Alison was the perfect officiant for our wedding this fall at the Durham Museum of Life and…read moreScience. My wife and I interviewed a couple of other officiants, but felt an immediate connection to Alison. She was very thoughtful, and considerate, but never stiff or overly formal. Funny, but not reaching for any laughs or reducing the ritual of our ceremony. And also so organized and experienced in leading the type of intimate ceremony we were looking for! After assigning us questionnaires to fill out with our backstories, Alison weaved together a beautiful, elegant, heart-felt script that both brought the two of us to tears and forced the corners of our mouths up into grins. Several of our guests asked how long we had known Alison, and were shocked we only found her online. I truly hope this review inspires some other lucky couple to pick Alison for their wedding!

Alison got back to us within a day, we did our zoom intro and got down to business. She was extremely receptive to our wants and needs and tailored a ceremony that was perfect for us. Communication leading up to the wedding day was stellar and the process couldnt have been any easier. On the day of she jumped right in, asked all the right questions and helped me wrangle our guests and kept everything on track. She made sure we had the best ceremony for us and left me feeling stress free and very well taken care of. Afterwards she took care of our marriage license so that we could get packed up and fly out for our honeymoon. I couldnt have asked for anything more for our big day. Working with Alison for your ceremony would be one of your best choices in what can be an overwhleming process.

He knew exactly what I wanted and was able to deliver just that. The company was very professional, prompt and on time. My guest were amazed by my celebrity wedding look which was magazine ready. Derrick Phillips whose Demetris business partner communicated everything with the wedding party members clearly, made sure everyone followed the timeline as schedule and things ran smoothly. We were blessed to find Creative Touch Events they really deliver and made our dreams come true. A lot of the venues and event spaces do not understand that it takes time to deliver elaborate designs and decor. Therefore they need to allow vendors of such great magnitude with intricate details to come in early enough for set up. so please make sure you are working with a venue which will allow them to implement their designs. I appreciate the Renaissance Hotel for having an understand and allowing Creative Touch Events to do so. People are still talking about my wedding now and it was two years ago. I have brides to be inquiring about Creative Touch Events. If you are looking for a professional team that will make your dreams come true I recommend Creative Touch Events. If you would like more details about this fabulous company and my Glamorous day feel free to contact me at atuckerburn@yahoo.com.

This company was hired for my brother's wedding. The ceremony was to begin at 6 pm, and the venue…read moreallowed vendors to start setting up at 4:30 pm. Understandably, it was not ideal in terms of the time allotted for set-up. However, on the big day, they did not begin setting up on time. They apparently arrived early, but waited until 4:30 to begin unloading the car instead of having everything ready to go. The 30 minutes they spent unloading essentially made them late - precious time which should have gone toward setting up. The person in charge was Demetris Faison, and he was rude/unprofessional. When the groom's mother asked him why he was starting at 5 pm, he snapped at her and said that the venue did not allow them to enter until 4:30. It was unnecessary to show anger toward a legitimate question. Due to their late start, the ceremony started 45 minutes late, which equated into time lost during the reception later that night. Venues can be strict about end times, and this venue did not allot extra time without cost due to a late start. Later, when setting up the reception, Demetris dropped the photographer's flash from a flash stand when trying to hastily move it without the photographer's permission. The flash fell about 8-10 feet and the photographer was obviously upset. When confronted by the photographer, Mr. Faison showed no remorse and walked away as if nothing happened. Additionally, Mr. Faison insisted on taking a photo for his website after his team completed setting up the reception, although we were running 1 hour behind - and 30 minutes of that lost time was due to his tardiness. At this point, it was past time for the reception dinner to begin (the ceremony and cocktail hour had been completed), yet he seemed more concerned about obtaining a photo. When confronted, he pushed hard for the photo. An argument ensued - which should have been unnecessary in the first place - and he lost his temper. He implied that I be a slave that holds the door open for all the guests that were waiting outside to enter the reception since that's what the wedding party wanted so badly. He then stormed off. It seems that he places the promotion of his business over the wedding party who paid him to be there. I believe that Mr. Faison is the owner, and that day he did not impress anyone. He is supposed to be leading his team with professionalism, but it was lacking. In the end, his team completed the job that he was hired to do, and he did do some things right. However, his negative attitude compromised the flow of the wedding, and in my opinion, customer service trumps all. Unfortunately, due to these reasons, I believe that Creative Touch is currently not worth the investment until they work on their professionalism.
