My wedding coordinator
Seriously I cannot thank Brandy enough! She was the most helpful, kind, sweetest & patient wedding coordinator I could have ever asked for! Always had a smile on her face & always stayed so positive even through out little hiccups here and there! She always made sure my appointments where set up on time & accordingly. Without her idk what I would have done! She always took care of the things I couldn’t do, or didn’t know how to do & always answered any questions I had no matter how little my question was. I never had to wonder if she would answer or text back she was always on it! Always kept it so professional yet still so down to earth! Can’t thank her enough!

Amazing Service
John at Chapel Events went above and beyond to provide the absolute best service for the baby shower i threw my friend. He was very organized and he knows his stuff when it comes to planning events. He has great inventory. He provided table clothes, runners, charger plates, napkins, a balloon arch, & cupcake stands. He also made bouquets of flowers for the center pieces, provided tea lights & brought extra dishes for the appetizers we provided. He provided almost everything we needed for the event and even brought extra things i would have forgotten. He kept great communication throughout the week before the event & he even helped us set the event up and gave great input. The baby shower turned out so great. I would definitely recommend Chapel Events to everyone for any event.

Excellent service and decor! 😍
John at Chapel Events really came through with some amazing decor for my baby shower. I gave him the colors I had in mind and John brought my vision to life with beautiful tablescapes and additional decorations. Chapel Events really took my baby shower from basic to FABULOUS! I am beyond grateful & I’ll definitely be hiring them for future events.

Olive & Orange was an overall fantastic experience, when I inquired about the Venue, Staff responded right away with all the information I would need.
My review of the Olive and Orange Bistro was over a five star review. The pricing, decorations and food was excellent. They created a package for my budget. The Venue is beautiful and classy! My guest were very impressed and enjoyed the evening from beginning to end. I am already planning my next event!

Practically Perfect in Every Way
From my first meeting when I got to share my ideas to the end of my birthday party this was a perfect experience. Brandy made me feel heard in my ideas for the party & she filled in all the gaps with amazingness of things I didn’t think of. She contacted all my vendors & took that load off. She got sick the week of my party & John the owner too over seamlessly. He kept me up to date throughout the week of the event. Amazing & worth it. I didn’t have to worry about a thing. My favorite moment was the surprise sparkler dance.
