We worked with Seacoast Events to provide draping and Edison bulb lighting for the ceremony and…read morecocktail hour spaces at our wedding. Although everything went smoothly on the wedding day, communication issues leading up to the event made working with this vendor unnecessarily difficult and stressful. On the wedding day, their team arrived on time and handled the setup quite well. While we didn't communicate with them much in person on that day, everything looked gorgeous and was ready right when it needed to be. They also returned that evening to take everything down without any issues. However, we had major issues communicating with Seacoast Events. Right before we were going to sign our contract, we stopped hearing from them altogether. We emailed and called them numerous times for almost three weeks with no response. We even dialed their extension to speak with the manager on duty, and never got a response there either. After we had one of our other wedding vendors contact them on our behalf, they immediately sent a generic bounce back message explaining that an employee was on vacation and couldn't respond to emails easily. The message also said to call the same number and extension as we did before to speak with the manager on duty, which of course did not work. When we did finally get a real response, it just contained an excuse to not send the contract because a piece of information was missing in our last message to them from before the vacation. At no point did this employee even address the fact that they failed to explain that they were going to be on vacation for four weeks before letting us sign a contract. Although this all worked out in the end, it was a difficult process. We were fortunate to have them respond to us and sign a contract just in time for the wedding, but it could easily have not worked out that way. If you are going to work with this vendor, then we would at least recommend reaching out to them far in advance, especially if it is for an event as important as a wedding.

Gotta say, I loved Glen. He made my night…read more He was one of the two dealers manning the Craps table during our event. I was a Craps newbie. Never mind Craps, I am just not a gambler. During my last trip to Vegas, I was out there for 2 reasons: food, and shows. Oh, and checking out the decorations at the casinos for Chinese New Year. Before our Casino Night party, I had checked out the wikiHow link on How to Play Craps that was kindly and wisely provided by our event coordinators in advance, and was utterly flabbergasted. I just could not wrap my mind around the game! I figured that Craps would be my nemesis, so I would just watch some poker, pick a few colors on the roulette wheel, and otherwise busy myself with Blackjack if I could count up to 21 quickly enough in my head. Screams of excitement drew me towards the Craps table. And after watching a bit and seeing how the dealer was helping my end of the table learn the game, I decided to jump on in, and was instantly provided with the starter set of chips each player was granted for the night. With no actual skin in the game, but with a real prize on the line (in addition to just beating the boss), I played, attempting to listen to Glen as he taught us the game - when and how to bet. When one player asked him how he knew how to pay off our bids so quickly, he also started giving out lessons on how to deal, during which, he would take over the bidding of the student's pot. I was the lucky third (or was it fourth?) student. And he was bold in his bids, which I carried on, matching his highest bids when I was once again responsible for my own chips. It probably also helped that I had no idea what the value were of each of the colors! As another attendee phrased it: I'm not a gambler, so I wasn't sure I would have fun. But we all had a great time!

Three of us went on a mini getaway this past October that centered around a few hours of exquisite…read morehorseback riding at the Martin Family Ranch. Our small crew included myself, my daughter, and my girlfriend. We were greeted at the ranch by the very hospitable hosts, David and Jessica Martin. The riding package included a delicious western meal prepared by David eaten outdoors where everyone knows that food tastes best! Jessica provided a very informative overview of horsemanship that refreshed my memory of being around horses and provided new information to the the rest of us who had a bit less riding than I had, although I'm by no means an expert. Jessica's knowledge of horses is amazing. We each rode on a horse that was hand selected by Jessica based on observing each of us in the paddock on horseback before setting out on the trails. The pace of our ride was comfortable enough for anyone with a bit more riding experience but not too fast for those with less experience. Our horses were beautiful and well trained. One thing that I noticed early on about the Martin Family Ranch was how CLEAN the barn and stall were and how loving cared for the horses were. I loved the fact while the ranch and its horses are a business with money to be made, the well-being of the horses at the ranch is of paramount concern to David and Jessica. We would love to go back to the ranch again some day for more riding!

The Martin Family Ranch is a must! I was expecting to learn a bit and then enjoy a trail ride, but…read morewhat I got from Jess and David was so much more. I'm writing this a few days after my experience and am still smiling. At first, I actually drove right past their property because it was so beautiful that I thought it was someone's beautiful home with well-kept grounds. Jess greeted me outside. We chatted a bit about what I should expect for the day. I was surprised when she said they had prepared lunch for me. When I say they prepared a lunch, I don't mean crackers and cheese on a plate with grapes, which is always lovely. What I mean is they grilled delicious meats, prepared potatoes, as well as a fresh cucumber and tomato salad! They sat with me at the picnic table and we got to know each other a bit while we ate. Jess decided which horse she thought would be best for me. I got Gorgeous George. She chose wisely. All of their horses are gorgeous. They look so healthy and vibrant! David and Jess believe in the importance of the horse and rider getting familiar with each other. To do so, you have to spend some intimate time with each other. I was shown how to brush the horse (for different reasons and with different brushes); how to clean the horses hooves; and how to walk the horse. To be clear, I was shown how to do these things and then did these things. Then I got to ride the horse in the ring. By the time I got to the ring, I was so much more relaxed with George than I was when I first met him. David determined that I was ready to hit the short trail, so the 3 of us rode off. They both determined I was ready for the longer, more challenging trail. What a challenging, but fantastic rest of the day! We had a 2 hour adventurous ride through the trails and waters. I'm not an overly experienced rider. I've only done trail rides, and only started doing those as an adult. I've done those trail rides in NH, TX, AZ, etc. This was like no trail ride I've ever done. The scenery is great, the instruction is great, and the people are great. They love their horses, and care about their riders having a unique, safe, and beautiful day. I cannot wait to return!

Everything that we ever dreamed of on our special day happened because of Tiffany and the Detailed Engagements team. The entire day went by without a single hiccup. Her meticulous organization and planning made it so we had the perfect wedding day. I am a super organized and particular person. I thought my wedding planning was going to be a breeze. I slowly realized that it is extremely time intensive to communicate with vendors among many other things. I wanted my wedding day to be perfect. Like many brides, I had many Pinterest inspired signs, decorations, and knickknacks. I needed to figure out a way that I could create this amazing wedding without forcing my family and friends to be at the wedding venue setting everything up hours before the ceremony. The term "wedding planner" was not appealing to me. I did not need someone to pick out my invitations or tell me how the tables should look. I was also on a tight budget and I did want to pay for something I didn't need. I needed someone to be there on the day of the wedding to put out all of the details I had made and coordinate with my vendors ahead of time. Detailed Engagements was truly essential for our wedding. Tiffany and her team were their for us throughout the wedding planning process to support us when we needed recommendations and to make sure we were on track. She helped make sure that our wedding was truly representative of who we are and what we wanted. Tiffany, we can't thank you enough for everything you did to make our wedding day perfect. You go above and beyond for your clients and that is clear. Have a magical wedding, hire DE.

I'm great when it comes to ideas but horrible at execution. I LOVE looking at Etsy and Pinterest but I don't have that understanding of how many of these banners do I need? Do I need these cake toppers? Who the hell makes cupcakes? Am I a bad MOM?! ... Solution: Melange Event Planners... I met the ladies who run Melange Event Planners some years ago while I was living in Medford, MA, and have had the pleasure of attending a number of events executed by them. Melange Event Planners, in conspiracy with my best friend and my husband, planned and executed a surprise "High Tea" themed baby shower for me last year. Thereafter, I attended another baby shower and a one year old's birthday party that they had also planned. The feedback from friends and Melange's execution leads me to reach out to them for all of my current and future party planning needs. They listen. They take the time to understand budgetary constraints, constraints of the venue, and are sensitive to specific dietary and other needs. Furthermore, they take the time to get to know whom they are planning the party for and what those persons would appreciate or want. They are happy to discuss ideas and nothing is considered crazy. They know how many banners, balloons, cupcakes are required. Furthermore, they'll help create the invitations/ the theme and provide you with all that is needed to make you look like (well in my case) "The Greatest MOM/WIFE/FRIEND ever!" The parties they create are definitely elegant. They're very good at settling on a color scheme and making things as elaborate or simple as desired. They are happy to give you a realistic idea of what you can do and for what budget. Finally, they're the nicest people and easy to work with.
