We cannot thank North State Events, and specifically Ashley Smith, enough for how they helped our…read morewedding come together and flow effortlessly on the big day. I am still in awe of how seamlessly our day emerged, how much peace and joy I felt on the day, and how supported and looked after I felt. I owe a HUGE part of this to Ashley Smith, who had our backs throughout the entire process, and was organized down to the smallest detail. We met Ashley through a family connection and had coffee with her months before we knew we'd be connecting again. I instantly felt confident in her from our very first interaction. In the months to follow, we would share texts and emails back and forth, and eventually began Zoom meetings to work out details and wedding timelines. We always left our meetings with more assurance and trust - Ashley thought of everything and had all bases covered. It is incredibly worth the investment to have someone dealing with timeline, transportation and arrival times, and day-of details. We worried about very little (besides the storm we just nearly missed!) on our wedding day. Ashley had the entire event running smoothly and on time, constantly checking up on family members and vendors to ensure everyone was where they needed to be and if they were doing okay. Ashley even checked up on us throughout dinner, seeing if we needed anything and giving us timeline updates. And when my somebody accidentally misplaced my father's reception speech, she came to the rescue! Seriously, we can't thank you enough for being on our team! And to anyone else needing a planner or day-of coordinator for your wedding, look NO further. Book her now! Much love, The Cummings

A few months before our wedding it dawned on me that we'd need a day of wedding coordinator. Most…read moreall coordinators were booked but God was good to us as Ashley (the owner) had a cancellation and our wedding date opened up so that she herself could coordinate for us. We are forever grateful for the stars aligning to get THE Ashley for our special day. She was absolutely fantastic throughout the entire journey. She was great about asking me questions I would never know to ask or think of. She recommended the best vendors to make our day so special. We had two different locations for the ceremony and reception which made things a little more complicated but she and Jen nailed it! Her genuine care and concern for our happiness was so evident and appreciated. She went above and beyond by doing things for us that weren't necessarily in her scope just to make sure nothing was dropped. We're so thankful for Ashley and her company. I cannot recommend her services enough!

VERONICA IS BADASS. Need a wedding planner? Look no further, as she and her team are your gals…read more She managed to pull everything together in the under 90 days of our engagement. That's right - from engagement to wedding in less than three months. Not only did she set us up with the best vendors (Wedding DJ, Special Times Catering, Dani-Lynn w/Allure Salon, the Palms, WeDoDesigns, and Billings Photography) but she helped co-ordinate the intros, the contracts, the payment schedule, and even several walk-throughs. Best part? She was there from start to finish on our wedding day. She made sure everything was "just so" with regards to decorations, she made sure the vendors were set-up and ready to go, and she walked the wedding party through their cues. I think the topper for me was when the venue was - proactively - setting up for rain for the wedding the day AFTER mine. Let's just say their preparations were going to detract from my decor. In a firm, but loving tone, she let the venue know that it was NOT appropriate for the Friday wedding...and to take it down. Which they did. Look no further. 530 Bride is your best bet.

My family and I collaborated with Rabina and her team to design each pre-wedding and wedding event. Not only did Rabina take the time to clearly understand our vision for each event, but she also offered her own creative suggestions. Ultimately, the decor on each day of the wedding was beautiful and distinct! On the day of the wedding, both Rabina and Nadia effectively coordinated all the vendors to ensure we stayed on track with the timeline for the day. Special thanks to Rifat for her support of my family and I on the wedding day! I definitely recommend WeDo Designs to anybody looking for a creative, detail-oriented decor experience!

I know…read moresome people wonder why they charge for the tasting but your getting a 4 course meal with wine... for pretty cheap... I want to say around 25$ per person but my memory is a blur after my wedding :) The tasting was awesome and fun so we picked them to cater and I am so happy we did. Over the next ten months they were on time with emails, text messages, phone calls all of it. They were fun to work with. We had our wedding at my moms house and Dani and Jennine came up 2 or 3 times before the wedding to get a feel for where everything should go, how it will all work. They always had really great ideas. The day of our wedding I really didnt feel like I needed to do a thing. The staff was really professional, and very sweet. Dani and Jennine really did a beautiful job with the table settings, all of it. The compliment I have heard the most from all my guests is "your wedding was so well organized" Which for a bride is such a wonderful thing to hear. A year of planning and their hard work and great communication with our DJ the day of was just perfect. The food was awesome. The CHICKEN.. soooo delish! and Mac and Cheese for the kids was awesome! (Digged into that the day after for my hangover..) mashed potatoes amazing! Their bartender was soo sweet I think we tried to get him to stay and party when he was done.. but he was professional too. I would 100% tell anyone to have them for your special day or any event! Thank you ladies you truly help give me a the day of my dreams ONE VERY happy bride!

I would recommend this company until I was blue in the face!

From start to finish, he brought the perfect party vibe and kept the energy exactly where we wanted it all night long. What really stood out was how well he read the room. He played music that everyone loved, across all ages, and somehow managed to get our entire crowd on the dance floor. The flow of the night felt seamless, the transitions were great, and the dance floor stayed packed because he knew exactly what to play and when. So many of our guests told us afterward how much fun they had and how amazing the music was. Logan didn't just DJ our wedding - he helped make it unforgettable. If you're looking for someone who will bring big energy, great taste, and a seriously memorable experience, I cannot recommend DJ Steele enough.

From the time that we first reached out until our wedding day Logan was amazing to work with. When our wedding venue burnt down shortly before our wedding Logan was extremely easy to work with in changing locations, and even offered up some other venue suggestions while we searched for a new venue. And then when it was forcasted to be pouring rain on our wedding day he came completely prepared to still party in the rain. He even played the song "Rain is a good thing" by Luke Bryan to kick off the reception, and I've never danced or sung so hard in my entire life, it's one of my favorite memories of the day. His playlist he had for our wedding was so perfect, several people commented that it was one of the most fun weddings they've ever been too, with the most dancing. Our day would not have been the same without Logan, he definitely brought the party. I would hire him again in a heartbeat, as well as recommend him to anyone and everyone!!

Ken and I had the pleasure of having Jessica as our wedding coordinator! She was friendly,…read moreresponsive, patient, and incredibly organized. Prior to the wedding, we constantly emailed her with our questions, and she always replied in a timely fashion. This made it really easy for us to plan since we always had answers to our questions quickly. We also had several in-person meetings to ensure that our wedding way was planned exactly the way we had wanted, and Jessica even brought up details that we forgot to think about or overlooked, which was really helpful! During the rehearsal, it was super hot outside, but she took the time to patiently provide clear instructions during the walkthrough so that all family members and the members of the wedding party were fully aware of what they had to do during the wedding ceremony. On my wedding day, Jessica was there for me the entire time, ensuring that everything ran as scheduled and that I was well hydrated and fed. As a plus, she's also an expert with bustles, which definitely came into handy since my bustle kept coming loose. If you can't tell by now, we loved working with Jessica and would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding coordinator! She truly went above and beyond, and our wedding day wouldn't have gone so perfectly if it weren't for her! We love you Jessica!! :D

JESSICA IS THE ABSOLUTE BEST…read more We asked our wedding venue to specifically assign Jessica as our Wedding Coordinator after having one in person meeting with her - we just knew it was a match made in heaven. She is extremely organized, detail oriented, and confident in her craft. Whenever we had a question or concern, she was quick to respond also never made us feel like a question was too silly. I changed my mind like a million times up until the very end, but for her it was never a big deal. The day of the wedding is where Jessica really shined. Everything went FLAWLESS, at least that's how we perceived it because whatever mishap there might have been, was taken care of on her end. On the night of the event, she took care of us so well, making sure we were fed, hydrated, and looking good! Jessica was literally like a Ninja, she camouflaged into the crowd and always showed up right when we needed her. My family says it's like she read our minds haha. Let's also talk about the fact that my family, friends, husband and I are one WILD bunch and Jessica handled us with such poise and grace (She was such a good sport). Till this day (6 months later) my family and I literally can't stop raving about how her. The only thing I regret is not making her our wedding planner - we know she would have done an amazing job!
