Jennifer A.

My husband and I started working with Donaji in October 2018 to prepare for our wedding in April 2019. Donaji and her staff were wonderful to work with throughout the entire process, from the initial tasting prior to hiring Event Professionals through to the execution of the wedding day! All of Donaji's recommendations were wonderful and so appreciated, as I know how difficult it can be to dive into wedding planning and not knowing any contacts for flowers, hair/makeup, etc. Donaji was always available if we needed anything during the planning process, was extremely organized and kept us moving forward in a realm where we knew nothing. She had great options for the chairs, linens, etc. and made everything so simple for us to choose and execute. On the day of the event, her staff was prepared, punctual and made everything look absolutely beautiful! We were blown away by everything! In terms of the food and service the day of the wedding, everything was phenomenal, the prices were beyond reasonable and everything was set up perfectly! Our reasonably-budgeted wedding looked and felt like a million dollars! We are so grateful and would recommend Donaji to everyone to help to coordinate your wedding day! She's a wonderful, sweet person who works hard to make everything beautiful! Thank you so much, Donaji! And, brides, feel free to contact me if you need any recommendations/advice!

Our Wedding Menu (food was soo delicious we forgot to take a pic of it!)

Event Professionals, Donaji and her team are absolutely wonderful! The food was excellent and the coordination on the day of the wedding went smoothly. They definitely exceeded our expectations! My guests could not stop raving about how it was one of, if not the best wedding food they've ever had. We had asked Donaji for a somewhat custom menu touching on some of our heritage/favorite foods that aren't typical of a wedding and they delivered. From start to finish the wedding planning/coordination was responsive/professional and most importantly warm and friendly. EP was constantly in contact with us making sure that we were doing well and offering assistance for anything we might need. The referrals were excellent and absolutely helped us save on big ticket items like alcohol (think Costco but less DIY). If you are looking for a team that will make you feel comfortable every step of the way and you want to get the best bang for your buck then Event Professionals is for you.

Cheapest chair and table rentals in the area! Used this place for chair and table rentals, plus a few odds and ends, for our wedding July 3, 2011. A great place to go for the basics, with some nice linens options and some lounge furniture; They also have a contact for tenting and lighting should you need it. For the negative review who had a bad experience with her quote/communication, we were quoted everything we said we'd like to rent, and then trimmed down from there to fit our budget. As for customer service, true we sometimes sent a few emails or left messages, but that's pretty standard for any wedding vendor in my experience with the business. In our experience, they were nice, prompt, and were on time with pickup and delivery. They were also straightforward, courteous, and very competitive in their pricing. I don't understand why anyone would feel they weren't willing to work with anyone on any budget... it's simply not true. We paid under $400 for everything we needed for a wedding of 50 guests. What we couldn't afford through EP, we borrowed or bought elsewhere. No saga, no drama. They accept check, cash or MO only, no credit cards (but they do take cards as a damage deposit). Great for garden weddings, bridal/baby showers, or birthday/anniversary parties.

See all

Hi I would like to have information for a baby shower on 3/26?

They truly brought our vision to life and made the entire setup feel so special and personalized. The quality of the backdrop was amazing--beautifully designed, vibrant, and the perfect focal point for the party. We received so many compliments from our guests, and it made for the most memorable photos. We had many changes throughout out party planning process which I felt really bad for but Lisa and her team were so easy to communicate with! They werepunctual, and clearly passionate about what they do. You can tell they genuinely care about making your event feel magical. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking to elevate their event. Thank you for helping make our son's birthday so unforgettable!

From start to finish they were incredibly easy to communicate with- responsive, attentive, and truly listened to what I wanted. Lisa and her team brought my vision to life, and it was even better than I imagined. What really stood out was their willingness to work within our budget without compromising on quality or creativity. They not only designed and set up all the balloons, backdrops, installations but they also spent extra time helping me decorate and design the farmers market with the custom gifts I made and/or purchased for my guests. The entire process felt stress-free and enjoyable. Everything turned out beautifully and we received so many compliments. I am truly honored to be The Simple Luxe's first farmers market themed client and I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a talented, reliable, and kind vendor who goes above and beyond. If you have been following them on social media like I was and have an upcoming event - reach out to them and get a quote! You will not be disappointed!

She front loaded her fee, which I foolishly and naively paid. She did not deliver on caterer, or vendors. I found my own. She refused to be present during the event, and she refused to give me a refund. After cashing my check, things quickly went south. Her caterer couldn't cook the dishes I wanted served, so I found my own caterer. She was not happy with that, as planners traditionally get a cut from the caterer. The rental company rep showed up at my house without a price list, and Jordi and her told me how they were overbooked several months out and I needed to put a deposit down right away! ( Oct is not their busy season) I balked at their pricing and the quality I was getting for the $$ I was spending, and asked Jordi to get other bids. She refused, and even went one step further to tell me there were no other places that did lights and equipment ( false). I found my own. I ended up using another company that had superior products- shantung silk tablecloths, crystal stemware, and italian flatware and hundreds of feet more in string lights for less than half the price I would spend with Jordi's choice where I was stuck with cheap polyester, and low end flatware and glasses. We are talking about a difference of many many thousands of dollars. Staffing, Jordi sent an elderly lady in a footcast for the interview. She insisted that I hire two bartenders when there were only soft drinks and wine being served. She pushed exorbitantly priced appetizers which I didn't want. At each point I expressed my dissatisfaction. Then, Jordi then told me she wouldn't be present during the event, as she 'wasn't needed", and so I would have to use her "vetted staff". This was outrageous. Her choice was physically not up to the task. I found other trustworthy staffing. At this point, I fired Jordi, and asked for a refund. Jordi has refused to give me a refund. She has blatantly refused, despite failing to perform on every task. My party was elegant and beautiful, no thanks to Jordi. She caused me nothing but aggrevation. She didn't come through in any form or fashion, and she has refused to give me a refund.

Because of Joanna and J.Soiree, on our wedding day we were as stress-free as a bride and groom…read morecould be. We actually attended another wedding that Joanna coordinated before we were preparing for ours. Joanna was on our radar because that wedding party had high praise for her. We interviewed a couple other wedding coordinators during our search, but Joanna was the most organized and prepared, and the most enthusiastic of all. She gave us a great presentation and asked all the right questions during our introductory meeting; we felt at ease. Even though her fees are higher, the peace of mind is priceless. After we hired Joanna, she gave us a list of recommended vendors and a week-by-week to-do checklist, which made the wedding planning process easier. We were on our own for the most part, and at times we were skeptical whether we made a mistake hiring J.Soiree, but once the 8-week countdown began, Joanna was very active to connect with all of our vendors to make sure everyone was on the same page. She was very responsive with emails; my email notification was constantly going off with updates. We worked side by side to make all the final details that we didn't think of - like linens for the different tables, the drapery for the stage, etc. We were very much at ease. We definitely put Joanna to work on our wedding day. We were completely hands-off, and Joanna was running the show, and with flying colors. She created and followed a timeline detailed to the minute, and it went off without a hitch (that we know of). We were amazed and excited to see the whole event coming together, and more importantly how stress-free we were. All of our guests and even our vendors had a great time, and all praised on how well our wedding was put together. We couldn't take the credit, as it was Joanna who oversaw the event. So, thank you Joanna, for creating an amazing event for us that we will cherish for the rest of our lives together. Again, if you're looking for a wedding coordinator, with J.Soiree you can be as worry-free as we were and will be in great hands.

She has a wonderful upbeat personality & is everything you would want in a coordinator. Organized, detailed oriented, sweet, & positive. She loves what she does, which is important and you can see that. Having my own business I know how it is to go back and forth with details with my brides, but Joanna eliminates that and gets you the details before I even have to go through my brides. I love that. Less stress for the bride & makes it simpler for me. I love her!
