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!!!

She is a huge help in all aspects of an event. Here are a couple stand out moments with Lisa Marie that set her apart from other event planners: Wedding tips: you think you have your wedding all planned out, but you will leave out some planning details and she will catch them! She has great tips about ceremony timing, how you should time out your wedding day, and the flow of the reception. Stuff you don't think about planning out or questions that you need consulting on, Lisa Marie will iron out those concerns for you. Our other vendors adored Lisa Marie and appreciated her thoroughness and willingness to help. This makes your whole wedding staff have a fun time working our event. This brings great vibes for the guests and the wedding party. She doesn't operate like her competitors, who can be sticklers on charging you for every extra thing they do for you. She is a good time. She turned into a friend during our wedding planning year. The whole family enjoyed sharing the weekend with her. She even acted as a "therapist", coaching me through the emotional times throughout the wedding week haha! She does her research on whatever you provide her with to fully understand your wedding ins-and-outs. Lisa has great taste. You can trust her to get your theme and design concept and make decisions for you to enhance your event! Picture below for proof:

I couldn't believe all the amazing details that went into the wedding. They not only handled each inch of everything handed to them with perfection but they also referred us to great vendors as well.

They were quick with responding to emails and even quicker on the day of with everything. Thanks so much!

This review is loooong overdue. Sorry, Michelle :)…read more I found Storybook Memories while doing a search for my daughter's 6th Birthday Princess Tea Party celebration last year and decided to go with them on a gut feeling despite the limited reviews I was able to find at that time. I was VERY pleased with the experience. One word to describe the experience with SBM is "Magical"! We invited Rapunzel and Belle (my daughter's favorite princesses) and Rapunzel was truly amazing with her signing ability. As it was a tea party, I asked the princesses to entertain the younger princesses with serving teas, princess etiquettes and singing and they were spot on! Communication with Michelle was all done via email and Rapunzel personally called me the night before the event to confirm the details. Wow! Let's just say I've been to other parties with Princesses and by far, no one can top the standard of SBM. One thing I must add is the personalized touches from SBM is the princess certification and the personalized thank you card from the princesses after the event. A+ for going above and beyond to make my daughter's birthday a truly a magical and memorable birthday. I'm still hearing from other parents how great the party was, despite the event was 9 months ago. I highly recommend hiring SBM for your next magical event.

Last August we hired Princess Ariel to come to our Pirates & Princesses themed birthday for a group of 4 year olds, and the second time, we hired Princess Snow White to come our Royalty themed party for a group of 3 year olds. At both parties, our hired princess was mind-blowingly engaging, absolutely spot on in character oufit, voice, and singing skills. I love how gentle and loving the character always is. My girls were completely mesmerized and to this day, constantly chatter about how much they love "snow white/ariel their best friend". This little company is truly above par. Even when you call to make your appointment they are in character. On the phone and in e-mail I was referred to as "Queen Liz". Truly, everything about Storybook Memories is charming, good, and has a fairy-tale ending. After each visit from our princess, our goodbye hugs, and blown kisses leave my children excited and joyful (happilly ever after, some may say). We eagerly await our next Storybook Memory party . I wish every success on this business.

Emee was an essential part of our wedding planning and execution, start to finish-- she paved the…read moreway to creating the best weekend of our lives. We wanted an event that brought our community and family together to celebrate love, bikes, and camping in the stunning Columbia River Gorge, and it felt like Emee truly understood what was important to us from the start. There were so many tiny details she caught and helped us navigate. I particularly appreciated her calm support when we had a potential catering issue just three days before the wedding. She talked me off the ledge of worry and was willing to think through a full backup plan with me, before the issue resolved on its own. There were countless other instances of Emee handling things on the day of the wedding that let me, my husband, and our family just enjoy our time together. Thank you Emee, we saw your tireless effort to pull this event off for us, and we are so grateful for all of your work!

They were thorough, prompt, professional, and good at creatively solving problems as they arose. I would recommend EJP Events to anyone who is planning a large event - the experience was wonderful and my staff colleagues, supporters, and donors were all very impressed with the quality of our event. Emee and her team had great staffing at the event and skillfully coordinated all of our many shifting logistics for months leading up to the event. When we encountered obstacles, they handled them. When we needed to make changes, they cheerfully accommodated them. EJP has a "Can-do" attitude and they're both pragmatic and realistic about setting expectations while finding a way to get everything done. I'm so glad that we worked with EJP and they're at the top of my list for event planning in the future.
