Trish helped make our wedding as stress free as possible. Trish is an amazing problem solver and was always happy to jump on a call and talk through ideas or issues during the planning process. Trish did so much behind the scenes coordination that even having two bands was completely seamless to us and our guests. Trish worked hard to shield us from any day of hassles and even helped some not typically punctual VIP guests arrived on time. Would hire her again in a heartbeat!
I will always remember this as the most perfect day, and Trish and her team played a huge part in making that memory. My friends and family kept complimenting how wonderful and fun the reception was, and that they loved that the details. Our Mexican heritage was honored but not overdone - it perfectly represented us in a way that felt unique. I didn't want to open a magazine and have a clone reception that I've seen in 1000 times, and ours was loud, bright and wonderful - exactly what we wanted!
Our wedding was over the course of 3 days, and my family was a little skeptical of a concept that honored our traditions, but was more modern in feel. But from the creative ( and jaw dropping!) concept for the baraat, and a mandap that was like out of a fantasy, my family could not stop raving. I cannot thank Trish and her team enough for their hard work!
A million times, thank you!
Words cannot begin to express how thankful I am for all of the hard work Trish and her team put into our wedding. From the first call (on the phone), to the final call (with our guests at the bar), I enjoyed the process so much that I want to run out and start all over again! She took all of our ideas and expanded on them to form just a wonderful masterpiece! (IMO) I would recommend any couple to her in a heartbeat.
Working with Trish was a joy from the word go! We had such a connection with her, not only is Trish detail oriented enough to satisfy my type A personality, she has a wonderful creative eye. Just the right combination, and a true professional. Her attention to detail was everything I could have wanted, and her kindness and passion for what she does is the bonus. Everyone commented how great the wedding was and that they had a wonderful time, and the memories will last a lifetime. I think that is what Trish does best, creating memories that last.
We are so very thankful to Trish and her team for making our wedding such a magical evening! The creative execution and professionalism displayed were outstanding, and we cannot recommend them enough!
