The good: -Decor…read morewas beautiful for my two events and I was grateful. - Wide selection of things depending on your style The bad: - Liz was arranging bouquets for me (the bride) and all my bridemaids and family and she left them in another location. While we understand Liz had a family emergency it was unacceptable that there was no one to handle her business and we were left scrambling that day trying to find at least one bouquet for me (the last thing you want to do the morning of your wedding). The rest of my party walked empty handed and I didn't like how it looked. - she also asked for hotel rooms the week of the wedding which was never brought up until then and not in the contract. When it's the week of the wedding you have no choice and I didn't appreciate being put in that situation so last minute on top of other stress. She felt terrible and compensated us but as I look back on my photos months later it always makes me feel so sad that they're missing. Liz is nice but it was a BIG miss on my wedding day and I wouldn't recommend this business.

Do not hire Liz Decorations! We hired her for ballroom drapery at my wedding. She did not properly…read moresecure the drapery and it all fell down ONE HOUR before my wedding started. The incident destroyed my centerpieces, DJ equipment, and caused my wedding to start over an hour late. I have reached out to her for refund and compensation for the damages multiple times but she has completely ghosted me. She won't even respond to the insurance claim I have filed with her insurance. Avoid Liz Decor at all costs!

We recently celebrated my mother's 80th birthday at Spark by Hilton Germantown last Aug1, and the…read moreevent was a wonderful success. My mother was extremely happy, and our guests truly enjoyed the celebration. The event space is spacious and beautiful, with plenty of room for our decorations, dining tables, entertainment, and dancing. Since there was no other event scheduled that day, we were generously allowed to decorate in advance, which made our preparation much easier and less stressful. The kitchen area and available food warmers were also very convenient for serving our large group of guests. Dennis was friendly, professional, and very easy to communicate with. He clearly explained all the available options, answered our questions, and offered helpful suggestions throughout the planning process. Ariana was also extremely helpful. She assisted us with the room layout, open-bar arrangements, and room discounts for our guests. Her recommendations helped us use the space effectively and made the entire celebration run smoothly. We are very grateful to the entire team for helping us create such a beautiful and memorable 80th birthday celebration for our Nanay. We highly recommend this venue for birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, and other special occasions!

It's been 7 months since I married my husband, but my appreciation for the work my wedding planners…read moredid only increases as time goes by. Amber Karson and Emily Butler--who are twin sisters, by the way--took this ADD bride by the hand and created the most spectacular, meaningful wedding day imaginable. They were helpful for the entire year of my engagement, but they morphed from mere mortals into something truly mind-boggling on the day itself, shepherding every vendor, guest, and detail in the schedule. Since our wedding, a lot of our guests have come up to us and said something along the lines of the following: "I usually just say this to be polite, but in your case I'm serious: that was the most fun I've ever had at one of these." I'd like to pretend it was because my husband and I are just awesomely magnetic people who create instant fun in a 90-foot radius, but ha ha, no, it was entirely down to Karson Butler Events. Hire them.

My wife and I were traveling to D.C. to get married and were starting from scratch with the…read moredetails. We quickly realized we couldn't manage the process on our own and were so very blessed to have found Karson Butler Events. We loved every second of our perfect day and are so grateful to Amber and Emily for all they did to make it so special. They listened to us and were able to create an event that reflected who we are as a couple. We both agree that we wouldn't change a thing about our day and we have Amber and Emily to thank for that. If you are looking for a wedding planner, we highly recommend you call these two. Once you talk to them, you'll want to choose them to share in your day.

I can't say enough about Revere Event Planning and Design! They are amazing!…read more As a first-time author planning children's book events in D.C. from my home in Israel, I needed help.

My partner and I were incredibly disappointed with this vendor. While our family, friends, and…read moreseparate vendors helped make the day special, many key elements that were promised and contractually agreed upon were either incomplete, missing, or poorly executed. Examples include: Golf Cart Shuttle Service: Not provided at all on the day of the event. Barn Cocktail Hour Décor: Only three barrels were present with no décor, despite the agreed design. Firepit and Seating: Not set up or made available for use. Complimentary Champagne Toast: Not provided for the bridal party; instead, we received red wine well after arrival with no accompanying food. Bridal Gift Bags / Keepsakes: Only the groom's party received keepsakes. Starry Night Lighting: Absent entirely. Guests expressed safety concerns about the lack of lighting while walking in the dark. Ceremony Lighting and Décor: No lanterns at the ceremony entrance or chair rows; the ceremony tree lighting and décor were never completed despite assurances. Dessert Table: Our donut tower was missing, and the table lacked a tablecloth. Lawn Games: Giant Jenga, Connect Four, corn hole, and ring toss were not set up; this resulted in our guests leaving early due to the lack of activities. Catering and Beverage Issues: Several items from our signed and paid catering proposal were missing, and confirmed by multiple guests Planning and Communication Failures: We never received our meeting notes, which we were told would be sent by email. QR Codes for our wedding registry were not displayed. The guest seating plan we submitted - including full names and table assignments - was disorganized and implemented poorly. The first dance song was incorrect, despite multiple confirmations (two emails with Spotify links, one text, and one follow-up email outlining all music). The charcuterie board we were told would be provided was not provided to the bridal party. Random carpets were placed on the floor, creating a tripping hazard (my mother nearly fell). Additional notes: We were repeatedly told we had caused logistical issues - such as "messing up the table plan" - when the venue's own lack of follow-up (including missing meeting notes) caused the confusion. We were proactive and cooperative throughout the planning process, providing detailed music links, layouts, and confirmations. Despite that, we ended up managing aspects of the event ourselves, such as calling a table for dinner, opening dessert boxes, and notifying guests when dessert was available. We received consistent feedback from guests that the catering staff appeared irritated and dismissive when asked basic questions about food and service. This created discomfort among our family and friends, which is unacceptable for a paid, private event of this importance. This is not the experience we were promised, nor the level of professionalism we expected. Outcome: We requested a partial refund for the items that were not contractually fulfilled. Instead, we received an email detailing issues that we supposedly caused, no apology, and excuses for why our needs couldn't be met. On top of that, we were lowballed a refund amount that did NOT match the contract pricing. Our overall impression of Ol Fashion Flare is that the owner is that she lacks accountability, shifting blame and responsibility onto us (adding issues that weren't originally discussed), outright dishonesty, and lacks communication
