Planning a wedding in 2 months is not what most folks recommend, but we did it anyway. Our wedding…read morewas 10/16/2021, and I found my venue in August. Ferris Steakhouse, Rocky River, OH. See my review of it. Mary Jane Ferris, wedding and event coodinator extrodinaire, sent me to Ferris Steakhouse for a venue. Then she connected me with Brenda, SociallyArtistic for all my flowers and decor. OMG Brenda is unbelievable! She worked with me and completely understood my personal, crazy situation of family etc. My daughter decided the colors for the wedding because she is a busy doctor and hates shopping. Brenda was so understanding and let me wait until my daughter told me the color of the dress she chose before we decided on our pallet. So cool. Socially Artistic delivered all the bouquets and boutonnieres to the church for the ceremony. She was there when we all arrived and pinned the flowers to the men and made sure all the ladies had their bouquets and corsages. It was a little hectic bug Brenda was like a rock in the torrent. I also got a wrist corsage for my mother-in-law. It was exquisite and perfect. My mother-in-law spent a lot of money on her gorgeous dress so I did not want to stick a pin in it. She loved her flowers. In fact, she has not had one word of criticism for the entire wedding and I've been her daughter-in-law for almost a week! I am just getting to the reception. Brenda and her team turned the party room at Ferris Steakhouse into a fairytale scene! Glorious hydrangeas an roses of every pink hue everywhere. And lovely candlelight at multple heights all around the room. There were candlelit flower garlands on the fireplace mantle and over the doorway to the party room. Every table was laden with small and large arrangements. Unbelievably charming!!! There was a topiary on the appetizer table that was magnificent. I told Brenda that I wanted twinkle lights and she delivered! Our reception was magical, thanks to Socially Artistic and Brenda's magic. Now I will tell you how easy Brenda made the whole thing. Really easy. Whether your wedding is in 2 months, or a year or more, call Brenda. You will be so happy you did.

I hired Brenda to be the day of coordinator at my wedding this past weekend and I don't know how I…read morecould have gotten through the day without her help. The first time I spoke with her she invited me to meet with her in person and made me feel at ease to choose her as my coordinator. About a month before the wedding, we met again to go over all the final details. She was extremely helpful in polishing up the last minute details, such as how to add some time to the ceremony. Any uncertainty I had, she had a solution, and a good one! She was very responsive to me during those days leading up to the wedding. The wedding was so well put together the day of. She helped coordinate and communicated our bridal party schedules. She was calm and comforting during what could have been a stressful time. She set up all of my décor in a perfect way. Everything was just perfectly coordinated. I highly recommend Brenda for your wedding. Although we didn't hire her for her full planning package, I am certain she would do a fabulous job on that as well. Thanks again Brenda for everything you did to make sure our wedding was perfection!

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.

Just flat out unreliable. I got a call the DAY OF the pickup saying that they were going to give us…read morebigger bases because they weren't sure how heavy our drapes were. I thought sure that's fine. They never told us they also gave us different size uprights than what we ordered. So, day of, we're setting up and uprights are way too big. We couldn't use a single piece of the equipment. I was very upset with how they handled it after. No phone call, just repetitive emails 2 days after I tried to contact them denying any mistake on their part. No following up unless I kept bothering them. They appear to be very disorganized and just downright don't seem to care about anything but getting their money. There are plenty of other rental business in the area that you can depend on but sorry, this is definitely not one of them.

As the mother of the bride, I wanted to wait before writing this review so I could gather my…read morethoughts and speak only about what I personally experienced. I had hoped to simply remember my daughter's wedding with joy, but unfortunately there were too many things that I witnessed that deserve to be shared. I was actually the one who encouraged my daughter to choose Posh Events. As a Black-owned business, I truly believe in supporting businesses within our community whenever possible. I was proud to recommend them, which makes writing this review especially difficult. One thing that disappointed me before the wedding even began was that our rehearsal was held on Tuesday while the wedding wasn't until Friday. I understand another wedding was scheduled on Thursday, but it would have made much more sense for our rehearsal to be held closer to our wedding day so everything would have been fresh in everyone's minds. My daughter spent countless hours creating a seating chart and even sent it to Posh Events to confirm everything was correct. That seating chart was never followed, and afterward she was blamed for there being "one too many tables." From my perspective, if there was confusion between the venue and the day-of coordinator, that should never have become the bride's responsibility. One of the most upsetting moments for me was seeing my son-in-law, who is sober, served champagne after staff had been been told multiple times that he does not drink alcohol. That request should have been respected without question. As dinner began, several guests came to me asking why they couldn't get drinks. I also noticed that the water glasses on the tables were never filled, leaving guests without water during their meal. Later, we learned they had run out of beer for guests who wanted it. The wedding party's meals had already been plated for quite some time before they were finally able to eat, and by then their food was cold. While talking with guests in the designated smoking area, I personally witnessed staff carrying take-out containers of food to their vehicles while our reception was still taking place. Seeing that while our guests were still being served and enjoying the celebration was disappointing. I also watched staff begin removing plates and napkins before many guests had finished eating. As the evening continued, garbage cans were brought into the reception area and cleanup had already started while guests were still dancing and others were enjoying the beautiful desserts that had been lovingly prepared by friends of the bride. When I asked why cleanup had begun so early, I was told they needed to get ready for another wedding the following day. While I understand venues have busy schedules, our reception was still in progress, and it left many of us feeling as though our celebration was being rushed so preparations could begin for the next event. I also witnessed the confrontation between Char and the bride. Watching a disagreement escalate on what should have been one of the happiest days of my daughter's life was heartbreaking. Situations like that should be handled calmly, professionally, and away from the bride whenever possible. Because everything moved so quickly at the end of the evening, we were rushed out of the bridal suite and the venue. We weren't given the opportunity to properly pack our belongings, change out of our formal clothes, or retrieve what remained of the desserts that had been generously made by my daughter's friends. It felt as though, once the reception ended, our family's celebration no longer mattered. I was also disappointed to read the owner's public responses afterward. Rather than simply acknowledging concerns, comments were made referencing "Black folks." As someone who intentionally chose to support a Black-owned business, I found those remarks disappointing and unnecessary. Professional businesses can disagree with a customer's experience without resorting to comments that reference race. Finally, I want to address the statements suggesting our guests were intoxicated or that someone was going to "jump" members of the staff. I was present throughout the wedding and reception, and that is simply not what I witnessed. No one was so intoxicated that they were unaware of what was happening. Those statements do not reflect the event that I experienced and only distracted from the legitimate concerns our family had. I do want to recognize LaCiana. Throughout the day, she treated our family with kindness and respect. She remained professional in every interaction I had with her, and I truly appreciated the way she communicated with us during a very stressful day. I believe it's important to acknowledge the people who do their jobs well, and I sincerely thank her for the care she showed our family. This review isn't written out of anger or resentment. It's written from the heart of a mother who watched her daughter spend months planning one of the most important da
