She has a wealth of knowledge around weddings and offer suggestions but leaves the decisions up to you. Plus she's incredibly sweet, fun, calm and professional. We mostly needed help with day of coordination, but Britt did so much more than that! She met with us several times to guide us through the process and make sure all the boxes were getting checked, and was always available and responsive when I asked questions (even via text, in the middle of the day). She executed our vision of decor perfectly, coordinated timing/details with all of our vendors, and we did not worry about a single thing that day, nor did any of our family members need to. We can't thank Britt enough for all she did to make our day run so smoothly!

If you are high strung and obsessed with the details, Britt will make you feel calm with how organized she is and is great and keeping you and your vendors on track. Britt became my therapist during covid wedding planning and now a friend. There are a lot of great wedding planners in Central Oregon but I assure you, Britt and her team are the best.

I came in not thinking I would find the dress and ended up leaving with 2 stunning gowns! If you are looking for your dress, I highly recommend making Bespoke a must shop boutique!

We ended up going with the "Day of Plus" package and rented some items from them as well. It was all money well spent and I have no regrets.

We started planning our dream wedding in January of 2019, and were quickly overwhelmed by the…read morebalancing act of navigating so many vendors and details! While we had been able to take on the early stages of planning ourselves, we wanted to bring in a professional for at least the day-of, so we could enjoy every moment of the wedding with our loved ones, stress-free. We sought out Leann's services in July of that year, with the intention that she would be our "Day-Of" coordinator for our July 2020 wedding. Fast forward to March 2020, and everything changed. To say that Leann has gone above and beyond would be an understatement. While a certain level of stress can be expected with wedding planning, the events of the past year have been, and continue to be extraordinarily difficult. Leann has been with us every step of the way during this unprecedented chapter. When we made the decision to postpone, Leann handled every detail, with professionalism and proficiency. She contacted every vendor, including our venue, and reported back to us so we could make informed decisions, without the overwhelm of the back and forth correspondence. This speaks to her organized, detail-oriented nature, and creative approach to problem solving that we have experienced. To every meeting, Leann has brought savvy expertise, guidance, compassion, empathy, and most valued, a sense of calm. She validates every feeling, answers every question, and truly understands our needs. My fiancé and I have now made the difficult decision to postpone our wedding again. While this has resulted in personal feelings of disappointment and heartache, Leann has never let us lose sight of our "why". She is there to remind us that our day WILL happen, and WILL be filled with the joy, excitement, and fun that we have always envisioned. And, once again, she has taken care of every behind the scenes detail. Throughout this process - Leann has taken the time to get to know my fiancé and I, and our families, and leads every meeting with our wishes, hopes, and dreams at the center. She has been both a listening ear and a steadfast advocate. Leann truly cares about her clients, and you feel this every step of the way. We truly cannot recommend Leann and her team at Shine Events enough - this was by far the best decision we could have made (aside from the day that we FINALLY get to say "I Do" ).

I always…read moredreaded the thought of planning a wedding because I can be very indecisive but Caitlin made the process downright enjoyable. Our wedding turned out to be far beyond my expectations and that is largely due to Caitlin and her team. I could say a million good things about her but some of the things that stand out the most are: -She is an excellent communicator and made us feel supported through the whole process. -She has strong relationships with vendors in the wedding industry. Each vendor she recommended to us was absolutely amazing. She did a great job of matching us with particular vendors that she knew would match our personality, style and budget. The team of vendors she brought together for our wedding day created the perfect event! -Her design style and taste is incredible! She listens to what you envision and comes up with a gorgeous, chic design that will blow your expectations out of the water. She has the ability to work with a wide range of colors and design styles so each wedding she creates a look that feels unique to the couple. She is especially talented at working with linen patterns and textures to create an elevated look. -She is extremely experienced, professional and knows the industry in and out. She is able to answer any questions you have regarding things like contracts with certainty and honesty. -On the day of my wedding, her and her team made the entire event run flawlessly. She kept me calm and checked in with me and my husband throughout the day to make sure we had everything we wanted or needed. Caitlin was everywhere at once. It was incredible and I don't know how she does it! I was able to fully enjoy my day because I knew that Caitlin had everything taken care of.

We did the Big Eddy Thriller - Bend experience with Sun Country Tours in late July -- myself and…read moreeight family members. Overall, the company was spot on: easy booking, great communication (clear guidance on what to wear, where to be, and what to expect), and friendly, professional staff. Everything ran smoothly. That said, the experience itself felt a bit underwhelming for some of us -- particularly those with prior rafting experience. The three main rapids were billed as Class 3, but they felt pretty tame. I never really needed the foot holds while paddling, and the adrenaline just wasn't there. Additionally, the actual time on the water was only about 40 minutes, which felt short. While Sun Country's website does state "Trip Distance: 3 River Miles - Approx. 1.25 Hours," it seems that includes the 15-minute bus ride each way. With five boats in our group, perhaps our group moved faster than typical -- but either way, it would help if Sun Country clarified this more explicitly to set realistic expectations. On the bright side, our guide Dillon was perfect -- upbeat, skilled, and made the trip as fun as possible. He was a total pro and truly enhanced the experience. Jumping in the water always feels amazing and unless you're really concerned about not being able to get pulled back in the boat, you should show off your best back flip or bomb off the side of the boat and enjoy the refreshing dip. In summary: This is a fun, family-friendly rafting trip, especially for first-timers or younger kids. But if you've rafted before and are looking for something more thrilling or substantial, I'd suggest considering one of Sun Country's full-day or multi-day adventures instead. For the $79 per person (plus tip) price tag, it might also be worth weighing other fun options in Bend -- like a round of golf or a great meal.
