    INCREDIBLE Customer Service & SO many options!

    WOW! I've planned events for close to 10 years and never met a linen vendor with so many fabulous options. We found the perfect options for my wedding as well as my company's holiday party. The best part was working with the S.O. team though. They were incredibly kind, so excited about aligning to the vision of our events, and were 100% reliable. I would highly recommend working with Special Occasions!

    Elegant and accommodating

    Special Occasions did a wonderful job with my linen for the wedding. Everything was very nicely laid out. They also helped me with recommendations of linen we could not order cause of Covid. Everything turned out perfect and would not change anything about it. Thank you.

    Excellent personal attention, great prices

    Special Occasions East and Lorrie are amazing. Their showroom is clean and neatly organized. We made an appointment and had Lorrie's personal attention picking out all of our linen needs. Anytime I called, I was treated with respect and my questions were quickly answered. Their prices are fair and better than the metro Detroit area.

    Amazing!! :)

    Special Occasions did our linens and it looked BEAUTIFUL! We got married at Waldenwoods and wanted a simple floor length ivory linen and what a difference it made. The venue speaks for itself so we didn’t want to take that away. They were wonderful to work with and even helped with what color chivary chair would look best with the theme we were going for 🥰 we would highly recommend their services 💕

    Great for Decor

    We didn't want to have too much "DECOR" for our wedding, and by adding the beautiful linens, the gold chiavari chairs and the head table sequined table cloth, our wedding was what we wanted... Special Occasions did a great job. Everything was set up as it was needed and they were very professional. They even took care of break down. Pricing was good and I am happy we booked with them for our wedding.

    Thank you so much Paige! Your wedding was just beautiful! We can't wait to see the photos! Congratulations again!

    The chairs and linens at Special Occasions are superior to the typical rental places I first visited. The quality and selections are beautiful. The Chivari chairs were excellent quality and sturdy. I also liked there wasn’t a minimum order as we only had 50 guests. Other places wouldn’t meet with me without charging a $25 visit fee or requiring 150 guests minimum to work with you. Special Occasions had just received a new lace overlay linen which was perfect for our wedding.

    My son's wedding was at Castle Farms in Charlevoix. After checking rental places in Northern Michigan, no one compared to the quality of rentals and the customer service of Special Occasions East, Grand Blanc.

    One aspect that sets Special Occasions apart is that you are able to go into the showroom and see the large variety of rentals available for weddings-all in pristine condition. Another plus is that the staff will graciously work with the bride by setting-up mock tablescapes to help clarify the wedding vision.

    In our case after several visits to Special Occasions, the bride decided on the gold Chiavari chairs, farmhouse tables, gold-rimmed chargers, glittered table numbers and two speciality linens. Now it was up to the owner, Lorrie, to work her magic to make it happen at a venue four hours away on a holiday weekend!

    We are so grateful that Lorrie agreed to work with Castle Farms and give of her own personal time to make sure we were able to make the wedding's set-up timeline! Ultimately, two trucks made the trip to Charlevoix with wedding cargo!

    The expertise of Special Occasion and the quality of their rentals transformed our reception room at Castle Farms! When a friend asked my husband, the groom's father, what he liked most about the wedding, he replied, "When I first saw the reception room!"

    The rentals from Special Occasions East are beautiful, the staff very helpful and the owner, patient and professional. The Smith/Papatheodore families are so appreciative of Lorrie and her staff for their willingness to work with us on our Northern Michigan destination wedding.

    Sincerely,
    Chris (Groom's Mom)

    Special Occasions LLC's reply:

    Chris, Thank you so very much for the opportunity to work with your families! We look forward to working with you again!

    I cannot say enough good things about Lorrie and her team at Special Occasions! I was blown away by the quality of both their service overall and of their rentals. We threw a tented reception in my parents backyard and Lorrie and her team arrived super early for us so that we could keep the day on track. They completed all the place settings super quick and everything looked beautiful. I would highly recommend!

    The initial meeting was so incredibly helpful in pulling together our vision that we had all jumbled in our heads! We were uncertain what exactly to do for our ceremony and reception to take place at an airplane hangar, but Lorrie and her team made it happen! And.....it was seamless! The staff were efficient and always available to answer questions throughout the entire process. The tables, chairs and all the linens were top quality. They truly pulled together the dream wedding! Thank you so much for making our day one that we will never forget!

    Special Occasions East was so great to work with. Upon arrival to pick out our linens, Lorrie greeted us with a smile and wanted to hear all about our vision. She was able to pick out linenes that matched our ideas perfectly. She showed us how our guest table would look with our specialty linens, beautiful chargers and mahogany chivari chairs. We got married at Waldenwoods and Special Occasions East was one of the first vendors there and had everything set up within no time. Special Occasions East made this one of the easiest part of wedding planning and the end result was absolutely stunning. Thank you Lorrie and the rest of the Special Occasions East team.

    We were married at Waldenwoods and used Special Occasions for our table linens. They had a wide variety to chose from and staff was super helpful and easy to work with. I loved that we could go to the showroom and try out different color combinations on the display table so we could get an idea of what our vision would look like. A few months after placing our order we needed to make some changes, with a simple email the changes were made. Linens were placed on our tables first thing the day of the wedding and looked phenomenal. I would definitely use Special Occasions again!

    My Husband and I had a great experience with Special Occasions! Our reception was absolutely stunning with the specialty linens and Chiavari chairs that we rented. Everything was already set up for us when we arrived making our jobs that much less stressful. The staff members we worked with for the consultation process were both friendly and extremely helpful. To top it all off we got some many complements on how beautiful everything was. Thank you special occasions!

    Our linens looked amazing! When we went to Special Occasion Inc. I was unsure of what I wanted, but they worked with me to find the perfect look for my venue. They took the time to show me a ton of different options and make sure that I was happy with my choices. Special Occasion Inc. definitely helped complete the look of my venue. Thank You!
