Her attention to detail was impeccable, and the theme was thoughtfully incorporated in each facet of the decor. The event set up was efficient and well thought out, with nothing unaccounted for. Brandy was a portrait of professionalism when directing balloon venders and caterers. She ensured everything was taken care of so all of the guests, including myself, had an amazing time. Truly the most amazing party planner I have had the pleasure to interact with. She makes the impossible look easy!

Brandy was not only brilliant in making my Halloween themed baby shower come to life, but she took away every ounce of stress that comes with party planning, met my budget requirements and allowed me to actually enjoy my day. I consulted with her during a visit in September and gave her the run-down of what I envisioned and what I got was above and beyond any of my expectations. Hands down the best party experience I've had, and that's even over my own wedding! She's meticulous and gets the job done flawlessly. Food was amazing, decor was on point, everything fell within my budget, and my guests were so happy. More importantly, I worried about NOTHING.

I LOVED working with event source to make our wedding design vision come to life. Katarina was…read moreabsolutely amazing to work with, and I appreciate her attention to detail! Their storefront is great to see each item and how they go together. I also loved the recommendations Katarina was able to make. I never felt pressured to rent more or go outside of my budget either. The delivery set up and pick up was pretty seamless as well (coordinated by Katarina and our wedding planner).

Event Source fulfills some kind of strange, sick need within my soul…read more I'm one of those people who daydreams about setting tables. Weird but true! In Event Source, I can play with the table settings to my heart's content. Whenever I have cause to be in here, I literally look at the options and try to dream up events where I can employ my fantasies. Those are some pretty strong feelings about tablecloths, eh?! Tablecloths, napkins, flatware, china, serving pieces, chairs, tables, the list goes on and on. You'd be really surprised what you can rent for your event! And boy, do I. For our wedding, I liked the linens that came with the venue, but we punched up the tables by adding a different napkin and a table runner. For the more "VIP" tables we changed out the tablecloth and napkin, and added chargers. Doing the whole room would've been a little too spendy, but with Event Source, we could very effectively make our wedding look above-ordinary. I also used Event Source when I hosted Thanksgiving for 22 people at my house. I ordered all the china (I have some nice china, but man, who has 22 place settings?), which was super fun because of course I went with something I wouldn't have BOUGHT in that kind of quantity. Gold filigree for everyone! (Also, bread plates, gold handled flatware, gold rimmed water goblet and wine glass.) Napkins and tablecloths, too. A plate is, like, less than $2 to rent. Totally worth it. The best part -- didn't have to wash dishes! Yep, ES asks that you return them "dirty" (we rinsed at least). Same goes for linens. Just put 'em in the provided laundry bags. Do you know how long it would've taken me to launder and iron all those table linens?! It may have never gotten done. You can rent things in sets of 10 (some other items may have different quantities... Ask!). Think beyond the wedding. ES is a lifesaver (and a dreamscape) for other events as well! Customer service is top notch. Next time you're headed to ES, can I come?

Erin had several wedding packages to choose from but I felt they were more than I needed. Even though I ended up deciding to pull the event together on my own, Erin went over and above to help me find an affordable venue. She is very easy to talk to and by looking at all of the photos of the events she's planned, it's obvious to me that she is exceptionally talented and will come highly recommended by me to anyone I know needing an event planner! Thank you Erin!!!

The more things change, the more they stay the same. It appears that some of the wall paneling has changed, but everything else felt just like old times. They used to have a large monitor on the wall to your left when you first walked in. I think it was about 200 inches, but then again, I'm exaggerating. All I know is that I wish I had it in my house! They even had game controllers set up for the ultimate gaming experience. That area has since been converted into an office, but the arcade remains, so the kids can still have an awesome time. They also still have the kiddie bowling, which today, and for the next few days, is free for children. The adult bowling lanes remain, as do the restaurant, bar, and outdoor volleyball area. The food is still just as good as I remember, and the service remains top-notch. We had a very pleasant server who took great care of me, my two sons, and my two grandchildren. As you can see from the photo I submitted, we ate like five adults! We had pepperoni and supreme pizzas, a Chicago dog, wings, tater tots, and sliders for the kids. Now, if you know me, you know I'm from the Chicago area, so if you put a Chicago dog on your menu, I'm going to test you to see if you're doing things right. They did indeed do things right with this one! The pizza was just as good as I remembered, as were the wings. The tater tots were delicious--nice and crunchy and served piping hot--and the kids absolutely devoured their sliders. All in all, it was an awesome experience and a reminder that I need to make the trip to Rule 3 more often. If you've never been here, you definitely want to check this place out, especially on game night. It's usually a packed house!
