“Booked with Diego for a birthday beach picnic but unfortunately needed to cancel due to a family emergency. He was so gracious to let us cancel and keep the credit for a future date. We rebooked for the 4th of July and everyone loved it! Diego was so kind throughout the whole process, very professional, and passionate about their work. He really cared and wanted to make the event special. They went above and beyond with the set up. Communication was easy, they came early to set up, and cleaned everything up so quickly after. HIGHLY RECOMMEND this company and especially Diego. Thank you sooo much for such a spectacular job and looking forward to working with you again!!”

“I cannot say enough good things about working with this amazing team for my Bridal Shower! Diego and the team were absolutely incredible, taking multiple introductory calls to discuss details and bookings, and their communication was exceptional. They were kind, professional, and truly put me at ease, taking away all the stress of event planning. Even giving me real time updates on traffic as they were driving over! Their website is full of information and inspiration. The picnic that I chose online looked exactly like what was delivered and set up. The team was prepared, organized, and quick to set up and tear down. They even provided helpful suggestions to elevate our decor for the tables! Seriously, they do it all. I was pleasantly surprised that they drove all the way from Temecula to Orange County. Highly recommend them for any event that you might be hosting.”

The set up was beautiful and customized especially for her. We ate a delicious charcuterie board while listening to the ocean waves. Diego even included a yummy cake. We had fun painting and played Love Lingual. My wife was very impressed with it all. Thank you Diego for all your hard work and helpfulness. You made the process so easy and helped make our anniversary special.”
