Catrina delivered!!!…read more We contracted Catrina to coordinate our destination wedding from thousands of miles away, which required a lot of communication, and and fair amount of trust. The end result was *blissful*. It was exactly what we wanted to experience. Everything just seemed to fall into place and the extra effort she put forth on the little things provided an environment where we could be fully present with our family and leave our cares behind while Catrina and her staff artfully coordinated each phase of our perfect day. No notes. Keep up the great work Catrina!

I was able to enjoy my wedding without any sort of stress, which is shockingly unheard of. She's very kind and can't thank her enough for making my day picture perfect.

Alegria was great to work with while planning our wedding ceremony! She is very organized and…read moreprofessional, but is also fun to talk to! We don't live in the area, so our meetings were all via video chat, which worked out really well. She made sure that the ceremony was exactly what we were hoping for! She also arranged our photography, our dinner after the ceremony, and my hair and makeup. Thank you, Alegria, for making the day so magical!

My partner and I are SO HAPPY that we decided to hire Gala Events for our day of coordination…read more Alegria was such a blessing in our experience. I am getting teary even as I write this, thinking of her support. We are a queer couple who's wedding was postponed 2 years in a row due to the pandemic and a medical emergency in the family. We also had to change venues and caterer during all of the challenges. The path to our wedding day was not simple or easy, but Alegria's support and expertise made it all manageable. She was immediately responsive and loving about our concerns related to potential homophobia we might experience through our process. We never once felt othered or treated differently as a queer couple, something we are sensitive to. My spouse is non-binary and uses they/them pronouns, and Alegria was immediately honoring and respectful. All of this makes a big difference when you've experienced prior homophobia in the place where you grew up. And when medical emergencies and the pandemic kept throwing up big barriers, Alegria was the calm in the storm. She joined us in grounded decision making, was thoughtful and informed, and really demonstrated so much care during the hard parts. When we had challenges with our past vendors that we ended up not working with, she had such helpful advice. And on our actual wedding day, which was so beautiful and perfect, Alegria joined us in our vision of a big community celebration. She and her staff were so so kind and thoughtful, so supportive. They made us feel special while reducing decision fatigue and stress. She worked with our vendors beautifully, and the day of we were able to truly relax and be present. We could not have asked for better. Thank you, Gala Events!! xo Erin + Ames

I hired Datso Perkins Events for day-of-coordination for my micro wedding. She was absolutely…read morewonderful to work with! She even helped me solve a last-minute wedding issue, which was greatly appreciated. On the day of my wedding her assistant Tonya was on-site throughout our whole event. Tonya was on top of the details and was fun to be around to boot. I mostly hired them for day-of logistics, but their design work looks amazing too. I can't recommend Datso and her team enough!

What a fantastic experience! Did tea here for my friend's birthday and it was the best. They served…read moretea, finger sandwiches, and cookies/candies during the tea time and they had dessert after. They also have options to pay extra for champagne and wine. The sandwiches and pastries were really good. The tea was also really nice. We got to tour the house and it was really cute. The lady who owned the house was very knowledgeable and very friendly. She was giving facts about the area and the house. She was also talking about the beautiful pieces in the house. It was very reasonably priced and I really recommend you come here to tea time. You do have to book ahead. They are going to be expanding downstairs to a bubble room with sparkling wine and champagne. I will be coming back here with my family as it was such a lovely experience.

Stayed here for one night while driving to LA from Portland. I chose an interior room which has…read morewindows into the ballroom, not the outside. It was fine for one night but I don't know if I would choose the same type room if staying longer. The hotel has some history behind it and can be a little creepy if you decide to walk around at night by yourself. Our room was #16, located on the second floor. The room was a decent size with a sitting area with two chairs and a settee and a small armoire to hang your clothes. The bathroom was small with a walk in shower but the shower pressure was good and the water was warm. No air conditioning but there was an industrial oscillating fan in the room. Unfortunately, I didn't find the bed too comfortable and the headboard creaked a lot but it was ok for just one night. Taylor at the front desk when we checked in was very helpful and informative. We left early, around 8am and they had a complimentary breakfast available for guests consisting of bagels, sweet pastries, fruit, Tillamook cheese and sliced tomatoes and cucumbers which I presume are for the bagels. Cute spread!

This is a very historical property in old town Eureka near the marina. The building itself is very…read moreinteresting and beautiful inside, but felt a bit confusing. It is dark inside and smells "old". Our room was nicely decorated in old Victorian. It was overlooking the corner of 2nd & C right over the Irish pub. Everything was clean and nice inside. Bathroom was small but well stocked with supplies. The issue is more with the area. We took a walk after we arrived through the marina and old town area and concluded that we didn't feel terribly safe. We decided to stay in after dark. There were plenty of homeless and very "sketchy" people walking around talking loudly to themselves, etc. Know the rooms have no air conditioning so the hosts opened a couple of windows facing C street, which we left open all night, hoping that street wouldn't be terribly noisy. Fortunately, the Irish pub below us closes around 9:00, and the Mexican restaurant across the street was the same. By 9:30 or so the street was very quiet with only the occasional car and lone, loud motorcycle around midnight. Also there is no TV in the room, so bring your own entertainment! The WiFi didn't work either. We couldn't find the WiFi the hosts provided on check in. Overall, this area of town is trying to revive and the hosts are trying to bring back this hotel. Just be aware!
