I called Jolene at 2pm on the day of my November evening event. It was super cold out and I needed…read moreheaters and blankets to make an important meeting comfortable. I deal with a lot of vendors and I knew my same-day request (on a Saturday no less) would probably be met with cranky "not possible in the timeline" responses. Instead, I met Jolene on the other end of the phone. What a warm and positive person! She immediately took on my problems with grace and alacrity. She not only solved the heaters and blanket asks but also added so many details that I would never have thought of. Baskets to hold the blankets. Blankets tied with twine. Additional black napkins in case someone was wearing a dark outfit. Found local wines and beers. Just extremely thoughtful in everything she did. My event was not big or expensive. I'm from out of town so I'm probably not a repeat client (wish I could be!). And I had a very last minute weekend request. And Jolene pulled through 110%. I would trust her to plan just about anything. You'll be in the best hands.

Hiring Ivory Events was easily the most stressful part of our wedding planning. Over six months, we…read moresuffered from severe communication breakdowns, constant staff shuffling without notice, and zero respect for our schedules--including being offered 6:00 AM meeting times despite providing clear availability. We had to constantly chase them down just to schedule our 30-day walkthrough. Less than 10 days before our wedding, we still had no timeline draft. When it finally arrived, it was essentially blank, misspelled our last name, and forced us to do the heavy lifting with information they already had in their portal. On top of that, an unannounced coordinator showed up to direct our rehearsal with zero prior notice. While day-of setup went okay, the night ended on a incredibly unprofessional note when an assistant coordinator cornered the groom's father to state it was "time to tip," putting him on the spot. Ivory has since dealt with this employee, but it demonstrates that they have little to no vetting for day-of coordination staff. Ivory Events made us feel like an afterthought and forced us to do the job we paid them for. Every other vendor we hired was fantastic--save yourself the headache and book elsewhere.

When I tell you that you should run from this company, I truly mean it. In the beginning,…read moreeverything made sense and it was super easy. I started working with them in February of 2022. I found a venue on my own, and they weren't going to send a planner with me to tour it even though it was in the contract. Weird right? I put my foot down and asked for a planner to be present as it seemed necessary since I wasn't an expert in the planning process. They sent someone fairly young but I said oh well at least she was there. Then, about 10 people were added to my portal as planners within the next two months. I had carefully selected multiple vendors during this time and curated a document with all vendors I requested they speak to for all major categories excluding videography. This was in April. In may, I asked for an update and I heard "we have not heard anything back." I let it go as our photographer was someone who actually was in contact with Ivory Events and our meeting was coordinates swiftly. This is one of two vendors that they actually followed through with. In early June, we went into contract with our photographer. I blindly didn't ask for an update with vendors due to being busy. I asked for an update in July, and heard the same response, that there was no response. In august, my anxiety peaked regarding vendor updates so I started reaching out to my original vendors on my own time. I then found out Ivory Events never reached out to my vendors. I was crushed. I demanded someone call me, especially after I got a casual response asking for my vendor list again and no ownership. It took weeks for someone from Ivory Events to call. They promised they would make it right. I should have fired them then but I gave them a chance again. They did have some effort with photography, floral, and DJ. Granted these vendors are extremely communicative and have been since I met them. They had some involvement in catering. However, the second that we ran into hurdles of a vendor not responding, Ivory events had no real plan or back up plan for what to do. Now, I'm talking 4 weeks of no response from a potential caterer and we were 8 months out so I knew this was super important. I took matters into my own hands and found a different caterer after their failed planning. At this point, I also should have fired them. Instead, I simply kept updating them on the progress I made on my own and research I did on my own. Here is a list of vendors/wedding processes I had to find and secure on my own with minimal guidance or concern from Ivory Events EVEN though it was in the contract for them to do so: Makeup, Hair, Videographer, Caterer, Wedding Dress Shopping, Tuxedo Shopping, Invitation suite, Wedding Website, Wedding Registries, Engagement photos, Save the Dates, Hotel Accomodations, and Transportation Accommodations.  Here is a list of vendors who Ivory Events contacted and initiated on my behalf: photographer, floral, and DJ. This company is nothing but a headache, and zero follow through. If you're smart, go somewhere else. Check their yelp reviews as well!!! I just discovered they were also called Seize The Day Event Planning. Those reviews are spot on to my experience.

She was always in communication with us, just letting us know next steps and expectations. She even came out to our wedding walkthrough to make sure her and the venue were aligned. It made planning SO much easier to have them so connected. The food was also beyond amazing! Many guests afterwards told me how much they loved the food and some even asked for the vendor so they could use them in the future. For your wedding or event, I would highly recommend working with Three Leaf!

At both events, numerous guests made a point of letting me know how much they enjoyed it. I would 100% use TLC again. If I could give six stars, I would!! Thank you for making our events amazing!!!!

Our guests felt included, loved and grateful to be part of a gathering that was so focused on coming together to celebrate our union in a unique and special way. Lindsey from Collective/by Sachs really helped us design and execute on our intentional vision. Without her, we would have been too focused on and stressed about the small details and logistics to be able to show up so grounded and joyful on our wedding weekend the way we did. Lindsey was lovely to work with. She always showed up so calm and happy throughout the process, even when I was stressed, which made me feel so much better. She is a true professional and really understands what matters for an event such as this, helping you focus on the things that will give you and your guests everlasting memories. I highly recommend!

In planning our wedding, one of the first things we decided that we had to have was a great day-of…read morecoordinator who could handle things behind the scenes and give us the space to be in the moment and enjoy our wedding. From the moment she responded to our initial outreach to the day of our wedding, Lindsey was a thoughtful, kind, and happy person to be around and work with. We received a lot of emails from vendors with ten or more exclamation points in their congratulations to us, which always felt fake and over-the-top to us. Lindsey never felt like anything but a genuinely amazing person who we liked talking to and working with. When we spoke to Lindsey, we immediately clicked with her and loved her thoughtful questions and approach, and it was an incredibly tough decision to ultimately hire someone else who had 10+ more years of experience as a wedding planner, because we thought that decade of experience would give us the peace of mind we needed, especially as we were planning the wedding from out of state.We were wrong. We ended up letting our other coordinator go 2 1/2 weeks before our wedding, as that individual came to meetings wildly unprepared and was just generally unprofessional. Thankfully, Lindsey was available and willing to step in at the last minute and be our day-of coordinator. She stepped in without any hesitancy, and working with her was immediately night and day to what we had previously experienced with the other coordinator. Before our first call, Lindsey had gone through all of our contracts and knew all of our vendors, our proposed timeline, and had pertinent and timely questions. She asked us about everything from the number of wine glasses to ways of rethinking our timeline to give us more time with our guests, and just generally made sure we had thought of every last detail ahead of the wedding. I cannot quite express the weight that lifted from my shoulders knowing that Lindsey was on top of things. She is a joy to be around in a genuine way and made the short time before our wedding stress-free and allowed us to just be excited for the wedding! Lindsey came and picked up boxes and boxes of decor from my home a few days before the wedding, because it was the only time that worked for me to give it to her, even though I know it was not her preferred time. Everything she did for us was just above and beyond. The day of was a dream, despite some hiccups, and that is all because Lindsey was working in the background to make sure we weren't stressed out about anything. By way of just one example of how she juggled things and stayed amazing, Lindsey talked to our ring bearer and kept him engaged so that he wouldn't miss his mom and would stay quiet and calm as we waited to walk down the aisle, while also making sure everyone else walked at the right times. Things that went wrong that we didn't have to deal with/that Lindsey made right: Despite all of our detailed planning, my father in law forgot to pick up the bouquets from the venue for our first look photos. The arbor didn't have any greenery on it and had these goofy little pinwheels on it that looked terrible. The pies (from a vendor I found) that we had so meticulously tasted and agonized over the flavors of showed up so undercooked that our caterer didn't feel comfortable serving them. It rained in the middle of our ceremony. Lindsey made sure we had flowers ready the moment we arrived at the venue, had the florist switch out the arbor decorations so that they looked elegant and beautiful before guests even arrived, someone from the catering staff drove to a grocery store to get ice cream so that we would have dessert, and our cocktail hour was moved inside and the appetizers went from a table to passed appetizers, while half of our dinner tables were moved around so that guests weren't blown or washed away by the wind and rain, and it was all done without their knowing the cocktail hour wasn't always planned for inside. If you're looking for someone who will help you to make your wedding your own, and allow you to just be in the moment and enjoy your day, I cannot recommend Lindsey highly enough. She stepped in when she didn't have to, and stepped up in every way imaginable. She's amazing!

I waited to write this review because I had such amazing experiences with everyone we used except Lauren Gibbs and this was hard to write. I wouldn't give Lauren one star if I had the choice. Lauren was nice and communicated well at first when I was searching for a hair/makeup. She was a bit more reasonably priced considering the going rate and I decided to go with her. Unfortunately, as it got closer to my wedding I emailed her more than once and it took her a very long time to respond. When she finally did we talked about how she was going to need more hands then anticipated because we couldn't get into the venue until later in the day. I thought we had settled on what was needed but as the weeks got closer I contacted her again and she ghosted me. I sent several emails directly through her link with NO response at all. I finally reached her by phone. We talked briefly and I told her I understood how busy she was. We were supposed to reconnect via email later that day but it was a days later. I tried to confirm what we discussed but she responded as if we had never talked about her need for an extra set of hands. I reminded her of our previous discussions and I couldn't afford to pay more when we were already set to go. She felt doing me. I was thankful for the understanding although, there was a communication break down on her part. It was only weeks away from my wedding but I had a gut feeling that sent me on a search for a new stylist. However, being so late in the game there really wasn't much availability and I didn't have the energy to keep searching. Fast forward my wedding day and I was already stressed about the time crunch and the morning didn't go smoothly and I ended up being 20 minutes late...it was my bad because I lost the 20 minutes for my hair and makeup. As I got to the room I was very apologetic for being late and shouted up the stairs "sorry, are you going to kill me?" Trying to make light of it as well as apologizing for my tardiness. The first thing out of her mouth in a very nasty tone was "well I'm going to charge you!!" The way I see it if she was desent human with good customer service she would have helped to relieve some stress rather than add to the stress. That didn't happen at all! I was frustrated with her approach and she was upset that I was late to the service I paid for. She told me I disrespected her on my wedding daydisrespected her. Now mind you I did apologize for being late. We continued to have a heated discussion which included her assistant chiming in while excusing Lauren's behavior. That's when my family walked into a disaster. My sister and mom asked her numerous times to see if we could please make this work. My mom even offered to skip hers ALL together to get everyone else done and not cause stress for Lauren. My mom's tone was very apologetic although she did nothing wrong. Lauren wasn't having it and wasn't listening. She was caught up on making it about herself and how she couldn't work in these conditions. I told her more than once she could leave but everyone pleaded with her to stay. She finally left as more heated words were exchanged. She caused a great deal of stress and disappointment. However, all said and done we managed beautifully without her. After my wedding I contacted her to get my money back knowing I lost the deposit. She responded very shortly with how this will be her last communication and I could contact her through a lawyer. I simply reminded her that she provided NO service and needed to send my payment back but I decided to stop reaching out so I was no longer consumed by the thought of her. I contacted my bank to dispute the charge. It is sad to put these words down about someone and their business but I'd hate to see anyone go through what I did on their very special day
