This is a long review but we encourage you to read it…read more Overall, our "Lasting Impression" is that the company was unprofessional and did not deliver what we paid for. JP, the President, was incredibly rude and awful to work with. We rented a large tent (40'x120'), dance floor, chairs, tables, glassware, etc for our 200 person backyard wedding. They created a digital layout for us, showing exactly where the tent poles would land and where our dance floor and tables would be. They also visited the event site twice to make sure the tent would fit there. JP visited the site himself and told us it would work. A crew delivered and set up the tent. They left large holes in the yard which we had to repair to avoid injury to our guests. They also mistakenly put an extra anchor in the yard which we had to ask them to remove. Many of the poles were crooked and the tent had visible stains. When the crew came to install the dance floor, we were told they couldn't install it as previously diagrammed by Lasting Impressions and as agreed to/contracted/and paid for by us. The floor installer commented on how crooked the tent installation was and couldn't seem to figure out how to install the dance floor with the tent poles in place. My father had to spend several hours working with the floor installer, loaned him a tape measure (since he barely had any tools) and helped him figure out how to get most of the flooring installed. In the diagram, the tent poles were shown to go on top of the dance floor. However, when they showed up to install it, they told us that the pole would have to go on grass instead. So, we had a dance floor with a hole in the center, another trip hazard for our guests and not what we had agreed to or wanted. In addition, due to the pole placement, we had to forgo an entire row of our dance floor, which we had already paid for. As for pick up after the wedding, there was no communication. We were originally told Monday or Tuesday, and that they would follow up with an exact time. We emailed and called JP to see when everything was going to be picked up, but never got a response. Instead the truck showed up in our driveway in the afternoon. Thankfully we were home to receive them. Afterwards, we reached out to JP to ask for a refund for the dance floor that his team did not put down for us. Not only did he refuse to refund us, he accused us of making his team wait for us to remove lighting from the tent (they were not delayed) and he didn't even apologize for their error. After a mistake that big, that's the very least he could do. Additionally, when trying to rent everything for the wedding, JP would send us quotes with items missing and inconsistent prices. In the few weeks leading up, we had to follow up with him several times to make sure that we did, in fact, have everything reserved. We had never received a final agreement or notice for final payment so we reached out to them. JP blamed us, claiming he had asked us for the signed estimate many times but never received it. We forwarded him the email where we had sent the signed estimate several weeks earlier, but he never acknowledged it. When JP eventually sent the final agreement, the prices had been raised from the original quote. We asked about it and were told that we were supposed to be charged for an extra delivery charge, so really we were still saving money.  The final agreement was also missing several items from the original quote, including the propane oven that was going to be used to cook our guests' food. If we had not double and triple checked everything, it could have been a disaster. Lasting Impressions was disorganized, hostile, and made promises they couldn't keep. They put their customers in an impossible position because it's too late to make changes or hire anyone else. The bottom line is - don't trust Lasting Impressions with your event, especially something as important as a wedding.

To begin, he is so personable and easy to work with. VERY professional. The set-up occurred while we were at work and I was nervous that the tents wouldn't be exactly where I wanted, but the they were positioned better than even I had planned.... they really know what they are doing. The set-up was SO solid. Tables and linens were great. Loved the padded chairs. I highly recommend Ronald Davidson and his crew. When it comes to this piece of your set-up, you can check that box, and do nothing focus on everything else for your event. HIGHLY recommend. Stephanie Proicou

Short version - not the experience I wanted for my daughter's wedding day. Bottom line - we paid…read moreapproximately $149 per person for a buffet meal where the food was on par with tepid, bland hospital fare. THANKFULLY, We we had great planners, a great DJ, and loving family and friends who made the entire event fun and light. If you decide to hire this company, here's some food for thought: 1) Executed Change orders are a MUST - and it's just good business hygiene -Make a spreadsheet of exactly is provided in the package you buy. -If you make "upgrade" selections, get the cost in writing, get an explicit change order (cost and quantity; even no-cost changes such as changes to the schedule / when food is to be served) signed by you and PC Catering Events and track as a line item in your spreadsheet. Working with young brides and families can be challenging - it's an emotional time and things can get lost in translation. You would think a wedding catering event company that's been around for 30+ years would know this. Being rigid up front is far preferred to being inflexible on the day of the wedding when unexpected time changes come up at the last minute. (Our event ran ahead of schedule, but because of the serving time on the catering contract, we had a 40 minute gap until they would serve our food (it was not yet warm when we needed it). Thank goodness the DJ got us up and dancing for 40 minutes while we waited. When the food was served, it was warm, but not hot.) 2) If you don't receive the final invoice from PC Catering Events by the T minus 3 week date, send an email requesting it (with a read confirmation receipt - or better yet, certified mail). We started reaching out to PC in late March / Early April and got no response until I called a number I found on google on 4/12 and Kevin picked up the phone. If they tell you they already sent the final invoice prior to the 3-week milestone (and to check your spam mailbox if you don't have it), ask them to forward the sent email with the time stamp from their Sent inbox. (I asked for this repeatedly and they would not send.) 3) Carefully scrutinize your spreadsheet from item 1 above against the invoice they provide. I asked repeatedly for a breakdown of the additional cost that doubled our event cost. Our package, base price of $31.50 per person for 50 people became $149 per person for 50 people (inclusive of plates, linens, etc.) for a buffet set-up (not plated). I purchased the alcohol separately - so this was not factored into PC Events per person cost. Once I think I have it figured out, I will attach to this review. 4) Add a tasting to the contract. It's worth the expense. Based on positive food reviews, I can only presume that little to no effort went into caring for the quality of the food at our event. I don't know whether the "warm" temperature of the food was a contributor to its overall lack of appeal. It looked and tasted like it came from industrial packaging purchased from Gordon Food Services. I had 3 bites of salad. The knives provided were inadequate to cut the beef tenderloin. The appetizers were dry and had to be covered in sauce to make it possible to chew and swallow. 5). While you should not have to do this - get confirmation directly from the venue that the catering company has submitted all required paperwork to have the event. We received a letter from our venue 2 days before the wedding stating that PC Events couldn't work on their site because they had not turned in the paperwork. He eventually turned in the paperwork, but when I asked Kevin to send me proof of reinstatement, he told me to call the venue myself. 6) Go with your gut. If you get to the final 3 weeks and you sense things are spiraling out of control - don't throw good money after bad. I could and should have moved the event to another community space that was available to me, ordered pizzas, pasta dishes, and salads, and hired a local bartender. It would have cost less than the additional $3,000 I had to pay on top of my existing $5,000 deposit. Incidentally, PC Events offered a $542 "discount" if my daughter and I would sign an agreement that neither I, my daughter, the wedding party, friends, and family would post any negative reviews about PC Events now or in the future in any form of print or media. (Basically they would pay me $542 for unlimited liability on me.) Since my daughter and I have no control over the potential actions of hundreds of people who could be linked to us, I had no choice but to pay the $542 to keep the event on the rails.

Worst experience with a company I have ever had. On 9/29/24 I spoke with Kevin because I was…read moreinterested in having them cater but he was unable to give me a price estimate on the phone. On that day he took down my card info but said I would receive an invoice/ contract within a couple days and after I sign I would have to fill out the card info again. On 9/30/24 my card was charged $2250 and I just received the money back after filing a chargeback with my bank. This has been an absolute nightmare where I have been bullied and threatened by Kevin/ Nancy for nearly 3 months. I immediately called Kevin and left a voicemail asking what that was for. He texted and said he was busy and that it was for my deposit. To which I responded I never received any paperwork. He told me to check my spam and I asked to speak to his manager since he said he was in a meeting for several hours. I never got any call and then later that night I received the paperwork. I saw the price estimate and because of how I was treated I was no longer interested in working with them. I never signed anything. Kevin said I would receive a refund in 10 business days or less. 9 business days go by and I follow up. I also follow up on the 10th business days on 10/15. No response from phone calls, emails or texts. I then left a negative review and filed a chargeback with my bank. That evening I received the below email from Nancy. I since took down my original review on the advice of a lawyer until the bank sided with me. To my original review they said I was a former employee and was lying. I updated my review to include screenshots of emails and texts proving I'm not a former employee. I responded to their email and didn't get a response until I got this email from Kevin. I questioned this response and told him I will not be signing a refund form because I never signed a contract in the first place. told him to send it over and I would look at it. I never received anything. On November 4th they must have been notified by my bank that I filed a chargeback. I received this email. My review was not slander it was the truth. My bank has said they haven't received a response from PC events. They tried to offer me another time to take my reviews down for a $150 Amazon gift card which I declined. And then we had no contact until November 18th when I deleted my reviews and they sent the last email. I never responded and finally the bank has sided with me.
