Upscale Events provided exceptions services for my baby shower. This vendor handled every detail and dealt with any challenges along the way. My due date changed and so we had to change the date of the baby shower. Mrs. Flowers got right on the case and we had a new date the next day. She handles each event as if it were her own, making sure the event will be unforgettable and breathtaking. My friends and family are raving about the baby shower. They enjoyed every minute from the lovely facility, food to interactive games. Mrs. Flowers pieced together every detail so that each aspect of my shower centered around my theme and vision. She communicated with all other vendors involved which took tremendous stress off of me. She is meticulous and made sure the contracts were accurate and representative of the services I desired. I had a radiant shower! I will continue to use Upscale Events :)

Working with Upscale Events was by far the best investment we made in planning our wedding! Erika was a delight to work with and on top of every single detail... event things we hadn't even thought about or considered. Our day was beyond beautiful and beyond what either of us had hoped or dreamed of. All of our family and friends are still talking about how much they enjoyed themselves. My 92 year-old aunt even said it was the "best wedding she had been to in 92 years!"

Erika is the GREATEST!!! My wedding was smooth sailing thanks to Erika. Trust me ladies the little details that you may overlook or things you just don't think of, trust me Erika has a plan and a solution for everything. From day one I knew I was in good hands, she took all the stress out of planning and on the day of the wedding We were able to "be in the moment" and enjoy every aspect of the day. I have no regrets my day turned out beautifully thanks to Erika and her team! Thanks Torrence for keeping the Hubby in line, a lot of guys dread this panning process but Torrence helped keep the groom focused lol We have already started recommended Upscale Events to others Thanks Guys!!!

Our wedding turned out beautifully and Erika was a pleasure to work with every step of the way! Erika made sure "our day" went perfectly, we were very impressed with how everything came together and how free we were to enjoy the day. She helped us with most every decision along the way, and was able to keep us focused on everything we had to do to be ready for the day. I highly recommend Upscale Events!

We so appreciated Erika's professionalism, lovely personality and most of all skills and know-how! We feel we lucked out in finding Upscale Events. For the reasons stated above, but also because Erika made excellent vendor recommendations. Our photos were fabulous, food was delicious and elegantly presented, and flowers couldn't have been lovelier. Several people told us after the wedding that they never saw such gorgeous wedding flowers. Guests clearly loved the cake, too. (This had been one of my requests -- I wanted a cake that actually tasted good (not too sweet) as well as looked good.) Upscale Events made the recommendations regarding all of these services.

One of the biggest helps was being able to have our music queued up and played for us -- I wasn't sure how we were going to handle that, but Upscale Events came to the rescue.

I recommend Upscale Events wholeheartedly -- we had a wedding day lovely beyond our hopes and it is in big part due to Erika and her wonderful team.

I got engaged, then I ended up pregnant the following year so I pushed the wedding out. I was working with upscale events for 3 years and by the time the wedding came we were like family. I appreciated the time, effort and dedication that was put to my special day! My wedding had fights, drunken speech, and cops were called and I, the bride, had no clue until the wedding was over! They did an excellent job keeping everything under control and I can't thank them enough for making my wedding one of the best days of my life! They will do every event for me and the rest of my family as long as they are in business! Love upscale events!!! :) :)
