Awful customer service. I made a reservation for chairs months in advance of my wedding. I placed…read morethe reservation online but called many times wanting to confirm the reservation. I never could get anyone to call me back. After a few weeks I received an invoice via email. I paid my deposit. The next time I heard from Abacus was 3 weeks before my wedding, they were wanting me to pick up my chairs- they had my wedding date wrong!!! They didn't have any chairs available for my wedding and refused to give my deposit back. Thank goodness another rental company had chairs available...I had an awesome experience with their competitor in Portland.

I chose Abacus for my wedding because they were near the venue and had reasonable prices. I…read morereceived a quote from there website and had someone email me about a week later regarding specifics. They had poor customer service and took at least 4 days to respond to my emails, sometimes up to a week. I called twice and never got an answer or call back they would only email. When I emailed them two different people would email me back, one person told me they had six 8ft tables available the other person said "no we dont have that many so I just added more 6 ft tables to your order". Then when trying to pay my deposit they once again didn't return my email for a week and when they did they asked if I knew there were two different orders for banquet tables on my request, which was a change THEY had made. Sounds like they have poor communication skills with each other and with their customers. I went with a different company.

Sami was the best vendor decision we made during our wedding planning! We had a short 6-month…read moreengagement, and Sami was with us every step of the way. She gave us recommendations on everything from venues and caterers, to DJs and florists, to attire, songs and venue layout/design. Sami attended our details appointment with our venue to familiarize herself with our ceremony and reception locations prior to the big day, helped us establish a day of timeline, and maintained contact with our vendors. On the day of, Sami was on fire! She put out a small "tift" between my florist and cake baker, calmly handled a last minute change for our clean-up time of the ceremony location, confronted our DJ when we wanted different music played, decorated our reception ballroom beautifully, and frequently checked-in with us throughout the night to ensure we were happy and had everything we needed. At the end of the night, she organized the clean-up of all our personal items and rallied up family members to help get the decor boxes into cars. She also checked-in with us the next day to make sure we got everything! Our big day wouldn't have been the same without her organization and energy! Thank you Sami!

Overall the wedding went okay, and the reception was the blast, Craig was amazing. Only parts I…read morewish was different was more communication from the day of coordinator, we felt rushed, and missed out on a lot of my photos because we were behind somehow. I totally get it being a timeline for things but I would of rather gave up certain parts so that I could get photos I paid a lot of money for. The photographer and day of coordinator often bickered a lot, it made me uncomfortable. I also felt rushed to get out of the building at 9 even tho we had clean up until 11 I appreciated the hard work assembling the new tent since it was damaged, wish I was told before hand so I understood before feeling overwhelmed. But super thankful. Overall, I got married in a beautiful place. Thanks so much Ralph.

Emee was an essential part of our wedding planning and execution, start to finish-- she paved the…read moreway to creating the best weekend of our lives. We wanted an event that brought our community and family together to celebrate love, bikes, and camping in the stunning Columbia River Gorge, and it felt like Emee truly understood what was important to us from the start. There were so many tiny details she caught and helped us navigate. I particularly appreciated her calm support when we had a potential catering issue just three days before the wedding. She talked me off the ledge of worry and was willing to think through a full backup plan with me, before the issue resolved on its own. There were countless other instances of Emee handling things on the day of the wedding that let me, my husband, and our family just enjoy our time together. Thank you Emee, we saw your tireless effort to pull this event off for us, and we are so grateful for all of your work!

They were thorough, prompt, professional, and good at creatively solving problems as they arose. I would recommend EJP Events to anyone who is planning a large event - the experience was wonderful and my staff colleagues, supporters, and donors were all very impressed with the quality of our event. Emee and her team had great staffing at the event and skillfully coordinated all of our many shifting logistics for months leading up to the event. When we encountered obstacles, they handled them. When we needed to make changes, they cheerfully accommodated them. EJP has a "Can-do" attitude and they're both pragmatic and realistic about setting expectations while finding a way to get everything done. I'm so glad that we worked with EJP and they're at the top of my list for event planning in the future.
