Tamar has planned several events for the alumnae group in my city for which I'm a board member…read more I'm particularly impressed by her attention to detail and commitment to the "experience" of an event. For example, Tamar's communications with planners and guests ahead of the event are informative, cordial, and focused. She quickly assesses the needs and vision of the hosts but also asks questions that allow her to obtain information needed to go above and beyond. Tamar has helped us think through the ways in which guests would hear about the event, the ways in which they'd be welcomed upon arrival, and how they would be able to connect with us afterward. Her commitment to a positive, energetic, and thoughtful event has really helped us bring our events to a new level and to reach new audiences.

I worked with Katrina from Pegasus Planning for a corporate conference in Ft. Lauderdale this…read moreJanuary and I was very impressed on all ends. Katrina has a delightful personality. She's very bubbly and easy to talk to and she genuinely wants to help anyone who has an issue or need. The program that Pegasus Planning planned was executed very well. I appreciated the team that welcomed the guests at the register table. The conference hallway and ballroom was very easy to locate. There was a easy-to-read schedule every day that explained where the break out rooms were. I also enjoyed the receptions in the evening. One in particular was a lot of fun because it was Western theme. As we got on the elevator to head up to the event space, Katrina and her team handed all the guests fun Western wear including cowboy hats, bandanas and stick on mustaches. It was a small detail that got guests involved and was a fun conversation starter. The event space ended up being Western theme with rope and flower centerpieces, cowboy cutouts for photo opportunities, a western-style menu and more. Everyone had fun! I would love to work with Pegasus Planning in the future. I have no complaints about the conference and I'm sure their team had a lot to do with that!

Wow - I can't believe that I forgot to review this place - Eved services is who I worked with for…read moreour wedding to provide us with our linens. They were part of the wedding package at the Hilton Chicago. I spoke with Gia Hyos extensively via email - she's so quick in responding and is a LOT of fun to work with. She's so lively and energetic - when I finally met her in person for our food tasting - she already had the tasting table and linens all set up in so many different ways! We had different colored table cloths to pick from - five different napkin styles in addition to five different ways that the bows could be tied on our chairs. AMAZING! On the day of, her staff worked tirelessly and what looked like effortlessly to get everything just perfect and it couldn't have been more beautiful. Eved is a little on the pricey side but the beauty of it all and the customer service that we got out of it and working with Gia was so well worth it! Thank you again!!

Dee and her staff are superstars. We originally hired Dee as our day of coordinator when we were…read morebooking a different venue, and she was so great to work with. As much as I loved planning my wedding, I didn't love the nitty gritty dealing with vendors on delivery times, and she took care of all of that! And then we found out our venue was closing. And when I say we found out, I mean Dee called me to let me know. If she hadn't, it would have been weeks before I had found out. Luckily, her venue Shapiro Ballroom had availability for us on the same date! And since we were already planning on using her staffing for set up and serving, using her venue made things even easier for us. Dee was extremely communicative the entire wedding planning process, and available to us at all times for whatever questions we had or when we needed to set up meetings. We had a lot of moving pieces with our wedding (including three separate caterers) but she and her staff knocked it out of the park - everything ran so smoothly on the day of that I can still barely believe it. We also used the I Do Events bartenders, and oh, they were great. We had brought some special bottles in addition to the main liquor/wine selections, and they came around to us and the bridal party to make sure we had full glasses when we were too busy with our guests to make it up to the bar! That's something I never knew I wanted, but was so wonderful to have. I DIYed a lot of the décor, which I provided to her and her staff a few days before with photos on how to set up, and they did it all perfectly! When it came to tear down at the end of the night, I expected to stick around for a bit to make sure everything was taken care of, and found that I had nothing to do - it was all in process, and I didn't have to stress about it at all. Now, a couple weeks after the wedding, I find that one of my favorite small moments was later in the evening, hiding in the bridal suite with Dee, just chatting about how WE DID THE THING and how well it all went. Note: in case it wasn't clear, we DID end up using I Do Events coordinating, staffing, and bartending services, in addition to the venue they are associated with (Shapiro). I highly recommend ALL, but I'm sure that even with a different venue that they would have done great!
