The website shows clear images and dimensions of their inventory and ordering online or by phone is very easy. I've even rented equipment just 24 hours in advance and it's never a problem.

You know if the venue is recommending a DJ they will be good, but Barry was so much better than just good. He met with us multiple times before the event to make sure he knew what we wanted. He set up everything the day of the reception. He had mics available for the toasts on one floor and the complete lighting/speaker setup for dancing on another floor of the venue. We had dancing for around 4 hours and the selection of music was perfect. Barry had the crowd up on their feet, was dancing himself, and created the perfect atmosphere. I have never seen a wedding where the dance floor was never empty. His prices were reasonable. We will be using him for any party we need a DJ at in the future. Thanks so much for a wonderful evening.

I can't put into words how grateful I am that Katie Wilgus was our wedding planner for our wedding…read morelast month. After our first coffee meeting, I knew she is IT. She is super dialed into the wedding industry and was able to easily rattle off recommendations for vendors that matched our style, wants and needs. I also found her to be very thoughtful, strategic, smart, and extremely calm, not to mention super experienced. And the proof is in the pudding -- if you look at photos of her events, they are so incredibly beautiful, put-together and stylish. We were originally supposed to be married in May 2020, and having to put off our marriage several times due to the pandemic was a huge disappointment. But Katie stuck by us through two rounds of rescheduling and helped us through it ALL. She understands events and the industry so well that even though the pandemic was uncharted territory for all of us, her knowledge and gut instincts saved us many times. She was always quick to answer emails and phone calls, and there was never a loose end on her watch -- she is so organized and focused. And we could always count on her to be super honest and transparent with her advice; if spending money on something added a lot of value or made a lot of sense, she would tell us, but she would also let us know where we could easily save money. I was happy with every one of her recommendations -- vendors, decor, paper goods, everything! I will also never forget the many examples of kindness and empathy that Katie showed us, including literally HOLDING a plate of cheese and fruit for me to eat from between photos on my wedding day! Her compassion and positive energy are honestly humbling. When we were planning our event with all these masking and safety restrictions, I was worried that after all this work and all these postponements, the resulting event was going to feel like a compromise. But our day was honestly perfect and stunningly beautiful, and a lot of the credit for that goes to Katie. I am forever grateful and would heartily recommend her to anyone planning an event.

The moment we met with Katie we knew she would be perfect for us. At the time of our meeting with Gather Event my anxiety was high. I felt like I had nothing under control and wasn't sure how I was going to handle everything, but by the end of the meeting I felt much calmer and confident that Katie would make our day run perfectly. Through the entire process she was cool, calm, and collected. Her team made sure every detail was covered, thought about, and managed. They helped create our wedding timeline and made sure all vendors were aware of timing and facilitated those relationships from start to finish. I didn't have to think about much during the last couple of weeks before the wedding and what a gift that was; to be relaxed and confident before the big day! I am so thankful we decided to have Gather Event Planning be a part of our day. I received so many compliments on how smooth everything ran, and how perfectly calm the wedding atmosphere seemed. That was all thanks to Katie and her team. I couldn't have asked for a better day. Do yourself a favor, and hire a day-of-coordinator and make sure it's Gather Event Planning!

I recently attended a wedding catered by Abbott Catering, and the experience was extremely…read moredisappointing. The level of professionalism, service, and attention to detail was far below expectations. The dinner service was delayed by 1.5 hours, and when it finally arrived, the plating and presentation were amateurish. The food was cold, and several tables were not served at all. The menu items were inaccurately described; the braised short rib was actually a pot roast, and the miso, blackberry glazed cod was overcooked whitefish without the promised glaze. Additionally, the salad service was inadequate, with only one medium bowl for a table of 16. When I addressed these issues with the caterer, he was not present to resolve the problems and instead blamed external factors. The dessert service, which was supposed to include two frosted cheesecakes cut on site, lacked any frosting. The coffee service was minimal, with only two carafes and no creamer or sugar available. Furthermore, the appetizers, which were meant to be hand-passed, were simply placed on a table without napkins or plates. I strongly advise against using Abbott Catering for any event. They failed to deliver on half of the contract's promises, and the most disappointing aspect was the lack of service, quality, and accountability for the subpar product.

On the day of the event, Alecia and team, including the owner, Justin, came to run our event. The set-up was amazing, the food delicious and they were so helpful and fun to work with. They also helped me find a DJ, Jordan, who was excellent as well. I would recommend Cornerstone to anyone who is looking for a fabulous company to cater their event!
