I found Essig Entertainment at the Oregon Wedding Showcase in Eugene in January 2011. They had a…read morefour star review on a wedding website, unlike some of the other party rental companies with numerous bad or neutral reviews. After getting an estimate I was able to compare their prices with two other vendors, Green Eyed Girl and Parties To Go, and Essig came out ahead. From the very beginning, I found everyone at Essig to be friendly, helpful, and very responsive to my inquiries. I had an opportunity to go to their warehouse and see the tables, chairs, linens, china, flatware, and glassware in person and pick out the items I wanted. It was a very easy process. I made some changes along the way and the employees were friendly and accommodating. Delivery came on the Thursday before the wedding and the items were in great shape and exactly what I'd ordered. Better yet, the crew came on Sunday after the wedding and loaded everything up in 30 minutes on a VERY rainy day, allowing my in-laws to relax and enjoy a quiet day after a hectic week. My husband, in-laws, and I were all pleased with Essig, and I'd recommend them to anyone planning a wedding or other large event.

Horrible for business meetings - Pading of invoices - Beware!…read more We used this company twice for our A/V service. The guy that was on-site "sold" things to the speakers and added to the billing without approval, something called pading. It's false billing and we will be filing a complaint with the BBB as well. Not to mention they are charging twice what another company that provides this service as well. They are friendly, but it's a wolf in sheeps clothing. If you are a business I am sure you will know better than to go with this group. Stick to weddings Essig - stay out of business seminars. Terrible and shameful practices.

We got married on the coast of Oregon and Lisea and Stephanie drove THREE HOURS to us to cook us two incredible private chef meals (lunch and dinner).

I HIGHLY recommend Ginkgo Catering for any special event! Two unforgettable meals.

So I found Kari Renee Photography through an ad on Facebook. She was giving a promotion for $1,000…read morefor just her as my wedding photographer and a 2nd photographer for about another $500. I also paid an additional $200 to have her come a couple hours sooner to take some pictures during my traditional string ceremony we have before the church service. This is a very great deal for two photographers and after reviewing her website: https://www.karireneephotography.com/ the pictures looks great to me so I got her booked. Throughout the month, we have communicated to ensure we are both on the same page and she had me send her a schedule of everything that we need the photographer. The day PRIOR to my wedding, she said she had a family emergency and cannot make it to the wedding, but per contract, she found a replacement. To me, that was fine about finding a replacement and I understand there being a family emergency, but I asked her if the replacement is still able to arrive a couple hours early to take pictures during my string ceremony since I paid her already and she wasn't sure. I asked if the 2nd photographer is able to attend early and she advised she hasn't secured a 2nd photographer but she is working on it! This really got me stressed as the 2nd photographer is not secured and now I may not be able to have a photographer for my string ceremony...I consistently checked my messages throughout the day as I'm preparing for my wedding and finally I get a message to confirm a photographer can attend my string ceremony and a 2nd photographer is secured! She asked me for the wedding day schedule again so I resend it, not a big deal... The day of my wedding, the photographer did show up for the string ceremony, and I asked the replacement photographer if she will be there for the ceremony at the church which she said yes. After the ceremony, I realized NO PHOTOGRAPHER SHOWED UP! I was very upset as I had my mom and grandma involved during the ceremony and I wanted to get some professional pictures of them as my grandma is starting to lose her memory! I was very upset about this as I now have not gotten any professional pictures during my entire ceremony even though I confirmed with the photographer that she would be there about an hour prior before the start of the ceremony! I messaged Karee about this and checked up on it and said there was a miscommunication with the photographers! She said the replacement photographer will "make it up" to me by working from 3-9pm at the reception instead of 3-7pm which I was confused about because I have paid to have both photographers there for the entire reception until 9pm...I was already going through so many stress during my wedding and that I didn't care to argue...I told my other friends about my experience who are photographers and all of them advised that if they made a mistake this big of missing my wedding, that they would reimburse me which I wasn't offered any type of compensation at all. I also found out that it was the 2nd photographer that should have been the one to take my wedding pictures and not the 1st photographer... Fast forward months later, Karee offered me a free photoshoot for anywhere I like and I assumed it was to make up for a photographer missing my wedding ceremony. I gladly accepted and asked if I can actually gift it to my friend who is pregnant to do a maternity and new born photoshoot. Karee advised those shoots require more work so there will be a fee but the offer was $400 which was an amazing deal but my friend would have to drive from Vancouver, WA to Eugene to do the shoot which my friend accepted. My friend booked a hotel, bought the maternity outfit, and had everything planned to go pick up her daughter. Then on the day of the shoot, my friend calls me crying and advised that Kari cancelled a few hours before her shoot! Before the shoot, my friend said Kari asked if she is able to change the photoshoot date as it was her birthday...my friend said she cannot change it as she needed the shoot be on that specific date she wanted (which is why I confirmed prior before giving Kari contact information to my friend if she was available to do it...) Even with the bad experience though, my wedding pictures turned out to be amazing; but it would just be if you would like to take a chance on somebody cancelling on you last minute or nobody showing up.

Not only did she go above and beyond to make sure that all my photos on our special day were perfect she also helped keep the focus on my husband and myself. extremely positive, sweet, kind, caring, and empathetic individual. If you want the perfect photos on your perfect day, she is definitely the person to go with! Anytime I ever get professional photography done going forward I will make sure to reach out to her. She was willing to commute to our location and she never made me feel like anything other than the center of attention. My husband and I rave about her to everyone we talk to. we put our trust in her for our special day, and we're blown away with the amazing results. We hope that you do the same!

I didn't realize that we also got essentially a day of coordinator - Irene was incredible!! She made all announcements and communicated with me throughout the day to make sure we were on schedule with the timeline I gave them. I did a DIY wedding and having her there took away any stress I could have had during the day. Lindsay was bartending and also made a huge difference. She is hilarious, made good drinks, and people loved her. They pulled the wedding together. All I wanted was for it to be a fun wedding and it definitely was. Very reasonably priced and worth every penny. I'd recommend them to anyone. Thank you Tim, Irene, and Lindsay!!
