This house was great for our family of 24. We are a near even mix of adults and kids and there was…read moreroom and space for all of us. The huge kitchen table was great. I can't remember the last time we all sat down for a meal together. The outdoor space was relaxing. The addition of a new blackstone griddle in the back made cooking up big breakfasts fast and easy. The proximity to the beach made trips back and forth to from the house to take a toddler to the bathroom, fix lunch, or run back to grab something quick made for a stress free week. The hosts were incredibly accommodating even though we hardly ever saw them. I would stay there again in a heartbeat.

Our family reunion vacation week for our mother's 80th Birthday at Tom and Mary Ann's house was…read morenothing short of fantastic! The weather was great..even with the complimentary downpour day to let the skin come off sizzle mode..just perfect. We were a large family group... family coming in from NY, NM, Ca and Germany. We pushed the limits in space but with the backyard patio area, rooftop hot tub soaking deck (special accolades to that), the ocean so close and so many places you could walk, bike, paddle to we never at all came to in your face situations... which we all know with family is usually inevitable. We wanted to do something special for our Mom (Omi) for her birthday so we took Mary Ann and Tom's referral and hired the caterer that they suggested... we did a luau theme and they came to the house with the pig roast complete with Hawaiian veges and salads. I for one was amazed that we actually surprised her but I do believe we really pulled it off. We were initially hesitant to rent because of landowners sharing the same house..but we started our search late and there weren't many options to accommodate our large group so we took the chance. Couldn't have been any farther from the fears we had to reality. Always friendly and helpful.. never intrusive or controlling. By the time we left it felt like we were leaving old friends.... the hot donuts Mary Ann brought us from an old time LBI donut shop, the morning before we left sealed the deal! Our family grew up summers in LBI..staying with friends that owned and/or our family renting for weeks at a time. I think I can speak for our family in saying we came home that week. A wonderful magical place in our memories. Lucky me got to share it with my granddaughter while my Mom (Omi) is still with us and oh so big a center of our family. 4 generations of LBI addicts.... what better place to enjoy family!

It was such a pleasure to work with a company as professional and reliable as this one…read more I secured Versatile Entertainment to provide outdoor DJ services at a political rally in Trenton, NJ this October. I provided them with the details of the event, and Versatile came through. Based on our needs, Ozzy recommended what equipment would be able to handle the venue, as well as the crowd we were expecting. Our DJ was in contact with us by phone that morning to let us know he was on his way, showed up at the requested time with every bit of promised equipment. He was flexible and professional when faced with the challenge of working side by side with another vendor for a video presentation at the last minute and integrated their systems to work together seamlessly. My experience with Versatile Entertainment couldn't have been more positive and I would refer them to anyone I know looking for a professional, reliable and experienced DJ.

Well the big day finally came and everything they promised my daughter came true. Our MC/DJ was Ozzy and he really knew how to make our guests get up and dance. We also hired the Videographer and photo booth. We're looking forward to seeing the video. I'll post a follow up. Very trustworthy company. We were very happy with them and highly recommend them!

We all gathered together and at 3pm I called to confirm and Sarah informed me she was broken down and would not make it. If I would've never called her I wouldn't know she was never showing.

I would hate for someone else to go through this experience and I hope my review will save someone else the heartbreak.

Matt brought everything- plates, glasses, all the food and spices and everything he needed to make a fantastic meal for all four of us. He showed up on time, and cleaned everything after he was finished cooking. Not only did he make four creative, savory courses, the food was just as aesthetically pleasing. I've since booked him for another event and can't wait to have him back. Chef Matt Collins is a skilled and entertaining chef.

I truly cannot recommend Jennifer Tolento Events enough to help plan a wedding or event. Jennifer…read morewent above and beyond what was expected to make my wedding day special. She was not only professional, she was attentive, organized, and extremely knowledgeable about the entire process. From the beginning of the planning process to the end of my wedding, Jennifer made sure everything ran smoothly. She was always available to talk, or even meet, if I had a question or needed to go over something in the stressful months before. I was honestly put at ease knowing Jennifer was there taking care of anything, and everything, that came up. From the timeline for the ceremony and reception, to the organization of all the vendors, wedding party, and venue setup, Jennifer's attention to detail allowed me to relax and actually enjoy the day.
