Being new to Portland, i came upon Salima on Yelp and she greatly surpassed my already high expectations. From my first interaction with her she was very professional and sent me a mouth watering menu that gorgeously matched the wines we were highlighting. The day of the event she went above and beyond to ensure the ambiance was perfect.... And then... The food. Wow... We literally had guests waiting by the oven as she took out round after round of gorgeous bites. Thank you Salima! Can't wait to partner with you again soon.

I just called to see if they had the supplies that I needed and when I got Toni she let me know…read morethat she did not have what I was looking for and let me know where to get it and the ins and outs of how to use said supplies. It was refreshing to deal with a true professional and I am confident that we will be using her services in the future. In the meantime if you are considering using this company and have any reservations, I can assure you that Toni is someone who cares about her clientele.

Toni from Purple Lily Events is THE wedding planner you should ever go with. When she did my…read morebrothers wedding, we were so impressed that we hired her too! We hired her for the whole package from planning, working with vendors, and organizing the day of the wedding. WORTH. EVERY. PENNY. She works super hard to keep things stress free, and her super sassy attitude made me feel super at ease, almost like just hanging out with a friend... a very talented friend! Purple Lily Events has worked extensively with many of the local vendors, and always knows who to call, regardless of what you want. Every vendor we chose told us independently that Toni is their favorite wedding planner to work with. If we ever plan another event, this is the ONLY planner we will call.

Hiring Krystle was by far the best decision we made during our wedding planning! I honestly don't…read morethink we could have done it without her! The first time we met Krystle in person, she felt like someone I had known my whole life, it was like I was planning my wedding with one of my closest friends. She was so attentive, on top of all the details, and made our planning process so much easier! As an interior designer, I had a very clear vision of what I wanted our wedding to look like, and Krystle helped bring all of that to life. It's fair to say that I'm extremely particular (so much so that I gave her a PowerPoint presentation of all the décor for our wedding) and she never once made me feel like I was too much, or like she didn't have time for all my thoughts and questions and emails. The vendors that she suggested were amazing, we loved them all, and she did such an amazing job the day of our wedding dealing with all the vendors so we could just enjoy the day. If there were any problems during our wedding, we almost had no idea because Krystle was just that good!! Krystle honestly went above and beyond anything I could have ever hoped for. She made sure our day ran smoothly, stuck to a schedule, and during all of it was so sweet and so kind. She even went out of her way to pick up tables and chairs for us when I made a last-minute decision to add specialty chairs to our sweetheart table. I could go on and on about how amazing she is! Towards the end of our wedding I mentioned to my husband how it was going to be weird having to say goodbye to Krystle because she had become such a constant in our life during the planning process - and to me that just tells you how amazing she is as a coordinator! I would recommend her to anyone looking for a coordinator, she's so fantastic at what she does!

Krystle was amazing to say the least. Originally a day-of turned to a full on coordinator, with…read moremultiple COVID reschedules and vendors backing out, Krystle was completely understanding without any hassle. She was always willing to help when we had to adjust our plans and saved our wedding by pulling in connections to help with vendors that had backed out. On the week of the wedding Krystle was present, aware, organized, and efficient in her planning that made us feel at ease. On the day of the wedding, it never felt like there was something wrong or that we had to worry about much. I would highly recommend getting coordinator and choosing Krystle!

Ashley was absolutely amazing! I found her last minute for my daughters courthouse wedding and…read morefamily dinner. We sent Pinterest photos of what we were thinking and her designs exceeded all expectations. Besides her artistry , she went above and beyond in her personal service to deliver the bouquet to our hotel for getting ready photos and then took our place settings and the cake along with the stunning floral garland she created AND proceeded set it all up at our venue. As you can see in the photos, it all looked absolutely stunning!! We were thrilled. It was perfect. I have given her Info out to friends already and cannot recommend her services more highly.

We worked with Sloane as wedding photographers at a recent wedding where the ceremony was at the…read morecouple's church and the reception was at Aurora Vineyards. Sloane and her entire SAS event planning team were such a joy to work with. Every time we spoke to the bride and groom leading up to the wedding day they would comment about how much hiring Sloane was taking all the stress out of the planning process and how thankful they were to have her expert guidance. Sloane was super organized and gave clear and helpful information leading up to the wedding day to all us vendors, making the day-of incredibly smooth. Sloane and her team were also exceptionally friendly and kept the whole day running on schedule- not an easy thing to do with a location change in the middle of the day! It was easy to tell how much Sloane cares about the people she works with. She went out of her way several times to check in with us to ensure we were getting everything we needed to execute a great service for the bride and groom. She also was so caring to the couple, the entire bridal party and the guests! I would highly recommend choosing SAS event planning for your wedding day!

Thanks to Sloane, we were able to keep our minds off the hundreds of tasks required for a ceremony and reception and be fully present on our day. I cannot recommend Sloane enough.

We had Mikey as our wedding DJ add he was amazing! We are in our early 40s so we have a bit…read moredifferent vibe than many weddings and he was super excited for it. He mixed in a ton of songs that we love and as a result kept our dance floor bopping all night. Many guests the next day commented on how active our dance floor was and that is in large part thanks to Mikey. He was also great with questions we had leading up to the big day. Would recommend. A couple Paradox negatives: in the initial phases the way the company website and communication is set up is intense and super pushy. I also didn't like the app they have as it isn't usable on a computer. I also didn't like the payment methods they prefer. Sending Venmo payments that large felt really odd. But Mikey's work was amazing and I would put up with those issues again for the amazing vibe and night that he gave us.

Rich worked both of the events and literally made my job as "mom/organizer" so much easier. He made sure the teens were having fun - and the adults.
