    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!

When it was just the production team, maybe throw in the the musicians, it was okay, musicians are more outgoing, but I wouldn't put the word fun in with the party even though they tried really hard. But what you added in the Game Show Challenge, it was BIG fun! I laughed, and laughed. I really enjoyed myself! it was so good I lost track of time! I forgot about whatever I worry about and the troubles in the world faded away! It was great! I started thinking where could I use this, could I use it with my own company? could I use it with my family? could I use it to raise money in my non-profit? The answer was all YES. I could use it for team building, suggest it for this year's convention! I could use it at a BIG birthday party, I have a big one coming up!! I could use it for a fundraiser for my non-profit, and I could use it for a family reunion, that would be a hoot! This is the most creative thing I have seen this creative young man do. He is hilarious by nature, but this is awesome. Give it a try! You won't be disappointed. You won't.

I email and call a lot with questions and she was also punctual in communication and helpful with the many issues that arise in planning a big wedding. She handled the design of all florals, our invitations, wedding day decor, lighting, programs, down to the various minor details of the day... she planned, designed and executed them all. She executed the plan & coordinated our ceremony & rehearsal beautifully! The service was exceptional; everyone in our wedding party & all our family agreed that she was the star player of the day. She went above and beyond to make our day truly special. Our wedding was huge (over 300 guests and a 25 person wedding party) and she remained professional yet I feel I have made a new friend! She is the kind of person you want helping you with your big day, friendly yet effective. I would recommend Unforgettable Events to anyone desiring the wedding of their dreams without breaking the bank! She is efficient, effective and honest :) Please contact me for further info!

    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!

She was ready to go - had all the supplies - she breezed thru directing all the vendors and welcoming the bride and family as they dropped things off. 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.

Service was awesome, but like any music from you, the price was kinda hefty for drinks. Bud Lights, for example, were $5 each. But it is what it is! I Ubered here, so I didn't have to deal with parking, but I imagine parking might be a little hectic considering it's straight up and downtown Wilmington and there's no designated lot. But overall, this was a good venue and I will be back if there's a good show.

There is a parking garage very close and the parking prices are very reasonable. I highly recommend parking there. The interior of BN is intimate, small and kind of chaotic. I love the feel and vibe of the place. The drink list is rather small compared to most places but they pour a great drink. Bartenders were friendly, and worked timely. Bathroom lines seemed to take forever. The reason that I didn't give 5 stars is because the seating is so cramped. They have low seats, then higher chairs. If you are near the wall, it is almost impossible to get a drink without annoying someone when you get out. If you plan on getting up a lot then definitely sit on the side by the bar wall or in the back. Show was great and we had a great time.
