She even had guests write library cards with advice. I loved reading them at 2am with feedings. Even the food fit into the theme. I couldn't have asked for a more glamorous and fun baby shower. I highly recommend Erin!

Finally got a chance to check out this event space! The lovely folks at Lupus Piedmont hosted their…read moreannual Mardi Gras Gala here and it's such a cool event space. From the outside, I would have never expected such potential. The large building is planted very near the tracks off of Tryon & Dalton - just a few minutes from Uptown. Now, I'm sure the space varies per event, but the folks at Lupus decorated it beautifully. Tons of tables, a large bar to the right, dance floor near the stage and plenty of walking around room. Plus, there are two old train cars outside the side doors that are perfect for additional entertainment options - the event last night had a fortune teller and a bones reader in these cars. Per Extravaganza Depot's website, it looks like they are full service event planning and execution company. Capacity wise, the site reads 350 seated and 600 standing and there are adequate restroom facilities and probably 200 parking spaces (total guess here). There aren't too many well put together venues in Charlotte that host these types of numbers, but Extravaganza Depot does offer a great option!

What a GREAT space for ANY party or event! Extravaganza Depot converted part of their warehouse into a venue for parties and events. It's a very cool open space with a back deck that has a GREAT view of the Charlotte Skyline and 2 train cabooses that can be used. Not only do you get a GREAT venue for your party, you get access to the thousands of their props for your party. The folks at Extravaganza Depot were extremely professional, courteous, fun to work with and did a fantastic job! I could go on and on but the bottom line is, Extravaganza Depot is an AMAZING venue for a party or event and they did an AMAZING job and exceeded our very high expectations! We could not be more pleased with our choice to go with the Extravaganza Depot for our very important event! We would totally recommend using Extravaganza Depot for your next event/party!!! THANK YOU EXTRAVAGANZA DEPOT FOR BEING A HUGE PART OF MAKING OUR EVENT/PARTY SO SUCCESSFUL!!!

After numerous calls and emails, I found out the week of my event they had canceled it. Claim wife had been in an accident but failed to inform me. I was told because I was a friend of a photographer they used for their events I would get a refund 7 days after the date of my event. At the last minute I had to spend extra money to find another venue, purchase decorations that I was purchasing from them. The worse experience EVER!!!!! This couple also own a body shop on Reamount Rd. Please save your money and time. DO NOT DO ANY TYPE OF BUSINESS WITH THESE SCAMMERS!!!!!!

We worked with Pink Petunia for our October 2012 and we loved, loved, loved them! You cannot find…read moretwo nicer individuals than Penny and Greg -- and they actually know about flowers! Pink Petunia was recommended by a friend -- and of course you should always consider recommendations from friends whose taste you love. The moment I met Penny, I knew that we would be able to work together. She is simply lovely and so approachable. Though she gets the budget question out there towards the beginning of the meeting, as a bride I more than respected that she was simply looking to manage my expectations. And manage did she ever. Our meeting was at the Pink Petunia Studio in Dallas, NC -- just 30 minutes south of Charlotte --and there Penny and Greg have a cooler, store much of their glass product, and grow their own flowering trees. It is as though you are witnessing the creative process first-hand. It is hard not too look around and be inspired yourself. Leading up to our wedding, Penny was amazing at communicating and making sure that we were always on the same page. When she delivered the flowers, and I first saw my bouquet, I started to tear up. I was so excited, and as the photographer was in the room with us, I insisted we get a photo straight away! I am certain that, though the wedding is over, my relationship with Penny will continue on. I would recommend her to any bride looking to find a floral creator who will "make your dreams come true".

Penny was very patient during our meetings and listened to my every idea and thought. She went above and beyond and worked with me to stay within my budget and never expressed any kind of frustration or annoyance when I'd change my mind for the 100th time. She was so kind throughout the whole planning process and truely fulfilled my dreams! Penny and Greg were on site at the end of the evening to remove their vases and candleabras, etc. This was a huge load off of my parents, and I am so grateful. Flowers are expensive, in general, but I can honestly say that Pink Petunia will treat you right and make your dreams a reality! Penny's work is gorgeous and totally worth the money! When my guests see me or my pictures, they're still commenting on the beautiful flowers from my wedding and reception. Penny is the BEST! A++

She was always there to answer all of my questions. While there was a lot of staff turnover at my venue, she relieved my fears and took charge of all day-of timeline and direction.

I would definitely recommend Erica with Ashley Baber Weddings - we can't thank you enough!

Before hiring Erica, my family and I were looking at the long to-do lists and complexities of wedding planning and feeling overwhelmed. From our very first meeting, Erica was reassuring and worked tirelessly to help me find and execute my vision for my wedding. She was never pushy and always flexible to work with credible and trustworthy vendors that she suggested or that my mom and I found independently. Erica was nice but assertive with my wedding party while giving them instructions during the rehearsal, making that process smooth and orderly. She seemed to understand the many pressures and stresses that wedding planning can put on brides and their families, and she respectfully received input and feedback from many stakeholders, and we are a very picky bunch! That said, her main concern was helping me, as the bride, have the wedding I wanted. Thank you Erica for being my planner and helping to make my big day such a wonderful time.
