As a wedding planner myself - I always told prospective clients "the day I get married, I will hire…read morea wedding planner... it is crazy to think you can get through the day without one!" Well - I am a girl of my word. When my now husband proposed, one of the first phone calls I made was to Morgan at Spreading Lovely. Morgan is EXCEPTIONAL at what she does. From the moment I hired her, I already felt a sense of peace knowing that I had the best possible person in place to execute my wedding to perfection... Morgan and her team did exactly that. Morgan was hired for month of coordination services. From our first meeting it was clear that her primary goal was to make and keep me happy - I felt her genuine care and concern around every detail. She was so "locked in" at that meeting that it was clear NOTHING would slip through the cracks. Through the entire experience, it felt like I was working with an absolute pro and also a genuine friend. Morgan always had my interests and well-being in mind and knew exactly what to do in every scenario. Morgan went above and beyond the call of duty to make sure my day was special, flawless and exactly what I was dreaming of. I am forever grateful to Morgan and her team. They gave me the greatest gift of all - the ability to LET GO. As an admitted control freak and professional wedding planner - handing over your day to someone else to run with is scary. Well... not with Morgan at the helm of the ship. When the day of the wedding came, the unthinkable happened - I did not worry about a single detail. If you knew me, you'd realize what an insane feat this is. This is the true testament of Morgan and her greatness. If you are looking for a wedding planner that is equal parts professional, bad ass and kind - look no further then Morgan Miller!

Without a doubt, hiring Morgan to help plan our wedding was the best decision we made in the…read morethousands of decisions one is forced to make in wedding planning. After interviewing a ton of other planners and partial planners that all seemed to blur together, talking to Morgan was like talking to a friend. She has a calm demeanor, but you can see she has a passion for what she does and excitement she brings to all of her clients. That passion was evident throughout the entire process and her calmness was such an asset when any issue or stress-point would come up. The entire process was a joy, which I know is not the case in wedding planning so often. Morgan was able to create a design brief from our all-over-the-board style to a cohesive look and feel for the wedding that was even more beautiful than I could have imagined, but still felt so us. She helped us find rentals for what we could rent and pointed us in the direction for the cheapest options to buy other items which was so helpful. The end result was not only stunning, but more importantly stress-free for us and our parents which was the most important thing we wanted out of a planner. Numerous guests, after-the-fact, commented how all of us just looked so happy and stress-free. Guests pick up on that, and they were totally right - we were able to completely enjoy ever minute of the wedding weekend. Both my husband and I cannot say enough good things about Morgan. Hire her today - you will not regret it!

Over the weekend, my friends and I went to Mama T's to try her infamous fish sandwich, and I have…read moreto say--it was everything they said it would be! Not only that, the cajun fries tgat come with it are absolute PERFECTION!!! ‍ I think I paid about $18 for the sandwich and fries after tax. Mama T's is a tiny, hole-in-the-wall spot with just enough room to step inside, place your order, grab a drink, and step back outside to wait for your food at the curb. She sells a variety of things, including turkey burgers, wings, and more, but the fish sandwich is actually what brought me there. Mama T was so sweet, and she was in the kitchen working alongside her son, Terrence, who I believe does most of the cooking. The customer service was absolutely top-tier, and I'll definitely be back! One thing I noticed was how many people walked up and were disappointed to find out that the fish sandwiches had already sold out. I think she needs to create a sign to post when the sandwiches are sold out so that people don't waste their time in line only to find out once they get to the register. Nonetheless we got lucky as we were among the last few people to get one! With that, if I had to give you one tip: GO EARLY! I'd recommend getting there at least an hour or so before closing because those fish sandwiches definitely sell out. Overall, great food, great service, and definitely worth the visit!

I'm definitely be back!!! I woke up wanting a fried fish sandwich and googled to see what was near…read moreme, I'm truly happy I picked this place because this sandwich is beyond fire!!!

Aug 30 was my daughters engagement. We had rented the stage from Asha rental. Before renting I…read morepersonally had enquired in all possible places for the charges and availability of a stage for this particular evening. We found Asha rental v economical comparatively. Asha rental themselves asked us that they cud help us with the set up of stage a day in advance as the clubhouse was available for us by then. They did this with absolutely no extra charges. Unfortunately the clubhouse got booked for Aug 29 which we were not aware of and Asha rental guys who had come on Aug 29 morning , for giving us the extra day for preparations, had to carry back their stuff without being able to set it up for us. They had to come again the next morning. They did it all for us without any charges. Honestly, the bigger thing was they did all this with a smile... without making us feel guilty. We felt definitely were extremely uncomfortable for causing them inconvenience. But were more happier to know about Asha Rental Services Highly recommend this team !!

I sent them a drawing of my mandap design, and they procured the colors and flowers needed to match it. The second mandap was a last minute decision, and they hustled to ensure it was built and ready on time. Efficient, responsive, and diligent. Highly recommend them for your next Indian event.

Upon arriving to the floor, the place and atmosphere was really nice. The dj that night was playing rnb and hip hop. It started to get packed with people and it was good vibes all around. The staff and bartenders were friendly. They also have a station that provides hookah with a good variety of flavors and flavored straws. The rooftop was nice with a nice view. Limited and reserved seatings outdoor. Got pretty full of people. Positive experience for my first time. Would come back depending on who's doing their sets on the ones and twos.

There was a sip n paint night here hosted in early January with a fashion show put on by TrapxArt. I stayed for the sip n paint only, where we were given one drink ticket. My friend wasn't drinking for the month of January, so good thing they have NA beverages here. I also think their happy hour at Torch starts at 5, but I'm not too sure of how often this rooftop bar is open. Anyway, we sipped, we painted and we listened to music. My friend and I were also sitting outdoors on this rainy evening, but the rooftop was covered and the heated lights were in full effect. This sip n paint wasn't one where they gave instruction. Instead, they had drawings of artists like Nipsey Hussle, Aaliyah, TLC, Tupac, etc. I got lucky with the last Chris Brown one, but it was a hard decision between him and Nip. I opted not to mess up Nip. RIP. Now, for the food I was pleasantly surprised. I didn't know what to expect, though I knew they were serving food. You wanna know what it was? Gumbo! The gumbo was smackin. Only $20 and I ate about half, saving the rest for later. I didn't stay for the fashion show, but it was a packed event that started to gain more of an audience after 9pm once the sip n paint was over. I gathered my painting and my umbrella and dipped to Clio's.

It's really easy to give someone 5 stars when everything goes "perfectly." But sometimes it's when…read morethings don't go exactly as expected that one finds out who really stands out, and in this case it's Erin. To give some context, we recently celebrated our son's first birthday (which is a huge event in our culture) and the initial meetings with Erin were spot on. Her ideas, taste and vision were aligned with mine and I was so excited to work with her. After our initial "idea board" meeting I couldn't stop smiling because the details she had said she would bring to the party were so cute and unique and I couldn't wait to see them brought to life on the big day. Throughout the planning process she was extremely responsive, detail oriented, kind and just awesome in all ways. We also threw her the curveball of working with the schedule of two small children with their naps and she approached it with calm and flexibility. I should also mention that I'm an extremely picky and detail oriented person and lets say I put the "A" in type A personality and am a perfectionist so my expectations are always high. Having said this, on the day of the event the party's timeline, vendors, organizational details, logistics went smoothly. However there were a couple of items that we had discussed at the initial "idea board" that didn't happen and unfortunately they were related to significant cultural and family tradition aspects of the event so suffice to say I was saddened and frankly a bit shocked on what had happened. Mind you that the guests had an awesome time and it was a magical party and no one else noticed except mama bear. Usually at this point it would go downhill with most vendors, but I'm someone who likes to ask people "what happened" when things don't go according to expectations so I contacted Erin. First off, I could tell she was deeply affected and saddened and took it to heart that the event had not met my expectations. What I found impressive was her passion and heart in this party was genuine and she took it personally that I wasn't completely happy. Additionally, at no time was she defensive or coming up with excuses. She listened and asked without prompting "what can I do" and understood where I was coming from. We ended up doing a redo of the missing elements and while not a replacement for what I had wished happened at the party, it ended up being perfect. Additionally her professional conduct, authenticity as an overall sweetheart of a person and personal investment in her events speaks volumes. So would I use Erin again? In a heartbeat yes! If it wasn't clear, she has the most amazing style and taste that really is unique and personal. My husband is the rustic, natural type and I'm the whimsical, styled, elegent type and she was able to combine both. I also know that we ALL make "boo boos" for one reason or another and sometimes things happen and I know I wouldn't want to be defined by something that didn't go quite right. I know that Erin has been in this business since 2008 and based on her other reviews and what I did experience from her she is stellar at what she does but as with all things, sometimes something just falls through the crack and in this case it was some elements from our event. And honestly, I think we were that 1 in a million and any and all future events with Erin would be pefect :) But what defines someone to me is how they react/respond when confronted with it and Erin's response couldn't have been better. So 5 truly deserved stars for Your Event by Erin.
