We threw a holiday party last month at our home for 40 guests and we wanted to make it really…read morespecial. To top it all off, we had just about three weeks to plan the event and I ended up having to drop everything and travel due to a family emergency. Our home isn't particularly big and we had a lot going on, but Monica worked tirelessly to ensure that our timing and space concerns were addressed (to fit 40 for cocktails, sit-down dinner, games, and dancing). Monica put together an event our guests will certainly remember. From the decorative wall with the balloon arch, decorations and center pieces, the tables, table cloths, Chiavari party chairs, the bar, the DJ, and much more. Everything looked beautiful and our home was glowing! In addition, Monica helped coordinate the layout for the buffet. She also hired a bartender and DJ for us. As you might imagine, retaining a great DJ, in less than three weeks and during prime season is quite a feat. Our last guests left at 4:00 am - it was a huge success! Look no further - Monica is the party planner to hire!

Monica and her firm "Trendy Weddings" were referred to us by our wedding venue, Villa Christina…read more From the first call we knew we had found the perfect partner to assist in making our wedding day a wonderful occasion. You see, we are two brides and finding the right partner is often a challenge when they hear. Monica and her team never blinked an eye. They met with us and we shared our vision. In a matter of weeks, they were able to make our special day more than we could have dreamed. Every detail came to life from the décor to the amazing flowers. Monica and her team are warm, funny, professional and oh so talented. They guided us through every step. We would highly recommend Trendy Weddings for not just a wedding but for any occasion you may have to party.

She was very professional and enthusiastic with suggestions without being pushy. The event staff was exceptional. They had everything well organized and provided great crowd control. They used the venue space to its fullest and transitioned the main room from a beautiful ceremony space to a festive dinner/dance rooms in a very short time. The servers and bartenders were very professional and friendly. Finally, the wedding coordinator, Kim, was very efficient and confident. She managed our day-of nerves and kept the entire event on track. She paid special attention to making sure that my daughter and son-in-law had everything they needed, including dinner. I highly recommend Saratoga Events and Chastain Horse Park for an event

Just a recommendation that you may want to consider in the future.

Jennifer is a true artist. She has a wonderful decorating sense and impeccable taste. Her attention…read moreto detail is what makes her the best of the best. I found Events Decorated on a simple google search with the thought that I wanted to drape either our ceremony or reception. I quickly saw that she does everything! She and her amazing team ended up doing all of our flowers, lighting, and reception and ceremony decorations; she even helped us figure out details about the flow of the night. Among other things, Jennifer came to us with the idea of doing our ceremony "in the round" which we thought sounded really unique, but ended up way exceeding our dreams. Throughout the months, we gathered pictures that we liked from big to small and sent them to her. She combined everything to make our ceremony a huge combination of everything and more. Jennifer is very calming and sweet. Anytime we were starting to panic (as you do at times while planning a wedding) Jennifer calmed us with ease and an abundance of knowledge. When I pulled up after finishing at the salon the day of the wedding, I couldn't help but squeal with excitement!! I ran over to Jennifer, who was still setting up our rustic vine arch, and we hugged and jumped up and down with tears in our eyes. She was so excited and full of energy for our big day and the whole design scheme practically the entire time we were planning but especially at that moment. Jennifer was a true blessing. Every person was blown away by the magnificent glow our entire venue emitted. My husband and I absolutely love Jennifer. We will absolutely use her again if the chance ever arises, and refer her to anyone who is looking.

Review for the Chicago location, who has the same owner. The review is mostly about the owner and…read morelack of response from him once he received his payment The event location is beautiful, unfortunately working with management was less than ideal. Prior to the event, the owner was great and accommodating to my schedule and very understanding when it took me sometime to finalize the event date and contract. However, as soon as I paid the money for our event, the owner went MIA on me. We hosted our event 2 months ago, and I've still not received our refundable deposit back. I've texted, called, emailed, and reached out to them on all social media platforms with no resolution. After several weeks, I got one message stating that the owner was out of country, but would be refunding my deposit by the following Monday-that was 3 weeks ago. The venue is not worth all the hassle of chasing them down-there are plenty of other places in Chicago who are more professional and trustworthy.

I visited this event venue for a recent bridal shower. The space is it that huge which is great for…read moreintimate gatherings. This venue reminds me of the type of space my boyfriend mentions when he decides to plan his birthday at the last minute. Anyway the venue is located off Huff which is apparently a very busy road. It took a lot to find parking and to actually recognize the event parking that was located next-door. The business to the right of the venue does not offer parking to my knowledge. The venue honestly has enough space for maybe six cars. Granted the venue isn't that big but it's definitely bigger than six cars worth of people. The inside is very industrial. It has a loft vibe. There is a small bar and one bathroom. Depending on how busy the space can be it could be very inconvenient with only one restroom. Especially if the bar kitchen area is occupied and you need another sink. There is a lot of space upstairs which requires walking. I would not suggest putting anything upstairs if you have guests that have leg or knee issues. Older guests will definitely not enjoy having to walk up those stairs for any reason. Overall the space isn't bad. I can imagine one having a small birthday party or another type of shower there. Perhaps even a networking event or something that doesn't require more than 30 people to attend. If you're looking for a small event venue within the perimeter and close to Midtown and the highway I will suggest it. Just be mindful of the parking situation.

Trina, I take great pleasure in recommending your services to anyone in need of an "Event Planner"…read more My friends and family are still talking about the wonderful affair you planned for my husband's surprise 60th birthday party. You took charge and handled every detail with precision and perfection. It was great to be able to enjoy the party and not worry about any of the details. It was great having you assist with our family reunion also. I am very impressed with the professional manner in which you manage yourself and the people working with you. I chose to use your services after witnessing the way you miraculously changed a simple banquet hall at our church into a beautiful eloquent room.I wish you continued success in your business.

My good friend Mario Schambon introduced me to this place about eight hours ago. He had sound people playing. The photographer Linda Costa was doing some fly lighting portraits of all of us.

The woman who owns it lives there and is completely hysterical. We pretty much spent the entire night laughing. Will post photo's soon. When you decide to go, bring your friends along for the ride.

I hesitate to write a review since we hired this DJ through a member of our wedding party who is a…read morecoworker/friend of the DJ. I want to start by saying the two gentlemen who DJ our wedding were sweet and punctual. A lot was asked of them, and they delivered. That said, there were some mishaps throughout the wedding. They played country music for the first part of the reception despite having been told a couple of times that the bride and groom don't enjoy that genre. I had made a playlist, as most brides do, that didn't get played until deep into the festivities. People were called up early for dinner, and there was a weird transition between cake cutting and lined dancing. I would have liked for the guests to have been given the opportunity to acquire their dessert before being goated to dance. The price I paid was great, and they kicked off our shoe game wonderfully (which was falling flat on its face because the bridesmaids had an argument whose responsibility it was to come up with questions).
