YSD Events

es all pretty much summed it up this way “Most beautiful wedding ever and Most fun ever, this wedding is the one to beat for sure going forward”. Excellence, professionalism, personable, fun, warm, easy to work with are all attributes that describe Brad & Justin to a T. Our family is so grateful to have met them and work with them over a year planning our 1st daughter’s wedding. We will do this again with 2nd little daughter when Mr. Right shows up! Cheers and affectionate thanks to Brad & Justin and all of their supporting cast members, from staff to their partners. Sabina & Jose F.

raid of thinking outside the box and putting creative, unique touches on the classic, elegant wedding and delivering unforgettable results! I never felt nervous throughout the entire process. They were always there to answer any questions I had through text or phone call. I trusted them and their expertise to take care of all the details. And they did, they had the entire event planned down to the minute! They are experienced, professional, and so fun to work with. You can really tell they care about their clients and every event they put on. We’re sad the wedding planning is over so we won’t see them anymore! Let brad and Justin handle all the details, and you just enjoy the fun stuff!

made sure every minute of the entire day was planned, and when we fell behind they made sure we stayed calm and still got everything done while still starting the ceremony on time!

d them to anyone looking to plan the wedding of their dreams!

d YSD to anyone planning a wedding, whether destination or local. No detail is too small, they think of everything to help make your day as special as can be.

led our chaotic event with grace, a level of expertness that cannot be surpassed and always wearing a smile. When we were in a rut, they always had ideas to fix the problems. I cannot recommend them both enough for the work they are experts in. From after parties to galas, they know their stuff.

k ! We will use these guys services again !! Good job Brad and Justin !

as a wedding harpist for years before changing careers. I thought I would be fine but I started getting overwhelmed the first week after he proposed when everyone else had a vision for my wedding (and the credentials to back it up). And so the researching into planners began. . . "Why YSD?" YSD events exceeded my expectations. The first phone call inquiry blew all of the other vendors we contacted out of the water. Brad offered a referral (I contacted the bride and she gave 10 gold stars!) & spoke candidly about the depth and breadth of their services and experience with Jamaican/Korean events. They were sincere and understanding of my long-distance situation. Brad understood the significance of my fiancee being in the military & not knowing if we'd be in the same state after the wedding. "What's communication like?" They responded so well though email, text, and phone calls and worked well with my work schedule. Months later, we met for the tasting and it felt like meeting old friends. Although I arrived a little later, YSD used the time to do a venue walkthrough & had so many great ideas when we arrived. The venue rep ended up offering add-ons complimentary! Justin is responsive and candid about budget saving ideas and navigating family dynamics. Brad has laser attention to detail. Together, they offered creative touches that we know will make the day uniquely ours. "Sure, but what about the cost?" They worked well in our budget and helped me prioritize based on our vision. My fiancee and I paid for most of the wedding so we're concerned about overspending. Despite our budget changing a few times, YSD has helped to tailor my event in a way that guests can enjoy all aspects of the day. We avoided spending on things that would get overlooked. Well, *drumroll* we're now well within our wedding budget & will not sweat financial bullets at the start of our new married life (a great plus indeed!). Needless to say, my fiancee is very happy. And I am THRILLED. I'm not sure if most brides are stressed at this point in the process but I feel secure and confident about the upcoming days. Undoubtedly, it's because I know that YSD is guiding the way. So my final thoughts? GET YSD EVENTS, especially if you're: -a long-distance bride. . . -thinking you've got all the artistic skills and Etsy prowess to DIY (don't worry, you can still put that glue gun to work) -worried about the cost of a planner (they help you save more in the long run) -having an ethnic/cultural ceremony and not sure if they'll "get it" (they're all over this!) -thinking you can find all the vendors yourself (YSD doesn't just find vendors, they help fill in any gaps/negotiate contracts/negotiate with the venue) -worried that your super artsy family will be offended (especially get YSD because you want to enjoy your family on the big day, not put them to work. My family was confused at first but now my mother raves about them). Maybe I should've waited until after the wedding to review (and I can totally give an update!). But it just hit me...I should be freaking out but I have time to enjoy this glass of wine and bing watch my favorite show. Tschüss!

resolved before you even know they exists. We had a very large, very complicated wedding in NYC and these guys couldn't have been less phased by everything we threw their way. From last minute requests to quirky additions, they always go above and beyond to make sure their clients have the wedding of their dreams. Our entire weekend was the most magical time of our lives and it 100% would not have happened without YSD Events. From first planning meeting until the last song from the DJ, Brad and Justin were on top of everything, totally present and totally there for whatever any of us could have needed. Cannot recommend them strongly enough, especially if you're planning a more unique/personalized kind of day.

rly priced. Finding vendors can be overwhelming but Brad and Justin make it easy and comforting. Not only were they available to us 24/7 but truly made us feel special and took away all the wedding planning stress. The whole process was fun and stress free thanks to them! On our wedding day, they made the ceremony and reception seamless and perfect. We’ve been to a lot of weddings where there is chaos, delays and confusion. This will 100% not happen with them. Brad and Justin will make sure all your guests feel welcomed and make sure everything goes off without a hitch. They are beyond professional as they work with Vera Wang, so you know they are going to be top of the line. All my family and guests were raving about them and how impressed they were. They were very honest and real when it came to budgeting, helping us decide what was most important and what to forgo. They worked with our budget but also gave us the freedom and options to go above and beyond. We can’t say enough wonderful things about YSD and if you’re lucky enough to get these guys, you’re wedding will be a dream. Thanks Brad & Justin for making our wedding day my magical beach boho dream!!

ble anytime we needed them. They helped a lot in regards to wedding stress. The big day finally got here, they coordinated every detail and everything went smoothly. My family and friends are still talking about the wedding and will be for a long time. Justin and Brad are pros and know what they’re doing. If you go with them, they will make sure Your Special Day is perfect in every way. 5/5 would recommend.

we really needed a dependable planner to help us pull it off. Unfortunately, we had to fire our previous wedding planner a mere 7 weeks before the wedding due to multiple issues. I was extremely worried about the wedding and was in a bit of a panic about what to do without a wedding planner. Miraculously, Brad & Justin had the day of our wedding free in a busy spring wedding season and we hired them immediately. Brad & Justin swooped in and quite literally saved our wedding. They ensured all of our contracts with our vendors were still valid despite the last minute switch in planners. They facilitated communication between us and our vendors, taking care of all the thousand little details, allowing me to focus on work and the “bigger picture” of the wedding. Above all, they were in constant communication with me and my mother so I knew everything was under control. An enormous weight was lifted off of my shoulders once we had Brad & Justin as our planners. YSD Events made me feel like our wedding was the only one they were planning. They truly cared about my happiness and demonstrated that in a million different ways. One example had to do with our wedding cake. With all the issues with our previous planner, our wedding cake maker fell through. About a month before the wedding, my husband and I were making a last minute trip to Florida to finalize details. I had mentioned to Brad and Justin that the wedding cake tasting was one thing my fiancé was really looking forward to. Brad and Justin were able to get us a truly last minute cake tasting with an amazing cake baker who stayed open late for us in order to do the tasting. We ended up hiring her and had an amazing groom’s cake and wedding cake! The day of the wedding, Brad & Justin lived up to their promise of making sure everything was perfect. From the champagne handed out to our guests on arrival to the last song, every moment of our wedding was perfect and reflected the vision I had for the wedding. They made sure everyone (including our large bridal party of 9 bridesmaids and 10 groomsmen) was where they were supposed to be when they were supposed to be there. Every detail was taken care of. I did not have to worry about a single thing and my husband and I were able to fully enjoy our wedding. I cannot thank Brad & Justin enough for everything they did for us. If you are considering hiring YSD Events for your wedding, DO IT! They will make your happiness their priority and they will seriously move mountains to do it.

y had a Friday wedding that weekend but and were available for our Saturday wedding. I wish that I had found Brad and Justin at the beginning of our wedding planning.They were incredible! Things were a mess when they took over from the previous planner. Every day that they were working with us I felt less anxious. They are so thoughtful, calming and incredibly organized. I think that I thanked them daily because I knew that they would guarantee that my daughter's wedding was spectacular and it was! They worked so hard with all of our vendors and I know that the vendors were relieved and grateful to be working with them! I could go on forever with my review. All I can say is that Brad and Justin were attentive caring and organized. When I worried about something and called them they had already taken care of it. Their timelines for the day of the wedding were incredibly detailed. Every minute was accounted for! We were so fortunate and grateful that we had Brad and Justin as our wedding planners for my daughters magical wedding!

hem to anyone who is looking for an amazing wedding with every detail small or large handled quickly, politely and efficiently.

and we set the date of the wedding before ever researching. This gave Brad and Justin 3 months to create the perfect day. This they did, and way above. They found our venue, planned the DJ, the catering, the invitations, etc, and they kept us on schedule. It is one week post wedding and our feet are still off the ground. They put together the perfect day for us and they took care of every detail. We will recommend them over and over again! Thank you Brad and Justin... thank you YSD events!

r tight budget yet meet the expectations of the formal gathering that was expected. They designed and executed a beautiful event that is still being buzzed about today.

ay not even one thing has failed. We are very thankful for such a professional organization and we would recommend to go with YSD events planners to make your wedding perfect.

year (clinical rotations) of PA school while my (now) husband resided in South Florida. Between crazy rotations schedules/demands, studying for countless exams, moving back to Florida, studying & PASSING my national board exams… Justin and Brad kept us on track throughout. In fact, they never missed a beat! Justin and Brad made solid and consistent recommendations in regards to wedding venues, vendors, and wedding day order of events. Ultimately our wedding day was pure bliss, which was perfection! We were able to be in the moment, and relish in the fact that we were embarking upon a lifelong milestone. For that I will forever be grateful. We’re actually sadden by the fact that we don’t have a reason to speak regularly with Justin and Brad. Over the past year, here are a few moments that stood out to me: 1. Immediately after the wedding recession, my husband and I were greeted with the warmest embraces from Justin and Brad. “You guys did it!” was what Justin said to me. It still brings tears to my eyes writing this. So sweet and compassionate... our journey to marriage was theirs as well! 2. Brad and Justin organized a personalized design meeting with our florist. My husband and I literally witnessed the birth and superseding of our bouquets and boutonnière expectations/ideas. 3. The ease of making and executing all the special accommodations for our family/bridal party with disabilities. Brad and Justin were extremely thoughtful and provided my husband and I sound suggestions that didn’t highlight anyone’s disabilities. However, their suggestions provided those members comfort and ease which allowed them to fully experience and participate in our wedding. 4. During our menu tasting, I was blown away by the Brad and Justin’s organization and knowledge of details pertaining to our venue/vendor contracts. 5. Lastly, Brad and Justin literally saved us $2-3K!! Again, they provided great anecdotal advice against a wedding addition. Thankfully my hubby and I took their advice because we would have completely wasted $2-3K.

.

come of our wedding. I would highly recommend Brad and Justin for any wedding needs.

ing I wanted. The level of communication and attention to detail was superb. They kept me in the loop every step of the way. They provided incredible recommendations; from the actual venue, to the vendors, all the way down to the chair covers. They made wonderful accommodations when I was informed last minute of guests not being able to attend. It was their mission to assure my wedding day was the best, and they most certainly delivered! I would recommend Brad and Justin in a heartbeat! You both are great! Very professional, kind, and excellent at what you do! Thanks again!!!

could have ever dreamed or imagined possible. I highly recommend them!!!

an we had imagined. They were truly a pleasure to work with and thought of every detail. We would definitely recommend them!

decide on our rockin cover band to picking out the cool flower centerpieces, both were there at ever step of the way to get it done. We can’t say enough of how great it was working with you! Thanks again for your dedication to perfecting our day. See you soon! dinroom and

recommended on a Monday at 5 PM. Met them the next day, looked at several venues, and made the selection. At that point they began handling every detail necessary in for moving a wedding to a new location that had different requirements than the original. They negotiated to help keep our costs with the venue change in line with our budget. Every detail no matter how small was taken care of. When we needed a vender, they had a one or two to suggest (they were not only very good they were very reasonable),and when we needed ideas for favors or guest welcome bags they had suggestions. They thought of so many simple ideas that really made the entire event so much more memorable. On the day of the wedding they thought of everything, a wonderful gal stayed with the bride to help with last minute needs and all of the running around with gifts, cake top etc. were taken care of. We could enjoy the event. They were amazing in less than 4 short weeks they took an overwhelming and daunting job and helped make it a wonderful event. I wish we had been working with them from the beginning!! They are the best!!! I would highly highly recommend them!!!!

e to hurricane damage and we had to find a new venue...on South Beach...on New year's. The odds were stacked against us for sure, but Brad and Justin guided us through finding a new venue and were so helpful in our time of peak planning stress. Justin and Brad were so fun and did a great job planning our rehearsal. Every detail was perfectly thought out from the busses, cocktails, down to the floral arrangements. Everything was perfect. At one point our entire rehearsal party were chanting their names on the bus back from dinner... Needless to say I would recommend them to anyone in South Florida!

ely manner. They are so detail oriented and thought of everything and more to help create our magical day. We couldn’t have had a better experience with them. THANK YOU!! We will be using YSD for my company’s corporate holiday events for this year as well.

and I live in NYC so when we went down to Miami to visit the venue we had chosen for the wedding we also decided to check out places for the rehearsal. Brad and Justin setup rehearsal dinner venues for us to visit in less than 24hrs notice and the choices were incredible. Ultimately we decided on the Faena and Brad was able to work out an incredible deal and we received a bunch of add-ons for no additional charge. We were unable to make time to visit Welcome Drinks locations and had to head back to NYC without a decision. Brad was extremely accommodating and visited locations for us and FaceTimed us so we could see them. He made great suggestions and we decided on an awesome venue that worked out perfectly for the event and of course he got us another great deal. Brad and Justin’s help didn’t end there though; they were present throughout the wedding and made sure everything went perfectly. If you are looking for a team that will take care of something before you even have to stay anything than they are the event team for you. It was incredible how they non-stop handled any situation that arose. I cannot thank these guys enough and you will be saying the same thing when you use them.
