Terrible planning experience, wedding planner Barbara “Barbie” Sanchez was negligent, inefficient and unapologetic in all her actions. As a family run business there was no accountability of actions and a great lack of organization skills. I wished we didn’t have some many issues so we could have enjoy our wedding planning experience and our wedding day. We were telling them what to do and working on our wedding day. I urge you to not trust this company with your event especially your wedding. From the beginning, we had issues with Barbie due to her lack of attention and responsiveness. As the wedding approached, we grew impatient with her lack of attention to our event so we started requesting appointments. In these meetings, we would sit down with her and she would assured us to any request that we had. The one vendor request we had was to book the musicians for the ceremony, one week before the wedding she came back to us to tell us that she didn’t have any options at the already planned and communicated budget. We had to rescue the situation and night before the wedding we reserve a violist. The wedding planner never coordinated the floral arrangement walkthrough and we had to do a second food tasting as in the first one they served us canned fruits in our “upgraded salad”. We re-wrote the proposal several times to make sure we had everything in writing, and even with that they failed to produce the requested. The worst experience we had was on the day before the wedding, we received pictures of the floral arrangements, and there were nothing like the ones that we had envisioned and provided pictures for in our many sit-downs with Barbie and the owner Alba. The day before our wedding, when we were supposed to be introducing our families and enjoying time together, we rushed to their “showroom” and sat there for more than 4 hours, until they brought in the flowers that—from the beginning of the process we had agreed on. This situation got so frustrated that my wife started to cry as they keep telling us that they needed to review their budget, instead of admitting to their mistake and trying to fix it. The day of the wedding, the wedding planner was working instead of planning/directing, as they were under staffed, my guests started to arrive and there were still a lot of items missing and people in shorts and sneakers going around. For our ceremony, they completely forgot the detailed diagram that we provided and therefore myself and my groomsmen had to change the layout. This company lacks attention to detail, professionalism, and fulfilling the simple promises that an event company should provide. Another ask we had was for the wedding “planner” to help us coordinate the photos after the ceremony, but she was nowhere to be found. After all these mistakes, we asked her to leave the property. Once the reception started, Omar, the DJ (who is the owner, Alba’s son) messed up our entrance song by playing an entirely different song; as we walked down we looked and each other smiling with disappointment (certainly not what we had envisioned). To make matters worse, our “upgraded” food was very bland and the presentation was terrible—certainly not as we discussed. As you can see, we had a really bad experience; the people currently in control of this company lack experience and organization. Speaking about this company frustrates us greatly, because they—simply put—messed up our big day. Going back to the reviews of this company; if you ask/confront them about the bad reviews, as we did, they will only blame the clients. I’m attaching screenshots of 2 reviews I found before our wedding because I would like to make it clear—despite knowing this information about their performance, we tried our best to make the best out of situation and to steer away from these mishaps/mistakes/hiccups; however to our dismay it still occurred. Please do your homework on this company and feel free to contact me with any questions regarding my experience. We sincerely regret hiring them

Son una empresa increible, Alba y su grupo son excelentes personas, en cada fiesta y cada evento trabajan duro para complacer a cada persona y hacer su sueño realidad.. A mi en lo personal me ayudaron con la organizacion del Primer Añito de mi Hijo y quede 100% complacida. Son una empresa que dan el todo por ver a sus clientes felices y agradecidos por el trabajo realizado.. Una y muchas veces mas los recomendaria a cualquier persona con los ojos cerrados..

We are so happy that we picked Event Design Productions to decorate and cater our wedding. Alba and Maria were the sweetest.The team was fantastic to work with and the food was delicious. At our tasting, they suggested (and prepared for us to try) several specialty cocktails, which were the perfect welcome for our guests. They understood our vision for the night and put together a plan that was perfectly suited to us. Everyone has continued to rave about the food, from the passed hors doeuvres to the main courses to the miniature cupcakes and other sweets. The quality of the food for the price cannot be beat –DJ was awesome.The decoration were beautiful from the flowers to the tables. My wedding was a fairy tale. I felt like a princess. Their makeup artist did an amazing job as well. Thank you Alba and your lovely staff for such an amazing job. Best day of my life.highly recommend!

I dont even know where to begin with my review for Event Design Productions. They did an EXTRAORDINARY job and I have never been so grateful that I had such a wonderful team to work with. Alba is beyond amazing. She executed my vision so perfectly. It was a million times more than I could have ever imagined. She truly made my fairy tale wedding come true. The flowers, decor, and service were above and beyond. We received so many compliments on how beautiful everything for the wedding was, and it was all because of Alba. It was the best money I spent all wedding. organized. I received so many compliments on how organized our whole wedding was . I am so truly thankful for this group because without them our wedding would not have been as perfect. It was honestly a magical night. Thank you for everything! You guys are awesome.

If I could cater all my house parties Event Design Productions would be the catering company I would use! My husband and I were incredibly happy with the services we received for our wedding in June. Before the wedding Alba was always available to answer any questions we had and helped in the planning of the big day since she was also my day of planner (great service to have). The day of the wedding she kept everything moving smoothly even with the rain. THANK YOU GUYS! The food was amazing! It’s been a month and half and I still have people commenting about the steak which was the best steak I have had in a while. If you are looking for great quality and price you really must use them. You guys Rock!!! Thank you again for everything!

DO NOT HIRE!!! They did a terrible job at my wedding. Lets start with the fact that they arrived late for set up. we added guests and they never added chairs to the count, so there wasnt enough chairs for every one. They didnt bring the flower vases they agreed on bringing. The food was late not enough to the point where guests left because they where hungry. The food was also cold! My friend had to fight with the catering staff so they wouldnt take the liquor I paid for. They magically disappeared 30 glass bowls we bought and allowed them to use. Their "bar" was a table with a white table cloth they wanted to charge $600 for any additional hour. Nothing in their service was worth the price. I regret hiring them.
