be using her services in the future.

I talked to Hannah at Red Letter Events and she immediately understood what it would take to create an aviation themed event... She listened, understood my vision and she nailed it.

You will not be disappointed.

Event Date: 01/15/2023 Time: 1-4pm…read more Love this venue. Over a month ago, I was looking for a venue to host my son's 1st Birthday. Ultimately, I selected Wee Gather because of the services they offered and the excellent reviews on Yelp. I originally requested January 8th as the party date, but Sierra (my party coordinator) said this date was no longer available and suggested January 15th, which I booked. I had the Custom Gathering which included venue rental for two hours (I paid $125 for an extra hour, for a total of three hours), setup + clean up, tables + chairs, themed event design + styling + decorating of event space, coordinator for the planning process, themed decor + serve water, balloon garland w/custom colors, flowers, coffee bar, fully stocked mini fridge, use of projector and patio area, and access to additional furnishings (which will have extra fees depending on what you rent). This info is from the from Wee Gather website. I booked the space on 12/2/22, a little over a month before the event (01/15/23). At the time of booking, the Custom Gathering w/extra hour + rental of cooler cost me $1,150 ($975 for the Custom Gathering, $125 the extra hour, and $50 for the cooler rental). On the website, the Custom Gathering now starts at $1,299. My party coordinator, Sierra Mathews, was excellent in executing the Super Mario theme of my son's 1st Birthday Party and was super responsive whenever I had inspiration pictures or any small changes to the proposal. I even toured the venue a couple of weeks before the event. Sierra, Oceana, and Amber decorated the space so beautifully and was so gracious to help my family and I bring in the food we had catered from various restaurants of my choosing (you can also request catering from Wee Gather, who most likely have connections to caterers). The projector came in handy because I made a PowerPoint with transitions to show the growth of my son over the year and also the speaker for the music. If you are looking for an awesome space to host a kid's birthday or baby shower, this is the place. The cost is totally worth it because I am a busy mom and Sierra and her team literally did everything, I just provided the inspiration photos for the them. All the guests had a good time and loved the theme. Although my son was a little fussy throughout the party (not used to so many people), I think he secretly enjoyed the party. Thank you again Sierra, Oceana, and Amber! :-) Most Photos were taken by Sierra, only one was taken by me.

Here's the revised version:…read more The owner contacted me and offered a free event, which I declined, requesting a refund instead. She then offered a 20% refund and asked me to change my review, which I again declined. She claimed that despite paying for full event planning services, the event was subpar because I hadn't been involved in planning it. They didn't call. They didn't ask me to go their warehouse. They didn't do anything until the week of the event, when they tried to fit me into their random available times to walk them through my space via FaceTime. To clarify, I paid $2,000 for someone to plan and orchestrate an event. What I received was maybe a $200-$300 setup, and it's apparently my fault for not planning the event I paid someone to plan. She argued that I should have requested changes during the setup. However, I wasn't home at the time. The whole point of hiring this service was to arrive at a fully set-up event with my guests. When I arrived, they were still setting up as my guests were arriving (even though they were supposed to have been gone by then). So, there wasn't time to make changes, and it would have been an awkward conversation anyway. Instead of blaming me, they should have done the job they were paid to do or not sold the package in the first place. To add insult to injury, she compared this situation to eating a pizza and then requesting a refund. This was over $2k. It's not even close to ordering a pizza and asking for a refund. She ripped me off. I stand by my request for a full refund. She should have offered that refund on her own. This event was pitiful. I will never use their services again or recommend them to anyone.

There were girls in 4 different cities and we were meeting in an out of state location. She listened to the type of weekend I wanted (low maintenance, fun, outdoors, and budget friendly). and from there she ran with it! She worked with my friends and gave ideas as well as take input too on what the group thought I wanted. I was in for one of the best weekends ever- there were creative touches like decor (even matching my wedding colors), my favorite adult beverages waiting for me at check in, custom tees, and all the necessary snacks. Lauren researched Austin and was able to use her vast network and got insider knowledge on the best things to do. From dinners, to raffling and nights out- it was perfection. Honestly, I couldn't have planned it better, or at all without Lauren. If you can get Lauren as your party/event/life planner, you are in for a treat! Don't have a ton of pictures as the weekend was that fun, but feel free to connect with me about Lauren and her great work.

The Secret Garden is a great option for couples seeking a more affordable wedding venue…read more We ultimately decided against this venue because our guest count felt a bit too large for the space. While it would have comfortably accommodated a smaller wedding, a party of 150 seemed likely to feel cramped. My communication with Kendra through The Knot was efficient and responsive, and Christian did an excellent job touring us through the venue and preparing our final quote. =PROS= *Ceremony site centered around a charming gazebo, complemented by natural elements such as a towering tree, flower pots, and a picturesque hanging swing *Included feature wall perfect for signage, backdrops, or neon displays *Reception space featured high ceilings and an elegant, neutral aesthetic *Packages included tables, linens, and glassware, with upgrade options available for different styles and colors *Large inventory of complimentary decor, including signage, draping, and string lights *DJ and coordination services included *Complimentary engagement photo session and discounted wedding photography *Affordable in house catering with flexibility for outside vendors *BYO bar option available *Free photobooth included *Discount offered for cash or check payments =CONS= *Parking area was somewhat hilly and may be challenging for elderly guests *Bridal and groom suites were small and noticeably dated, with furniture showing significant wear *Bathrooms, particularly the men's, felt informal and somewhat resembled those found in elementary schools *Some of the greenery appeared wilted and lacked the lushness shown in promotional materials This would have been an excellent choice for a wedding closer to 100 guests, but it felt like a squeeze for our anticipated attendance. Ironically, the venue's strongest selling points were not the garden itself, but rather the extensive planning support and complimentary services included in the package. The greenery was pleasant but not especially striking, so couples may want to allocate additional budget toward florals and decor to elevate the space.
