    Best wedding coordinator

    Carisa & team were great to work with! I had found adornment Events on the knot as a suggested vendor. I reached out to my venue to see if they had worked with them before, they had and had really great things to say about them! So i reached out to adornment and set up a video call. Carisa was great, she is very kind, patient and really seemed excited about what she does! Leading up to my wedding she was always very timely with her responses back & very helpful. She made me feel like I was the only bride she was working with, even though I know she was very busy! My wedding day went very smoothly, despite it raining and having to move the outdoor reception mostly indoors, Carisa and her team did a great job! I could not have done it without them, they made my day perfect!

    Incredible Event Team in Portland Oregon!

    When my daughter got engaged, my friends all advised me to hire a wedding planner. This, by the way, is the best advice ever! We checked our options in the Portland area and Carisa Smith of Adornment Events matched our criteria. Carisa came highly recommended from a longtime friend who had used Carisa extensively for events.

    Carisa Smith and Adornment Events are fantastic! They helped us with the initial stages of the wedding planning, including a 75 person engagement party held in our home. Carisa Smith has invaluable connections to the best vendors. She is respected and well liked in the event community. She took our vision and executed it flawlessly from start to finish. Her team at Adornment Events are professionals who can take a plan and deliver it to the highest expectations.

    As the type “A” Mom of a type “A” bride—Carisa mitigated the stress. The day of the wedding came and I could just enjoy the day. It was the perfect day. In fact, my daughter thanked me at the end of the night saying it was the “most perfect day”. It doesn’t get better than that.

    There are so many good things that I could say about Adornment Events and Carisa Smith. I highly recommend them for your next event. You will not be disappointed.

    Adornment Events's reply:

    Thank you Alice! Working with your family brought love, vision, intention and beauty to the end result. Truly our pleasure to get to know you, work with you and bring this to life!

    Best Wedding Ever!

    Carisa and her team at Adornment did an amazing job putting together our wedding! It was the most perfect day and so many of our guests named it the "best wedding ever"! She brought our vision to life - modern, chic & romantic. I appreciated Carisa working with me on all my ideas, changes and many many questions throughout the planning process. When the big day finally came, my expectations were exceeded. From start to finish the entire event was seamless. Each detail was so thought out and intentional, executed by an amazing vendor team, to create the ultimate wedding experience.

    I highly recommend Adornment Events! Our wedding was everything we could have dreamed of and more.

    Adornment Events's reply:

    Alyssa, thank you for matching with us so perfectly. You completely entrusted us and allowed us to bring your vision to life. We are so proud of your wedding day and grateful for you and AJ xo

    Highly recommend! Incredible design and execution.

    Would highly recommend Adornment Events for wedding planning! Carisa and her team at Adornment helped us create the most perfect wedding that captured who we are as individuals and us as a couple. They brought our vision to life, creating a true experience for our guests, which was our goal from the start. The icing on the cake was their exceptional eye for design, which made for a truly beautiful event. Because of Adornment, we believe we had a dream team of vendors that all executed so beautifully and worked seamlessly together. Thank you so much!

    Best wedding decision!

    The best decision by far we made for our wedding was to have Carisa and Adornment Events! We had no idea where to start a year out from the wedding date, but Carisa held our hands the entire way. She seamlessly planned a 2 day wedding celebration and then executed it to perfection. We felt absolutely no stress about the details leading up to and on our big day and that is truly priceless. We were able to just enjoy ourselves and know that Carisa and her team had our back. Carisa is thoughtful, professional, and best of all she's now our friend :)

    No one does it better!

    Carisa and the team at Adornment are top notch. Not only are they communicative, never missing a detail, and all the other things you need in a wedding coordinator, they are also just an absolute JOY to be around. Carisa brings the energy and is exactly the person you want on your side through all the moments - from rehearsal to send off. There’s nobody else I could have trusted to hand the reigns over to on our wedding day.

    Best Planning Team!!

    Carisa and her team of rockstars at Adornment Events are so incredible. During our first phone call with Carisa, I could tell how much she cared about providing fantastic wedding day experiences for her couples, and how detail oriented she is. Throughout all of the planning process she was beyond helpful and was truly a joy to work with. She answered all of my (many) questions with positivity and enthusiasm as if we were the #1 thing on her mind.

    When planning a wedding you have so many vendors that come together to create your special day. Carisa and her team were the glue that brought our entire vendor team together. Having her manage the communication across the vendor team and work behind the scenes to make sure everything was set up according to plan was amazing. Having worked in the event industry in the past, I knew that inevitably there would be some curveballs thrown at us during wedding week/day. Carisa handled these curveballs with grace and a "get it done" attitude.

    I HIGHLY recommend Carisa and the entire team at Adornment Events. It was a joy to work with them while planning our wedding and we are so thankful for their hard work making our dream day a reality.

    Carisa + team are the best in the biz

    I absolutely LOVED working Carisa and her team at Adornment! They were able to tailor their services specific to our needs for our wedding and Carisa is an OH in this area and knows everyone, she had the best connections and really made the planning process stress-free! And she handled the stressful day of things for us with ease. Her team executed details and suggestions that were exactly what we were hoping for for our mountain top wedding. Her and her team were even prepared when rain ended up being in the forecast and pivoted things so seamlessly like it was meant to be that way all along. Very happy bride and groom here!

    11/10 Experience!

    Coming up with the words to describe what an amazing experience my partner and I had with Carisa and her team is truly difficult. I worked with Carisa for an entire year planning three large out of town events at Coopers Hall, CH Northeast, and Amaterra Winery. From negotiating with venues, vendor referrals, to bringing a vision to life, directing us to things we never would have thought of, sticking with our budget, and providing relief to my anxious personality-Saying Carisa went above and beyond is a gross understatement!!

    Adornment events made our entire experience flawless and on the actual event days, even when things went wrong- we never knew because her team handled everything from point A to point Z. They made it so we could focus on celebrating and be completely present with our loved ones!

    It’s been almost a month since our wedding and I’m still receiving calls from guests regarding how flawless and beautiful our events were.

    I would rate Adornment more than 5 stars if it were possible- 11/10 experience all around. Run don’t walk.

    Best wedding planner ever!

    Carisa and the entire Adornment team were the best decision we could have made to plan our entire wedding from start to finish! Our destination wedding in Oregon was everything and more than we could’ve asked for. Carisa is nothing short of amazing! She took the time to get to know us personally and put together our dream wedding just the way we had imagined it! She was very attentive and organized at setting up meetings and she took care of the entire wedding day details, all my husband and I did was get to take in the day and enjoy it. I would definitely recommend adornment events for your big day, they’re kind, very professional and now lifelong friends.

    Wedding Planner

    We all know trying to plan a wedding is quite a daunting task. I was a little overwhelmed when I started the journey, but overall so glad I was able to connect with incredible vendors. I would have hired Carisa and her team for full planning if I could. It wasn't in our budget due to life and the pandemic. But, so happy we hired them as our partial planning team. Everyone we worked with was kind, understanding, and flexible with our ideas. My husband and I had a particular theme we wanted, and they helped us create the perfect environment. So grateful to have found Adornment Events!

    Incredible Partners for Our Wedding

    We were thrilled with the creativity, thoroughness, and attention to detail (among a hundred other things) that Carissa and her team at Adornment Events brought to planning and creating our wedding day. The time they spent getting to know us, our style/aesthetic paid off wonderfully in a stellar experience that we shared together as well as with our guests.

    Organization was key to keep “all the plates spinning” – we couldn’t have done it without them, and with results that exceeded our dreams. Thank you!

    Flexible and awesome!

    Carisa and team were great coordinators for our wedding. We had so many back and forth changes with covid, venue, guest count, etc. - even up to the morning of, and they were flexible and made it come together so seamlessly! As someone who is very type-A, I felt really relaxed. Truly, I did not worry about anything... Carisa gave me the right amount of updates but also allowed us our space to be in the moment and just enjoy the day as we were getting ready. They were so creative with last minute locations for our guest book, neon sign, re-purpose of florals, etc. etc.

    The perfect wedding!

    It was the perfect wedding and weekend. Adornment Events with Carisa and Kelsey made it all come together so magically for my daughter’s wedding. I truly got to enjoy the moments and not worry about anything except being there with my beautiful bride and daughters. They offered great suggestions throughout the planning process! I could not be more pleased with their expertise making the wedding a perfect day!

    Best Team Ever

    I cannot speak any more highly of Carisa and the Adornment Events team. When I say our wedding day was executed with no problems - I truly mean it! We had the most perfect day, and absolutely everything was taken care of by the adornment team. Not a singular thing went wrong (much to my amazement). The Adornment team was so supportive throughout the entire wedding planning process and helped make my new husband and I's dream wedding a reality - going above and beyond to help me stay within my budget while focusing on intentional and impactful design decisions. I wish I could do it all over again just to have more time to hang out with the adornment team and their vendors! Truly the best addition to the wedding and I could not imagine doing it without them. 10/10 would recommend to anyone and everyone!

    Phenomenal!

    The absolute best decision I made during wedding planning was to work with Carisa and the Adornment Events team. I don't know if I would have made it without them. My husband loved working with them too! I love that he was included in the design discussions and it wasn't just left to the bride. I would work with them again and again and highly recommend Carisa and the entire Adornment team!

    ADORNMENT EVENTS- 12/10 would recommend!

    If you are questioning getting a wedding planner take this review as a sign that you need to hire Carisa and her team right away! We were a couple who got engaged at the height of COVID and decided to plan when everything was locked down. Because we weren't able to visit venues or talk to vendors face to face, we had to put our complete trust in Carisa to take our multiple wishes and thoughts into a real life plan. She and her team went ABOVE and beyond. They recommended high quality vendors who matched our needs (their partner DJ- Josh knew how to read the room perfectly to keep the party going). They anticipated questions we did not know to ask. Carisa and her team created multiple plans because the COVID restrictions evolved day by day, putting our nerves and worries at ease that no matter what happened they would make the day magical. Our day was so magical and there is no way we would have been able to put together such an organized and stress free day without her help

    Absolutely amazing

    Carisa and her team were amazing to work with. When I first began planning I though I could handle everything on my own and quickly learned that having someone to help was a must. I was trying to plan a small elopement from out of state and was becoming overwhelmed not only with all the choices but the constant changes with all the covid regulations. It was great to find someone in the area that was so knowledgeable and able to help me every step of the way. I changed my mind a millon times, went back and forth between options multiple times and Carisa was so understanding and patient the entire time. The girls at adornment events were truly a god send and helped create an absolute fairy tale day!

    Adornment was the Natural Choice

    Carisa and her team pulled off my dream wedding amidst changing COVID restrictions! Throughout the whole process of planning I felt heard and knew that they were working hard to give us everything we needed. We had searched and searched for a violin trio, Carisa found one in a week, on the island, under budget! They work quietly behind the scenes and are fabulous to engage with, work alongside and collaborate with. She and her team work incredibly hard and are a great value; we got more than what we paid for. They surround you with joy and positivity the whole process.
