I cannot say enough good things about having a day-of coordinator, but if you're in the Portland area--you simply must book with the team at Soiree. Our day was perfect and SEAMLESS, and this was a direct result of the efforts of Whitney, Trish, and Lina. You're stressed and emotionally overwhelmed enough on your day. These ladies made sure everything JUST HAPPENED around us without any involvement or decision making needed.

From the site walk through to the rehearsal to the day of, they were there every step of the way with everything you need to have a smooth wedding day. Their time and knowledge is worth every penny. THANK YOU, SOIREE for making our day magical.

Short version for those looking to skim ::
Molli and her team at Soiree are fantastic! Great attention to detail, helpful at a moment's notice, very responsive, and conducted all details of our 80-guest Lake Oswego wedding with amazing "under the radar" tact and speed. 500% worth the cost - could not have imagined anything better for our big day!

More detailed version ::
We bought the "everything" package since I lived in Arizona and my fiance lived in Australia while we were trying to plan our wedding at The Foundry in Lake Oswego.

All of the Soiree team were very attentive and responsive. Not only is this team professional, but they also have a great eye for detail. I don't know anything about flowers or what would look good in a space, or how a wedding flows together so I sent a meager "Pinterest" board and what I got day-of was everything I could have ever wanted but had no idea I wanted in the first place!! All recommendations they gave me I took without much thought and it all came together so beautifully. I even had a last minute alteration I needed on my dress and Molli quickly made an appointment for the next morning! Amazing!

One of the most important things that I wouldn't have thought of is that Molli and Soiree have such an extensive network of wedding contacts that were all of the highest quality - from hair and makeup to alterations to last minute details, they have you COVERED and you won't even notice all the work that's going on around you, so NO STRESS EVER.

After the wedding we received so many compliments and everyone had such an amazing time. I had a lot of friends say "I'm stealing this idea for MY wedding!!" Thank you so much ladies!! Incredible day we will remember for the rest of our lives!

The people at Soirée are extraordinary in every sense of the word! They coordinated a recent wedding that I was a DJ for, and they handled everything so seamlessly. They were absolutely incredible and made the entire day perfect from start to finish! I highly recommend hiring Soirée, and was extremely impressed with their professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine excitement for the couple's special day!

Soiree is one of the premier event coordinators in the Northwest. I have only worked with them at weddings. All of their staff work very hard to make sure every detail of the wedding is implemented as the couple have envisioned. I recommend them to you.
