We are based in CA so needed a local expert to find a first class caterer (Attitude on Food), execute on our floral design wishes (Magnolia), work with our incredible venue (Willow Creek Glass Chapel), find a local vendor to aisle ready steam the wedding dress (Omaha Lace Cleaners) and provide suggestions for activities for the weekend. Jessica exceeded our expectations, and I would happily recommend her and Maggie for your special day too.

I stumbled across this sweet little place . If you blink, you'll miss it. It's right on the corner…read moreof South Main Street. I popped in for a little something to eat.. it's all kinds of sweet little gem, in a town that is trying to re-do its self. Sat at a table to order, prompt and friendly staff. Ordered the Statesmen- on a croissant- came with an interesting side salad and a cup of coffee. $13 I think is what I paid. Worth every penny - Sandwich was full of flavor- or the chicken salad was. The croissant wasn't anything special, and the side salad aka dessert was something I've never had before- apples, grapes, nuts and snickers with a whip of some sort. How fun and silly, plus the coffee was a perfect cup of good old coffee. I'd recommend this quaint little spot- sit and just absorb all the nuance.

The flatbread was decent, but the real star (not pictured) is the spinach artichoke dip in the bread bowl. Easily the best thing on the menu--huge portion and perfect for sharing.

If you're celebrating something or just want to treat yourself, this place makes the night feel like an event. I'd absolutely go back.

Limelight Expressions was the best decision we made for our wedding! My husband and I knew early on…read morethat we wanted a day-of-coordinator to help our wedding day run smoothly. After our initial consultation with Kimmylea, we decided to go with the Something Blue package since we were early on in the planning process. With this package we planned alongside Kimmylea and got the day-of coordination. She helped us every step of the way keeping us on track with booking vendors and even recommending vendors as well. Kimmylea was so easy to get into contact with. She always responded in a timely manner and we had several meetings along the way as well which helped us feel prepared. The wedding day was stress-free for my husband and I and our whole family. Kimmylea and Beau set up everything and tore down which was so nice to not have our families worry about. At the end of the night I found out our venue's security guard never showed up and they wouldn't be able to serve alcohol without one. Luckily Beau was able to fill that role due to his occupation. I'm not sure what would have happened if Kimmylea and Beau weren't there, but I'm glad I'll never have to find out. Kimmylea also stepped up when I was feeling uneasy about a last minute DJ switch. She contacted the owner and helped reassure me that everything would be great. If you are looking for a wedding or any type of event planner, look no further. Limelight Expressions will go above and beyond to make your day perfect and stress free!

We didn't hear from anyone for months. Nothing like adding stress to a bride and groom's wedding! Towards the end of December, we finally pulled the plug and reached back out. Due to personal family situations and the lack of effort or work from House of R - we asked for a refund. After a couple weeks of silence and follow ups, we finally heard back from the team with a confirmation they would issue a refund and stated we should receive within 3-5 business days. The refund NEVER came. Many follow ups, emails, text later - GHOSTED. Thank Goodness our credit card company had out back and was able to dispute the deposit and we got our money back. However, it took 4 months to get to this point. So disappointed. We loved the space and photos of previous work done - but the terrible customer service, zero work done, and lack of follow through with this venue speaks for itself. You've been warned - Just don't waste your time here!

When they say they produce "epic event experiences" they are not kidding - this was a fantastic party! So much thought went into the planning and detail from the décor to the lighting to the food ... there were various Beatles buttons on the tables, drink coasters with song titles, 3 kinds of cake, a bar, charcuterie board, little meat sliders, cardboard cutouts for photo ops, a "phone" to record a message - the list goes on and on. Even the bathroom was decorated and playing Beatles music. The McGuigan Brothers even showed up to play about 90 minutes of Beatles covers (a la their well known Interactive Beatles experience show). The birthday girl had a blast as did her family and friends. Many of us hadn't seen each other in the past couple years and several people even flew into town for the party. This was a great place to host this type of event. I was dropping hints to my spouse that a Bowie themed gathering would be pretty cool someday!!
