The Snap Booth

"Since our baby shower we've used them several times for my sons birthday parties , I was extremely disappointed they weren't available for our wedding renewals. Just be ready Brian for Killian 5th birthday in September"

Palace Party Rental

★★★★☆ 3.8 (44)

"I think this might be the third year in a row that I've rented tables and chairs from this place. Yeah, it looks like a mess in there but they couldn't be nicer people and the rentals are exactly what I need. Decent price, always answer my call and are always helpful."

The Eligon Venue & Social Collective

★★★★★ 5 (4)

"Highly recommended venue for all your event types! Alma is great to work with, and helps ease your mind when it comes to planning an event! I had a small birthday party here and my guest commented on how beautiful, elegant and clean this venue is! Everything from the decorations to the great service provided by Alma, the bartender, waitress and the security guards. Every single person was great and very serviceable!! Thank you all for all your hard work! I greatly appreciate it!"

Dream Co. Weddings & Events

★★★★★ 4.7 (14)

"We had the pleasure of working together with Chelsea from WEME We just had to write and say what a pleasure it was. We own an entertainment company that does about 300 events per year and we run into coordinators all the time. Chelsea has been one of the most communicative and organized coordinators we have ever had the pleasure of working together. Prior, during, and even after the event she completely keeps us in the loop of what's happening what the client wants and how we can deliver it together! If you're in the market for a wedding coordinator and planner you have got to call this company!! They are hands-down one of the best we've ever worked with! Thanks Chelsea, are you being so great at your job enables us to do our best job!!!"

AV CASINO NIGHTS

★☆☆☆☆ 1 (1)

"Please do not waste your time or money with this company! They cancelled the day before a New Year's eve event and left the host without any time to find another company or filler rental. They were paid in full for the rental and dealer but still have not provided a refund. Scammer business people! BEWARE!"

Painted Monkeys and Company

★★★★★ 5 (25)

"Blown away is an understatement. When many mommies in the area recommended this company, I had high expectations. Out of the blue, the owner herself contacts me through social media and BAM! It's a done deal. Elsa herself is coming to my daughters birthday party. When she showed up, all the kids went crazy. Now, I've been to my good share of birthday parties to which a character of some sort shows up. The kids enjoy it and the adults take the opportunity to mingle and adult for a while. What we didn't expect, is for Elsa to start singing and catch the attention of all the adults as well! The room went quiet. 80 guests and not a peep. What a voice!!! Please, look no further, when we are all allowed to celebrate and have a social life again, call this company and boom Nicole for your party. You will NOT be disappointed."

J & M Events

★★★★★ 5 (8)

"I'm writing this review not only as a Client Bride but also as a Venue Partner. I'm the Director at The Majestic Downtown, which is one of the top Wedding Venues in LA. I was introduced to J&M a few years ago while working together for a previous client's event. I was blown away by George's dedication to his clients and the impeccable quality of his work. Since then J&M has been our preferred AV company for countless happy clients. I meticulously sought after J&M Events when I was planning my own wedding and let me tell you...THEY GAVE ME A DREAM WEDDING!There's no words to express how incredibly happy my husband and I are and how grateful we are that we had J&M, George, Nick, and the entire team from the Lighting Tech to the Audio Tech that was on-site during my wedding. I can go on and on about what made our special day so PERFECT because there's endless reasons why. George and his Team really understood my vision for the lighting and executed flawlessly. The centerpieces looked magical with the pin spots illuminating them. The historical architecture of the venue was the perfect shade of white. When it turned into a dance party later in the evening the uplights changed different colors and strobed like a music festival to the beat of the music thanks to Nick! My guests were in absolute awe! The audio was also perfect especially considering working in a 20,000 sqft historical venue with 35ft tall ceilings and marble everywhere. We had 2 different DJs and very specific timing for the music, speeches, etc. They made sure everything was tested and perfect before guests arrived and for that I'm truly grateful. THANK YOU J&M!They went above and beyond to make sure my day was beautiful, memorable, perfect, and FUN! If you're in search for an AV Company, do yourself a favor and HIRE J&M EVENTS! You will not regret it because they are simply THE BEST."

Hop Skip & A Jump

★★★★★ 5 (4)

"I rented a jumper, tables and chairs, from the very first phone call I recieved the utmost professionalism and details regarding pricing and information. The date was set and delivery was prompt and equipment was very clean and set up was a breeze. When it was time to reclaim they were also on time and quick. I would highly reccomend Hop,Skip and a jump!Thank you and we will definitely use your business again!"

A.S. Gourmet Catering

★★★★★ 5 (33)

"Long and overdue review. Armando cater for my wedding and everything was beyond perfect and yummy! I know I was starving, but all my guests were beyond impressed and satisfied by the food selection. We had a charcuterie section, and while I did not see it, EVERYONE said it was delicious. Even my dad, who is a very picky eater. For me it was more than the food, it was the Armando's accessibility to answer all my concerns and even the day off the event he is a great decision maker. I'm beyond thankful that that I've found him for our special day. I hope I'm the future I can can continue to work with him!"

Mastered in Pieces

★★★★★ 5 (1)

"Nakia , owner of Mastered in Pieces coordinated my summer wedding this year. I had roughly 6 months to plan everything and with the help of Nakia's coordinating services, was able to pull it off. Her team of vendors are all top notch and they really helped to make my day memorable. Mastered in Pieces spearheaded all communications with my venue, which alleviated a lot of stress from this bride, who spent most of the 6 months out of state!I highly recommend this company for your event planning needs."

Touch of Gray Event Rentals & Design

★★★★★ 5 (4)

"I highly recommend this rental company! They have the best prices in scv and made the entire process super easy. Drop off and pick up went smoothly and it took so much pressure off of this part of our event planning. I will definitely use them again in the future. Thank you!!"

The W Event Planning

★★★★★ 4.7 (13)

"Laura and Nicole did an amazing job helping us plan and coordinate our wedding. They are very creative, understanding and bounce ideas off each other. Trust me 2 is always better than 1 when it comes to wedding planning. Our wedding ceremony was in Newport Beach and Nicole coordinated that portion, while Laura was at our backyard venue coordinating and getting everything ready for our reception. We highly recommend hiring them. You will not be disappointed."

P&M Party Rentals

★★☆☆☆ 2 (30)

"Was looking to rent a water slide for 4th of July about a week before the 4th. I contacted a few different companies and everything was booked. Contacted P&M (after some hesitation of the reviews)and Marvin got right back to me and said he could fulfill my request.They delivered the slide with bounce house attached (you can imagine how excited my grandson was) the day before the 4th. Was impressed with the service. Had a blast. We actually are thinking of renting again and will definitely use P&M again"

Secret Oasis Venue

★★★★★ 5 (1)

"I truly want to express our family's absolute gratitude for all the hard work and dedication you put into making your business shine brightly. Your venue not only provides exceptional service, an atmosphere beyond imagination and the best view imaginable. Every bit of our event was flawless and allowed us to enjoy ourselves. From our initial meeting with you and through the entire process could not have gone any smoother.. we absolutely will be working with you with future events in our future.. you rock and we recommend you, your team and your business. Thank you so much"

Younger Gardens

★★★★☆ 4 (4)

"Bakersfield's best kept secret! I feel incredibly lucky to have found this hidden gem for our wedding last weekend. The venue itself is absolutely gorgeous! We received dozens of compliments from our guests. Our photographer got hundreds of amazing photos thanks to the beautiful landscape and carefully laid out decor. We booked a year in advance and the process was so simple leading up to our wedding. The owners were fantastic to work with. Extremely kind, helpful and communicative to make planning a breeze. I was also stunned that the price was so affordable compared to every other wedding venue I looked at. I would highly recommend booking for an event here asap. I can almost guarantee that in a year from now, it will be impossible to get into! Thank you Younger Gardens for giving us the perfect place to hold the most important day in our lives that we'll never forget!"

SB Paradise Music

★★★★★ 5 (11)

"Our wedding day was a blast thanks to Rich and his Photobooth team! Rich was super helpful from the very beginning of our DJ planning process. We were able to choose what songs we wanted and didn't want on the day of our wedding through the online portal. It made everything super easy! Rich met with us before our wedding day to finalize and songs and the timeline of our song choices. My now husband had some unique remix songs, which Rich was able to accommodate for us. Rich was very excited and energetic throughout the process which made our experience even better! We are so glad we decided to add on a photobooth for our wedding. The kids and the rest of our guests had a blast with the props and loved making silly faces! We really liked that the girl working the photobooth (sorry I forgot her name) kept the prop table clean and organized. She was such a good sport with our crazy family!Thank you, Rich and his team for making our day unforgettable!"

Orange Blossom Special Events

★★★★★ 4.9 (150)

"This is a long overdue review for Orange Blossom Special Events! My husband and I just celebrated our two-year anniversary, which got me reminiscing about our wedding day. As tacky and cliched as it sounds, I really wish I could re-live it because it was honestly one of the best days of my life! If you're a bride looking for an event coordinator, look no further! OBSE was one of the recommended vendors for my venue, Smogshoppe. I reached out to the list of recommended wedding coordinators and was contacted by Janna... and she and I just clicked! Janna is sweet, thoughtful, creative, smart, and organized. From start to finish, she felt like a dear friend helping me navigate the stressful world of wedding planning. She has a calm disposition and positive attitude, and was so easy to talk to. I felt like she made wedding planning much more enjoyable and I've always looked forward to catching up with her.On my wedding day, I didn't have to worry about a single thing and felt like a queen. Janna and two other assistants were there and they did an amazing job setting everything up and had really great ideas and added some finishing touches. It's just an indescribable feeling to see all the decorations and flowers all set up. As another reviewer has mentioned, friends and family always tell me the day won't usually go as planned... but everything went SO smoothly! Either that, any issues that came up weren't brought to my attention and fixed immediately! hahaIn the end, you should pick a coordinator you really get along with. I'm so lucky to have met Janna! She really goes above and beyond her duties and she has just the right personality for an event coordinator - she's not too pushy, but knows how to be proactive. I can't express enough how much I really appreciate OBSE and Janna! Thank you so much!"

Trightymite Event Lighting & Decor

★★★★★ 4.9 (36)

"Is it possible to give Dan 5*1000 stars? Decoration and styling presented one of the biggest challenges leading up to our backyard wedding reception, as we both did not have a clear vision as to what we wanted even after talking to multiple decorators and doing research/homework on looks. We were referred to Dan by AV Party Rentals because we originally thought we needed extensive pipe and drape for our wedding decoration. Dan organized our thoughts into a coherent vision and beautiful look for our backyard space. To say that Dan was pivotal is an understatement. He took initiative in ways that answered questions we didn't even know we had and communicated clearly and in a timely manner. He made us feel genuinely cared for as a couple going through the process of planning a wedding. Dan is passionate about giving clients the benefit of his experience and design eye. In our case, that meant pursuing less expensive/profitable options than we'd originally expected. He guided us to other high quality vendors even when he didn't stand to gain financially.TL;DR: Dan's the man!"

Special Event Proz One - Stop Event Shop

★★★★★ 4.9 (113)

"WOW! Is all I have to say about Michael and this company. I inquired about a quote for a Dee Jay for my birthday party and sent a request through their site. Shortly after, Michael called me and we talked about my party and what I was looking for. I saw on the site, they also offer Photobooths so I asked if it was possible to make a slight change to the photobooth and personalize it a bit for my party and sure enough, they were able to accommodate!I booked a DeeJay and Photobooth package. I got directed to their client login site (awesome) and I was able to include music, change and edit the timeline and add special requests of music. That client site made it so easy to plan my party the way I wanted it to be. DJ Cali was my DJ, she showed up looking gorgeous for my fancy birthday and she was ready to hype up the party as needed. All the music I had asked for were played and during our special dance...the Dancing on Clouds added such an emotional touch to our heartfelt song. It was BEYOND BEAUTIFUL! Professional, Communicative, Efficient and Wonderful would be the best words to describe what you are paying for when You decide to book them for an event. It isn't always easy to come by, but when you have an opportunity to work with good people, you just do! I'm very happy with the way everything turned out. Thank You Michael, DJ Cali and entire staff who helped! You guys Rock!"

My Party Production

★★★★★ 5 (61)

"We hired Michal after she had thrown an amazing Moroccan-themed party for my aunt a few years ago. My aunt and uncle wanted to throw us an engagement party and Michal was the perfect planner to do so. From the beginning, I had envisioned an elegant night with touches of rustic to it and my vision truly came to life. Michal was involved in every step of the process from picking out the caterer and scheduling tastings to organizing rentals, staff, flowers, decor, etc. The weekend of our party was going to be cold but not expected to rain, so Michal suggested adding more drapery to cover the top of our dinner/dancing area and I am SO GLAD she suggested it! The night of our party, it started to sprinkle and Michal and Yosi quickly were able to help save the night by running out to get umbrellas. Had the dining/dancing area not been covered, our guests would've been uncomfortable and cold. Overall our party was an unforgettable event and I am so thankful that Michal and Yosi were there to make sure everything went smoothly. Our guests had an amazing time and one that they'll never forget. Thank you Michal and Yosi!"

Oasis Banquet Hall

★★★★☆ 4 (4)

"From the outside this place looks like today dive bar. They can do a little bit more to live in the place up so it looks more like a Hall. I was there last weekend for a quinceanera and had a great time."

Truly Beautiful Events

★★★★★ 5 (3)

"I hired Neeru and Truly Beautiful Events to help out with event day management for my daughter's Arangetram so that I wouldn't have to be in event planner mode on my daughter's special day. Even though I needed her just for day off-- she inserted herself into my event plans in advance of the day. She went with me to finalize decor, and took all the vendors contact info from me so she could reach out directly and introduce herself to them as their main point of contact on that day. She kept in constant contact with me in advance -- and then, on the day off - she mostly left me alone to enjoy myself with friends and family and be immersed this special day for our family. She even went so far as to bring some décor from home as a backup and we ended up needing it. She didn't charge me anything extra for that. What I appreciated most was how she basically looked and behaved like a family member and not a hired event planner. She was personally vested in the success of the event. She was responsible for releasing the tables a few at a time for dinner so as to avoid long buffet lines and consistently I heard from my guests after the fact that they thought she was part of my family. She was the last person to leave that night after she saw to everyone's departure and ensured that the venue was the way we found it -- clean. I can't recommend Neeru and Truly Beautiful Events enough."

The Party Matters

★★★★★ 5 (2)

"The black luxury bouncer was a big hit!! I booked it for my daughter's graduation party. Great bouncer! Good price!! Great service!! They even allowed me to use it an additional hour and a half. I definitely will be using this company for my next event!"

Command Performance Catering

★★★★★ 4.8 (170)

"We worked with Manuel and the CP Team to cater my Mom's Celebration of Life in early February 2024. The CP Team had a wide and vast menu of salads, sandwiches, and desserts for this event, where we estimated about 50-60 people were there. CP is the official caterer of my church, Padre Serra Parish, and they are aware of all of the rules, regulations, and respect our parish. The food was delicious; the staff was professional, courteous, and thorough, and they decorated amazingly, for the memorial lunch."

Summerset Events

★★★★★ 4.6 (9)

"I've worked with a lot of event planners as a vendor and my experience with Summerset is always top notch! They are organized, relatable, welcoming, and kind. The mood boards they provide help vendors create a cohesive look while still giving us creative freedom to make something magical."

Catering with Noel

★★☆☆☆ 2.3 (6)

"The best Carnitas ever! 10/10 Definitely recommend booking with Catering with Noel for family parties and work events. Delicious and authentic tacos! Not to mention great salsas and agua fresca. Will be booking soon!"

One Darling Day

★★★★★ 4.9 (97)

"Let me guess... You're looking for a wedding planner and you don't know who to choose? You're looking for just a "Day of Coordinator" and nothing else? Well friends, rest assure I got you... Let me give you the skinny on why I think Claudia at One Darling Day is your gal for your wedding. Like a lot of couples who are about to get married, we were a bit stressed, overwhelmed, and overly lost about what to do or who to choose. A lot of my friends don't have the luxury of choosing their own coordinator cause their venue provides their own coordinator. (It's like getting a court-ordered attorney who is there but doesn't really want to be there)..... Would you rather pay for your own attorney/coordinator who has who has your best interest as opposed to one who there just because? (If you're hell bent on a venue and they provide their own coordinator, then I'm sorry you're shit out of luck... Haha) The best thing about choosing your own wedding coordinator is you're in the driver's seat. The ball is in your court. The worst thing I could imagine is getting stuck with a shitty coordinator cause it came with a venue. Yet, that happens to a lot of my friends and people you know who on the day of the wedding, the coordinator just disappears and is nowhere to be found. This is your wedding. You should be in control of all aspects and the coordinator is no exception! We originally had gone with another coordinator but in the end we ended up axeing the other coordinator cause I'm about trusting my instincts and my gut and it was telling me to go with Claudia. We are super glad we did...We had a few initial meetings with Claudia at a nearby coffee shop to go over details and wedding rehearsal/timeline. She took detailed notes and is responsive to e-mail correspondence. She heard our suggestions and offered her own ideas but in the end she was respectful of our vision and aided us which is key.... She coordinated with the vendors, the venue, ran the rehearsal, and offered suggestions on the rehearsal dinner as well. She was extremely hands on which is the type of person you want working for you when it comes to your wedding. My super hyper critical unimpressed and usually overbearing parents were extremely impressed with Claudia as well and had nothing but nice things to say about her as well. Word to the wise: Choose a coordinator you trust and will know that will have your back on the day of your wedding. Claudia is seasoned and well under pressure and takes your suggestions to heart. There was never a time where we thought she was doing a sloppy 1/2 ass job. She was there from the start of when the venue opened and was one of the last ones to leave the venue at the end of hte night. I always judge a person on what they do not what they say and in that regard Claudia delivered as promised! Big ups to Claudia and her team for making our wedding run smoothly...J to the Y x 2"

Etiquette LA Events & Staffing

★★★★★ 5 (5)

"I highly recommend EtiquetteLA for any event. Everything is done in a timely and professional manner. Susie is like the fairy godmother of events, from the venue to the last little details that you would never thinking about, she does with perfection. For your next event let EtiquetteLA take the lead. You won't regret it :)"

Rachel J Special Events

★★★★★ 5 (3)

"Anytime you have an event to plan you know there's so much stress involved in wanting everything to be perfect just as in your mind. Well Rachel is the one to completely put all your trust in when you need an event planner. She goes above and beyond in making your dreams into reality. She helped plan my baby's first birthday and Christening and made me feel stress free with the whole thing. Not only did I love love the outcome, my guests couldn't stop talking about how beautiful the whole set up was. She put so much detail into everything. Everything came out better then I had imagined. I can't thank you enough Rachel for making my baby's party better then I imagined!"

Cascade Events

★★★★★ 5 (3)

"Marina is amazing! I couldn't have asked for a better 1st birthday for my daughter! From start to finish, Marina was outstanding in her organization skills and event planning skills! I had no doubt that she would do an amazing job! She is reliable, punctual, detail oriented , with great taste, and customer service is top notch.. I would def recommend Cascade to everyone!!!! Thank you for everything!!!!"

Battlefield LIVE Bakersfield

★★★★★ 5 (3)

"We used their service for our son's 10th birthday. They called and were informative in the scheduling over the phone. They arrived on time. They had plenty of helpers setting up- so I literally didn't have to do a thing to help. This was very enjoyable for me, having one less thing to worry about for the party. The owner was very friendly, and he had some younger fellas stay for the event itself after set up was complete. They played with the kids the entire time slot we rented, which was also such a luxury for me. They were borderline babysitters with all the young kids running around with them. It was such a stress reliever because it's so hard to entertain guests AND keep and eye on all the kids at the same time. If you're a tired mom I recommend this service- the kids loved it, for what I paid and what service we got it was worth it, I didn't have to do a thing for it, and it came with a couple "babysitters". Can't beat that. The kids loved it."

Rustic Yard Events

★★★★★ 4.8 (52)

"A week before our wedding, we saw rain in the forecast, even worse, it was going to be a pretty bad storm & our venue was an outside venue. We found Rustic Yard on Yelp and reached out to obtain quotes. To be honest, I reached out a few different times as I wasn't sure what to rent (heaters, tent, sizing, etc.). This was the last thing I wanted to deal with before the wedding but Carlos made the experience so seamless. He was patient, understanding and direct. We rented a clear tent with patio lights and chandeliers that made our event magical. They set up the tents, dropped off the heaters and furniture the day before the wedding, in the rain and still did it with a smile. They were professional through the entire process. They provided amazing and reliable service at a great price. Carlos, thank you from the bottom of our hearts, to you and your team, you saved our wedding."
