I understand dealing with large bridal parties can be daunting but talking to the parents of the groom and bride with utter disrespect and talking down to everyone like we were all children who couldn't comprehend simple task is unacceptable. We paid a lot of money and we expect to receive what was offered. At the rehearsal nothing was talked about except the walking. Never went over the vows, ring handoff, or anything else. The coordinators also did not assist during the wedding and the poor DJ had to take charge with zero direction. So although the venue was beautiful and well taken care of, the staff was not accommodating. I would recommend this establishment if the coordinators changed their ways.

There were issues with the venue, mostly with the management. They are slow to communicate and somewhat unorganized. They don't seem to be putting 100% effort into this business.

Delivery finally happened just prior to 2 pm. Owner compensated by giving a paltry $20 dollars off. I understand that things happen, but I would have expected some better communication prior to me having to call and find out what's going on.

If you are on the fence about whether or not to hire a wedding planner, JUST DO IT! It's worth…read moreevery cent. We had a great handle on all the details of our wedding as we hired our own vendors a year in advance, but in the end, we really needed a planner who could help us pull everything together in the final days when we needed to focus on other things. Debbie and Laurie, owners of Core Concepts, did an amazing job. We hired them to help us coordinate all the details in the final 30 days leading up to our special day. You can trust that they will be in regular communication during the time that you contract to work with them - they will deliver! All of the details came together perfectly - from the beautiful flowers in our requested colors (white, purple and blue) and table seatings, coordinating with our other vendors and keeping everything on time during the day, to the signage and programs and pipe and drape and uplighting and Gobo OH MY. The setting was just perfect - Core Concepts truly helped transformed the space (which was drab) to make it feel elegant and created an atmosphere that made the entire evening feel special to us and our guests. They were hustling until the very end to ensure all the details were taken care of. They also went the extra mile and delivered our flowers after the wedding festivities to the venue where we were hosting a brunch the next morning -- and that was after a really long day of set up and breakdown. That extra touch was a huge help, and we were very appreciative. So many of our guests told us, with sincerity, that it was the best (and most magical) wedding they have ever attended (!!!), and that was thanks in no small part to the Core Concepts team. We are thrilled. They worked hard to help bring our vision to life and for helping us kick off our next adventure as a married couple. :)

We shouldn't have hesitated for a minute! The help we got from Rachel and Core Events was THE best money we spent for anything in the wedding planning. We met with Rachel a couple times and reviewed our plans for the day. She was AMAZING - helping smooth out final details at the rehearsal, checking our sound system/music selections, and providing suggestions for different ways to handle the various traditional elements. The day of, while my mother and I had our hair and makeup done, she checked in at the reception venue and ensured the cake and flowers were delivered and set up properly and the banquet room was set up according to our specs. She also placed our favors, guest book, and other little personal touches we wanted at the reception. That sorted, she booked it over to our ceremony location and helped distribute programs, herded family members and the wedding party here and there so the photographer could get as many pre-wedding family pics as possible. While we stayed behind for photos, she headed to the reception and helped get our guests started on nibbles and cocktails, even cueing our playlist for each part of the reception. Once we arrived, she announced our arrival and got our first dance music going. All this on a day she wasn't feeling too great! We are SO grateful to have had the help of someone so professional, organized, and reliable. Her help let us just relaxed, visit with family, and enjoy the day rather than running around and checking on vendors, set up and details. I cannot recommend Core Events highly enough to anyone planning a wedding or large scale event where you'd actually like to be able to enjoy the event and your guests.

Sadly we ended up terminating our contract with Apsara events early. We signed an agreement for…read morefull service planning for our wedding in May 2025. The communication, planning, and process followed post contract signing fell wildly below any reasonable expectations. Some examples. - 4 months into the contract we had yet to have a basic task list to follow for all activities after repeated asks and multiple verbal commitments that it would be sent and maintained. - We wouldn't hear back for multiple weeks at a time for simple requests or questions. We tried to establish some communication expectations when this first happened but still across email, phone, text we wouldn't hear back for weeks at a time. Most recently we hadn't heard from her in nearly a month. - Majority of all vendor outreach had to be completed by us and barely any recommendations were shared in any reasonable timeframe. We had to prod multiple times to get the basics. There was no process here at all or project management from Apsara. At time of termination, we had yet to receive recommendations for key vendors and still handled over 90% of all vendor communications. - Every (yes, every) deadline or expectation that was set either via phone, text, or email was missed. This was usually without providing any heads up. We were very hopeful and excited to work with Sokha and the team but our experience left us more stressed and behind schedule. I don't believe the team has a lot of support presently (it looks like maybe there was a team in the past but now is nonexistent) and is taking on more work than they can possibly support effectively. It is not appropriate or just to do so when someone has the responsibility to help a couple on such an important part of their journey. I am happy to discuss with anyone to share our experiences here if helpful to avoid what we went through.
