My husband and I had a wonderful time at the Mingle and Create event recently, making mini pumpkins displays using succulents, leaves and glue guns! The center supplied everything - pumpkins, and array of succulents, decorative items, working tables and glue guns - and even had treats and drinks. We had a great time chatting with others, admiring the other creations and getting more ideas for future creative work. Kudos to the staff who decorated the space and hosted us so generously!

A special shoutout to Amy, Union Kitchen and Taps event coordinator! Amy made the overwhelming process of wedding planning fun, easy and truly enjoyable. She is personable, down to earth, kind and radiated a calming presence that helped ease all the nerves that come along with a big event.

Our experience with DJ Ukeim could not have been any better! He was professional and attentive to our needs and special requests. We have a diverse taste in music and DJ Ukeim was able to get it all in. He helped guide us through the different ambiances for the cocktail hour and into the dinner and dancing portion. He was on point working with our wedding coordinator to keep us on schedule throughout the entire reception. His flexibility and easy going vibe matched our style. When it was time to get people out on the dance floor he knew exactly what to do. It was obvious he knew how to read the vibe of our guests. He kept the party going till the last song. We had such a great time!! Thank you DJ Ukeim for making our night so special!! We will always remember how much fun everyone had. Special shoutout to Will and Dancing DJ Production. You made the booking process so easy we loved how organized and helpful the planning portal was. - Gabriel and Felicia

Heather did an absolutely amazing job for my wedding hair and makeup. We did a trial to perfect my look ahead of time and she absolutely hit it out of the park. She not only made my hair and makeup perfect for my big day but my nerves were at ease. She even last minute incorporated a necklace my mom brought for “something blue” into my hair, and jumped in the help her apply her lashes. Heather was a pleasure to work with and I couldn’t recommend her enough!

We booked Conner and his live saxophone player for our wedding in July and they were a HIT! Conner has such an awesome portfolio of experience he is truly changing the reputation of what it means to be a wedding DJ. He does so much more. He mixes, he personalized the playlists to your specific liking, he plays absolute BANGERS, not to mention he has an insane lighting setup and is the best MC I've heard! Our guests literally cannot stop talking about it. I recommend him and his additional saxophone player to literally everyone I meet. Conner was one of the best parts of our wedding reception. If your goal is to create an elevated, luxurious guest experience, BOOK HIM! P.S. Our photographer said our wedding had the most packed dance floor the entire night that she's ever seen... only a killer DJ could do that!

  • Serves Encinitas, CA

I've been djing since I was 15 years old. I had a fascination for parties and events at an early age. I tagged along with my brother who dj'd at house parties back in the early 80's. I was hooked after seeing how much joy the music brought out in the crowd. I started buying my own 12" records, and it evolved into doing my own gigs: house parties, jr. high & high school dances, colleges, raves, underground parties, night clubs, weddings, corporate events, and so on. I started my DJ business in 1987, and have been honing my craft now for 3 decades. Thirty plus years later, I continue to love what I do. Now let's get the party started.

Carolyn was a god send for us in so many ways. We recently had a very DIY wedding with 120 guests, so as you can imagine there was a TON of work involved. Carolyn was with us every step of the way, from booking vendors, negotiating contracts, to-do lists, timeline and floorplans, you name it. But where she really shined is once we were there with her on the property. We had a million little details to think about and Carolyn was on top of it all. Many times before I even had to ask. She gave us the capability to actually relax and enjoy ourselves in the days leading up to the wedding, which we expected we would have had to be working the whole time. We were blown away by her hustle and work ethic, and even more-so, how she maintained a super positive attitude throughout it all. She was a delight to work with and helped us throw the wedding of our dreams. The same goes for her assistant! Amazing! There's so much more I can say, but just know, she is a true pro through and through and we couldn't be happier with our decision to hire her.
