Cassi Difasi says, “Vow to Clean was absolutely amazing for my wedding! From the very first conversation, Russell was so easy to talk to and made the whole process incredibly simple to set up. We got to hop on a phone call and discuss all things I needed help with for my wedding day (water service, table set ups, clean up, packing decor and loading my Uhaul). His team was just as kind and thoughtful they made the entire evening feel effortless and were so kind to all my guests. At the end of the night, they cleaned everything perfectly and packed up all of my dcor with so much care and nothing was broken. It took such a weight off my shoulders and let me and my family actually enjoy my night!! They came dressed professionally and ready to work! The whole team was AMAZING. Even my guests complimented how kind and great they were.I truly think everyone should use them for weddings or events etc. They were a 10/10, and I would recommend Vow to Clean to anyone planning a wedding or event!!!!”
Danielle L. says, “Had a small family party - Chrissany was willing to work with our budget and made a customized drink menu based on our likes! She also created three specialty cocktails. She made sure everything ran smoothly, and our guests had the best night.”
Rhuneisha F. says, “It’s been great working with Peter and the Global Guides team. We are planning our wedding and with having chosen a destination wedding in a place that we have never been, it’s nice to partner with a company that has familiarity and relationships on ground. Our family, friends, and even our dream wedding experience is dependent on Global Guides care and we are grateful to have their commitment to meeting our needs.”
LD V. says, “After consulting with Talia, I felt confident she would be our event planner. She is professional, organized, and was focused on what my son and his fiancée’s wishes were. Talia was with us from start to finish, decorations were perfect, she dealt with all of the vendors, and any hiccups along the way. As the mother of the groom, I wanted everything to be perfect and no one to feel stressed about anything that special day and that is exactly what she delivered and more. Talia is personable, organized, and professional…I highly recommend her for your event.”
Wanda F. says, “Her incredible team elegantly set up the room where the wedding took place, a separate room for guest to have appetizers while the wedding party took pictures, and they beautifully set up the reception room. Everything was absolutely breath taking! You would have never guessed that all this was planned and executed in 30 days. Everything about Annjoyable was done in a professional manner, she answered all questions, very punctual, eased every bit of anxiety, and the quality is top of the line. I would recommend Annjoyable to anyone looking to celebrate any memorable event!”
