OCLA Events

John was amazing to work with from the first phone call to delivery at our wedding. He helped create a gorgeous event and was so flexible, attentive, responsive, and efficient. We had changing needs throughout the past few months and each time he was patient, communicative, and gave us exactly what we asked for. I highly recommend him and his team for your wedding and party needs. You will not get better service than you do with John. We knew he would deliver exactly as he promised and didn’t have to worry knowing we were in excellent hands!!!

I was looking for décor company to make my wedding day look the way I envisioned it. My reception was going to be in a pavilion tent and I needed it to look elegant with ceiling swags and chandeliers. I went through several vendors on
and
, explained what I wanted, and received quotes from most of them. John’s company was the one that gave me the most assurance that he can get the job done within my budget.
We had several emails and phone calls back and forth to get the exact picture then had our first in-​person meeting at the venue. He brought sample materials to show me and provided me with honest insights on how to make things look best in cost-​effective manner.
My husband and I had adjustments on the guest number until very last minute and John was flexible and adjusted our contract accordingly.
On the day of the wedding, John and his team arrived early to give ample amount of time to set up. They independently worked with the venue staff to solve any issues so that I didn’t have worry about a thing that day since I was preoccupied with many other things.
The final product was beautiful beyond my expectation. Many of the guests complimented how gorgeous the place looked and how impressed they were. Lighting for the guest tables created elegant and romantic ambiance. The chandeliers and high-​quality, sage green (my theme color) table overlay completed the elegant look that I was going for. My husband and I were highly satisfied with their service and will recommend to friends who will need décor for their wedding in the future.

When talent and dependability come together, you get the perfect formula. As an event producer, I am thankful that I have this with my «go to» team: OCLA Events. Once they are on board, the stress level dissapates and we are full steam ahead to the finish line. Thank you John & Jose. You two are awesome!

John and his company made our wedding a momentous occasion. We had to decorate and light and old house and he did it perfectly with a can do attitude. We were never worried for a moment. He understood what we wanted and executed flawlessly for a very reasonable price that was below all the competitors.
He was so good, my brother ended up using him for his wedding as well!

This is my first review and I’m writing it because John and OCLA are a great events company.
They helped my team host an event at the Petersen Auto Museum with an attendance of about 800 people.
They assisted us in the layout, rental furniture, kitchen and electrical setup. John and his team were total professionals. We couldn’t have been happier with their service.
John is very prompt, accommodating (did a lot of walkthroughs with us), and willing to go the extra mile to make your event a success. His pricing is also very reasonable. John is a very nice guy with integrity! Thanks John and OCLA Events!

OCLA is very hands on and will find what you need/​want. They are very good at communicating and always very timely. All things I need from a vendor and like that I can count on him.

John was a pleasure to work with! I had never hired a company for lighting, but now that I realize what a difference lighting makes I will use them for every party! The value was great, they arrived on time, but most of all my teenager loved the pink lights! John is very friendly and easy to communicate with.

John was amazing to work with from the beginning until the very end. OCLA Events were responsible for the rentals for my wedding in July 2013. John and the OCLA team also provided the rentals for my baby shower this past July. John is extremely professional, personable, detailed, and just overall a fantastic person to work with. John responded promptly to all of my emails and all last minute requests for my wedding. The showroom is amazing also with endless ideas, props, and setups. Working with John and the OCLA team was like working with family, he never hesitated on any of my requests. For example, I wanted a certain type of chair for my baby shower that fit my theme. John did his research and was able to find the type of chair that I requested which just proves how he goes above and beyond for his clients immediately. Don’t let the fact that it’s Orange County based scare you either, they do travel; my wedding was in Malibu. I was a very hands-​on bride, but I developed such an amazing relationship with OCLA Events that I knew that I didn’t have anything to worry about on my beautiful day. John and the OCLA team worked so hard on the day of my wedding, but I almost felt like they were guests as well because of this amazing relationship we developed. As hard as they worked, I hoped that they were able to enjoy the great food as well ;) You will not be disappointed with OCLA Events, most importantly John LOVES what he does and it shows. He plans all of his events and puts a ton of energy into them as if they were his own.

Where do I start? I remember calling John about a month and a half before my wedding. I had been trying to find a décor company that could give a special touch to my wedding. I either was told I had to spend a minimum or they couldn’t meet with me until 2 – 3 weeks out. When I called John and told him my problems, he was so happy to help me. We set up an appointment right away at my venue location! He was extremely professional. I thought I was going to come in and just tell him what I wanted, but instead gave me great suggestions and gave me his expert opinion. I had a walk through with another company and all they wanted to do was what they wanted and what will work for them. I did not feel this was with John at all. He immediately saw my vision and quickly put a quote together for me. We had another meeting at their warehouse and they spent a good amount of time going over all my options. I changed my mind about color and different décor furniture, and John was always there ready with another quote. John even helped me out the day before the wedding when I had a root canal and couldn’t go shopping for the candy bar items. A quote was quickly put together for me to rent cupcake stands, trays etc. Unlike other vendors that were asking for their money as soon as I arrived, John not once asked me about money instead told me not to worry about it and that I could take care of it later. A bride doesn’t have time to think about payments or money on one of their most important day of their lives and John made sure I felt no stress. When I arrived everything was ready to go. The ceremony area looked beautiful and the inside décor was everything I had envisioned. Thank you to you John and your team for an amazing job!!! I am already referring my friends and family to OCLA Events!!!
