With full-time jobs and hectic lives, we needed a full-service wedding planner and a seasoned…read moreprofessional. Knowing that this was going to be one of the most important days in our lives, we did a lot of homework and interviewed several planners. In addition to experience and strong references, the single most important factor to us was chemistry. Warm and genuinely caring, we connected with Carisa from the start and knew we didn't want to entrust our wedding to anyone else. The other factors we considered: 1) clear, reliable communication skills - including the ability to listen and really understand our vision and intention for the event; 2) strong organizational skills and follow-through; 3) established relationships with the best vendors; 4) clear design inspiration and passion; and 5) a game-day MVP who calmly directs the show behind the scenes and makes everything run smoothly. Carisa delivered on every criteria, and, in fact, exceeded our high expectations. It has now been over a year since our special day, and we still get compliments from our guests who tell us it was the best wedding they've ever been to! The whole experience was truly joyous and magical, and Carisa and the entire Adornment Events team were essential in making our dream a reality. The financial investment in hiring Carisa and her A-team to seamlessly orchestrate our big day was worth every penny, and we could not have done it without them. We cannot recommend Carisa and Adornment Events highly enough!!!

Jessica and Lori are new to the game and do not have relationships with vendors or prior experience…read morewith most of them. They lied to me about their connections and experience when we first spoke and then found novel ways to blame me whenever they were supposed to do something and didn't. It made me super sad as Jessica was totally lovely when we first met. And, they kept our $950 deposit despite only one vendor actually being retained and the fact that we terminated 6 months before the actual wedding due to lack of performance under the contract. It's been a spiral of passive aggressive emails since then with an "agreement" that Jessica has demanded that I sign to say that I accept this is all "fair, reasonable, and just". I couldn't make that up if I tried. Jessica and Lori have since re-branded to Kindred Spirits Planning and Design. Word of advice: read their "contract" carefully because their interpretation of it defies common sense and they will take you for everything you are willing to give them while providing as little as they feel they are contractually obligated to provide in return. Their expectations of you, however, will greatly exceed anything they put in writing for you to sign. And if you don't live up to it, you're the one to blame for them not doing the work you contracted them for. If you are a bride-to-be, it's not worth the emotional energy. Feel free to send me a message if you want a recommendation for a wedding planner that actually knows what they are doing.

He made my wedding a party all night long just like I wanted. He was great at announcing different events throughout the night and stuck to the playlist we gave him. On top of that, his prices were amazing. Super affordable, which is why we originally went with him, since we were on a small budget. He has all of his own equipment from microphones, separate set up for ceremony location, and lights. Cannot recommend enough!
