    Highly, highly recommend…read more Alena was such a great contribution to our planning and execution of our wonderful wedding day. We are so grateful for her professionalism and experience, as she organized all of the vendors and kept our wedding on a timeline. Not only is she a great wedding planner, but she genuinely was excited for us and shared in our love and joy for the months leading up to our event. It is obvious how much Alena loves her job. I hope she is able to continue to grow her business and share her skills with many more couples for years and years to come. Thank you Alena!!!!

    Alena is extraordinary. Absolutely top notch - she is a total cut above the rest! I run anxious and…read moreI was incredibly worried about everything going well (after having lost my first wedding venue in California and needing to put together a totally new wedding in NM in 5 months, I was especially concerned). Since I live in CA, I was working with Alena remotely, which could have caused problems with someone less capable. No problems at all with Alena, her work was A+. Not only was I able to 100% trust Alena with all of my worries and details, but she went above and beyond in every way during my wedding in Santa Fe in August. She will have every detail that is important to you in her brain day of, and make sure that it happens precisely as you want it to happen. She will solve problems before they even get to you. She will be a shepherd to you and your spouse on your big day - not pushy, but not a pushover. There in exactly the way you need her. She knows her craft, and she executes like the expert she is. She is worth every single penny and more. She has a calming, but kickass presence that will complement you in whatever way your personality type needs. Her organizational skills and professional demeanor truly impressed us during the whole lead up to the wedding and the day of. She managed all of our vendors with elegance, but a get-it-done attitude as well, and they had great things to say about her to us as well. I wish I lived in New Mexico so I could work with Alena on more events. She is unbelievable. Hiring her was the best decision of our entire wedding - and my husband and I say that every time we reminisce about our big day. She made it even better than I imagined...which I did not think was possible!!

The carne asada fries are fresh cut fries bathed in Chile con queso and their special sauce topped with carne asada, lettuce, tomatoes, and of course queso fresco. It is a large portion so bring your appetite or share with your partner. This is our first time here and I was very impressed and can't wait to go back to taste more of their delicious food.

    The El Vado plaza chowdown paseo just keeps delivering on the flavor front…read more Today's hit was a stagger to the left one door upon exiting Heavenly Taste Cakery and landing in the premises of Street Food Sensations, which is right next door to the sweetery shop. Seems this Sensational eatery used to be a bus but lost it's wheels and is now permanently parked in the #2 spot just off Central Ave on the sunny El Vado open air patio/plaza. Bein' a fool for a Cubano sandwich, I succumbed to the moral obligation to order these friendly folks' Spicy Cubano version with parmesan & truffle chips on the side. When I got home & opened the to-go box I was duly impressed at the generous size of the sandwich. The handful of homemade lookin' chips was adequate at filling its corner of the container. From the first bite, the spicy aspect was not inside the sandwich. While well flavored, the Scoville scale on that sammie was on the low end of heat, particularly for the Burqueño crowd. However, the large'ish pepperoncini spiked to the top of the sandwich was the nuclear blast bringin' a little scorched earth policy to the party. We're talking nasal clearing, eye watering, tongue shrivelling, throat chokin' thermal overload. It was so good!! The flat bread on the sammie was chewy & sturdy enough to corral the layers of beef, ham, cheese, and pickles without degradation or deteriorating. The red chile mayo was super sparse, to the point of almost non-existent, and left me wanting for more to jack up the heat a bit. The beef was okay to good, being subtly spiced which let the umami taste shine through. Ham was of the water added variety so offered decent texture & moistness to the filling. But the smoke note in the mix was a soft one, not intense with the acrid attack often found in dry cure hams. Pickles were okay to good. Cheese was likewise okay to good, though not as spicy as I would hope for from a pepper jack cheese. The parmesan & truffle fries were of the sturdy sort. The good news being that they were surprisingly non-greasy in spite of being mottled in a pinto pony pattern of oil saturated patches across their surfaces. My fingers remained delightfully free of napkin dabbing while devouring the chips. The bad news being that they tasted like pretty much standard home made potato chips found everywhere. I didn't pick up the parmesan funkiness or pungency on them at all. So the chips were sort of a 3 star affair & just okay being crunchy, fried, salty enough without overdoing it, and not greasy. With the Cubano & chips being about a 3.5 star situation, it's the friendly cashier lady & cook who make Street Food Sensations a solid 4 star affair. I found them to be friendly and welcoming and fun. So kudos to the staff for being a bright addition to the sunny atmosphere of the El Vado eating scene.

    After being recommended Shelby by friends, contracting with her was the first (and best) decision…read morewe made for planning our wedding. We ended up going with her Month Of Plus+ package. She shared planning timelines for us for the year leading up to our wedding, which were so helpful! Following her checklists made planning on our end so simple. Her vendor recommendations were flawless, as well. Once we hit the 8 week mark, she completely took over. She always referred to us for final decisions, but contacted all of our vendors and arranged everything perfectly. Shelby did everything in her power to keep us as least stressed as possible. On our big day, everything was seamless and so organized. We received so many compliments on how the day flowed so well and on the lack of hiccups. All of this was thanks to Shelby! She is a true master event planner. She is professional, but also warm and funny and kind. She had every minute detail accounted for, and our wedding day was perfect as a result. I am SO glad we hired Shelby to help plan our wedding. I will be forever grateful to her for helping us have the best day ever!

    Shelby and her team are fantastic! There are so many details, especially the last couple of days…read moreprior to the wedding, it's nerve-racking to think of all the things we would have missed if Shelby had not been our daughter's wedding coordinator. She thought of things we never would have even considered. She was right there whenever we needed her, she and her team took care of everything, flawlessly. She always answered her emails, even after the wedding. They worked seamlessly with the venue and were our trusted source of information. I'll have to think up another event some day and ask her to handle it, too. Thanks, Shelby, you're the best!! Marcie Jordan
