I did not have to worry about a thing! She was reponsive in getting back if I asked for anything, she went out to look for props for me for different events, found the best deals she could, and most importantly followed up! She managed the bridal party so well - I was pleasantly suprised how good we were with the schedule on the big day. Me and husband were so glad we had the pleasure of working with Eliana!!!

He showed up as MC, did a good job there, photobooth (had to hound him for the photos), but almost 5 years later, I still don't have my video. The trailer he sent me over half a year after my wedding started decent but just seconds in, the rest was garbage. It was basically clips of everyone dancing at the reception. Thankfully, I was able to get the raw footage of my wedding after consistent hounding and threatening to file suit against him ..and (some of somebody else's wedding too) but to this day, I still don't have our video. Prior to all of this, I had also recommended Tony to two other friends for their upcoming wedding after mine - one hired him for video (she got screwed the same way I did) and the other hired him for MC and photobooth (MC service delivered, photobooth pictures were sent to her weeks after consistent hounding by her and ME) Stay away - there's so many better and reputable vendors for hire.

However, it is now 3 months after my wedding and I have finally gained the courage to come out and warn future brides and grooms. I was referred to Tony Chen (owner of Sky Creations) by my wedding studio since I did not know where to start when looking for a DJ/MC and figured they would know best since they have been to so many weddings. Being that I had been procrastinating, it was 4 months before my wedding and most DJ/MC services have been booked. I made my first appointment to meet Tony with my then-fiance but an hour before the scheduled time, he emails me and asks if we can push our appointment back at hour since he was "running behind." I had no problem with that since I'll just grab dinner beforehand then, no big deal. I show up at 7:30pm and he is still with another pair of clients. He then proceeds to shove us into a little office to give us a very brief summary of his services/packages and costs and then had us watch video clips of his performances to waste time while he goes back to meet with the other two clients. He clearly overbooked us. After what felt like a long time, he came back to the room and brought us out to watch the timeline planning process with his other clients since they were to be married in a week. Yeah, WTH. We left after a few minutes. That instance was unprofessional in my opinion but Tony reeks confidence and is a really good speaker so I secretly hoped that that was just a one time incident, since I really did not have many choices especially because I wanted someone who speaks a little Cantonese during the wedding for my family. I met with another company a few days later and it was a disaster, so I had to choose the less of two evils so to speak. I met with Tony again a week later (in which he was tardy AGAIN) and booked him to be my MC, his DJ services for my ceremony and reception, and photo booth. I even half-joked that he better not be late the day of the wedding, but I was truly fearful on the inside. Most of my communication with Tony thereafter were done via email and by uploading my requests onto a website he provided me. He is actually quite good with emails which is great. I had a final appointment with Tony a week before the wedding to go over my timeline and then two days before my appointment, he tried to cancel on me because he has a event that day and his photographer cannot work. Um, WTF! I made this appointment a month in advance to ensure everything is smooth and does he seriously expect my schedule to be free one week before my wedding?! I have other appointments! I went ballistic. I confronted him about it in email and even called him, but he did not pick up. Moments later, he emailed to say he is available again. Oh, and of course he was late to that appointment too. Is it terrible to say that the day of the wedding, I was actually surprised he showed up given his record with tardiness? It's sad but true. So everything was fine, I went down the aisle and all that to my music. But as my husband and I turned around for the recessional music to leave the alter, SILENCE... We waited and the silence continued. Awkward. Finally in what felt like a long time my requested song played... starting RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF A SENTENCE IN THE SONG! Like, "...ble melts like lemon drops. High above..." Mr. DJ, did you fall asleep? Could you not have at least started it in the beginning of a chorus or beginning of the song? THEN during the reception there was a terrible moment Tony made a surprise announcement that the bride and groom were going to sing for each other. I have no idea where that came from! I went along because I wanted to be a good sport but why on Earth would you do that out of nowhere? Little does he know I hate karaoke and I don't even do it when I am out with my friends let alone in front of nearly 180 guests?! A few weeks after the wedding, I was hanging out with my friends and I was told that my photo booth stopped printing out pictures during the reception. I was mortified. I requested for a partial refund from Tony but was denied because he said it was "only down for twenty minutes." Even if that was the case (which I clearly do not know because I did not have a timer), it was during the prime time when people were enjoying it. Not to mention the pictures were printed out in 2x2's rather than as a strip which I had requested. I then realized I never received my glow sticks which were in my contract as well! Tony then just ignored my emails even though he had always been good with them in the past. I just gave up. It is a lost cause and too stressful. That all being said, Tony does get the crowd very involved and is a ball of fire. High energy, a great speaker, good at improvising and making things happen when needed. The choice is up to you, but I cannot whole-heartedly recommend him.

I have time today…read more Just so you know now before you read the whole review, WE LET HER GO and lost our 50% deposit. I will post some screens just so you can see what the conversation was like. I was very straight forward with her and when I had my now husband to fire her, she told him she didn't know I was upset. When we actually fired her, she left a nonchalant voicemail and text with no formal apology. We booked our wedding venue in January 5, 2019 and I was going back and forth if I wanted to hire her full service. We chose her A La Carte event designing and gave her 50% deposit on February 20, 2019. ORGANIZATION & COMMUNICATION: The first thing I noticed was she was disorganized and I did not feel like she valued our business. I observed our meetings that she didn't write clear notes on my vision. I noticed myself always initiating a follow-up for everything. For example, I needed to know a quote for a design idea and I gave her extra time to get a quote but I had to wait for a long long time. All we did was wait for her! So much so that it was 3 months to the wedding and NOTHING was done. She won't VOLUNTARILY communicate what it was that was prohibiting her from following-up with us. She would always use the excuse that she was getting too many messages from other brides and my message got lost. Yes, something personal did happen in her life and I understood that but as a business woman myself, I would have sent a formal email to ALL CLIENTS letting them know what is happening. We didn't feel like she conducted her business communications well, especially after forking a 50% deposit early on. RESOURCEFULNESS & CREATIVITY She definitely was not the most resourceful when it comes to ideas and didn't negotiate prices. All the quotes were out of this world ridiculous. I initially wanted to fill the place with white balloons, that was gonna either cost 12K, 10K or 9K. Then we wanted streamers on the walls and ceilings which will costs 25K. Me and my husband are artists and we needed someone to think outside the box. She is not that type of planner. She was not after my heart when it comes to my vision and decoration ideas. She didn't pay attention to what I've said REPEATEDLY. I told her I didn't want flowers anywhere and no table runners and no girly, frilly things. She tried to fit us in the COMMON BRIDAL BOX time and time again to do what she's done over and over again and it was absolutely frustrating repeating myself. I was VERY CLEAR from the beginning, we didn't want the basic and common wedding ideas and I urged her to think outside the box. I figured if she was proud to be creative, she can handle it..... clearly, no. WHAT WE ENDED UP DOING My husband, friends and family, especially my mom, did ALL of the decorations. It was stressful but I would rather do that than continue working with her. We didn't care about the deposit because she was stressing me out because of her lack of just basic business skills. Who knows, all these might be a business strategy so we can hire her for full service but if I can't even get a text back..... Feel free to send me a message to further explain any details. This review if a short summary.

It was confirmed that we had chosen the right person when we got to Jamaica 6 months before our wedding and she had set up a perfectly curated list of vendor meetings from thousands of miles away. Throughout the entire process she was organized, thoughtful, attentive and very flexible. She went above and beyond and we definitely could have done it without her. She dealt with all of the vendors, language barriers, family and logistic issues with grace. Not to mention she was extremely pleasant to be around. We felt like we were planning our wedding with a friend. In short she made the experience of planning our wedding really enjoyable. The day of the actual wedding day went perfect and she completely shielded us from all the craziness that happens on that day so our families and us could completely focus on this celebration of our love. Thank you again Teissia, you are INCREDIBLE.
