Emee was an essential part of our wedding planning and execution, start to finish-- she paved the…read moreway to creating the best weekend of our lives. We wanted an event that brought our community and family together to celebrate love, bikes, and camping in the stunning Columbia River Gorge, and it felt like Emee truly understood what was important to us from the start. There were so many tiny details she caught and helped us navigate. I particularly appreciated her calm support when we had a potential catering issue just three days before the wedding. She talked me off the ledge of worry and was willing to think through a full backup plan with me, before the issue resolved on its own. There were countless other instances of Emee handling things on the day of the wedding that let me, my husband, and our family just enjoy our time together. Thank you Emee, we saw your tireless effort to pull this event off for us, and we are so grateful for all of your work!

They were thorough, prompt, professional, and good at creatively solving problems as they arose. I would recommend EJP Events to anyone who is planning a large event - the experience was wonderful and my staff colleagues, supporters, and donors were all very impressed with the quality of our event. Emee and her team had great staffing at the event and skillfully coordinated all of our many shifting logistics for months leading up to the event. When we encountered obstacles, they handled them. When we needed to make changes, they cheerfully accommodated them. EJP has a "Can-do" attitude and they're both pragmatic and realistic about setting expectations while finding a way to get everything done. I'm so glad that we worked with EJP and they're at the top of my list for event planning in the future.

Knowing that this was going to be one of the most important days in our lives, we did a lot of homework and interviewed several planners. In addition to experience and strong references, the single most important factor to us was chemistry. Warm and genuinely caring, we connected with Carisa from the start and knew we didn't want to entrust our wedding to anyone else. The other factors we considered: 1) clear, reliable communication skills - including the ability to listen and really understand our vision and intention for the event; 2) strong organizational skills and follow-through; 3) established relationships with the best vendors; 4) clear design inspiration and passion; and 5) a game-day MVP who calmly directs the show behind the scenes and makes everything run smoothly. Carisa delivered on every criteria, and, in fact, exceeded our high expectations. It has now been over a year since our special day, and we still get compliments from our guests who tell us it was the best wedding they've ever been to! The whole experience was truly joyous and magical, and Carisa and the entire Adornment Events team were essential in making our dream a reality. The financial investment in hiring Carisa and her A-team to seamlessly orchestrate our big day was worth every penny, and we could not have done it without them. We cannot recommend Carisa and Adornment Events highly enough!!!

She is a huge help in all aspects of an event. Here are a couple stand out moments with Lisa Marie that set her apart from other event planners: Wedding tips: you think you have your wedding all planned out, but you will leave out some planning details and she will catch them! She has great tips about ceremony timing, how you should time out your wedding day, and the flow of the reception. Stuff you don't think about planning out or questions that you need consulting on, Lisa Marie will iron out those concerns for you. Our other vendors adored Lisa Marie and appreciated her thoroughness and willingness to help. This makes your whole wedding staff have a fun time working our event. This brings great vibes for the guests and the wedding party. She doesn't operate like her competitors, who can be sticklers on charging you for every extra thing they do for you. She is a good time. She turned into a friend during our wedding planning year. The whole family enjoyed sharing the weekend with her. She even acted as a "therapist", coaching me through the emotional times throughout the wedding week haha! She does her research on whatever you provide her with to fully understand your wedding ins-and-outs. Lisa has great taste. You can trust her to get your theme and design concept and make decisions for you to enhance your event! Picture below for proof:

She was with us every step of the way.....bringing creative ideas, recommending vendors who could best provide what my daughter wanted, managing the budget and plan to ensure we were making the best decisions. Most importantly, the wedding was spectacular! Whitney took care of everything and ensured it exceeded all expectations....DJ, catering, floral, lighting, linens, ceremony.....all were terrific. My daughter was over the moon and many guests talked about it being the best they had ever attended. Much of that credit goes to Whitney.....and she is a joy to work with. If you need a wedding planner, I can't imagine one who would be better.

Having engaged Whitney from overseas, and having the added logistical complication of attempting to plan and coordinate the component wedding events via email, it's insufficient to say that Whitney managed to produce what turned out to be the perfect wedding. From planning through execution, the event was executed beautifully. Communication was excellent, any "hitches" were dealt with swiftly and with zero issues. All involved parties - and there were a LOT of us - were calmly managed by Whitney and because of that, we knew our roles to a "T". I don't know what her services cost but whatever they run, I've got to believe that they're worth it. For an event of this importance in your life, you can't go wrong working with Whitney.

Sadie gets that people are the priority and out of all people it is the couple who matters most. You need a vendor suggestion? She has 5 ready for you to review. You need a tasting buddy? She's ready to roll and give her honest feedback. We would not have had the most brilliant wedding ever without the extensive knowledge and support that Sadie provides. So do yourself a favor and hire Sadie as your planner or coordinator.
