sylvials's reviews

Priscilla was the key to my wedding's success! We had a unique venue (a private estate with five different "areas") and she was in charge of herding guests from our ceremony to the cocktail hour to the dinner reception to the dancing area, which were all in different areas. She was not only a vital part of the day-of, but she was also really helpful weeks before, always available and responsive over email, phone, and text! She was organized, detail-oriented, and kept me very calm on my special day. I would hire again in a second. She was wonderful to work with! Thank so much Priscilla!!

Smart Party Rentals was great! Jack came out and visited our venue with us (on a pretty rainy day) and helped us refine our rental list. We visited the showroom in Canoga Park and he brought out everything we wanted to see. He was very helpful and his staff were pretty responsive over email, sending us over ten revised quotes as we kept adding and subtracting from our rental list. They had almost everything we needed! One stop shopping! And reasonably priced. They arrived on time (maybe even earlier than expected) and made sure everything was set up. They were not disruptive and took direction well. When they came back at night to pick everything up after the wedding, they packed up so quickly, I almost didn't even notice! I would recommend them to any bride!

Van made our cake GORGEOUS! We gave her a picture of a cake we liked. It was better than we ever expected. She matched the exact colors and designs. I love the look of fondant but the taste of butter cream - with her cakes, you could not tell the difference! We received numerous compliments on our beautiful cake. The only thing I wish I had addressed with her was the color of the foil she used to wrap the bases of each layer - they were gold and clashed a bit with our silver motif. Also, we rented a silver cake stand but it never made it. Otherwise, the cake was on time and look like perfection!

WONDERFUL, great to work with pre-wedding, during-wedding, and even afterward! Melissa (our Catering Manager) is wonderful - along with managing the catering staff and timeline - she takes on kind of a "coordinator" role as well and makes sure that everything is running smoothly even beyond the food/beverages. Guests gave great feedback, very professional service. Food was great! They went above and beyond and made our wedding a success! Highly recommend this team :)

Although John wasn't available to do my wedding, Eric was a great replacement! He's really nice! We had a very unique venue (private estate with different outdoor "areas"). After Dark was very adaptable to the demands of our space - roping speakers 20 feet out from the dance room, changing our contract because there was not enough power to run the uplights, and using a unique gobo light to conserve energy. Although I didn't get to meet Eric before the wedding, John was very responsive over email and phone. They are reasonably priced and so easy to work with! I'd recommend them to anyone!

Duke's work is outstanding! We continue to get wonderful compliments on our engagement and wedding photos. He takes photos that look like they should be published in magazines! And not only is his work beautiful, he is great to work with. He knows what he's doing, gives us a lot of direction, and really makes you feel comfortable...I would recommend him to anyone! Thanks Duke!

Linda was such a great find! Probably the vendor I'm most proud of. She was so sweet throughout the entire process. Responded to all my questions via email before the wedding, tolerated our many questions over the smallest details, and even met with us when we needed to clarify and change things. She made beautiful arrangements for us. Everyone complimented our floral design on the day of our wedding! She made it look gorgeous!! I'd recommend her to anyone. She is an up and coming florist and will be HUGE one day! I wish you the best, Linda!
