A must have!

Out of all the things we spent money on, Mrs. Pattie was the BEST thing we spent money on. There is absolutely no way we could have executed our wedding day/vision without her expertise, care, love, and attention to detail. I knew by the sessions that we had it was going to turn out amazing. But we were speechless when we saw the execution. Mrs. Pattie always listened to us and made us think of every single detail so things would run smoothly. She has so many ideas and comes with lists of vendors as well. We sent her a slideshow of our vision and she made it come to life with ease! She is never nervous or worried. She keeps a cool head which makes you feel at ease. If anything did go wrong on our day we have no clue about it. To us, it was PERFECT. I didn’t think a perfect wedding day existed but she made it happen! By the time it’s all said and done you will consider her and her staff family. If you are thinking about hiring Mrs. Pattie and the Encore team DO IT! Make your life easier!

Unforgettable moment 💜

I cannot say enough amazing things about Patte of Encore Professional Event Planning. From the very beginning of the planning process to the day of my event, she was absolutely phenomenal. She truly made my dream a reality.
Everything I asked for—she delivered and more. The attention to detail, creativity, organization, and care she put into my 45th birthday celebration and 25th wedding vow renewal exceeded all of my expectations.

The Best of the Best

As a professional woman who belongs to several organizations, I have had the opportunity to work with many venues in the planning of special events. I have found Encore to be the best in every area. The professionalism, products used, accommodating spirit places them above the rest. Several years ago, I had the pleasure of working with Encore as my church celebrated its 150th anniversary. The decor was perfect. The room dazzled. All in attendance were amazed and gave raving reviews. Without a doubt Encore is the “Best of the Best.”

Encore is an exceptional event planning company! I was elated with the professional services provided in coordinating my Milestone Birthday Gala last year. The feedback from my guest was extremely positive. I appreciated the creative approach to planning and the execution of every detail. Encore is committed to customer satisfaction and operates with excellence. The owner was courteous, patient and easy to work with. She demonstrated genuine concern for the success of my event. Encore was able to turn my dream for a spectacular day into reality. I look forward to using Encore for my next upcoming event.

Two weeks ending in a magical night!


Eased our stress and helped immensely in the two weeks leading up to our wedding. Despite having plans prior to being hired, she selflessly stopped everything to provide her hands-on support for our special day. Her dedication was truly remarkable and made us feel incredibly cared for.

Her communication was superb, always keeping us in the loop and ensuring we were comfortable with every decision. She maintained a pleasant and organized demeanor throughout, which was so reassuring during such a hectic time. Her wealth of information and resourcefulness proved invaluable, and she offered solutions that were both effective and affordable.

In every professional aspect, she excelled. Her meticulous attention to detail ensured that everything went smoothly. She transformed what could have been a stressful experience into something easy and breezy, taking all the worry away. This was especially impressive given the challenge of unifying two very different families and groups of friends. Her skillful handling of these dynamics made everyone feel welcome and included.

Even after the wedding, her support did not wane. She continued to help us navigate the post-wedding tasks and made sure everything was wrapped up perfectly. Her commitment to our happiness extended beyond the wedding day, showing just how dedicated she is to her clients.

We couldn't have asked for a better person to help us through this significant milestone. She truly took all the stress away and turned our dream into reality. There are no improvements needed; she is perfect just the way she is.
