About two months before my wedding, i broke down and hired Soiree. Our wedding event was a pretty…read moresmall gathering (around 60 people in total, us included), and I totally thought that I could handle it all on my own. Haha, I was wrong. I called Soiree and lucky me, they were still free for Labor Day weekend. I talked to Molli and Krissa, and they were able to lower their rate (since I picked a venue they knew well) that was within my wedding budget. They offer a great variety of services, and had I known sooner that planning a wedding required so much work, I would have totally hired them to do the whole thing from the start. Since I'm not local, most of our "meetings" and information exchange was done over the phone and via email (yay for modern technology). Krissa was able to coordinate and effectively handle all the follow ups and pointed out a lot of details that I had totally either forgotten or not known about. She was available to discuss my last minute changes and ideas and make recommendations for our wedding. Our wedding was a complete success. Most people have told me it's been one of the best weddings they've been to (definitely ranking high on the "best wedding food" list as well). I'm glad everyone had such a great time - and I know it wouldn't have run as smoothly if I hadn't hired Soiree. Even the smallest weddings require a lot of planning, and as a bride on the big day, there are many other things to be pretty and dolled up for - no need to worry with a great wedding coordinator!

We did the day-of package, which actually started two months before our wedding…read more They did a pretty good job organizing things and making everything run smoothly. I'm glad we hired them and I'm glad we spent the money to have a coordinator to take care of the day so none of us had to! The reason they don't get 5 stars is that the actual day-of, I had a hard time finding the coordinator. I was the bride, I was busy, obviously, but people kept coming to me with questions. Vendors, people involved in the wedding. I kept having to tell them "please find the coordinator." I didn't want to be involved in any of the logistics on that day, which is why we hired Soiree. It was frustrating having to tell so many different people involved to do this and that really irritated me. I also felt like I never saw the coordinator. I wanted someone to be on top of the timeline and coming to tell us when we needed to be somewhere for something (example: is it time to do the first look pictures, etc?). But that never really happened. I realize that she was busy coordinator all the behind the scenes stuff that I wasn't involved in, but some guidance would have been nice. I don't regret hiring Soiree but I do wish that they had been a little more accessible on that day.

I just called to see if they had the supplies that I needed and when I got Toni she let me know…read morethat she did not have what I was looking for and let me know where to get it and the ins and outs of how to use said supplies.

Toni from Purple Lily Events is THE wedding planner you should ever go with. When she did my…read morebrothers wedding, we were so impressed that we hired her too! We hired her for the whole package from planning, working with vendors, and organizing the day of the wedding. WORTH. EVERY. PENNY. She works super hard to keep things stress free, and her super sassy attitude made me feel super at ease, almost like just hanging out with a friend... a very talented friend! Purple Lily Events has worked extensively with many of the local vendors, and always knows who to call, regardless of what you want. Every vendor we chose told us independently that Toni is their favorite wedding planner to work with. If we ever plan another event, this is the ONLY planner we will call.

She is a huge help in all aspects of an event. Here are a couple stand out moments with Lisa Marie that set her apart from other event planners: Wedding tips: you think you have your wedding all planned out, but you will leave out some planning details and she will catch them! She has great tips about ceremony timing, how you should time out your wedding day, and the flow of the reception. Stuff you don't think about planning out or questions that you need consulting on, Lisa Marie will iron out those concerns for you. Our other vendors adored Lisa Marie and appreciated her thoroughness and willingness to help. This makes your whole wedding staff have a fun time working our event. This brings great vibes for the guests and the wedding party. She doesn't operate like her competitors, who can be sticklers on charging you for every extra thing they do for you. She is a good time. She turned into a friend during our wedding planning year. The whole family enjoyed sharing the weekend with her. She even acted as a "therapist", coaching me through the emotional times throughout the wedding week haha! She does her research on whatever you provide her with to fully understand your wedding ins-and-outs. Lisa has great taste. You can trust her to get your theme and design concept and make decisions for you to enhance your event! Picture below for proof:

We worked with Beth for almost a year leading up to our wedding. She provided us with a reasonable timeline, kept us accountable, and put us at ease. That was all leading up to the big day. On our wedding day, I was EVEN more grateful to Beth. She made sure the entire event went off without a hitch. She even picked up our wedding pies (no cake for us!) the morning of the big day! Beth was there every step of the way and this allowed us to stay present in the moment and not worry about day-of logistics. We weren't the only ones to notice the care and attention that Beth puts into her work. Our friends and family also commented on how amazing she was from start to finish. Thank you so much, Beth!

My husband and I had our hearts set on having a video game arcade cabinet at our wedding. When our…read moreoriginal plans fell through, I called Events Unlimited's Portland office and inquired about their availability. The phone call was quick and informative -- and we were able to arrange to rent the cabinet for the event, which was only two weeks away. The pricing was very reasonable, considering it included delivery and set up. Delivery was very prompt (they delivered on the early end of the window they quoted us) and they handled set up and pick up of the arcade machine without needing to interface with us at the event at all. I also found them to be very responsive to both our emails and calls. One small drawback of working with Events Unlimited is that they were not able to confirm final delivery time until the Friday before the wedding (the day before) -- because they had to finalize their delivery schedule. However, they did call us that day as promised and we were able to work with them to arrange a delivery timeline that worked for all of us.
