Wow!! My wife and I were so happy we chose PC Events to…read morecater our wedding last month!! The entire staff worked so very hard and did a wonderful job! From the planning that took place months before, to the day of our wedding itself, Kevin and his employees took care of every detail we requested! We definitely felt like we got the most out of our money with PC Events. They don't cut corners and really work to impress everyone at their events. The food was amazing! I'd pay top dollar to eat the same meal at a fancy restaurant. Kevin Porter was a pleasure as well. His love for Ohio State Football immediately bonded us. He might even love The Buckeyes even more than myself!!

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.

Event Source fulfills some kind of strange, sick need within my soul…read more I'm one of those people who daydreams about setting tables. Weird but true! In Event Source, I can play with the table settings to my heart's content. Whenever I have cause to be in here, I literally look at the options and try to dream up events where I can employ my fantasies. Those are some pretty strong feelings about tablecloths, eh?! Tablecloths, napkins, flatware, china, serving pieces, chairs, tables, the list goes on and on. You'd be really surprised what you can rent for your event! And boy, do I. For our wedding, I liked the linens that came with the venue, but we punched up the tables by adding a different napkin and a table runner. For the more "VIP" tables we changed out the tablecloth and napkin, and added chargers. Doing the whole room would've been a little too spendy, but with Event Source, we could very effectively make our wedding look above-ordinary. I also used Event Source when I hosted Thanksgiving for 22 people at my house. I ordered all the china (I have some nice china, but man, who has 22 place settings?), which was super fun because of course I went with something I wouldn't have BOUGHT in that kind of quantity. Gold filigree for everyone! (Also, bread plates, gold handled flatware, gold rimmed water goblet and wine glass.) Napkins and tablecloths, too. A plate is, like, less than $2 to rent. Totally worth it. The best part -- didn't have to wash dishes! Yep, ES asks that you return them "dirty" (we rinsed at least). Same goes for linens. Just put 'em in the provided laundry bags. Do you know how long it would've taken me to launder and iron all those table linens?! It may have never gotten done. You can rent things in sets of 10 (some other items may have different quantities... Ask!). Think beyond the wedding. ES is a lifesaver (and a dreamscape) for other events as well! Customer service is top notch. Next time you're headed to ES, can I come?

Kind of a mixed review. No surprises, everything looked fine, but just would have preferred more…read moreattentive service and better value. Pro: + Lisa agreed to meet up with us at the venue to review the space and plan out the execution which was very helpful. Not sure if this is standard but I consider this a pro. She seemed very friendly when we met her. + Lisa was able to bring her own ladder with short notice for setting up. + Lisa did exactly what we asked for at the time of hiring her, there were no surprises. Cons: - Value: We paid $1,300 to have 5 lines of string lights put up, a white background, and our own Chinese lanterns and garland strung up and torn down. We were told that assembling the lanterns would take too much time for her so we agreed to assemble and attach strings and hooks ourselves. It felt like we brought a lot of our own stuff and were doing whatever we needed to do to make the job easier for her. We just didn't get the service I would have expected for the cost. I really needed a vendor that would do things to make it easier for US. Also, when I called her to initially learn about her services, she said she could not do the work unless she had a full hour to set up before the caterer came. The room is 73 feet long and I thought that they could work around each other but she insisted that it would not work for her which put additional financial burden on us to extend time at the venue. - Communication: Lisa was very short in her emails which made me very uneasy about having selected to work with her. It came across as if she was bothered or too busy. Obviously her demeanor did not impact the final product but she didn't provide the client experience I would have benefited from as a nervous bride. Another instance of this was when we asked for a white fabric background to use as or backdrop for the ceremony. The concept is self explanatory but I was a nervous after only having a high level conversation about it and leaving the execution up to her. Wasn't sure what we were going to get draping style wise. I emailed her to make sure it at least would not be tied back and I didn't get a response. At that point My sentiment was that I would just accept whatever she was going to bring us, I couldn't spend my time following up on every detail with each vendor. Thankfully it just showed up at the event like I had asked. Nothing necessarily went WRONG, I can't say I wouldn't recommend her, but I would want to give someone a heads up about some things. All of these things can be improved upon and some brides may not ever have the same experience or may have felt differently if they had the same experience.

She completely transformed our space into three separate spaces, creating a different vibe for each area. A cocktail area with pipe and drape, ceiling lights. A dinner reception area with beautiful sheer pipe and draping tied back uplit with gold tie backs that were fabulous. Ceiling lights were in the reception area too, then once you opened/pulled back the drapes in the reception, you walked into a club/dance area where our guests could dance the night away. I have been to other events in the space that she decorated, and have never seen it look so amazing. I found her very easy to communicate with, either by email or by text. Very prompt in responding to my messages. She worked well with coordinating with the venue for installation, so that I didn't have to worry about a thing.

I reached out to several companies early one morning, and Mike was the first one to call me back - it was within an hour or 2, not 24 hours like some other companies. He said he had everything we needed. And he was right! He and his awesome team showed up the evening before the event, put the big tent up, strung up some Edison lights, put on the side walls, and set up the evaporative cooling units. Mike even came back the next day, 2 hours before the party started to fill the coolers with water and ice and fire them up. The next day, his crew came by again to take everything down, just like they said they would. From start to finish, it was an absolute pleasure to work with Mike and his Top Dog team! They really saved the (very hot) day!! I highly recommend them!
