Best decision we made when planning our wedding!

Working with Stephanie as our wedding day coordinator was the best decision we made throughout the entire wedding planning process. She is so fun to work with and brings so much joy and creativity to the process. Stephanie will be transparent and honest with you each step of the way, even if there are many unknowns, which I so appreciated when planning throughout the pandemic, when it felt like everything was unknown at one point. In the month leading up to the wedding, I felt like no matter what happened on the day of the wedding, everything would be okay because we had Stephanie on our team and she's a true expert at what she does. From creating the perfect color palette, to coordinating rentals, directing our wedding party, and answering our families' (many) questions - Stephanie brought the perfect balance of fun and professional that allowed us to truly soak in the love and joy of our wedding day. I cannot recommend working with Union Event Co. enough!

We worked with Stephanie and Josephine from Union Event Co. for Day-Of coordination services and they did a fantastic job! The wedding was in Hood River and we had to do all the planning remotely. Their services really came through in the last few weeks leading up to the wedding, with the rehearsal and actual wedding itself. Stephanie was great with answering questions and suggesting vendors in the months leading up to the wedding and was very responsive. They were instrumental in the ceremony rehearsal, since we had no clue what to do! And Josephine was our Day-Of, and she and her assistant did an amazing job. The place looked stunning when we showed up (we did the bulk of big set up the day before and they filled in all the beautiful details). It ran so smoothly and they just moved furniture around and broke stuff down as the event went on. As a bride, it was wonderful to actually get to enjoy the day rather than worry about moving chairs or setting up catering. They handled communications with some of the less communicative vendors and even went back to the venue after the big day to pick up some rentals that accidentally got left behind, saving me some fees I would have otherwise been charged. We were just so impressed and I would recommend Stephanie and her group to any couple thinking about coordination services!

Stephanie and Union Event Co. are amazing. Not only are they kind and professional, but they are so organized and into your vision for your wedding. Working with Union is honestly the least stressful part of my wedding. I 100% recommend them to everyone that wants a company that is on their game, knows how to make a beautiful event, and takes all the worry and stress away. They really make your day your dream come true.

I can't imagine what would have happened if we hadn't hired Stephanie and her team to coordinate our wedding. They handled every aspect with such professionalism and made the wedding day so much more relaxing for us- we truly didn't have to worry about anything in their capable hands. I can't stress enough how necessary Union Event Co. was to our wedding- I am so glad we hired them and would do it again in a heartbeat. For the amount of work they put it, their prices are very reasonable as well. If you are considering them for your wedding or event, just do it! You will not regret it.

Of all the decisions my wife-to-be and I made leading up to our wedding, booking Stephanie at Union Event Co to handle our day of coordination was by far our smartest. Stephanie made our wedding day run as smooth as could be and was an amazing outlet to handle the myriad little things that came up throughout the day. Stop wasting another moment hemming and hawing about whether this is a good idea and/or worth the cost. It is and it is.

With a growing list of projects, costs, and uncountable unforeseen tasks involved in the planning of a wedding, it was super important for us to work with like-minded professionals who wanted to get to know us and our vision. Working within a somewhat tight budget, we were not sure a day-of wedding coordinator was possible, but now realize it should have been the top priority. We were extremely happy with our day, but we could not have done it without Stephanie.

Here’s how we found Stephanie…
Us to our friend who worked with Stephanie before: “How did you like working with Stephanie?”
Our friend (without hesitation): “It was the single best decision we made.”

Flash forward to today…
You, by way of reading this review: “How did you like working with Stephanie?”
Us (without hesitation): “It was the single best decision we made.”

From a pre-wedding strategy standpoint, Stephanie provided the insight and direction we needed and helped round out our ideas to make them more achievable. On-site for the rehearsal and the wedding day itself, Stephanie was amazing. She was running around doing a ton, but the most important takeaway for us was that she provided the logistical buffer we needed to truly enjoy the day.

Beyond any of this, she is freaking cool. I found myself wanting to talk to her more than some of our guests at the wedding. We can’t wait to catch up and buy her a drink soon!

We worked with Stephanie as our day-of coordinator, and it was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day. I can't even imagine how much Stephanie would kill it if you gave her the reigns on your whole event or wedding. Seriously, an amazingly professional person who really knows her stuff, and is a delight to work with to boot. We got some many compliments regarding her take charge with a positive can do attitude on the day. Would not hesitate to recommend her and her outfit for any event, in fact, I have already :)

Life savers!!! I was introduced to Stephanie from Union Event Co. after two wedding coordinators from my venue fell through. Here I was six months from my wedding and had not heard a peep from my wedding venue about all the coordinator turn over.. In comes Stephanie... My modern day super hero!! From our first encounter till after our wedding Stephanie was amazing. She listened when I needed to vent and was an amazing sound board to bounce ideas off of. I knew on the day of my wedding that everything would be amazing wth Stephanie at the helm. I would recommend everyone at union event co as they truly make dreams happen!

Great to Work With

We're so glad that we met Stephanie - she made our day go perfectly. Even as unexpected things came up, she made it all go smoothly and took care of those things so that we didn't have to. Neither my wife or I had been involved with planning a wedding before this, so as we were learning how to do it all, Stephanie was especially flexible in answering our many questions.

We would recommend working with Stephanie if you're looking at the Gorge area!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
