Hire 4EverYoungEvents & Fine Linen Creations if you want to foot the bill for their event!…read more I have been planning and running events with the companies that I have worked at for over 15 years. Because the Holiday Cocktail Party that my company was planning was for over 1000 people we decided that it would be best to hire an Event Planner to execute our vision and plan. When we were referred to Young, I took a look at her Yelp reviews and was so excited to see and read about all of the personal touches and unique designs that she brought to her events. However, when we did a walk-through of our space and sat down to talk with Young, her team, and her vendor, Fine Linen Creations (http://www.yelp.com/biz/fine-linen-creations-san-jose-2), I began to become a bit concerned. Young and her vendor kept pushing fresh cut bouquets and an exorbitant amount of draping. We were very very very clear on a multitude of occasions that we did NOT WANT all fresh cut flowers at $75/piece. We found them to be a waste of money as well as just a waste in general because they are disposable. We discussed that since we would have over 60 tables, that we should do flowers on some tables and on the other tables do some Poinsettias, festive branches, ornaments, etc. These items would add uniqueness as well as extreme cost savings, to which one of her assistants rolled her eyes at me. We expressed extreme concern that we did not want to spend our budget on a ton of draping and chair covers and we were looking for a very fun festive Holiday feel and that we did not want it to be stuffy, formal, or wedding-like. We offered up a lot of specific ideas on decor, layout, etc. We clarified that we wanted to have decor in the foyer as well as on the patio, which had views that were absolutely gorgeous. We signed off on the floor-plans and details prior to our event. But then, on the night of our party, we show up and walk in to a Foyer without the decor we discussed and look out on to a patio with no decorations (both wasted opportunities). As I walked through the floor to ceiling draping I entered a room with 60+ tables all adorned with huge floral bouquets and RED ROSE PETALS sprinkled around them, Pretty...FOR A WEDDING OR A PROM! The layout was not as we had agreed upon nor did they execute the ideas that we were very specific about. The venue removed our food 1 1/2 hours after our event started which left everyone 3 more hours of a party where they were drinking with no food available. If this was the venue's decision, it should have been addressed immediately by Young and her Team. We were the clients, paying her a ton of money, and our needs and wishes were, for the most part, ignored.

Jax Party is amazing! I found their business by doing a Yelp search and reading all of their…read moreawesome reviews. I contacted them for my son's birthday party that was minions themed and Lisa was very responsive to my inquiry and prompt to answer all of my questions. We decided to go with Lisa and we are glad we did. I sent Lisa a photo of my vision and she delivered on the Arch and center pieces for our picnic birthday party. Communication was great leading up to our event and on the actual day of my party, Lisa was on time and worked efficiently to get the balloons setup for the birthday before our scheduled start time. Lisa and her partner were very kind and pleasant to work with. When they came to pick up the balloons after the event, she made take down look so easy and there was no mess since all balloons were popped into a garbage bag. Lisa even gave some of he balloons away to kids who were asking for them. Overall, I am very happy and impressed with the service provided and will definitely use Jax party for all of my future events.

I'm back with another review for Jax Party!…read more Lisa did the balloons for my son's first bday, and I had her come and setup balloons for his second bday. She was responsive via email, patient, kind, and professional. She used my inspiration photos and nailed what I had in mind. I wanted a race car theme, but I didn't want the standard red, black, and yellow colors. I used a color scheme that matched the interior of my home. Lisa showed up on time the day of, and she got the balloons setup in under an hour. She set them up on Saturday, May 27 and I just now took them down on Monday, June 5! Technically, they still have lots of life left! I was pleased with the results, and I will continue to give Lisa my business.

Constance can do this in her sleep but she should watch out not to fall asleep at the wheel…read more We liked her right away because her website said "everything but a wedding" and this is exactly what we wanted our wedding to be. She understood right away. The vision match was there and she contributed lots of great ideas, in particular around entertainment and decor. Our wedding was a big success. She could have done better by not leaving everything to the last minute or so it seemed. I was losing sleep way too often because nothing was pinned down and I had to deal with too many "we're fine, don't you worry"'s. Bottom line I don't feel we got enough choices of vendors from her and some of the execution on the day-of was shaky. However I would also say that it wouldn't have happened without her. The decor was terrific and she helped us set up top notch Cirque-du-Soleil type entertainment. Admittedly my husband and I get perhaps a bit too involved. I think she is truly perfect when people just hand over to her a project with a vision match, a comfortable budget and let her roll with it. Since we are not planning to have a wedding every year and that we were trying to do a lot within our budget, it required more management than she might have been used to.
