To all the future brides and grooms out there. I highly suggest encore event group for your…read moreentertainment needs. I truly believe that best dj makes a wedding fun and memorable if everyone is out on the dance floor the entire night. We had a lot of comments from our guests that they didn't have much pictures bc they were on the dance floor the entire night. Rob did not disappoint us by following all the instructions we gave him,also went above and beyond his duties to make sure everything was running smoothly. His crew kept checking on us if we have any concerns or request for songs to be played- I really appreciate it. We did the bundle with lights, photo booth and dj- it was all worth it. I will hire them again! I am writing a review bc they deserve it and wanted to let everyone know how Good they are. From the new Mr and Mrs. Elliott Vazquez.

I am not typically one to write a nasty review because I used to work in food service and I learned…read morethat some customers simply cannot be pleased. However, I had a TERRIBLE experience with this business today after doing nothing wrong and I feel that I could probably help some fellow brides avoid a similar situation by explaining what happened to me here. I contacted EEG two days ago about renting a drapery backdrop for my wedding in two months. I fully intended on renting from them because they have done events at my venue before, and I am in a hurry. Someone replied to me very quickly and we set up an appointment for today. My last e-mail sent two days ago read: "Perfect! See you then!" This morning, I had a dress-fitting appointment. EEG sent me an e-mail to confirm my afternoon appointment while I was at my dress fitting, so I did not see it. When I got out of my dress fitting appointment, I called EEG to see if it was possible for them to see me early because I was ahead of schedule and close by. The woman on the phone informed me that no, they could not see me early (that's not a problem), and also that my appointment had been cancelled because I had not responded to the confirmation e-mail sent three hours prior. They booked another appointment in place of mine. My mom drove in from out of town to come with me to the appointment. I was very disappointed and when I expressed my disappointment (in other words, I WAS PISSED!), they offered me an evening appointment and proceeded to say "We aren't going to argue with you. Do you want to come in or not?" I said no thank you. This business had no reason to believe that I wouldn't show up to my appointment. My guess is that they got an opportunity to make more money off another client and so they disregarded my business. I am so disgusted and I have never experienced such terrible customer service. I'm sure their linens are beautiful but this business needs to learn that personality is everything when it comes to running a successful business. Very, very disappointed.

Ryan Abney Event Design was the best choice for us and I knew it as soon as I met Ryan. I could…read moretell right away that Ryan was very organized, but also extremely friendly with a calming presence. When we started planning our wedding, we had no idea of where to start and didn't know the questions to ask. Ryan walked us through the process and helped us identify all the areas that we needed assistance. Ryan had suggestions for all portions of the planning and really kept our personalities and goals in mind as well as being mindful of our budget. We were in a unique situation where our first wedding celebration, originally planned for March 2020, was canceled due to COVID. Ryan helped us navigate a completely unknown situation and really took a lead in communicating with our vendors. We also had issues with our first venue and as it was unable to be used, she was able to help us recoup our expenses. Due to ever changing COVID regulations, we moved our celebration back until 2023. Once a new venue was found, Ryan worked with us to replan according to the new venue specifications so she helped us plan what amounted to two weddings at two locations. Our day was amazing. Everything was perfect and went according to plan. Ryan was available during the event for any needs, but her impeccable planning skills helped everything run so smoothly that we didn't really need anything. I had multiple attendees comment about how much they enjoyed the wedding and could tell it was a reflection of us as a couple. Even more importantly, my husband and I had an amazing time. I tell everyone that my favorite thing about the wedding, besides marrying my husband, was having Ryan as our wedding coordinator. She is amazing at her job and I felt like we all became close during the multiple years that we were working together. Having her involved in our wedding celebration was the best decision from both a financial standpoint and lowered my stress level immensely. We have recommended her services to friends getting married; they have enjoyed working with her too. If ever responsible for planning another large event, I would be hiring Ryan Abney Event Design immediately.

From the moment we met Ryan when she gave us a tour of the Belle Isle Boathouse, we knew that she…read morewas someone we could work closely with to plan our wedding. She was professional but also very laid-back, especially compared to other planners/event space managers that we met. After we talked to a few couples who worked with and spoke very highly of her, we had no reservations about hiring her as our planner. Ryan is hugely connected with event spaces, hotels, caterers, florists, bakeries, DJs, liquor stores, and event rental businesses due to her years of experience planning major events in the Detroit metro area. This meant discounts for us, excellent customer service from our vendors, and her experience with individual vendors meant we could be sure they were excellent and reliable so our wedding weekend was stress free. She was also appropriately hands off when we wanted to pick certain things on our own. Ryan is just incredibly experienced and that's the type of person you need to plan a big wedding. Preparations for our wedding weekend went seamlessly. We live in New York so with the exception of 3 or so in person meetings, all our communication was by phone, email, and text. She was super available and responsive and notified us if she would ever be away. She gave us deadlines to keep us on track and reminders when these were approaching. Everything was organized on our chosen shared planner document. Due to Ryan's organization and calmness, we never felt overwhelmed during our planning. When we had concerns such as our budget, we brought them up to her, and she was quick to address them, either via email or over the phone. She was easy to schedule these meetings with and helped us frame how often we needed them. She always had an agenda for each meeting so they were actually quick and productive. On our wedding weekend, Ryan ensured that everything ran smoothly, so we were able to enjoy our events without any undue stress or consternation. Of course nothing was perfect due to unforeseen family drama and the like, but even though a few things went wrong, we never even knew because Ryan took care of everything. Because she's such a professional champ with events, she had extra napkins and disposable plates in the car, things like that. Ryan managed all these extra details like hand making our table assignment escort cards and creating a beautiful display in the women's restroom with all sorts of toiletries, mint, floss etc. She also had extra napkins and disposable plates and the like in her car, just in case. Its these minor details that she managed in a 3 day event for 200 people that make her a total expert event planner. We would strongly recommend any couple work with Ryan for their wedding, or really any event. She was professional, diligent, experienced, easy-going and a pleasure to communicate and work with. She made our wedding weekend the best of our lives, and for this we will always be grateful and consider her a friend. We are happy to speak to any potential clients if you have specific questions about working with Ryan. Feel free to email at mikeandmaz2018@gmail.com.

Located in Southfield, the inside is deceptively nicer than the outside. We were there for a…read morefriends family event, and it was catered casually. We had coney dogs, pizza and fries, salads, cookies, and drinks. The staff were friendly and the inside is modern. The bathrooms were clean, and the room we were in was nice and open. Lots of seating. Parking is very convenient and there were plenty available. Would recommend for other events.

I had a little trouble explaining what this place was when asked, so I went to the website to see…read morehow they explained it themselves.... "It's not everyday that a fully-equipped professional mega kitchen with an event space becomes available to the community. Today is that day. Take a class, teach a class, host an event, test equipment, create beautiful menus, eat a great meal, grow a food business and more. The Great Lakes Culinary Center was created to build culinary dreams and fuel food passions. With absolutely everything located under one roof; the Great Lakes Culinary Center is destined to become the favorite new "food place to be". Venue Features Thousands of square feet of usable space, with indoor and outdoor seating options. - Fully equipped kitchen with specialized cooking features. - Seats up to 150 people. - Holds up to 200 seated and strolling guests. = Tables, linens, stemware, china and buffet service equipment available for rental Menus available soon!" Well, that sort of paints a picture of what to expect, but not EXACTLY. This spot sells high-end commercial kitchen equipment. Customers can come to this site to test the equipment in the kitchen, the dish room and/or the bar. That's cool. Actually, it's really cool. What they don't explain (exactly) is this is also event space. So if said commercial customers want to bring in a big staff of people to check it/test it out, they could. That's cool too. And again, what isn't exactly clear, is that if you just want a cool place for an event, they are available for rentals! Top notch chefs, using top notch equipment for your next event. SO. VERY. COOL. And it just keeps getting cooler. They recently added a completely organic food-to-table garden along side the building. I am loving this place! The women who run the gardens (Carol Shapiro Havis of TheraGardens) also do special programs and events on healthy eating, organic gardening and more. I brought a group of 25 people to check out the facility, hear the background of the company and the building and how they are constantly expanding their focus and had a tour of the gardens. They even set up a little planting station for everyone to plant and take home a little sunflower or snap pea. And the price was REASONABLE. I highly recommend checking it out if you are looking for a cool venue. Or if you're looking for high end commercial restaurant equipment. Or if you want to learn a little about organic gardening.
