Services Offered
EPIC Event Specialists offers three wedding packages to accommodate couples at every stage in their process.

During this meeting, they will establish a realistic timeline and budget, assist in deciding colors and themes, make vendor recommendations, and more. For clients who prefer to make all their own arrangements but want someone to ensure everything runs smoothly, Month-of Coordination is the best fit. This option comes with a meeting three months ahead of the big day, timeline creation, liaising with vendors, help with on-site deliveries, cleanup, and more. The company also offers an All Inclusive Package that guarantees to take care of all the details. Event styling, including exquisite lighting, floral arrangements, and dining décor, is also available.

She created a beautiful intimate environment for my wedding and reception

Diane was very attentive throughout the whole process. She paid attention to detail while creating the perfect atmosphere. My wedding was an evening wedding and I wanted that type of ambience and she provided that. She was open minded and passionate and ensuring that our wedding will be a memorable one,

Bridgerton Birthday party

I hired this company to decorate my husbands Birthday party. I gave them the theme which was Bridgerton and they went to look at the location to scout how they would set everything up and they went to from there. They got everything needed and let their imagination flow. They didnt give us too many details so that we could walk in to a wow and that is what happened. We loved the entire setup. It was the perfect setup for the Bridgerton ball.
