She came up with an incredible signature spicy mango margarita for our event that everyone loved! At the event, Tiffany and Chris were very friendly and professional and the entire service from set up, through service, to break down, went perfectly. We'll definitely use them again if we need in the future for any events!

Do not use Tiffany, or her company. She once had great reviews (though few in numbers). In the last…read moreyear, her one and only review that I can see, is also bad. I won't get into the details of the welcome dinner. But her behavior then was alarming, and even insulting. The parents of the bride/groom were on alert. (I am not one of the parents). Then comes wedding day.. She was HAMMERED, over-pouring significantly (we do appreciate an over-pour tho, to a point). Spilling everywhere. Nothing set up and prepared behind bar says one of her hires. Wedding guests that weren't aware of any issue the first night noticed it before any of the family did. Hammered off her ass. She walked off and left her bar wide open. She had two workers working under her. They were FANTASTIC, and built their resume this night hopefully. Before Tiffany was booted, one of her hires was already about to leave (because of how miserable working for Tiffany had been). This says enough. Tiffany ended up getting kicked out, and resisted several times. Pushed a 22 year old that was just trying to show her to her car. Cops were called on her, and she drove away from the scene. Mind you, under the influence. Just do a background check and you'll see. ;) From the time she was kicked out, to the time she left 45-60 minutes had passed, with multiple scenes. Despite all of this, FANTASTIC wedding and the two people she hired saved it. Don't hire her, or this company. (The two bartenders she hired are not on contract nor impacted by this).

We needed to have the house painted immediately per the home inspection. I was away on a work trip for several weeks in Eastern Oregon so my wife had to arrange the whole thing by herself. She picked out the colors and cordinated the appointment. I returned to a beautifully painted house. However, the painters only left us leftovers of 2 of 3 paints used. They did not leave us any extra for touchup for the main color - Benjamin Moore in Midnight Blue. When we had a new front door installed I needed some touch up paint to cut in around the door so I made a trip to Morgan Paint Co. They sold me the correct paint color after looking up the code. They tired selling me the right line of paint, as there were three levels. I went with what I thought was right, but when I got it home and used it, the color was correct, but it was the wrong level of glossiness. It was too flat and thus didn't blend in at all. I took the gallon of paint back and after a little more research, the crew at Morgan Paint Co. set me up with the correct paint, a low gloss this time. They were extremely helpful and exhcanged my paint with no hassles. Now my front door looks perfect! The price per gallon was a little high, but thanks to the quality of the paint and the high level or peraonal customer service I received, it was worth every penny.

She went over and above to make sure all the minor details were covered and coordinated seamlessly with the rental company and the bartender. Our guests loved all the food she prepared, in particular the salmon and the berry cobblers. Dessert came out right when it started to rain and Revelyn and her crew quickly moved everything indoors so our guests could still enjoy the final course. Her staff was incredibly friendly and courteous. Overall, we cannot recommend her enough! If we had to do it all over again we would use her in a heartbeat!!

The food was absolutely delicious--fresh and local; the salmon was barbecued perfectly and was moist and delectable.

His staff was friendly and highly professional. We hope to work with them again or be guests at an event they cater!

I couldn't have been happier with anyone else. She was so incredibly nice and extremely dedicated. Emily broke her leg a week before my wedding and still came to my wedding and seemed to be in every place at once, capturing every single important moment of the day...even with her broken leg!! She even showed up to my hair appointment without me asking her to come and was able to get fantastic pictures of that part of the big day as well! Her rate was more than affordable and she went above and beyond. I wouldn't have been happy with any other photographer now that I've had her in charge of the most important day of my life! She was so incredibly prepared and thorough and just overall an amazing person. I could rave and gush about her all day. Her slogan of 'capturing moments' is true to her word and she really does catch the essence of the most special moments. I look at her photos and it is like I am right there at my wedding again. I got all the pictures from my wedding from her within two days! She was so efficient and the quality of her work was outstanding. Please, please let Emily be the woman to photograph any important time in your life because it will be a decision I am positive you won't regret.
