She was always there to answer all of my questions. While there was a lot of staff turnover at my venue, she relieved my fears and took charge of all day-of timeline and direction.

My wedding day was so special, and I owe great thanks to Erica Stawick with Ashley Baber Weddings…read morefor all of her hard work as my planner. Before hiring Erica, my family and I were looking at the long to-do lists and complexities of wedding planning and feeling overwhelmed. From our very first meeting, Erica was reassuring and worked tirelessly to help me find and execute my vision for my wedding. She was never pushy and always flexible to work with credible and trustworthy vendors that she suggested or that my mom and I found independently. Erica was nice but assertive with my wedding party while giving them instructions during the rehearsal, making that process smooth and orderly. She seemed to understand the many pressures and stresses that wedding planning can put on brides and their families, and she respectfully received input and feedback from many stakeholders, and we are a very picky bunch! That said, her main concern was helping me, as the bride, have the wedding I wanted. Thank you Erica for being my planner and helping to make my big day such a wonderful time.

Words can't begin to express how thankful we were to have Kristin as our wedding planner. From the…read morevery beginning we knew that even with all of the stress that comes with planning a wedding, our wedding day would be everything that we imagined with Kristin in control. She paid close attention to everything we wanted on our wedding day and did everything in her power to make it happen. Not only was Kristin our wedding planner but at times even became someone we could vent to about anything wedding related causing us stress. Once our wedding day came, everything was executed flawlessly. Our wedding day was picture perfect. It was such an amazing experience to have Kristin by our side every step of the way from the first day of planning all the way until we left our wedding in our luxurious Uber SUV. We can't thank Kristin and her team enough for their hard work, dedication, and unmatched professionalism in making our special day perfect! We highly recommend Kristin Taylor Events to anyone who needs event planning services.

She runs a timeline incredibly well and ensures we're all keeping high standards in our execution. She has awesome vendor relationships, allowing us to create unique, creative layouts. I can't recommend her enough to clients who want a high end wedding!

We used Tina for full wedding planning 18 mos prior to my daughter's wedding. She fell short of our…read moreexpectations on several levels. 1. First, the pros: She was pleasant and it was very helpful that she knew the venue and caterer well and worked there often (we had selected both prior to hiring her.) Since we lived out of town, our availability for in person meetings with vendors was challenging. We appreciated that she was able to schedule our tasting with the caterer during their busy season (not typically done.) She also worked regularly with the Entertainment company (suggested by her) and she was a helpful in communicating our concerns days before the wedding. Aesthetically her design suggestions were quite nice. 2. Now the cons: during planning she often took several weeks to respond to emails. I gave her the benefit of the doubt (our event was months away and she is a one-woman operation.) However, her communication was still unacceptably slow in the few months before the wedding - and on the wedding day when numerous calls went unanswered. When problems arose, I had trouble finding her during the cocktail hour/reception. 3. She didn't check invoices from vendors. Had I not reviewed the floor plan and personally counted all of the tables/sizes, I would have overpaid for the linens by nearly 50%. 4. We wanted a carnival-type claw machine (mentioned in our first interview.) Four months before the wedding, she said she was not able to find one. With 15 minutes searching online my daughter easily found a vendor. Apparently, Tina didn't even do a simple Google search. She was able to suggest vendors, but only if she had previously worked with them. Several florists Tina recommended were not a good fit for my daughter's vision. Ultimately my daughter found a florist herself who was perfect. 5.Tina used Aisle Planner to create a seating chart with numbered seat positions for every table, which I carefully completed. Sadly every guest's seat (except the head table) was in the wrong place. We put significant time and effort into creating our seating plan, taking into account family member's proximity to the bride/groom, guests sitting next to friends, elderly guests being farther away from loud music, who had the best view, etc. REALLY frustrating to discover that more than 100 guests were in the wrong place. 6.At least one name on the escort wall (very expensive custom-made item) was misspelled. It's unclear whether Tina provided the vendor with the wrong spelling or they made the mistake. Only Tina had direct contact with the vendor, and she has refused communication after the wedding to clarify. 7. We rented an Audio Guest book (old fashioned phone) to record personal messages from wedding guests. At the end of the cocktail hr I was told it wasn't working and I quickly notified Tina. It was finally working 3 hours into the evening. Follow up communication from the company proved the device was never turned on, despite clear and simple instructions in the box. I'm sure Tina must realized it was not turned on, but she never explained or apologized for the mistake. 8. Tina failed to keep us on the timeline she helped create. Some of that was due to family speeches/toasts going longer than planned and we took full responsibility for that. She failed on numerous other elements of the timeline: ceremony started 10 min late even though the wedding party was staged & waiting for 45 min beforehand, after the ceremony the bride and groom were kept back by the photographer/videographer much longer than scheduled, and guests were ushered from cocktails to reception 25 min late despite bars being closed at the end of the cocktail hour. 9. She NEVER ONCE asked about bouquet preservation during our 18+ mos of planning. My daughter intended to preserve her bouquet and booked a vendor 6 mos in advance, unfortunately we forgot to mention it to Tina. After the wedding Tina left the bouquet inside a plastic bin that she knew we weren't permitted to pick up until 2 days after the wedding. Had she even thought to ask me at the conclusion of the reception I would have taken the bouquet with me. As our FULL wedding planner, this is a huge failure! Our event was 130 guests, six figures and at the upper end of the price range she typically handles for full wedding planning (per info she provided in our initial interview.) The evening had numerous surprises and unconventional elements, which Tina was aware of weeks to months in advance. It's my opinion that she was over her head coordinating the many details, was understaffed on the wedding day and was unable to handle everything. In our initial interview she said she brings 1-2 assistants on the wedding day. No idea whether she brought help since she never introduced me to anyone else. If your event is pretty standard, doesn't have complicated details, and you're okay with limited and/or slow communication, Tina's probably fine, but check all invoices and quantities carefully!!

I went here for a wedding recently and it was a beautiful venue. I'm new to the NC area though and…read morethis place was very far off the beaten path and down some crazy winding roads. However, ladies if you are looking for a story book type of wedding, this may be a great place for you. I parked and walked up the pathway towards where the ceremony was being held and it was just packed full of naturey goodness. The rolling hills of green, flowers and trees a plenty, etc. They even had a bridge going to the other parking lot over a flowing creek. The wedding was held in the gazebo on the front half of the property and as we are watching the bridal party and groom come up the bridal march starts... The bride doesn't come walking down the aisle though... Oh no, just like in many of our fantasy weddings that we've all pictured in our heads, the beautiful bride is being brought to her fairy tale on a horse drawn carriage. Her veil is flowing behind her in the wind, and she is sitting with her father, who will soon be giving her away. He has his arm wrapped around her, and you can only imagine what they are talking about. The horses hooves clop against the ground in an elegant fashion and after they go around the place, father and bride are dropped off to do the official walk down the aisle. Beautiful. I'm getting teary eyed just rethinking about it and telling all of you! The ceremony was beautiful and the reception was held under tents on the rear part of the property. Very nice place and the staff were all extremely professional. They even give you the option to bring your own alcohol for your wedding instead of purchasing it through the company with an additional cost added on. (Maybe that's standard.. I'm not sure, but it seemed very helpful! I'd recommend this place to any love birds out there!

I just recently got married here, and it was absolutely beautiful. The staff were all very nice,…read moregenuine people who did their best to make sure our wedding day went off without a hitch. I was impressed with how organized they were. My favorite part, besides the house and grounds, was the HUGE selection of decorations you can choose from that they include in the price of a wedding package. They had so many things to choose from, it boggled my mind. Candelabras, chandeliers, sculptures...you name it. Then after you've decided on decorations, you work with a member of the staff who helps you coordinate the look you want...which is really helpful if you're like me and have ZERO design sense. Everything was just like I dreamed it would be for the wedding. Several guests commented on how great the staff were, and how beautiful everything was. They even provide a horse and carriage for the bride and groom immediately following the ceremony. My only complaint was the DJ. You have to use the one they partner with. You can only conduct business with them over the phone and through e-mail. Still, I didn't worry because the person I communicated with seemed very thorough. She told me I had two options: I could either list every track I wanted played, or I could list only the special songs (like first dance, father/daughter dance, etc.) and the DJ would select the rest for the reception. I wanted to be sure that the people who came to the wedding would know all the music, so I worked for several hours on a music list. I was assured that only the music on the list would be played. But during the reception, NONE of the music other than the special selections were right. I didn't recognize half of what was played. Only four or five people got up to dance all evening. That was really disappointing. If the DJ wasn't going to use the list I created, I wished I had been told that before I spent several hours putting it together. Other people might not have an issue though, if they don't mind leaving the music entirely up to the DJ. Overall I loved this place and the staff at Saratoga Springs. The only drawback is the requirement that you use their DJ and their caterer (the caterer was EXCELLENT, though) so if you want to choose who provides those services on your own, you're a little bit stuck...but the pros definitely outweigh the cons!!

Lorie of Party Blooms absolutely blew me away with the flowers for my wedding. Period. End of…read moresentence. I met with her, openly acknowledging that I didn't know the first thing about flowers, and with only a vague and badly verbalized idea of what I wanted. From that consultation and literally only one additional email I sent her, she was able to create exactly what I didn't know i wanted. From bouquets to boutonnieres, kissing ball to centerpieces, she took what little I gave her and made a beautiful floral story, full of lilies and orchids, out of it. Even aside from the artistic aspects Party Blooms is a great choice. Lorie is quick to respond to emails or concerns, friendly and professional. She had previously worked with both our church and reception venue, so they were comfortable not having to bring in a new vendor. Last but certainly not least, all this awesomeness comes at an incredibly competitive price. Great quality without having to sell any organs on the black market? Sign me up.

PSA THEY DO NOT DO WEDDINGS DURING OCT ANYWHERE OUTSIDE OF 20 mins from Belmont NC IT IS THEIR…read morePOLICY . Creative Solutions is by far the most unethical and unprofessional company I have ever dealt with. I asked for a quote for an 80-person wedding in Mint Hill--only 41 minutes away--and they flat-out refused, hiding behind a flimsy excuse about being 'outside their delivery radius.' When I called for clarity, I was met with rudeness and then pushed to the owner, who was slick, dishonest, and showed zero care or interest in our wedding. And please know this: if your wedding is in October of any year, and it's outside their tiny 20-minute delivery radius, you are not welcome, and they could care less. It's clear they'd rather hoard their inventory for bigger jobs during busy season than actually help couples on their big day. They don't care about your wedding, your time, or your trust. If you value honesty, professionalism, or basic respect, do not even consider this place.
