Best Events

Excellent!

by lflier

After reading some of these reviews I had to step in, with a vendor's view.

Best Events runs an event like a well oiled machine. Both my husband and I have done work for Best Events. Jeffery's attention to detail is bar none. He hires the best and expects the best from his people.

He throws amazing creative parties and events as small as a 4 year old birthday with a go cart race track to a ginormous Sony party or a Premier that includes turning a pool into a dance floor.

As a vendor, I arrive in advance well informed and on board with any delicate situations like NDAs or celebs that want to be left alone.

Everything runs smooth and on time. Jeffery does not settle for anything less than a worry free experience for his clients.

Is he good, yes. Is he the best, no.

by Promogal

Mr. Best is good at thematic events but so are my friends who plan their 5 year old's Birthday parties. It doesn't take a genius to plan an event but it does take knowing the right people. Jeffrey is good but his arrogance isn't worth the price you pay when you are not an "A list" client. His team is often seen as being frightened of him, his attitude is visibly horrible, he has a propensity to comes in over budget, he tends to make "executive decisions" without asking the client, he refuses to show you a detailed breakdown of the final costs for auditors and in the end, the trouble is not worth the end result that you can achieve by using another popular event company. Yes, there is no denying he is a good event planner, but can one recommend him based on all the other faults, not really.

Had the BEST Event

by MatthewLarkwood

I oversee Special Projects Marketing for my company and have hired many event planners throughout my 20 year career. But the experience I received from Best Events was unprecedented.

Jeffrey Best and his team went above and beyond for me and my event. Their knowledge of the event world and their access to resources is second to none. My event was a huge success and my superiors as well as our clients were elated with everything they did (making me look like a hero).

I cannot thank them enough for coming thru for me on this event (and coming in under budget).

I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for an event planner (they even told me they do weddings and bar mitzvah's too, ha!)

Fake reviews below

by mBeam

The fake reviews were not only written on the same day, but the so-called "Reviewers" have each only posted one review on the Citysearch website - and guess who it's for?

I've heard many complaints from unhappy former clients of Best Events. Among them: they don't return phone calls, have trouble delivering - and make you feel terribly unimportant if you're not an A-list client.

It's this kind of manipulative behavior like posting fake reviews that typifies all the folks who've complained about his character. He was good for about a year and then he got really full of himself and went downhill from there.

Basically, he's just living off his old reputation and most who've used him in the past have moved on to other party planners who don't practice in such questionable behavior.

I smell fake reviews

by Melissa Anne

I work in the event industry and was scrolling through the categories. Best events is truly not a company that I would have guessed to have had so many brilliant reviews based upon the buzz within my industry. They are good, not the best by any means. If anything they are known for big promises during the planning stages and whatever shows up is what the event actually is.

Just notice that every review was written on the same day. Smells fishy.
