From…read morestart to finish, she was organized, thoughtful, and incredibly supportive throughout the entire party planning process of my husband's surprise 50th birthday party. Melissa handled every detail with such professionalism. Everything was clear and stress-free for me. Before I chose the venue, she personally took me to several options so I could see which felt right. She also met with me numerous times to go over ideas, decorations, and details, always making sure I felt confident in the decisions. She was also fantastic with communication, quick to answer every email, patient with all of my questions, and always keeping in close contact. Her advice was invaluable, and she thought of things I never would have considered on my own. Because of Melissa's guidance and hard work, the event turned out beautifully, and I was able to actually enjoy the night knowing everything was handled. If you are planning a special event, I highly recommend Knot Too Shabby Events. Melissa is truly amazing at what she does!

We cannot say enough great things about Heather and Port City Event Planners. We were challenged…read morewith planning a wedding in a short amount of time, Heather not only came through, she knocked it out of the park for us. Every detail was handled and executed by Heather and her team flawlessly. She takes a very hands on approach to planning and designing a wedding, the communication was awesome and my wife and I never felt stressed about everything being handled. Another great thing about Port City and Heather is that not only do they plan the wedding, they also provide the flowers which helps Heather execute her vision perfectly. If you are planning a wedding or any large event, we highly recommend Heather and Port City Event Planners; there truly cannot be a better option. Use her, you will not be disappointed. Alex

After a simple web search, I landed on the phone with Heather. She wasn't available for an in-service consultation because they had a big wedding ahead, but our phone consultation made me feel like we were right across from one another. She was so great, informative, personable, and made me excited to work with her!

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Katie Lange and her amazing team at Bubbly Events for…read moreour wedding on October 11, 2025, and I truly cannot imagine our day without her. From the very beginning, Katie was incredibly communicative, organized, and thoughtful, but what really stood out was how genuinely supportive and invested she was in making our wedding everything we hoped it would be. The very first question she asked us was what our priorities were...not anyone else's opinions or just a generic "vision"...and that set the tone for everything that followed in the best way. In the three months leading up to the wedding, her guidance became even more invaluable. She helped us navigate every detail with such calm confidence, always making us feel like we were in the very best hands. From table settings to lighting, DJ recommendations to signage - no question was too small, and no detail was ever overlooked. The week of our wedding brought an unexpected challenge, a nor'easter rolled in and completely changed our plans. We had to move our cocktail hour indoors, and what could have been a stressful scramble turned into a completely seamless transition thanks to Katie. She coordinated with all of our vendors, handled every logistical detail, and made the entire situation feel effortless from our perspective. Because of her, I was able to stay present and actually enjoy the days leading up to our wedding, which is something I'll always be grateful for. On the day itself, Katie was not only incredibly professional and on top of everything, but also so fun, warm, and full of positive energy. Not just me and Pearson, our entire wedding party absolutely adored her. She brought the best vibe to the day and made everyone feel comfortable, taken care of, and ready to celebrate. Honestly, I wish we could do it all over again just so we could spend more time working with Katie (and her really cute dogs!). She is truly exceptional at what she does, and even more importantly, she is a genuinely wonderful person. She made our wedding day feel magical, smooth, and completely stress-free. We cannot recommend her highly enough!

It's rumored that she walks 60,000 steps for a wedding. She was graceful, polite and seems to love what she's doing. I am impressed.

I email and call a lot with questions and she was also punctual in communication and helpful with the many issues that arise in planning a big wedding. She handled the design of all florals, our invitations, wedding day decor, lighting, programs, down to the various minor details of the day... she planned, designed and executed them all. She executed the plan & coordinated our ceremony & rehearsal beautifully! The service was exceptional; everyone in our wedding party & all our family agreed that she was the star player of the day. She went above and beyond to make our day truly special. Our wedding was huge (over 300 guests and a 25 person wedding party) and she remained professional yet I feel I have made a new friend! She is the kind of person you want helping you with your big day, friendly yet effective.

When it was just the production team, maybe throw in the the musicians, it was okay, musicians are more outgoing, but I wouldn't put the word fun in with the party even though they tried really hard. But what you added in the Game Show Challenge, it was BIG fun! I laughed, and laughed. I really enjoyed myself! it was so good I lost track of time! I forgot about whatever I worry about and the troubles in the world faded away! It was great! I started thinking where could I use this, could I use it with my own company? could I use it with my family? could I use it to raise money in my non-profit? The answer was all YES. I could use it for team building, suggest it for this year's convention! I could use it at a BIG birthday party, I have a big one coming up!! I could use it for a fundraiser for my non-profit, and I could use it for a family reunion, that would be a hoot! This is the most creative thing I have seen this creative young man do.
