Mike from ACE was really helpful in helping our event be successful. We needed a day-of coordinator/event staff for our restaurant wedding reception in San Francisco. The job was to help set up decor/name plates, maintain timing of events, and other work as needed. Mike did an above and beyond job. We had two video calls to prepare where I could share the plan. And he gave advice on timing of when to start. He even helped with some photos and video, to supplement our photographer, which we didn’t ask for but was so appreciated. We are very grateful for his help and would hire him again.

Details: 51 - 100 guests • Decorator • Guest accomodation coordination

From the initial contact, all the way through the actual event, Mike and his team did an amazing job with regards to meeting all the facets of the event scope. From providing several great venue candidates from which to choose from, all of the options with regards to food, decorations, entertainment. etc., through the actual event itself, ACE did a great job meeting all of the requirements while staying within the budget. Mike was personally present during the actual event to ensure that all of the details were in place and that the event ran smoothly. I would definitely use ACE again for another one of my events!
