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!

We cannot say enough great things about Heather and Port City Event Planners. We were challenged…read morewith planning a wedding in a short amount of time, Heather not only came through, she knocked it out of the park for us.

They were looking at every possible angle to make sure the wedding went off without a hitch. At one point, I saw the wedding coordinator walk out to the street to motion a traveling bar cart to lower their singing as the wedding was going on. An Indian man, I didn't catch his name, was routinely walking around and asking everyone if there was anything they needed and insuring everyone was having a great time. He was super personable. The bartenders made excellent drinks and smiled the whole time. Good for them because my face would hurt from smiling that much. The event space itself, perfect for a small wedding, was beautiful and cozy and clean. I would definitely recommend hosting any event here!
