This is a REPOST, as I was threatened with a law suit if I did not remove my original post, which…read morewas soon after my daughters 5th birthday party. I ordered a Dora character, and she was 45 minutes late, when she arrived, her costume was wrinkled and dirty. The children were not engaged by her, and eventually I had to ask her to switch to her magician costume and carry on with that part of the show. Her cd player did not work, but luckily there was a sound system as the venue. It was a HOTT MESS. Then I received a threatening email. I was sorely disappointed, and felt bullied. I wont be removing this one. ...update...there was no trial

I was inquiring about belly dancers and the representative, Clare Ashley was rude and obnoxious!!!…read moreShe didn't provide freindly customer service and she was very short with me because she wanted to get off the phone! She didn't allow me to ask my questions and the website didn't have clear pictures of the belly dancers. She sent me pictures of the belly dancers but assumed it was for my husband and it wasn't even for my husband!! I would not use this service because my inquiry about the service was a terrible experience! The price of $150.00 wasn't reasonable for 15-20 minutes! I don't recommend anyone using this service and doesn't even deserve 1 Star!

She is so talented, she asked about things I would have never thought to consider and boy did it make such a difference! The guests were blown away by the attention to detail, the beautiful décor and how smooth the night went. This was our first time using Stacey for our event and we have already requested LEAD events to come back next year. Once you work with someone like Stacey, you can see what a big difference a true professional can make to your event. Great job!

It only took one meeting to know I wanted to work with NLED. After providing them with a brief…read moredescription of the building opening I was working on, Cory and Cathy came prepared with research and creative ideas so we could hit the ground running. The leadership of my institution had a large stake in this event and it meant a lot to me knowing NLED was completely invested in its success. We faced many last minute changes leading up to and even on the day of the event, but they seamlessly made everything fall into place as if we'd planned it that way all along. In addition to Cory and Cathy's great work, their team of onsite professionals put everyone at ease and were very well prepared to take on the challenges of the day. I know this speaks volumes to the organization and level of detail that goes into the events they work on. And the cherry on top is they made the entire process so enjoyable that no matter how hard everyone was working, we were always having a good time.

Last weekend was the first time getting to work with Mindy. I"ve always seen her around at industry…read moreevents and thought she was quirky and fun but only knew her for her as starting High Minded Events and not as a wedding planner. I met my clients from last weekend about 15 years ago when they were planning the brides mitzvah and the MOB (mother of the bride) kept my business card and called me ( full disclosure I think this is the most epic plug for designing nice business cards ever) She reached out to me a little over a year ago to plan her daughter's wedding. I normally do not take on planning clients anymore as we are simply too busy with multiple event decor setups every weekend and I knew this weekend we would have at least two if not three weddings so I told her that it wouldn't be in her best interest to hire us for planning so she hired someone I've never heard of (always a risk). Turns out it was kind of a S-Show for them and they had to part ways....several months ago my client told me they hired Mindy and I was so excited to get to work with her because I always see her out and she always has the best energy..... TAKE NOTE OF THIS WHEN YOU HIRE YOUR WEDDING VENDORS.... IT MATTERS!!!! Let me start by saying this.... MINDY IS OLD SCHOOL......So refreshing!!!! not many planners are like her anymore... My words to describe her are STEADY, LEVEL-HEADED, KIND, FUNNY, INCLUSIVE, AUTHENTIC AND EFFICIENT. She maintains the happiest mood while being completely engaged in what she is doing at all times. From the moment we started working together Mindy was F-ing amazing!!! She was so organized, and detail oriented while BEING KIND!!!!! not always the case for wedding planners these days.... She was an absolute dream to work with and I hope we get to do more events together and just get to hang out aside from work.. Hiring her is like hiring your best friend to plan your wedding.. they will move mountains to make sure your day is perfect. We knew from jump that she genuinely cared about every detail of the wedding from start to finish. If you are on the fence about hiring a wedding planner talk to Mindy and you might just decide that you need one... (EVERYONE NEEDS ONE) Derrick Taylor President TAYLOR&CO Events CHICAGO
