Ashley was able to see my vision and also suggested additional creative ideas to help make them amazing. She has a creative eye that can work with any budget! Ashley also pays attention to 'little' details and ensures nothing is missed--many items of which I would not have thought twice about! Numerous times I would ask for my catering estimates/details or different photographer estimates and she was able to email them to me in a short period of time. She keeps everything in a binder and/or computer and everything you need is at her fingertips! Organization is definitely one of her greatest strengths! I feel this is a skill needed for smooth wedding planning because, let's face it, wedding planning is stressful! She also has a timeline in order to ensure things are done promptly, and she gave me small 'chunks' of tasks to accomplish so that the planning on my part was not overwhelming. Ashley is dedicated to making your wedding the most amazing stress free day of your life! I would recommend Soirees by Lauren to ANY bride!

Love, love, love the Historic Obici house! This old home that belonged to the Planter's Peanut…read morefounder was on the verge of being demolished but Mr. Roundtree who runs the Sleepy Hole golf course stepped up and helped to get it renovated and turned into a restaurant and Pro shop. Since the location is out of the way, the restaurant being open to the public as a regular restaurant didn't work out but now it is open for special events (you can find them on their website or Facebook page), parties or weddings. I miss being able to just go there for dinner, enjoy the view and the beautiful house but understand why they had to change the operation. The food is worth the price, the staff is friendly and they are happy to show off the restaurant and allow you to walk around and check it out.

I have mixed emotions about this review since on one hand I was glad to see that the Obici House…read morewas saved, while on the other hand, I didn't like how it all happened. I don't like that they tore down the detached Carriage House that was also on the property. The House is beautiful and unique with history. I am perennially disappointed with the golf course and I have been to only one function in the House since it was restored. The food was nothing remarkable and the service was even more non-descript. I don't know what they charge for functions there, but I thought that maybe they would have improved the surroundings a bit more to accommodate the status of the Obici House, the surrounding out buildings, clubhouse, 18th hole and driving range. It looks like they did the bare minimum to the house. I don't want to tarnish this review too much since I haven't been there for an official event within the last year. I noticed that they are having an open house soon and I plan to check it out and update my review. I would recommend that if the price seems to high for your event, then pass on Obici House until you start seeing better reviews on the service and food.

We met with Chris, the owner, initially - and he was very organized, pleasant, and fun. He recommended Jim as our DJ. All our paperwork / contracts were simple and efficient. We were never surprised by the costs. Jim did an outstanding job at our wedding. He knew exactly what music to play for our crowd. He was very sensitive to some "unusual" family dynamics - and made everyone very comfortable. He played everything that we had asked for, and sprinkled in just the right mix of other songs to make the party a lot of fun. This company is a bit more expensive than some of the other DJ companies in the area, but I definitely think the quality of their work was well worth the price.

As you can see from the photos, she is beautiful. The sick back tattoo takes her look over the top in the best way. You can tell that she is very passionate about performing and entertaining your guests! From working with her behind the scenes, I can tell you that she is super professional and amazing to work with. She is very communicative throughout the whole process. We texted back and forth from the time I hired her up until the day of the event. She let me know that she needed a place to get dressed and a strong man to carry her to the pool once she got her fin on AKA "masnportation" ;). After she made her grand entrance, she was working the crowd for the full two hours. Perching up on the side of the pool to pose for photos between bouts of swimming around and doing tricks in the water. If you thought that mermaids only appeal to kids, you were wrong! While she would be lovely to have at a children's birthday party, she is also great for adults as well. Mermaid Ariana also does many other forms of entertaining, from fire breathing to aerial. I do not hesitate to recommend her to anyone!

The mermaid, the stilt walking, the aerial displays, the party pumpers. We honestly feel she is underpriced because she is...Just. That. Amazing. Without Nicole and her team, we would have had just another boring wedding. Nicole put herself everywhere, even helping transition events so other vendors had time. I have never met someone so full of resources, so talented, and so very passionate about making the customer happy. She is also extremely transparent, often informing us far in advance if she foresees a change or a price difference. Anyone who goes out of their way to create custom outfits for her team - just to match the colors on your special day - is a gem. I cannot WAIT to have the opportunity to invite Nicole back to one of our events!
