They are all very skilled and have great domain knowledge regarding wedding planning - they created in depth timeline for our wedding, kept track of vendor contracts, and helped us ensure our AV and decor logistically made sense for our plan. We met remotely with them with higher frequency as the wedding date came near and they were able to help us iron out important details to ensure the event was a success. They are so incredibly sweet and thoughtful, from providing us with food and water when noticing we needed it to making sure our guests needs were met. They truly made our wedding feel seamless and exciting. We strongly recommend Utsav planners to anyone getting married within the U.S. or outside. We assure you they will make wedding planning easy and stress free. :)

Absolutely Unacceptable - DO NOT BOOK WITH THEM!…read more If I could give Knockerball Michigan zero stars, I would. They completely ruined my son's 11th birthday party by canceling with only 16 hours' notice--after weeks of planning and excitement. We had 10 kids ready to go, and at the last minute, they just bailed on us. The owner didn't even call, he just sent a TEXT at 8pm on a Saturday night that said the employee who was supposed to run the party was injured and he couldn't find anyone else to run the party. I'm not sure how an establishment like this doesn't have a back up plan for these circumstances. There was no attempt to make it right, just a "sorry, we can't do it" and you can have a refund or rebook for a discount. The refund took days to get to me and ZERO dates or suggestions were given for rebooking. The lack of professionalism is astounding. How do you run a business like this? A children's birthday party is not something you just cancel on a whim. We were left scrambling to come up with a backup plan, and let me tell you, finding something - anything - with that little time was near impossible. Save yourself the headache and book with a company that actually values their customers. Knockerball Michigan clearly doesn't care about reliability, professionalism, or doing the right thing. Avoid at all costs.

Although I never actually participated, it was hilarious to watch. One of the staff gathered all the kids together and explained the rules and how they would play about 3-5 games in the time span of 2 hours with breaks. At the very end she let me just have a free roam. I was almost on the floor laughing. Kids were being bounced all over the place, doing all types of flips, kicks, tricks and rolls. After about 35 minutes I could tell they were exhausted!!! I was almost as tired from laughing. Unfortunately being as I was invited myself, I don't have the exact prices for the event, but I would call or go on their website. Overall I enjoyed watching and think it's really unique idea. I told myself I'd come back with a group of friends and actually get in this time as it's for all ages to knock some people around!

This was at 11am in a Saturday, so they had only been open for an hour, with the amount of people in the building at that time, it's physically impossible for them to have used and emptied all the dispensers of sanitizer, unless everyone was sanitizing their hands every 3 seconds for an hour straight. When the staff was alerted that there was also no working soap dispensers in the men's room, rather than go and check, they argued and told us we were wrong. The inflatable throne in our party room was also disgusting and looked like it probably hadn't ever been wiped down with any sort of cleaning solution.

I'm a Chicago gal who was trying to plan a wedding in SW Michigan (or anywhere between Detroit and…read moreChicago) to keep it close to home and family. I was initially reluctant to use a wedding/event planner for several reasons - wanting to save money, being fairly crafty/creative myself and having confidence in handling on my own details in pursuing something less "traditional", and being pretty resourceful. Shortly into the planning process, I realized it was going to be harder than I thought. I then met Mandi Buckland of Element Design. What sealed the deal was her calm energy and diversity in events she's worked on (weddings, parties, festivals, including "green" fests/events). She was great in identifying several unique wedding location options in Southwest and Southern MI, including a fabulous barn, a garden, and a super cool lodge (we ended up at a mansion in Holland). When I asked her to design the invitations with a "modern art nouveau theme" using a peacock to match the theme of a mansion built in the early 1900s (not easy!) - she provided several fabulous sample designs within a short period of time. Our final invitations were really unique and fun! After our invites went out, I received an unexpected amount of of great feedback ("I love your invitations!" "They are so unique," etc.) and I could tell they made people look forward to the wedding. I felt like Mandi figured out my sense of my style quickly, and she was able to identify options that fit that were creative, cost-conscious (extra plus) and didn't compromise on quality. At the same time she was working with me, she was helping a friend design invitations for a wedding at the Drake Hotel in Chicago, so her range of work can be simple, arty/less traditional, to more traditional/upscale. Pretty impressive! Mandi is professional, efficient, super creative, and I would recommend her to anyone in Chicago, Detroit (or anywhere in between the two cities in Michigan or Illinois) who is planning a wedding in Southwest or Southern Michigan!

Rob, one of the owners of EEG, called me without hesitation or reservation. He didn't make me feel like an idiot for calling 2 days before my wedding. He just assessed what I wanted, made sure they had the lighting to do so, gave me a quote and set it all up the day of the wedding. I received TONS of compliments with how beautiful the room looked and the amazing lighting and decor. My wedding theme was more romantic, with lots of votive candles, but the one thing I wanted more than anything (as far as wedding decor) were bistro lighting over the dance floor to look like my husband and I were dancing underneath the stars. He was also able to add the sheer cloth with stringed lights for our the back of our headtable... which really made a difference in the room! First of all, not that many lighting vendors even can do that. Second, EEG was the only vendor who attended to me with such short notice. When I talked to Rob and asked how he was able to do it, he simply told me EEG loves to do weddings and was excited for this challenge. They truly made my dream wedding come true. Rob is amazing to work with! He and the rest of the EEG staff are so amazing and very diligent workers. He told me he had 6 other weddings to set-up and tear down, but it did not interfere with the amazing work they put up for us. Hands down, one of the best vendors I've worked with!! And I truly recommend the Encore Event Group for all your lighting, decor and sound needs!!
