Vicky was my wedding planner, and I really can't say enough about her. Let's just start from the…read morebeginning... I interviewed two planners, and I knew I wanted Vicky right away because I was confident that she could get the job done. She didn't want to be my best friend--she wanted to help us achieve the wedding of our dreams while staying under budget. When we were deciding on what services we wanted her to take care of, she showed us this very detailed list of services, kind of like an a la carte menu. We wanted to keep our wedding planner services at $3000 I think, and so we basically picked and chose which things we wanted her to do. SO SIMPLE. No negotiating necessary. After that, she made it feel like our wedding was the only wedding she was working on. Such attention to detail, with a balance of her suggestions and getting our input so that it would still be our wedding. She was honest and straightforward about what she thought were bad ideas, which made us trust in the things that she was excited about and thought were great ideas. Vicky just has so much experience that--really--every little tiny detail was taken care of, so that on the day of our wedding, all we had to do was get our hair and makeup done and show up at the wedding. (My husband and the groomsmen were actually bored the day of our wedding!) The weeks before the wedding, my friends--who know that I get stressed out managing dinner reservations--were amazed to see me so stress-free! Lastly, and maybe I should've opened with this, as soon as we booked all of our vendors, I knew that the cost of having Vicky as our wedding planner paid for itself. The money and time we saved using Vicky's contacts (especially DJ, caterer and florist) was significant. SIGNIFICANT. Please consider Vicky for your event planning services! She is amazing!

Andrea was fantastic! I hired her for the Full Wedding Planner service. It initially started with a…read morevirtual 30 min. consultation where she asked all of the questions to get an understanding of our budget and our vision. After the consultation within the next couple of days, I received an email with some venues to look at and visit. Andrea took care of setting up the appointments to visit locations based on our schedule, once we selected the venue she contacted all of the vendors that we selected as well, we didn't have to deal with the vendors unless we wanted to. Her service includes unlimited calls, texts, and emails and she definitely lived up to that! Her response time was always within minutes and she always had time to sit and answer every question I had. When it comes to budgeting she is a realist and will give you an honest answer to ensure you are making a wise choice, I trusted her experience and she helped me save a lot of money. It's good to work with someone who will give you sound advice because as a bride I got caught up in things that didn't matter, like the color of napkins... Andrea kept it real about what truly matters on your day. And now that I am married she was right. On the day of the wedding, she was at the venue very early and was in communication with all vendors, and knew what everyone was doing. Some things like all weddings didn't go as planned but she kept me calm and made sure my focus was on getting married. She thinks quickly on her feet and is great at solving problems. If there was an issue she had a solution. Andrea has a great personality and you will not regret working with her. I plan on using her for events in the future!

From one pro to another, nice job, Andrea! Holly

Planning a wedding can be a lot, but Carmen has great customized tools and resources to help you make incremental progress towards your overall goal and keep you organized. Carmen was great at walking me through the big decisions and small details. Her approach to wedding planning and thoughtful guidance truly helped us think through every detail, but not get overwhelmed. The week of our wedding had the typical last minute guest cancellations, but Carmen helped us navigate those bumps in the road and communicate with our vendors for the best possible outcome. Carmen and the Evermore team ensured our wishes for our day materialized and everything went smoothly. We could not have pulled off our wedding without Carmen and her staff! Their speedy setup and teardown skills transformed our venue into a personal celebration. On our wedding day Carmen was fabulous at handling our other vendors when they needed direction or assistance. It was so wonderful to be able to live in the moment and enjoy the day because Carmen and her team took care of everything. When our wedding was over I turned to my husband and said, "that was amazing, literally nothing went wrong!" In the month since our wedding I've heard nothing but great things about our day from our friends and family, all thanks to Evermore. We truly can't thank Carmen and the Evermore Occasions team enough for pulling off the best party of our lives!

My daughter had a beautiful wedding on New Year's Day. It was at a beautiful location and we were…read morejoined by many friends and family members who traveled from all over the country braving the holiday travel season to be there. We wanted the day to be special not only for the bride and groom, but also for those guests. We anticipated bumps, as every wedding has them, but with the help of Alyssa and her team, not a bump was felt. As expected, Alyssa communicated with my daughter months ahead of the wedding, but I was happy that I was also included in the emails and phone calls to square away any concerns, ideas or meltdowns. If we had an issue with anything, she was on it. From firming up table décor, to handling the staff at the venue, to something as small as my new grand-daughter's slightly larger-than-it-should-be dress, Alyssa could be counted on. She was prepared, professional and on time. Her staff was more than friendly, yet stayed professional and tended to everything at the wedding so my daughter and the rest of the wedding party were free to enjoy the day without having to break away to handle anything. Alyssa comes highly recommended. With weddings having such a high potential for stress, having a reliable, and professional go-to person to keep everything flowing in a timely manner not only on the day of the event, but the months and weeks leading up to it is imperative. I can't thank her enough for providing much needed peace of mind for my daughter and me since I live across the country and couldn't be there in person to help. If I had another daughter to marry off, we know who we would call first! Thank you Alyssa for everything you did to make my daughter's day so very special. I am happy to provide a reference if ever needed.

I have used this company many times and the lights are Superlative! They really transform a dull…read moreplain room into a mansion! Not only can I choose the color, but I can finesse the color to the shade of that color. It's not just red or blue or green. That makes a world of difference! The color wheel on the remote control is fabulous! If I want, I can make it a specific tone of aqua by just scrolling around with my fingertip. I usually use a candle light Amber soft golden color. Other units like American DJ, etc. are just the color but not the shade of the color. Brian always ships them on time and it comes with a return label and after my party, the next day, I just drop them off at the nearest UPS. Easy! They come pre-charged and there's a charger just in case. This company is wonderful and I've known them for some years and I highly recommend them. They're the best! Thank you, Brian!

When I found Superlative Events, I never looked back. He ships them to me and they're always on time and come with a return label. The price is affordable. I can adjust the lighting to any shade of any color unlike other up lights that are either one color or another. There is a color wheel on the remote that you can finesse the shade of the color. And then with a couple of taps of the remote, then you can make them into dance floor lighting. They are superb and Brian is fabulous to work with and a very nice man. I highly recommend this company. I have been using them for numerous years now. I do events every weekend and so I have a lot of opportunity to work with these lights and I'm always receiving compliments at how wonderful the room looks and the dance floor after dinner dancing looks!

She bad-mouthed the previous owner, which was extremely unprofessional. I never received floral samples or ideas from her about how she was going to do the flowers; she mostly told me what she wanted to do. I had to keep calling her. The photographer was nice but did not take the type of photos I wanted (candid and close up), rather most were all posing photos & I had also told her what I liked and didn't like (she just said nicely said ok to everything). The owner wrapped her costs into everything else, like trying to charge me $350 for make-up alone. She also made herself "very unavailable" after she received all of my money just 1 month into the wedding planning. The worst parts were that the owner was not present the day of the wedding. They also promised my wedding albums would be done in 8 weeks, but it actually took another month longer. The albums came out horribly, with repeat pictures; they would not let me choose which pictures went into the album. My thank you cards that were printed had the names spelled wrong. I would not recommend to anyone...its neither cheap nor quality. I could've done a better job with everything myself.
