Hiring Angela as our Day of Coordinator was one of the best decisions for our wedding. She and her…read moreteam helped our big day to run smoothly which allowed us to enjoy the evening to the fullest. From creating a schedule that fits for our venue to google docs with all important information, Angela made sure everything is covered. A couple weeks before the wedding she handed the coordination with our vendors, many of which she already knew thanks to her years of experience. On our wedding day, Angela, Shaye, and Haley were on top of everything!! From directing vendors to setting up everything exactly how we discussed it, directing guests, checking in with my wife and I regularly, to the smallest of details like hanging ear protection headphones over the highchairs for our little guests. We would not have wished for a better team to have on our side that day! If you are planning your wedding, hire Angela and her team at Elite! They are absolutely amazing!!

Unfortunately, I do not recommend Angela of Christofora Events. My daughter hired her for the day…read moreof coordinator because it was required by the venue. Two weeks before the wedding, Angela recommended that my daughter change her choice of tables telling her why her choice would negatively impact the success of the day. She also discouraged my daughter by telling her the venue hadn't done too many weddings. We found Angela to be inflexible. It was raining the morning of the wedding. The venue was willing to wait until an hour before the ceremony to determine whether it would take place inside or out. Angela tried to pressure my daughter 5 hours before the ceremony to make a decision. Thankfully Angela's unnecessary pressure was ignored, the rain stopped and my daughter was able to have the outdoor wedding she wanted. At the reception, all guests were seated and ready to begin food service. Angela insisted they stick to her schedule and wait even though guests were hungry and the kitchen was ready to serve. My daughter asked the venue manager to begin food service which they did. While the bride was eating her salad, Angela went over to her and scolded her for not going through "the chain of command." Finally, Angela left the reception, leaving her assistant behind, without ever notifying the bride. Angela should have been a source of comfort and encouragement for the bride. Instead, it almost seemed like she was going out of her way to add stress.

I was excited to book my wedding rentals from Events Unlimited Tents & Party back in early 2020…read more Unfortunately, like so many other couples, the pandemic changed our wedding plans and we were not able to have the dream wedding we envisioned. After postponements due to COVID, we ended up having a mini wedding with just our parents and siblings, and canceled our scheduled large event with over 8 months of notice to Events Unlimited and our other vendors. Events Unlimited refused to return our deposit of over $1,600, which is a large deposit for rentals, but we never questioned it at booking because the idea of having to cancel our wedding due to a pandemic was not in the realm of possibility. Events Unlimited were entirely unsympathetic throughout our exchange and are retaining our large deposit without having provided any services and despite the pandemic. All of our others vendors were accommodating and provided refunds given the unprecedented global situation. We've reached out to Events Unlimited multiple times to reach a fair resolution, but the owner Marty Bathrick is unresponsive. I would recommend steering clear of this rental service.

They were nice on the phone and with a large delivery charge were willing to deliver and pick it up. BUT then half of the double-sided machine leaked like crazy. They claim that is was our fault for moving the machine. The one guy who delivered it dropped it in the easiest place, of course we were going to move it. Not one word of caution about moving it or showing us even one thing about it. They left very primitive xeroxed directions. And after we returned it and requested some financial consideration for the fact that we weren't able to use HALF of the machine and wasted all the alcohol and mix for the leaky half...they said it was our own fault.

YourEvent is an expert wedding planning service that exudes professionalism, calm, warmth, and…read morecare. Paula Smith is nothing short of your personal Mary Poppins - magically taking care of anything that might come up. We all know that weddings are crisis machines - from weather, to vendor personalities, to unexpected health issues, or a sudden change in headcount - things WILL happen. Paula is the person you want by your side to navigate those things. ***Deep Respect & Warmth***: Paula leads with respect, warmth and care in all of her relationships. This is especially important in her deep relationships with a variety of vendors. Because she is such a pleasure to work with, vendors are often willing to help her clients out with small favors - taking on a role they normally might not, setting up a little early, joining a walkthrough call they didn't really have to be on. These are things that you usually cannot pay extra money for - they are professional courtesies that Paula's clients receive because she is so well liked. This respect and warmth of course is a major reason why her clients are so happy and cared for as well. ***A Bespoke Experience***: Paula is curious - about you, about your culture and customs, and about how to meet your every hope for your special day. At the same time, she also manages your (and your parents'!) expectations to ensure you're planning for a day that can be achieved within your budget and your goals. Once the vision is set, she begins going about creating. She is a beautiful creator. She created something SO special for us within our goals - so much so that we got comments like "this was magical, ethereal and the best wedding we have ever been to". People felt that the event was not over-engineered, but just magically flowed from one moment to the next. We knew, this was Paula's doing - to guide the event with a light hand that was imperceptible to most. Wow. Just wow. ***A Swiss-Army Knife Multipurpose Friend***: What you get with Your Event and Paula is an incredibly versatile team. Paula is a wonderful planner, but throughout this process she also served as a therapist, friend, aunt, stylist, decorator, artist, craftsperson, logistics savant - and so much more. ***Calmness***: This was the biggest event of our lives. A lot of money was involved for us. A lot of relationships we treasure, and several that are fragile. This creates anxiety. Out of all the planners we spoke to, we had a sense that Paula would guide us through with calm, joy, and practicality. The fact that she could easily work with both us (the couple) and family members with compassion, and yet a stern hand when it was needed allowed us to delegate even the most tenuous negotiations to her. She was simply a source of calm for us during the process. ***Contingency***: It turned out that we had beautiful weather for our weekend. However, a hurricane hit the mid-east coast during the week prior (AND the week after!) meaning that the weather forecast was changing minute-to-minute for the week leading up to the event. Paula was prepared for anything. You know when the same 3 tennis players win all the tournaments on grass courts, clay courts or turf? Paula is like that - while she only ultimately deploys one particular strategy on the weekend of the wedding, she had to prepare 5 or 6 in advance - which you know she has ready, and so while we would have been disappointed with rain, we know it still would have been beautiful, and we would not have had to do much different ourselves. ***Organization***: We had never planned a wedding before. Paula's team was prepared with timelines, rubrics, and tables that we could fill out in advance. She let us know what was expected of us at the 1 year, 6 month, 3 month, 1 month and 1 week marks. As the day got closer we had less and less to do, so we could focus on things at home and with our family members. It was really helpful so the actual day was as calm as could be. Overall, Paula is a gift to any couple looking to plan an amazing event with the most magical vibes while remaining calm and level-headed throughout. We cannot recommend her highly enough!

She was so professional and organized, and she guided us every step of the way. From the moment we signed her, she helped us navigate the realities of planning during an incredibly busy wedding season. She helped us book all key vendors in just two weeks after our first conversation, which was so crucial since we were just 6 months from the wedding date and everything was getting booked quickly. She handled key vendor communications and got everyone to show up on time and do their part. She nudged us to get a contingency rain tent, which came in handy when it started raining during our ceremony! Most importantly, she kept everyone calm on day of and reminded us to take in the key moments, creating memories that will last a lifetime. Paula's design services were also stunning -- we got lots of compliments about the wedding invitation calligraphy, the signage around the wedding, and place cards.

When I picked up the equipment, John carefully walked me through all of the cable connections and even played music through the system so I could see just how easy it was to set up and operate. They supplied everything I needed, including all the necessary cables (with extra lengths), Lightning, USB-C, and 1/8-inch adapters, a mixing board, speaker stands, a table with a tablecloth, and more. They truly thought of every detail. John was especially patient, knowledgeable, and helpful throughout the process. After I accidentally left the speaker stands behind, he went out of his way to deliver them to the reunion venue, ensuring everything was ready for the event. That level of customer service was exceptional. I highly recommend Superior Sounds to anyone looking for quality equipment and outstanding customer service.
