She even had guests write library cards with advice. I loved reading them at 2am with feedings. Even the food fit into the theme. I couldn't have asked for a more glamorous and fun baby shower. I highly recommend Erin!

Finally got a chance to check out this event space! The lovely folks at Lupus Piedmont hosted their…read moreannual Mardi Gras Gala here and it's such a cool event space. From the outside, I would have never expected such potential. The large building is planted very near the tracks off of Tryon & Dalton - just a few minutes from Uptown. Now, I'm sure the space varies per event, but the folks at Lupus decorated it beautifully. Tons of tables, a large bar to the right, dance floor near the stage and plenty of walking around room. Plus, there are two old train cars outside the side doors that are perfect for additional entertainment options - the event last night had a fortune teller and a bones reader in these cars. Per Extravaganza Depot's website, it looks like they are full service event planning and execution company. Capacity wise, the site reads 350 seated and 600 standing and there are adequate restroom facilities and probably 200 parking spaces (total guess here). There aren't too many well put together venues in Charlotte that host these types of numbers, but Extravaganza Depot does offer a great option!

What a GREAT space for ANY party or event! Extravaganza Depot converted part of their warehouse into a venue for parties and events. It's a very cool open space with a back deck that has a GREAT view of the Charlotte Skyline and 2 train cabooses that can be used. Not only do you get a GREAT venue for your party, you get access to the thousands of their props for your party. The folks at Extravaganza Depot were extremely professional, courteous, fun to work with and did a fantastic job! I could go on and on but the bottom line is, Extravaganza Depot is an AMAZING venue for a party or event and they did an AMAZING job and exceeded our very high expectations! We could not be more pleased with our choice to go with the Extravaganza Depot for our very important event! We would totally recommend using Extravaganza Depot for your next event/party!!! THANK YOU EXTRAVAGANZA DEPOT FOR BEING A HUGE PART OF MAKING OUR EVENT/PARTY SO SUCCESSFUL!!!

We worked with Pink Petunia for our October 2012 and we loved, loved, loved them! You cannot find…read moretwo nicer individuals than Penny and Greg -- and they actually know about flowers! Pink Petunia was recommended by a friend -- and of course you should always consider recommendations from friends whose taste you love. The moment I met Penny, I knew that we would be able to work together. She is simply lovely and so approachable. Though she gets the budget question out there towards the beginning of the meeting, as a bride I more than respected that she was simply looking to manage my expectations. And manage did she ever. Our meeting was at the Pink Petunia Studio in Dallas, NC -- just 30 minutes south of Charlotte --and there Penny and Greg have a cooler, store much of their glass product, and grow their own flowering trees. It is as though you are witnessing the creative process first-hand. It is hard not too look around and be inspired yourself. Leading up to our wedding, Penny was amazing at communicating and making sure that we were always on the same page. When she delivered the flowers, and I first saw my bouquet, I started to tear up. I was so excited, and as the photographer was in the room with us, I insisted we get a photo straight away! I am certain that, though the wedding is over, my relationship with Penny will continue on. I would recommend her to any bride looking to find a floral creator who will "make your dreams come true".

Penny was very patient during our meetings and listened to my every idea and thought. She went above and beyond and worked with me to stay within my budget and never expressed any kind of frustration or annoyance when I'd change my mind for the 100th time. She was so kind throughout the whole planning process and truely fulfilled my dreams! Penny and Greg were on site at the end of the evening to remove their vases and candleabras, etc. This was a huge load off of my parents, and I am so grateful. Flowers are expensive, in general, but I can honestly say that Pink Petunia will treat you right and make your dreams a reality! Penny's work is gorgeous and totally worth the money! When my guests see me or my pictures, they're still commenting on the beautiful flowers from my wedding and reception. Penny is the BEST! A++

I absolutely recommend Charity and her crew at The Elopement Co. My fiancé and I decided to have a…read moreCOVID wedding and reached out to TEC late July, hoping they were available on 10/10/2020, and with love on our side, our stars aligned and we were in planning mode. I'll be there first to tell you that I am not the planning type, so this was right up my alley. A quick phone call, some emails and a shared Pinterest board and were in business. All we had to do was get the marriage license and decide where we would go for dinner afterwards. Charity and Megan are phenomenal! They're so sweet, professional, responsive, and have more resources than you could ask for. They are so accommodating, and even send reminders to keep you on track. I couldn't have wished for a better team to handle my wedding!! The first time I actually met Charity was as I was walking into the hall to get married and it felt like we were old friends. All of the details were perfect. The decorations, my bouquet, and boutonnières were absolutely stunning!! The ceremony was warm and intimate and our family and friends have still been talking about it a month later. We received our pictures today and I am blown away!! Charity and her team caught the essence of our love and brought me to tears. She captured the love and joy and I am so thankful we will have these printed memories forever! Thank you so much Charity and The Elopement Co. you made our PERFECT day!!

Charity is a A-W-E-S-O-M-E! Contacted her last minute so to say for a shoot and she was nothing but…read moreflexible setting things up. She makes "awkward" photoshoots fun and comfortable. For those who feel shy or uncomfortable in-front of the camera - like me, I like to be behind it rather. Her spunky attitude and up-beat personality makes you forget there is even a camera involved. She delivers what she promised. Photos are ready 30-days after the shoot and the quality of her pictures are nothing but consistent. Charity's skills and talent speak for themselves. Her visual signature is consistent and that is what I was looking for, as an Architect my eye is very critical on details like that and having a uniform portfolio directly relate values and quality of their product. She also offers cakes and bouquet services as part of their packages - nothing like a non-stop shop. We have not booked her for those, but if you follow the elopement company on Instagram, you won't be disappointed by what she can provide. Every detail is tailored to what you want it to be. Look no further for photography! The Elopement Co. is the spot to go.

From her perspective, Janet and her team, would be able to deliver an upscale presentation as well as tasty food at an affordable price. She was right! La-Tea-Da's is outstanding. I wanted Southern Style Good Luck Food with a twist for my New Year's Eve themed birthday bash and La-Tea-Da's offered great ideas. First, guests were met with a wonderful mini chicken and waffle appetizer as passed hors d'oeuvres. There was an eye-catching fresh fruit and cheese display set up as well. Since my entrance wasn't going to be until after the cocktail hour, Janet sent a sample plate of appetizers to my room along with the signature New Year's Eve drink she came up with (Sparkling Pomegranate Lemonade and Garnish - nice touch!). The main entree was set up as a buffet, where the La-Tea-Da's team served perfectly seasoned collard greens, Charleston Shrimp & Grits in individual petite cast-iron skillets, cornbread muffins, peas and rice and turkey meatballs. The guests loved it! My party was more than a month ago and folks are still raving about the food. Truth be told, I was even more impressed with the service. Janet and her team did everything they promised and more, including helping me locate my guest book and setting it up before my arrival. The staff was well-dressed and friendly. I was lucky to be their customer and look forward to using them again. God bless them.

Immediately Matt took the time to call me while he was in an airport after a conference to just help me out. Miraculously, my wedding date was free at the venue he works with and I was thankful to get it. Matt has been so calming. Understanding. And handled every bump and hurdle with grace. On the day of, Erica and Tory helped us out and when I say they were superheroes? I so mean it. They must have some kind of super power. Erica took everything head on and was able to get stuff done, looking beautiful, and handle any and every last minute situation like it was nothing (when I'm sure secretly it was stressful as all get out.) Tory was the sweetest person ever. She was so willing to just be there, do anything asked, no complains or issues ever. She had this power to be a calming presence and was so amazing beginning to end. Seriously they are the most amazing team of people I've ever met. They save our wedding to become the most magical day for us. We're so thankful and we can't gush enough. Thank you Matt, Erica, and Tory; for everything. We love you guys! -The Burgesses.
