Worth Every Cent for Day of Planning!

We hired Capella and Empress as our day of planners for our elopement in Montana and rented several items from Empress. The items we rented were fairly priced, exactly as pictured and described, clean, and so cute. They simply have the best selection in Flathead County. We originally worked with Lynn, who was so kind and knowledgeable. I am a highly anxious person with OCD for tiny details and organization, and she made me feel calm every time I talked to her. When it was time for the event itself (and leading up to it) we worked with Capella, and I cannot say enough good things or come up with the words to express how impressed I was. I have seen so many weddings be a complete mess when the day of planner drops the ball, and Capella was calm, organized, on top of it, creative, thoughtful, and executed my vision to a perfect T. I plan events as part of my professional career, and I had extremely high expectations for Capella. She met them, and far exceeded them. I arrived back from our epic photo shoot in Glacier to every single thing done, every person ready to go, and her calm as can be even though we were 45 minutes late from our photos. Capella was worth every single penny I spent and I would hire her again in a heart beat and recommend her to every single person. We came all the way to Montana from Salt Lake City, Utah, and I relied on Capella and Lynn heavily for recommendations and execution of our dream. I can't express how well they did and how impressed I was. THANK YOU CAPELLA!!! I love you, girl!

One stop shop! Designing, coordinating, and planning

Lynn and her team at Empress Tents and Events are what you call the dream team. The ladies there knew exactly what we were wanting for our big day. We met with Lynn a few times and through all the confusing explaining of what we wanted, Lynn was easily able to piece it all together. She understood the exact style we were going for without us being able to say exactly what it was! She is very talented and can easily assemble something together to make it look like a master piece.
Lynn and her team also were able to get things put together with limited timing. We had a few supplies/decorations arrive the day before the wedding... they worked late friday night to complete it all. They are determine, so easy to work with, and so fun! Empress Tents and Events is your one stop stop!

So much beautiful decor!

We loved working with Empress! Lynn met with us in the showroom and we were able to pick out everything! We rented two Emerald green velvet clam chairs, a bunch of green and brown goblets, yard games, and a sweetheart table. Everything was perfect! They have such beautiful stuff to select from and all different styles!

Lynn helped us plan our wedding from afar. We live in Alabama but were getting married in Montana. She did an incredible job taking a few of our ideas and turning them in to a reality. From setup to clean up she did an amazing job. Since the wedding, guests have continued to tell us what a beautiful, elegant, and classy event we had. The day ran so smoothly! We highly recommend Lynn and Empress Tents & Events!

I planned my wedding in Noxon, MT all the way from TN. I am so glad that I found Empress Tents & Events online while looking for vendors not knowing a lot about the Montana area. Working with Lynn made my planning from afar so much easier and I felt way more at ease placing my wedding vision in her hands. When it came time for the wedding, and we got to meet Lynn in person, she made sure that everything about my wedding was perfect. We had our wedding outside and there was a bad mosquito issue but Lynn helped us remain calm and did some last minute changes to still make everything work out beautifully.

Including Empress Tents & Events was the best decision for our wedding planning. I highly recommend Lynn and her team to produce a beautiful wedding/event no matter what style you want. She’s got tons of beautiful pieces to choose from! She also make a wonderful planner! Thank you Empress Tents & Events!

Rented tents from them and they were great. Lynn also helped me with tux rentals and in purchasing my bridesmaid dresses. She was always willing to answer my questions and help in anyway that she could. Her staff is also very professional and courteous.

Lynn does an outstanding job! We had an outdoor wedding on our property and she came out ahead of time to talk to us about layout, what we needed to rent, how the ceremony would progress, design ideas, etc. She set all the tables on the wedding day so that we could relax and get ready for the day and they looked beautiful when she got done. She is very adaptable no matter what the weather does. She works very well with other vendors and will just dive in to help wherever she is needed -- telling guests the plans, helping serve food, drinks, cake, clearing tables, etc. When I forgot the plastic forks for the wedding cake no worries, Lynn had an emergency stash in her vehicle. Her crew delivered all equipment on time and were very patient when we wanted to discuss things. I highly recommend Empress Tents and Events.

Everything you need!

This place has everything! We planned a destination wedding and definitely didn’t want to tackle linens or furniture pieces. With a little larger budget, I would have rented so much more! Thanks to Lynn and her team for delivering and picking up on time. It definitely made for a stress free experience.

It is with my sincerest compliments that I recommend Lynn Malmberg and Empress Tents & Events for wedding rentals and as a wedding coordinator and planner. Lynn was my saving grace after a near crisis, when our venue was pulled from us. First, Lynn helped us find our dream venue near West Glacier National Park. We had looked for an outdoor venue with a barn all over Montana, and after our date was taken from us for one location, Lynn helped us find Weatherwood Homestead, owned by Patti Widener. The estate is absolutely gorgeous, and Lynn works as the primary coordinator with her staff alongside the Weatherwood staff. Lynn has a keen sense of style and an ability to bring together all the elements and elegance of country wedding. I felt so confident in her that I told her to make many of the final decisions. I gave guidance on what I wanted and she executed with grace.
Lynn is also an absolute pleasure to work with because of her level head and ability to keep one on track and calm despite all the details. We averted a few small crises, which were omissions by us, but she pulled it all together. Her staff and the staff at Weatherwood also have wonderful spirits and built an atmosphere of joy for us. I cannot speak more highly of them and Patti Widener and her staff. They gave me my perfect wedding.
My compliments of Lynn and her staff do not stop there. Lynn went above and beyond what a typical coordinator does and also helped us with tips for other events we hosted, such as a cocktail reception that Big Mountain Resort, fly fishing, rafting, rodeo, etc. The recommendations Lynn made for other venders were also great to work with and gave great service. In particular, Pin N Que and SimpleChef Catering, who provided our bar service and catering, respectively? Anna McCabe at SimpleChef did an impeccable job with the food. It surpassed all our and our guest expectations for catered food at an outdoor wedding. Overall, it was our dream wedding!!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
