I have a photobooth business, so I am writing this review from a vendor's perspective. I have worked with Sonia for many years now. She is for sure a blessing to me & my business, ...and is easily my all-time favorite event planner to work with! I absolutely love her!
First off, Sonia has got to be the sweetest event planner out there, not only because she sends me business haha, but she does all the little things that other event planners don’t do.
For example, during an event, Sonia is ALWAYS working non-stop. Seriously, that girl does not stop lol. She is constantly checking all the little details, making sure the flowers, decor and colors are absolutely perfect for the photographer & guests upon entry, checking on vendors to make sure they know where they’re supposed to be & what they’re supposed to be doing, checking & double-checking the timeline and making sure every little thing is in the right place for all the activities. Seriously, I have so much respect for the quality & level of work that she does--it’s amazing to watch her bring out that unique expression or theme that she & her client have co-created, and bring their special event to life!
But that’s not all. During the event, I ALWAYS see her working non-stop. She is constantly looking around to make sure everyone is having an amazing time, all while still constantly checking the timeline & all the little details to make sure everything goes perfectly for her client. I always see her going around picking up stuff, straightening up little things, etc. Sonia does not stop. Lol. haha
But wait...there’s more! Lol. Remember I said that she is the sweetest planner out there? Well, even in the midst of everything that she is overseeing, she ALWAYS checks on vendors to make sure that we’ve received our vendor meals and checks to see if there’s anything that she can get for us or do for us. I always tell her “I’m good”, but she always ends up doing something sweet like bring over an appetizer while we wait for our meals. I always joke with her that I always feel like VIP at her events haha. But it’s really little things like this that speaks volume about the kind of person Sonia is. I think we know who the real VIP is here. :D
All in all, I have to say Sonia puts in an incredible amount of love and care into all of her events. You feel it when you walk into one of her events. It’s beautiful...a work of art. You can feel her passion in all the little details. They say that if you care about something, you care about the details. I think her work speaks for itself. I have so much respect for her.
I’ll leave with this last note. From all the events that I worked with, with Sonia, I can see that she is creating something more much than just an event. She is creating an experience, and creating many cherished moments that are absolutely priceless...because I see so many people walk into the event as they normally would, but by the end of the night everyone is full--full of spirit and energy, and their hearts are filled with joy and happiness. Everyone leaves feeling “full” and complete, with something that they can keep with them forever and that to me, is one of the most beautiful things for me to witness. Much respect to Sonia & her incredible work.
