Thank you for providing such an extraordinary service and team. So many of our guests complimented and were impressed with these two ladies!

I can't say enough great things about Extra Hands for Your Events and the incredible support they…read moreprovided at our recent gathering in Southborough. From start to finish, Gigi and her team were absolute professionals--friendly, efficient, and deeply committed to making our event a seamless success. A huge thank you to Vanessa, Kelly, and Cindy, who were truly phenomenal. They handled every detail with care and precision, allowing me (and our guests!) to actually enjoy the party without stress. I received so many compliments from attendees about how helpful, attentive, and kind the staff was. Whether it was food prep, setup, cleanup, or guest assistance, they jumped in wherever needed--often solving issues before I even noticed them. This is event staffing at its best--a team that's not only highly capable but also genuinely enthusiastic and easy to work with. I wouldn't hesitate for a second to book Extra Hands for Your Events again, and I absolutely recommend them to anyone planning a party, wedding, corporate gathering, or private event. Gigi, you and your team are rock stars. Thank you!

Reached out for my husband's 40th bday. His best friend was in town and, given the pandemic, wanted…read moreto do something special for dinner. All 3 of us are pretty happy to eat anything, so I allowed Lisa to suggest a menu and her picks were perfect, like she knows us! The lobster fritters and the sauce they provide are amazing (I could eat them on the regular). My husband and his bro are from the south, so Lisa and I chatted about a brisket as the main course protein and I can confirm that they made a legit brisket (the bark was delish). I would recommend anyone looking to "go fancy" for an at home dinner, contact Tasteful Adventures!

This is the worst woman I have ever met in my life. She robbed me of my deposit despite the fact…read moreshe didn't do anything besides google things. I had to hire another planner who did the job in 3 weeks. I hired Veronica in May for my baby's birthday and 7 months later still nothing was done and she refused to give me back my money. She then texted me extremely threatening texts almost 3 months after my event to remove my one star review or she will sue me. She would then block me and then unblock me and continue to send threatening messages. This woman wants to keep her shady business practice behind wraps. She also threatened me about someone else leaving her a bad review. Her google reviews are mainly all one star reviews. She is the worst thing to ever happen to me. I wish I contacted the other party planning business before I came into contact with this evil person. I have included screen shots of her harassment. I have informed the police department and will take all legal measures should she continue to threaten and harass me. Her number is listed to show you she is the evil person behind these texts. Oh and she kept my money and did no work for what I paid her for. Keep that in mind. Google her. There is nothing but bad things written about her all over the internet let alone her google reviews. I should have read about all her unhappy customers and negative articles written To Veronica's comment: YOU are an absolute liar. I don't need to speak on whatever crap you're saying because a simple search of your google reviews will show all of the horrible reviews you have. If you google "blue ivy and Beyoncé" you can see articles of Beyoncé asking for a restraining order against this awful woman. Poor excuse for a human being! Literally everything she wrote in her response to my comment is a lie and don't entertain her BS! One simple google search will SHOW all her unhappy customers dating back YEARS!

Oh wow, where do I begin? VERONICA YOU ARE A ROCKSTAR!!! It's been exactly 1 month since our…read morewedding day at the SLS Hotel in Beverly Hills, so this is long overdue! Being in the wedding industry myself, I am extremely picky about who to entrust on our big day. Having a wealth of contacts to plan our own wedding, we undoubtedly knew Veronica was THE ONE for us! From our first interview with her she was on point, meticulous and had a back up plan for our "back up plan". She listened to our needs and wedding vision, kept me motivated and on time with my checklists and truly "got it". From day one I conveyed to her that we were looking for a "bulldog" day of coordinator/Superwoman that could handle a large wedding party (11 bridesmaids and 5 groomsmen), large family, out of towner guests and whatever drama might enfold. I wanted someone as detailed as I am, if not more but who truly cares and understands the entire process. We found all that in Veronica, and then some! Her attention to detail is above and beyond. She has her templates, checklists and timelines down to a science. The day of our wedding went off without a hitch (at least that I am aware of). That's what I call a GREAT day of coordinator. I was never concerned or bothered by things that came up because it was fixed before I even knew about it. She was there for us until the very end which was 1:00 AM and was so attentive and checked in on us often!! LOVE that! By the way, she's so much fun and had a blast singing/dancing along with her and our FAB DJ. Our family and friends fell in love with her as well, that I almost forgot she was my planner. :) In a good way that is. She was extremely professional but was so down to earth, she was like family. She's a friend for life!! I highly recommend her and her team. In conclusion: Do yourself a favor, stop looking and call Veronica for your big day!

From the first brainstorming session, we knew that Kristin and her team had the experience, connections and skill to plan an event that would pay tribute to the success of our agency. The event exceeded all of our expectations. Kristin and her team managed every detail from start to finish. They learned about our agency history and culture and ensured that it was represented throughout every decision that was made. She ensured that our agency branding was throughout the the amazing venue at Gillette Stadium and coordinated all signage, florals and decor. Kristin has impeccable taste and style. Our agency will forever remember this amazing event and we could not have done it without Swank Events!

Swank Events has produced summer and holiday employee events for my company. I always enjoy working…read morewith Kristin and her team: they have great ideas, are very organized, always meet deadlines, help me stay on budget and, most importantly, produce terrific events. Kristin truly goes above and beyond. For our summer party in 2022 at Gillette stadium, the bus company providing 5 full-size coaches canceled all our buses the day before our event. They had a shortage of drivers. We got a full refund but that didn't help with the need to get everyone to/from the party. Finding buses had been challenging months before our event and now we were less than 24 hours out. Kristin dropped everything and spent the entire day tracking down buses and cobbling together a transportation plan for us. It was incredibly stressful but she was calm and cool. She literally saved the event. On top of it, Kristin is a lovely person and a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend Swank Events!

I was a guest at a wedding here recently. The first red flag was before we even walked in the door…read moreas there were several doors you could walk into, none of them were labeled so of course we went into the wrong door... Once inside, the guests were shuffled through a few different rooms. It almost seemed like the staff didn't know what to do or where to put us.

The dance floor was more like a dance "isle" as the tables took up most of the room. The bar closed around 9pm, maybe even earlier with no warning. Im giving 2 stars for the buffet-style dinner being good, but that's about it.
