Out of all my vendors, Barbara was my favorite! When we first contacted her, she came to our house to do a "trial" of the items that we had chose from her menu. She cooked everything for us in the comfort in our own home which was extremely convenient for us. Everything tasted wonderful. Barbara was very polite and very professional, 2 qualities that are very important when you are shopping around for your wedding. The number one thing I have to say about Barbara was that she was EXTREMELY easy to get a hold of, unlike some of my others vendors. Also, I work 9-6 in the office so I was able to communicate with her via email almost on a daily basis. She always responded very quickly. She worked with our budget as well :) We basically told her what we had to work with, and she made it happen. She gave us plenty of wonderful ideas that we used. She was very very helpful. I have nothing bad to say about her and the company. The only thing was I wish I would of listened to all of her advice versus only some. Barbara knows what she is talking about! She will not steer you wrong. My wedding turned out beautiful and I wouldnt change it for the world. The food was awesome! The quality was fantastic and my guests loved it! If you are looking for a caterer, look no further PCS events is the way to go! Hands Down!

This was the best decision I ever made during my wedding planning! The food was delicious and Barbara is the most talented wedding guru! The cake was EXACTLY like the picture I gave them and tasted AMAZING! Barbara was patient with me as we changed things last minute and always got back to me right away, payments were a breeze too! Literally everything about them was top notch! If I had to do it over again I would choose pcs events again a million times!

My wedding was simply AMAZING thanks to PCS Events. It was more than I ever dreamed of. My husband and I were on a budget and they helped us to allocate our money to what was really important. They were flexible and accomodating. In the end, when I walked into the room I was taken away by how beautiful everything looked. Throughout the night, the staff was excellent. My guests gave us many compliments on the decorations and the food. This is not standard wedding food. It's delicious!!! I would recommend PCS Events to any bride that needs help in putting together all of the details of a wedding with quality service. From visits to the venue, tasting, flowers, advice on my budget and wedding etiquette, to help with the ceremony and logistics of the event, they helped with everything. Thanks so much! I really couldn't have done it without you.

First I have to say that I am someone who knows what I want especially when it comes to important matters like my wedding. Barbara from PCS Events totally knocked my wedding and what I had envisioned it to be completely out of the park. Her and her staff surpassed every expectation my husband and I had with gracefulness and without any hiccups. She is and was so professional with every aspect of this entire process and was so kind every step of the way. She went with the flow and understood that even last minute changes are all apart of coordinating weddings. I truly mean it from the bottom of my heart that we got extremely lucky when we found her. Our wedding would not have been as successful nor as beautiful if we would have went with anyone else and I know that for a fact. Her food was amazing! Not like normal wedding food, I mean 5 stars quality, top of the line, couldn't ask for more food. You can tell she takes pride in what she does and the service and quality of what she gives to her clients. She listened to everything we wanted and delivered without question. Totally worth everything we spent times some. She put everything she had into our wedding and I only wish she had an assistant during the process to help her out but even without one she completed everything flawlessly. When she becomes famous one day for what she does I hope she remembers us because I know one day she will be the one to beat if she is not already!She coordinated the entire set up of my wedding and it truly was the most amazing thing I have ever seen in my life. I am not just saying this because it was our wedding but I have never seen a better wedding then what she gave to us that night. I felt like I was having an "out of body" experience when I saw our set up for the first time. Words will just not ever be able to express how beautiful it was.Barbara will always be someone that we will remember forever and what she did for my husband and I. After everything she is really considered apart of our family now and I so honored to have had her in our lives. Love always!Jenna & Dennis Nash 11-6-11

The staff at PCS did a wonderful job for our wedding. They provided excellent service. Everything was done on time and just as I had asked. The day was flawless. They coordinated all of my vendors from music to hair, make-up and limo. Barbara guided me through every step of planning. Thank God for her. The food was delicious. When we did the tasting I was expecting typical hotel type food but they really impressed me. It's quality food and the portions are unreal. Thanks so much. We'll be in touch as soon as we have another celebration.

Wedding: 8/27/11
We were looking for something a little different when we came to Barbara at PCS Events. We wanted more of a celebration than a traditional wedding. We were looking for food stations, tons of hors d'oeuvres, Wow! decor and great service. A wedding with a modern feel with elegance and a few suprises for the guests. They sure came through. They created a menu just for us, specialty drinks, gorgeous centerpieces, lighting, performers, music. It was spectacular! Our guests had a wonderful time and we were more than happy. The food was delicious and the service was top notch. If you are looking for a caterer that will coordinate your ideas without all the worry of wedding planning go to PCS Events. We couldn't be happier with our wedding. Thank you!!!

My wedding was on May 28th, I contacted Barbara around February (4 months of prep) and since the first phone call I knew she would do a really good job. Barbara was very professional and responsive! S We had a cocktail reception with passed hor'dourves and a display food table. I had spoken to several catering companies before and no one was willing to do it, however, the word "NO" does not exist for Barbara, she tailored the packages just to what we wanted and was VERY reasonable with the prices. The food was delicious! The table display looked beautiful and all of my guest keep on saying how good the food was! and there was PLENTY of food!! Barbara has a LOT of patience, I called her about 20 times during the week of the wedding (including late at night) and she always had a great attitude and took a lot of stress off my shoulders. She even let me borrow the cake stand, the knife set, the ring pillow and the B&G toast glasses!!! Thank you so much for making our special date amazing!!!!! I 1000% recommend Barbara she is AWESOME & AMAZING!!! AAA+++

Barbara and her staff from PCS Event Productions were extremely helpful from the beginning. She took all my ideas and realized them into a beautiful night full of exquisite details. She provided detailed invoices every month and touched base with me to make sure we were on the same page. I fully trusted her professionalism and taste. She is extremely talented at what she does and I couldn't have asked for a better turnout. Thank you again Barbara and PCS!!Lorena & Brian

Barbara is amazing! She single handedly prevented my wedding from being a disaster. My husband and I waited until about 2-3 months before our wedding to really start planning. From the moment I spoke with Barbara my anxiety level dropped. She's so real and down to earth, and most of all comforting. The food on our wedding day was delicious and a huge success! The hor'dourves were so awesome that our guests ate them all while we were taking our pictures and we weren't able to get any...luckily we sampled them at our tasting. The prices, in my opinion, were more than reasonable and I feel we had gourmet food without the price tag you see with most other high-end caterers. Please trust me when I say do not look anywhere else for a caterer/ event planner. Barbara will not disappoint! If I didn't say it enough- thank you, thank you, thank you :)

The crew from PCS Events were amazing, everything looked beautiful and Barbara is probably one of the most easy going people, which I think is a super important factor in the midst of chaos. My wedding was outdoors and of course it rained, so we had to change our setup atleast 3 times, but even then the entire crew made sure to make this a memorable night. I loved everything about that night even the rain, I can honestly say I had the BEST catering team. They made my wedding a dream come true.THANKS PCS EVENTS!!

Barbara is wonderful and has amazing ideas and is not pushy. She did respond to emails and phone calls very quickly and had answers to all my questions. She is a caterer and planner in one. She planned out my wedding to the tee and it seemed to be perfect, until the day came. Every bride's nightmare happened to me and that is a rainy day with an outdoor wedding in December. Normally, it does not rain in December in Florida but I got lucky. Barbara seemed to panic and nothing got done because of the rain. My ceremony had to be moved into a small chapel that the venue happen to have and took an hour to take off. I was actually on time. The cocktail hour took almost another hour and a half to start because of the rain and when I arrived at my reception area the table centerpieces were missing, the favors, the candles, the cameras, everything. It was cramped all under a tent and everything was delayed by an hour. The dancing was cut down to barely an hour because we had a time frame and she and her team seemed lost and lost sight of things because of the rain. I understand rain does ruin things but as professionals they should be able to conquer all that. The food was delicious and my guests were very pleased with the food. But for a bride's special day it seemed like my wedding ended up being too much of an unconventional wedding for my taste and almost a fiasco. I was disappointed.

Barbara was great when it came to customer service. She was the only cater that I spoke to that came to me and not me go to them. She meet me at my venue and took notes on everything that I said I wanted. Anytime I sent an email to her she responded to it very quickly. We even had a private tasting and the food was great. All up until the wedding she was perfect. Then came the day of the wedding and well I don’t know what happened. Now the cake was delicious, but it wasn’t the cake design that I had sent her and the flavor was off too. I was very disappointed with the cake because if her cake maker couldn’t do what I wanted, then I would have gladly paid someone else to make my cake. The flavor was carrot cake and it was supposed to be cream cheese filling and we got butter cream filling instead which my husband does not like. I didn’t notice that until my husband told me because he doesn’t like butter cream. I had to split the venue room in two because I had to have the cocktail in the same room. So I had discussed with her that I wanted curtains between the pillars to separate the room and when it was time to have people sit down, the curtains where to be opened and tied back to the pillars. This would have made entrances between the pillars and people could walk thru anywhere they wanted. Instead I got shear (see thru material) material that was just tacked up at the ceiling. It looked tacky at the top because she just tacked it up like she did. And because it was tacked and couldn’t be moved like a curtain there was just one opening. Now the food was good but a lot of my guest complained to me that there food was cold and some people even got there chicken that wasn’t cooked all the way. My food which came out first was good but also cold. There are other things I can go into detail with, but it will make this already long review longer. What I can say that was good was her bartenders, they where GREAT! I don’t know what happened that day. I know there was a problem with the elevator, she had to use one and share it the florist and DJ but if she would have gotten there early like she said she would maybe it wouldn’t have been as bad. And we where even late in getting to the venue but I figured that would just give her more time. It looked like she didn’t know what to do and she had no control over her waiters. I know weddings are crazy but if you do this for a living you should at least be a little more prepared. I will say we did get some money back but not enough. I was really disappointed.

Talk about starting on a high note and ending on a low one. My relationship with Barbara and PCS Events began with nothing but happiness and excitement along with recommendations to everyone I knew and ended in a huge disappointment. I chose to use PCS for the flower arrangements. The flower girl pom-poms were practically destroyed. The flowers fell out of it and were all over the aisles! The bridesmaids flower arrangements could not have been more simple - I asked for white roses and that's exactly what I got. I could've gone to the corner and bought 2 dozen white roses and come up with the same look. My bouquet wasn't exactly what I asked for either and the same goes for the centerpieces. As for the reception, well, we all knew rain was bound to happen (even though I was in denial - it is my wedding after all). As a wedding planner and event coordinator, you prepare for this type of situation - you arrive EARLY, after all, "plan" is part of your title right?!?!?! Unfortunately, PCS did not. Their lack of preparation nearly ruined my wedding. One of my own family members had to miss the ceremony because Barbara was not at the reception site (a private residence) 45 minutes before the ceremony started so nothing was set up! How is it possible that the planner shows up to the reception site 1 hour prior to the start of the reception, while all the employees that are there have no idea where to put anything? As a result of their poor planning, the bars were not set up. There were no mixers available at the start of the reception for the liquor we provided and guests were serving their own drinks. Imagine how embarrassing it was to be told by our own guests. Then, when I addressed it with Barbara after the wedding, she denied it happening - as if my guests would lie to me about something like that?!?!?!? The tent was not set up either, family members had to go out and buy light bulbs for the chandelier, they had to move the tables and chairs, I mean, they might as well have worked for them. Oh, but yes, that was another thing that they denied took place. How can you simply not acknowledge that you dropped the ball? How can you blame the elements and the weather and not yourself for the lack of preparation? How is it that you don't offer a single apology? As a professional, you don't insult your client because of the way things turned out due to your lack of preparation. A wedding at a private home can be the most elegant thing in the world - the only way it would turn out like a "big house party" is because the person that planned it didn't do it right!The bottom line is they were extremely unprepared and probably bit off more than they could chew. For someone who says they only handle one wedding a day, it seemed as though there may have been something else going on the same day...that would be the only explanation.The only thing they got right was the food and their staff was very nice - that's they only reason I'm adding any stars to this review. Please think twice before hiring this company for any event. You run the risk of being greatly disappointed, especially since most of these reviews are skewed because all they do is ask people who are happy with them to write a review. I’m sure I’ll get some kind of unprofessional, no accountability response back from Barbara because after all, it wasn’t her fault, it was the elements.
