I cannot say enough wonderful things about working with Melissa at Knot Too Shabby Events! From…read morestart to finish, she was organized, thoughtful, and incredibly supportive throughout the entire party planning process of my husband's surprise 50th birthday party. Melissa handled every detail with such professionalism. Everything was clear and stress-free for me. Before I chose the venue, she personally took me to several options so I could see which felt right. She also met with me numerous times to go over ideas, decorations, and details, always making sure I felt confident in the decisions. She was also fantastic with communication, quick to answer every email, patient with all of my questions, and always keeping in close contact. Her advice was invaluable, and she thought of things I never would have considered on my own. Because of Melissa's guidance and hard work, the event turned out beautifully, and I was able to actually enjoy the night knowing everything was handled. If you are planning a special event, I highly recommend Knot Too Shabby Events. Melissa is truly amazing at what she does!

The bday boy ( 40 yr old) is gluten free and she was very accommodating. The great was so amazing. She was also able to substitute a few other things and was very flexible. Instead of " love" balloons we got "40" and just a couple other floating balloons. She also was able to switch the champagne for just wine. Got in the room with no problem way before check in.

They have several balloons, too. I really enjoyed seeing what they can create and I look forward to using their services.

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Katie Lange and her amazing team at Bubbly Events for…read moreour wedding on October 11, 2025, and I truly cannot imagine our day without her. From the very beginning, Katie was incredibly communicative, organized, and thoughtful, but what really stood out was how genuinely supportive and invested she was in making our wedding everything we hoped it would be. The very first question she asked us was what our priorities were...not anyone else's opinions or just a generic "vision"...and that set the tone for everything that followed in the best way. In the three months leading up to the wedding, her guidance became even more invaluable. She helped us navigate every detail with such calm confidence, always making us feel like we were in the very best hands. From table settings to lighting, DJ recommendations to signage - no question was too small, and no detail was ever overlooked. The week of our wedding brought an unexpected challenge, a nor'easter rolled in and completely changed our plans. We had to move our cocktail hour indoors, and what could have been a stressful scramble turned into a completely seamless transition thanks to Katie. She coordinated with all of our vendors, handled every logistical detail, and made the entire situation feel effortless from our perspective. Because of her, I was able to stay present and actually enjoy the days leading up to our wedding, which is something I'll always be grateful for. On the day itself, Katie was not only incredibly professional and on top of everything, but also so fun, warm, and full of positive energy. Not just me and Pearson, our entire wedding party absolutely adored her. She brought the best vibe to the day and made everyone feel comfortable, taken care of, and ready to celebrate. Honestly, I wish we could do it all over again just so we could spend more time working with Katie (and her really cute dogs!). She is truly exceptional at what she does, and even more importantly, she is a genuinely wonderful person. She made our wedding day feel magical, smooth, and completely stress-free. We cannot recommend her highly enough!

It's rumored that she walks 60,000 steps for a wedding. She was graceful, polite and seems to love what she's doing. I am impressed.
