PCS Events - Catering & Design

el like a breeze; highly recommend!

worked with my family and me to ensure nothing was missed. She took the time to truly understand my vision and brought it to life with such ease and confidence. Her experience in event planning is evident in every detail—she offers expert guidance, thoughtful suggestions, and practical solutions that actually make sense (including budget-conscious options without sacrificing quality). Throughout the process, I felt completely supported and at ease knowing everything was in capable hands. Barbara is the kind of planner who starts as a vendor and quickly becomes someone you genuinely trust and enjoy working with. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would wholeheartedly recommend PCS Events to anyone planning a wedding or special event.

nd executed each element with strong attention to detail and genuine care. The décor and floral designs aligned beautifully with our vision, the food received outstanding feedback from guests, and the overall flow of the day was smooth and well-managed. Her ability to handle multiple crucial aspects of the event made the planning process easier and ensured our wedding day felt cohesive and elevated. We’re grateful for her hard work and would confidently recommend her services to future couples.

I became her Point of Contact for all things wedding related. From the moment I spoke to Barbara she listened to all of our ideas and knew exactly what my daughter wanted. We schehuled a meeting and it was fabulous moving forward. Barbara is a total professional and hones her craft. The many years she has been in the event planning business surely shined throughout the process. Always providing her guidance as I told her and showed her Briana's vision. She came through for Briana and Andres. She offered not only expert advice but also suggestions and price to match. Barbara is someone that begins as your event planner and through the process someone you can easily call a friend, simply by the of how she maneuvers it all. 

mazing. She went above and beyond to make sure everything was exactly how we envisioned it. Her attention to detail with both the catering and the setup truly made our day feel effortless. We also had a few last-minute changes, and Barbara handled them with complete grace and flexibility. It took so much stress off of us knowing she had everything under control. The food was delicious, the presentation was beautiful, and the entire experience exceeded our expectations. We’re so grateful for PCS Events & Catering and highly recommend them to anyone planning a wedding or special event!

completely effortless. She listened to every detail we envisioned and made everything happen exactly the way we wanted, sometimes even better than we imagined. Her professionalism, communication, and genuine care made such a difference. She handled every question, change, and idea with patience and excitement. On the day of our wedding, she executed every moment flawlessly. I didn’t worry about a single thing because she was always one step ahead. The timeline, the setup, the décor, the food, everything was absolutely perfect. Our guests are still talking about how beautiful the day was and how delicious the food turned out. You can tell she truly loves what she does, because her passion shines in her work. If you're looking for someone who will bring your vision to life with excellence, kindness, and unmatched attention to detail, look no further. She made our dream wedding a reality, and we will always be grateful. Highly, highly recommend!

finish. They were very keen to all the details and did a fantastic job. I was super impressed with how responsive the company was and really made us feel special while we worked to plan out the wedding. The guests raved about the food and were very happy with it all. Barbara went above and beyond for us and I’m forever grateful for her. I highly recommend her and her team for your next event. You will not be disappointed!

wed our October 2024 wedding and refuses to respond to any of our emails since. Barbara lied stating she was sick when she actually double-booked herself and was at a different wedding. On top of us having no coordinator, our wedding was further ruined by numerous other contractual failures from PCS including not having any of the correct food, having inadequate and unprofessional staff, missing flowers, and missing decor. We have given Barbara multiple chances to make things right but she has refused to speak with or contact us in any way since the day before our wedding. If you have also been a victim please contact me at elainabartoli@gmail.com

, decor was stunning, and service was phenomenal. Everything from our wedding timeline, coordinating with our other vendors, florals, candles, bar service.. it was all perfection. We were in constant communication for just under a year leading up to our wedding. I HIGHLY recommend working with PCS if you want your wedding to be seamless, beautiful, and as stress-free as possible. I cannot give them enough praise. Thank you PCS team for making our wedding day so perfect!

al Grove and basically held our hands to ensure a seamless wedding day. We contacted each other mostly by email and text message and her or her team always responded promptly. I also used their Day of Coordination services alongside her catering services. Catering review: Food was absolutely amazing. For appetizers we had 5 – Spicy Tuna Sushi rolls, Beef Wellington, watermelon and feta, meatballs and gyozas. The Beef Wellington and gyozas were the biggest hit! The food was delicious and we got tons of compliments on the delicious cake. We opted for a sit down served dinner and everything was spectacular and delicious. Day of Coordination review: Venus and Lacey took care of us (Groom and Bride) all night long bringing us food, cake, drinks, any and everything we desired. Barbara also allowed us to drop off a few sentimental pieces and favors that we had for our guests at her location so her and her team can take it to the venue, and we didn’t have to worry about anything. We did label everything and provided a “day of book” to help with coordination (I hope this helped.) Barbara ensured that we followed the timeline we provided (as much as possible, obviously there were minor delays but nothing crazy). She fluffed by dress right before I walked down the isle. She was there for our rehearsal and lent the best advice that was definitely what we needed. If I had to do it all over, I would chose Barbara and her phenomenal team all over again! Thank you for being so amazing!

actual event to the perfect details on the day of I could not be happier with hiring PCS for my wedding day. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HIRE! You will not regret it!

wedding and she was not only able to deliver our vision, but even made a dream of ours come true: a cafecito fountain! Never done before and yet she was willing and able to give it a try. IT WAS A HIT!!! Everyone loved it as well as all the food she made and she even did the flowers and tables. She was basically everything except the venue and DJ. And in record time. Plus, she was always available to us and willing to assist with lil, last minute changes basically up until the day of. She is incredible, there aren't enough stars in the galaxy to give her, and we highly recommend her and her team. Muchas gracias, PCS!

of our questions and needs that we had. PCS took away all of our stress and Barbara went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we wanted at our wedding! We recommend PCS to everyone who has an event!! Absolutely a pleasure to work with!!!

t of your event to be stress-free, or organized I would not recommend PCS Events. They are not organized and they have no attention to detail. There is not enough time or space to address every failure, delay, and disappointment on our wedding day because of PCS Events, but the major issues are addressed below. On the day of our wedding, we were promised adequate staffing with trained servers and bartenders. We received neither. The staff spoke little to no English and one server even spilled an entire plate on a guest. She then asked, “do you want me to get you another one?” Additionally, there was a 15 – 20-minute wait at the bar all night long because they only hired 1 bartender for more than 100 people. Many guests did not get water service at the table, and they had to wait in the 20-minute line just to get water. Moreover, PCS Events did not follow our seating chart and some guests did not have seats/place settings. Couples were placed at opposite ends of the tables and family members were seated apart from one another. We were also promised a month of wedding planner who would coordinate the rehearsal, plan our wedding, and manage the wedding schedule throughout the day. We received neither. During the rehearsal, they sent an assistant who had zero knowledge about the details of our wedding. I (the bride) had to step in and direct everyone and lead our own rehearsal. Notably, the Event Planner was not present during our reception because there were not enough chefs, and she was too busy cooking in the back. There was no one there to manage the flow of the event. Our wedding party had to step in and help manage the timelines. Before starting the ceremony, it became clear that PCS Events had not provided enough chairs for the guests, despite going over the headcount in detail beforehand. Again, PCS Events failed to step in and direct the guests where to sit and my maid of honor had to go out before we started to do crowd control. During the reception, it became clear that the food being served to our guests was of a different quality entirely than the food provided to us at the tasting. We (the bride and groom) could hardly eat our dinner because the meat was so incredibly chewy and tasteless. Additionally, our signature cocktail was being served in wine glasses because PCS Events had not brought enough cocktail glasses. Lastly, our guests did not get to see many of the beautiful custom details that we had ordered for our wedding simply because of PCS Events’ inattentiveness to detail. We spent significant money on custom cocktail napkins, but PCS Events did not pass them out with drinks. We also ordered a custom mirrored seating chart with calligraphy, but PCS Events placed the mirror behind a tree where no one could see it. Our guests had to walk around the tables looking for their names on the place cards at each table. Additionally, many guests did not see our card box, digital sign-in card, or honeymoon fund QR code, because they were all placed on a table behind a tree where no one saw it. We will note that PCS Events provided beautiful flower arrangements and furniture rentals for an affordable price. However, after all the stress, anxiety, and lack of communication on the other services, we would not hire them again for any purpose.

t and we had an awesome time. We knew things would go wrong, especially in a challenging venue, with a large headcount, and on a tight budget—but more went wrong than we expected. Our cocktail hour was set up in the wrong location. Despite deciding that we would not be doing welcome drinks, drinks were given to guests as they arrived. Despite specifying in our seating chart where high chairs would be needed, no high chairs were offered to those tables. The father/daughter dance and toasts were supposed to happen after guests were seated with their meals and instead happened earlier. As such, people didn’t have drinks for the toasts (though this was probably more the DJ’s error). I panicked that PCS had forgotten about the wine table service because I noticed there were no wine glasses on the tables. Staff were pulled off the bar to start taking orders. Had I known that they did not have sufficient staff to do both simultaneously, I wouldn’t have pushed for it. Later, PCS shared that they don’t set wine glasses or serve wine at the tables because it stains the linens, but this had never been communicated to us. We would not have added on this service if we had known. Guest place cards were placed incorrectly at 5 of our 15 tables. A mix of all sorts of candles were used at our event that were NOT the 3x3 and 3x4 pillar candles we specified. During the buffet, the vegetarian entree wasn’t there. We were later told that this was to avoid non-vegetarians from eating it, but the guests didn't know to ask for it! Despite knowing where all the vegetarian guests were seated, PCS never checked in on them to offer it. No kids meals were served. PCS did refund us for this but, unfortunately, the picky eaters didn’t get to eat. PCS ran out of the fish option at our buffet (even though it was well communicated that there would be many Catholics in attendance observing lent). Our parents were amongst those who could not get the fish. I know that based on the above it might seem like our wedding was a disaster, but it wasn’t. It’s just that members of the staff felt very green and many moments of our wedding felt chaotic. Despite the things that went wrong, a lot went right. We had the right layout, tables, chairs, linens, napkins, plates, and silverware. Table numbers were placed on the right tables, signs and photos were displayed (albeit one on a broken easel), raffia fans were put out, and our signature drink, cake, and coffee were served. Also, though we didn’t really eat, we were told the food was good! The space looked stunning and people could not stop talking about how beautiful Barbara’s florals were. PCS also handled coordinating our tent set up and break down, moving several items from their original locations to new locations throughout the evening, and received and served a fast food delivery we ordered. Though there were guests who commented on the disorganization of the staff, many more people commented on how fun our wedding was. If you’re a detail-oriented bride, hire a separate day of coordinator. With PCS, details got lost and information was not well communicated. Staff were not prepared to answer guest questions and, depending on who you asked, you were likely to get different answers. But, things looked beautiful and we all had a great time!

I was being supported by two incredibly smart and capable ladies. From start to finish my husband and I received such incredible kindness and guidance from these ladies. The food by chef Barbara was absolutely delicious, and the decorations and event planning by Marcella made for a beautiful ceremony and reception. Their pricing is reasonable and affordable for the full range of services they offer, and really from the moment I spoke with Barbara I knew I would be in good hands. If you are planning a wedding, baby shower, or really any kind of event, PCS Event Productions will meet and exceed your expectations! Thank you Barbara, Marz, Andrew, and the staff at PCS Event Productions, you guys are amazing!!!

e the scale and the last minute booking (other caterer bailed at the last minute) everything went off without a hitch. If you're Looking for delicious food and seamless event production, pcs is a good bet.

t that I write this review because I loved working with Barbara and her team. We hired them for catering, decor, flowers, and planning. Everyone was kind and made sure that I was never stressed about details. If there was ever anything we wanted that she didn't already have, she'd happily offer to get it for us. It wasn't clear that those requests meant extra charges but we were happy to pay because we were promised that we'd get everything we asked for. Unfortunately, when it came to our big day, I left feeling very disappointed by their lack of follow-through with the details I was told not to worry about. All the flower colors were completely wrong, I was promised gluten-free options that weren't provided, our wedding cake flavor was carrot when we asked for chocolate and vanilla, cocktail hour was not setup how we discussed... so on and so forth. I spent many hours picking out clear photos of what we wanted the day to look like and discussing all those details with Barbara and her team, so it was just disheartening to see that those conversations weren't remembered. **To be fair, I selected a difficult color (Terracotta) to achieve in the spring. However, I wish that Barb warned me that finding things in that color would've been an issue instead of showing up with bright orange and yellow decor. They called me every day to watch the weather but never warned me that the certain decor options wouldn't be possible. In the end, they delivered a beautiful wedding. My guests had a wonderful time. BUT it wasn't the wedding that we planned and that sucks.

guys were on the ball.

and she even got the chargers we wanted special for us! And if there was anything she didn't have, she made sure to help us find it! Everyone was telling us how amazing the food was. Even including so many things they were one of the most affordable options we could find and did such an exceptional job! 10/10 would recommend :)

eam engagement party come true. She came to our event site and helped us visualize all the table locations, bar, and guest tables. She arranged beautiful center pieces, set up tables, linens, glassware and a beautiful bar to make our rustic vision come true. Her team was very punctual, energetic, helpful, and extremely professional. The food was absolutely incredible as well. Our guests were very impressed with the quality of the food, and the variety that was served. From hors d’oeuvres, cocktail hour style entrees, and a delicious assortment of desserts it was a giant success. At the end of the event her team made sure it was if nothing had ever happened. Our home was spotless. She made this event as stress free as possible. Her customer service has not changed in the 7 years since I last used her service. I am as pleased now as I was back then. It was a joy working with PCS Events to make such a special day come true!

bout how good everything was and most of us had seconds (even thirds). She held a private tasting with us and catered our menu to our likes and the dietary restrictions of many of our guests. Not only was every detail beautiful (chairs, tables, linens, layout), but Barbara was so easy to work with, friendly, and helped to make our day stress free, even helping to organize a last minute tent when rain was in the forecast. We could not have imagined a more perfect ceremony or reception. We couldn’t be happier with Barbara and PCS and highly recommend them!

ront. She offers a very comprehensive “one stop shop” experience that takes a ton of pressure off knowing that food, coordinating, decor, cake, etc are all taken care of. She offers a tailored experience to any style or budget and creates beautiful designs. She also did our brunch and rehearsal and did a great job with those too! She was a pleasure to work with for our special day and we would definitely use her services again!

versations and made changes several times during our preparations. Each time Barbara was understanding and helpful throughout the process. She offers different services for your type of event & is available to answer questions right away. Our guest enjoyed the menu we selected with her help and still talk about the food we had that day. We are blessed and happy to have worked with Barbara and her team. Thank you so much for helping making our day special. I would recommend PCS Events for any catering services need

she pretty much guided us very closely to what would be our incredible wedding reception celebration. I could reiterate all the 5 star reviews on here and second what they say, or talk about all our last minute items that Barbara made happen for us, but one personal story - my special needs sibling saw my mom and dad wearing their boutonnieres and wanted one as well. Without missing a beat, Barbara fashioned a boutonniere within a minute in the midst of all the prepping and cooking and the smiles and joy said it all! It's not just the entirety of your event that you remember, but the little things that make an event special - Barbara and her staff knows this and it is why we so highly recommend them.

, flowers, tables ect. She also went above and beyond and guided us through the process and was always so calm and always had a solution. The food was delicious. Hirely would recommend Barbara and PCS team :).

and day-of-coordination. Even with other events in the works for her and her team, Barbara ALWAYS made me feel as if we were the only couple that she was working with. She always made time for us, she listened to us, adapted with us and even learned to read our minds - not even kidding. She has this natural gift for making you feel at ease during the entire process and it is evident that she is an outstanding professional. The entire team goes above and beyond to capture the essence of who we are and what our vision was for our special day. The food was amazing, the floral arrangements were breathtaking, the day-of coordination was wonderful. As always, things don't ever go 100% as planned but Barbara and the team adapted and made sure that no matter what - our dream wedding was never compromised and everything was taken care of with grace and elegance. If you are looking for a one-stop shop and for someone who LOVES what they do and will make you feel like royalty without breaking the bank - please look no further than this amazing company and team. We wish we could give more than a 5 star review! THANK YOU BARBARA AND TEAM!

team they made it happen. From the gorgeous and i truly mean GORGEOUS decor that was set up to Barbara herself as a planner, everything was spectacular. I truly want to thank Barbara for making our wedding come to life and making it one of the best days in our lives. Also I want to thank her for running around and handling the stressful parts so that i wouldnt have to. I forgot the wedding license in the hotel room safe and she ran to get it for me, then i forgot the garter and she pulled out some ribbon I could use haha! She was truly the best thank you so much!!!

reating a customized package for us. Our flowers were absolutely beautiful. The decor, and lighting created a beautiful evening. The all-inclusive package with rentals took a lot of stress and planning off our shoulders. Much appreciated with our demanding work schedules. The staff was so kind and thoughtful. They even brought in a golf cart for our grandparents. We had a fantastic time. Thanks so much

y will everything Barbara and her team did to make my wedding a dream come true! Thank you for dealing with my countless emails, questions and phone calls and being such a genuine person. The food, service, and design was everything and more! We wish you many years of success!

I know you worked very, very hard. I’m sure I could never do what you and your staff did on my own.

otential rain issue and her staff helped us along to the right decision. You get what you pay for with PCS and we got quality work.

ithout being in the area. We wanted to find a balance between someone who could help with planning while still being flexible and taking input from us on what we wanted for our wedding. Barbara and her team were extremely accommodating. They listened to all of our thoughts and concerns and provided feedback on ways our ideas could be executed, always in the interest of making things as easy as possible for us. Every time we brought up concerns they had an answer sourced from years of experience. They were happy to do as much or as little as we wanted them to for any given area of the wedding and were helpful with coordinating when we sourced our DJ and musician externally. Given our remote living situation, we were unable to schedule a tasting until after leaving a security deposit with them, but after the first bite of food any concerns we had went away. The food was delightful, contemporary, and never felt dated or contrived. They also accommodated alterations to dishes and let us make up our own signature cocktails. When it came down to crunch time on the wedding day, anything handled by PCS events was of no concern; they executed perfectly. There was concern for rain leading up to the day and Barbara monitored forecasts for us to provide backup plans in case the weather deteriorated (luckily it didn’t). Throughout the whole time I felt like she was a family member with personal, vested interest in my wedding rather than a vendor we hired. The same goes for the rest of her staff. Everyone was so cheerful and positive. They all had smiles on their faces and seemed like an extension of our guest list who just happened to be helping out. They made sure my wife and I got to enjoy all the food despite how busy we were. Claudia was especially attentive and checked with us throughout the reception to make sure we were well fed, hydrated, and overall happy. She was a wedding ninja. At one point my mother-in-law misplaced her shoes as we got ready for our sparkler exit. Barbara took off her shoes and gave them to her and walked on gravel paths so that my mother-in-law wouldn’t have to worry about finding them. I don’t have any doubt that Barbara was ready to do whatever it took to make our wedding go smoothly. Every time I think back on my wedding I think about how perfect it was and Barbara and her team were a crucial component to make that a reality. If money and emotional turmoil were no objects, I would divorce my wife and marry her all over again just so I could work with PCS Events.

alked the property with us and listened to what we wanted and she gave us some great ideas as well. We ended up using 4 location's at our venue and Barbara was very accommodating with each location change without an additional cost to us. After the tasting with Barbara, we knew that she was the type of person that was going to pay attention to every little detail to make sure our day was perfect. The presentation of the food was done very nicely and everything tasted delicious. Barbara's quote was very detailed and easy to understand. We flew down 2 days before our wedding and they were calling for rain. Since we were planning the ceremony and reception outside, Barbara had already contacted the venue and came up with a plan b if the weather didn't cooperate. Fortunately the weather cleared and everything went as planned. Barbara is very easy to work with and we would highly recommend her!

tly kept in touch with them as they helped us figure out our dream wedding. Planning a Vizcaya wedding is not the easiest of tasks, but she managed to do it and our guests were very pleased with everything. Thank you Barbie for everything! - Leslie & Andro

credible all inclusive catering company. I trusted them with the flowers, the decor, the food, our cake, the lighting, and the music etc and it was perfect!!! I loved being able to have all this in one place which made the planning so much easier and stress free!!! The food is fantastic!! Everyone could not stop telling us how delicious the food was. The dessert bar/coffee bar were a huge hit with our guests! Barbara is amazing and her team is awesome! The days leading up to our day were stress free and we were able to enjoy our special day fully because of this amazing team. I absolutely recommend them for your wedding day and any other occasion you may have!!!

or coffee and patiently answered all of our questions. She was bubbly, full of energy and took notes on everything we said. We hired her soon after and were SO GLAD we did. At the tasting, we were blown away by all the delicious options. It was almost impossible to choose. We later met with her at the PCS office to decide on linens and decor. She was patient while we went back and forth with ideas, pulling out items from her warehouse that might work and offering to source other options if we didn't see what we liked. On the day of the weeding, Barbara and her team DELIVERED and then some. When I arrived a few hours before the ceremony, they were putting all the final details together. The decor was better than anything I had imagined. Everything felt thoughtful and reflected the style I had shown her. She listened to every word we said. It was incredible. I couldn't stop thanking her for the amazing job they did. During the reception, someone from her team was always making sure we had enough to eat and drink, and always kept us on schedule. We were able to relax and enjoy the night. Our guests are still commenting on the excellent service. It was their first time working at the venue, and they executed everything flawlessly. It was a pleasure working with them.

matter of a few weeks, we had the menu, flowers, music, tables and decorations done! Their pricing is very reasonable for such great personal service. I was going to hire a planner but I really didn't need one. Our wedding day was carried out so well. Mike and I are really happy we found them.

hey provided us with a beautiful flowered arch, aisle runner with petals, and boutonnieres that fit the Great Gatsby wedding theme perfectly. They even thought of bringing the flowers over to the reception to brighten up the sweetheart table. Thanks!

o plan my wedding.! I called Barbara and from the first conversation, I immediately knew she had a heart of gold. Something clicked!! I was not wrong !! Barbara and her team are the most sweet, genuine, hard working team I have come across . The entire wedding planning was organized, Barbara is open to ideas and helped me through the entire process. They took care of everything ! I gave her a folder full of ideas, and like a pro, she gave me the wedding of my dreams. I changed ideas a few times here and there, they never had a problem to accommodate . Barbara is the best. The day of my wedding, I was in awe, the décor was beautiful, exactly what I asked for, the food was amazing, all of my guests LOVED and talked about the food again and again. Bar drinks ?? No problem!!! MORE THAN ENOUGH. we never felt rushed. Barbara really cares!! and she has the best team, that cares as well. From the time I got to the ceremony, till the very last few minutes, they were on top of everything!!!! SO IMPRESSED!!!! I learned to love them, genuine, because they have a heart of gold. Barbara, I cannot thank you enough. You are amazing not only as a planner, but as a human ... you have a tremendous heart and go beyond and I could not thank you enough. If I had to do it all again, there is NOTHING I would change. NOTHING. because everything was so perfect. I would book with Barbara again, and again. From the bottom of my heart,... I truly thank you.... my mom definitely wants to keep Barbara forever in life, for all events, and I do too !!!! I don't blame her !!! Thank you Barbara !!! We love you !!! You made my dream wedding come to life !!!

ughter said, “Mom, I felt as if she understands my vision.” Throughout the process of choosing the décor, food, entertainment and everything else, she was amazing. In life there are people who are very good listeners and she is one of those people. She listened, took notes, friended my daughter on Pinterest so that she could look at her ideas and communicated with myself and my daughter throughout the entire year. She was always reachable by email, or phone. Never too busy to answer any question. No question was too trivial, always treated any call as if she were speaking to a close friend. The day of the wedding she was right there from early in the day until the end. She is truly a hands on person. She gave my daughter the wedding of her dreams. Everything was perfect and beyond our expectations! She was extremely fair priced compared with other companies and she went above and beyond with every small detail. Her staff was amazing also. If I were to rate them on a scale of 1-10 for customer service, I would give them a 10! They were so attentive and professional. The food was phenomenal! Family and friends are still talking about the wedding and that it was one of the most beautiful weddings that they ever attended. I highly recommend PCS for any event and am so happy that I chose them. Because of Barbara, We will have wonderful memories that will last a lifetime!

fairytale wedding for us. My guest still rave about its beauty and elegance to date. They say it was by far the best wedding ever. Thanks Barbara I will forever be greatfull

verything to make sure our wedding was exactly what we wanted. I would highly recommend her and her company for any event. We are very happy we had her for our wedding.
