402 event services was the best investment we made for our wedding planning process and wedding day. We did their full service "Dream planning" package and it was truly worth every penny. They made the process so fun and stress free and helped bring our wedding vision to life better than we ever could have imagined or ever done on our own. Not only were they an excellent and well rounded planning, design and production team, they are also just wonderful people that we loved being around. They were positive, energetic, kind, creative and truly cared about us as people. They also recommended several vendors that aligned with our vision and those recommendations did not disappoint. My family and I did not have to lift a pinky on our wedding day from the very start to very end. My family and guests were beyond impressed with how seamless the day was and how stunning our production and design was, especially the extensive ceiling lightening and draping we had that elevated our venue to a whole new level. I am not one that is easily impressed or one whose expectations are easily met but I can say without a doubt that 402 event services went above and beyond and completely blew me away. We truly had the best day of our lives and have zero regrets about our wedding day. Everything was simply incredible and that is without a doubt because we had 402 on our team. We are forever grateful!
TLDR: Poor planning, poor communication, waste of money.
When you pay for a wedding planner, you hope they do some planning. Throughout my time interacting with 402 Events, I have been reminded of myself and classmates in university. Clearly winging some presentation or making it into the room with a still-warm copy of the paper due, and thinking that nobody can tell it's not A-plus. We can tell. We can all tell.
Our 6-month "Desire" package wasn't able to be started until a little over 4 months before the wedding for some reason. Now it seems they have a 4 month package available.
We were the ones in repeated contact with our vendors and other support crew members before and during the wedding because our wedding planners seemed unable to answer any form of communication aside from some e-mail messages. Luckily (?) due to our needing to connect with our vendors often, we learned that 402 Events were generally slow to respond or didn't contact them back at all.
Two days before the wedding we were told that the PDFs for the wedding signage were almost done (ALMOST!?) and they would be sending it to us for us (US?) to have printed somewhere. This was after a whole meeting the week before during which the signage was finalized and they repeatedly reassured my MIL that *they* would be making the signs. When I called to ask why we were expected to get the signs printed two days before the wedding when the signs should have been finalized days before, one wedding planner neither answered nor returned my calls, and the other claimed they couldn't have anything to do with billing. Almost all of our communications with 402 Events (that they initiated) have been in the short hours preceding an upcoming "planning meetings."
Day of, the wedding planners didn't plan ahead enough to arrive on time (15 mins late) or to have their own makeup done before our wedding. Before they went to feed the sting-rays at our zoo wedding, the planners took up space we had reserved to prepare and got ready for their big event. While my bride's family decorated and directed guests, the planners were unable to make any calls to coordinate with the arriving vendors. Maybe all three of their phones stopped working. Our family members had to prompt the 402 Events staff to start setting tables. Family members were the ones to hammer out last minute details with vendors, including a floral mishap caused by a possible event-planning phone malfunction earlier in the week.
Despite claiming to be there for us, I can't think of much they actually did for me and the bride aside from bringing us a plate of food. They didn't make a single announcement about anything during the event - including when food would be served. One guest said that when she asked if a planner knew when dinner would be served, she rudely told her that "there are schedules around" before leaving.
Unless there are some really secret behind-the-scenes things that our planners did to make our wedding happen, I really don't know what we paid for aside from a timeline (which our photographer helped with) and some glorified vision-boards. I would not recommend this service to anyone who thinks that having a wedding planner will make the event easier.
Whatever choice you make regarding using this company's service, please, please make sure you have a few competent family and friends around a few hours before, at least for make-up and stingray breaks, possibly for orchestrating the whole shebang.

Hi Ben,
We are deeply saddened to hear this and we apologize from the bottom of our hearts that you feel this way regarding our services. This is the last thing that we ever want any of our clients to feel regarding what we do here at 402 Even...
ts. If you wish to continue this conversation with our management team and owner, please email us at info@402eventservices.com and our team would be more than happy to chat with you.
Thank you for everything and we wish you and Kate nothing but the best and a happily ever after!
Marley and team are top notch! As a vendor that's done weddings all over the world, we can say with full confidence - with 402 on your team, you are in EXCELLENT hands. Super professional, collaborative, experienced, creative and so kind. Highly recommend!
Any questions?
I cannot recommended them enough! Mariah and Breanna are the reason our day went as smoothly as it did! Mariah always put our minds at ease about any forgotten detail or possible disaster that could occur. Planning the most important day of your life is incredibly stressful and if I didn't have this team to help us I wouldn't have been able to enjoy my day as much as I did!
I was grateful to have 402 Events as my day of coordinators for my wedding on 12/31/2022. I am a very detailed-oriented person, especially for my wedding, so to have help with that was nice. The biggest worry for me was the setup and cleanup for the venue so I was really glad to have Tia and Annica help me with that. Working with Steven at the beginning was also good - I can tell how passionate he is about his business and I appreciate his honesty, to-the-point, no-BS approach to the wedding industry lol! Especially because my husband and I don't live in Omaha, it was nice having this to help - i almost wish I would have done the month of package instead because that was when everything was really busy.
The only thing I had a little trouble with was I felt like the coordinators pulled me aside a bit too often at the reception. I would get nervous every time they said hey we need to chat with you, my first thought was oh no something is wrong. And i didn't really like feeling that way so I wish we could have just talked after the wedding because some of it could have waited I felt (telling me rentals didn't show up... stuff like that where you can't really do anything about it in that very moment). By the end of the night, I was super overwhelmed and tired from such a long day, and I was still getting questions on where things go in what car which made me irritated because we had gone over that prior to the wedding. so my husband helped them with that while I went to bed but I was just a little frustrated because I had provided SO much detail on everything prior to the day of that I really hoped I didn't have to get pulled aside to hammer things out even though I know they were only trying to help and I appreciate that.
Overall, I am glad I worked with 402 Events for my wedding especially because of the setup and clean-up services. If you are a bride that doesn't want to have to be in charge of everything on the day then they will help you. Thank you!
Booking 402 Events was the BEST decision I made for my wedding! They made all the planning, set-up, day of, and tear down so easy for myself and family members. Their execution and skills really allowed us to enjoy every step of the process and not feel stressed. Their communication is phenomenal and they have so many connections to make all your wedding dreams come true. My husband and both of our family’s have not stopped raving about 402 Events. Do not hesitate to book this amazing team!
We did the wish package for our October wedding and I cannot recommend 402 Events enough! Having a good day-of coordinator was especially important for us, since neither of us currently lives in Omaha. Steven was super helpful walking us through the various packages during our first meeting, and our coordinators Shayla and Alex did an amazing job making sure our day ran smoothly. They were also very responsive and helpful in the days leading up to the wedding as well. If anything went wrong, we didn't notice!
We did the Wish Package with 402 Events for our wedding at the Durham. We are so thankful we decided to hire them. They were so organized and easy to work with. It saved us so much time and stress having them there. Everything went so smoothly and everything looked beautiful. Most importantly, we and our families could just relax and enjoy the day.
We used 402 Events for some of our decor & lighting set up as well as the Wish Package for our wedding at The Diamond Room! They did a fantastic job with setting up Edison bulb lighting behind our head table - it looked awesome and exceeded my expectations! They also provided a boxwood greenery wall and even hung up our previously purchased neon sign for us so we didn't have to worry about it! They came and tore down everything that same evening - I never had to worry about a thing.
Sarah was our coordinator for the Wish Package and did such an amazing job! She is so organized and met with us several times prior to the wedding to make sure we had everything in order. She even helped us design a welcome/seating chart sign that turned out beautiful!
Overall I would definitely recommend 402 Events!!
Finding 402 Events and hiring them for the Dream Planning Package was the best decision we could have ever made! Steven, Marley, and the rest of the team had everything laid out for us to make our wedding planning seamless and enjoyable. Their organization and attention to detail made us feel confident that our big day would be a success. They were happy to accomodate our must-haves and suggested great ideas when we were unsure. 402 helped us from start to finish, including to help transform our venue by using globe lighting and pillar draping. We were over the moon with the end result and have already recommended 402 Events to everyone we know!!
402 Events did an incredible job! We worked with Bailey and she was excellent! Our wedding took place in Omaha but my husband and I live in Saint Louis. Bailey was extremely flexible and would meet with my mom in person and I would Zoom in for our planning meetings. For our reception we had 402 Event’s production team set up an extensive amount of draping, globe lighting, and they installed multiple chandeliers. Our venue was completely transformed and it felt like we walked into a fairy tale. It was so beautiful! Bailey made sure that everything moved seamlessly throughout our wedding day. We are so happy with our decision to use 402 Events!
Steven and his team were so wonderful to work with. We met with them and told them what we wanted our space to look like and they just did an amazing job transforming the space. They were flexible, easygoing, and were able to make changes for us throughout the process. I would recommend 402 Events to all my family and friends! They will help make all your wedding dreams come true! You should definitely hire them!
I will forever be indebted to Jordan and the 402 Event Services staff! Jordan was with me every step of the way as we planned our wedding in the uncertain times of the pandemic. When I booked the Desire (partial planning) package, I anticipated a few short meetings to answer questions and then help with day of coordination. What I got was a true wedding consultant and planner, there to answer all of my questions and help with planning along the way, as well as an awesome team to make sure everything (I truly mean everything) went smoothly the day of our wedding. Jordan helped communicate with vendors, source items we needed to purchase for favors/decor, and any other crazy thing I came up with (including having our alma mater’s mascot at the reception)! She also helped to design and coordinate our rehearsal dinner. The day of, her team worked all day to make sure everything went perfectly, from the ceremony to the reception, helping to transport and set up items at our different venues. At the reception, the team brought my husband and I our dinner and drinks through the night and made sure we stayed on schedule. THANK YOU to Jordan and her incredible staff for all their help to make our perfect day a reality.
Response from the Vendor on 12/29/2021
Thank you so much for the kinds words about Jordan! We are so happy she was able to make your wedding day a success during the uncertain times of the pandemic!
Jessica M was our day-of coordinator and she did everything that she could to help make our day less stressful. Would definitely hire again, thank you Jessica!
Response from the Vendor on 10/13/2021
Brooke, thank you so much for the kind words about our coordinator Jessica! We are glad she was able to take your stress away for your big day! Thank you again for trusting our company for day of coordination!
We had them come out and do lights and drapes in a Morton building for a wedding. Turned out exactly like we talked about they were very friendly. Would totally use them again.
Response from the Vendor on 10/13/2021
Kelly, Thank you so much for the kind words! We are glad the lighting and drapery turned out how you wanted! Thank you for using our company!
We had Paige as of day of coordinator, and she was wonderful! She was positive and calm on a day that can be very stressful. 402 Event Services was very flexible with us during a year with a lot of uncertainty.
I hired 402 Events, specifically their Wish Package and I “wished” I hadn’t. 402 was to decorate and provide Day of Coordination services as well as Vendor coordination. I was paired with Sarah who unfortunately was inexperienced. We received several complaints from our vendors including our florist, photographer, DJ, Bus Rental company and Venue. She confused our vendors, was not prepared for meetings, and provided more chaos than organization. I stepped in and managed all our vendors to ensure there was no confusion with expectations. For same day coordination my venue stepped in and managed the day, including 402 Events to ensure everything went over smooth. I provided direct feedback to the owner following the wedding of my dissatisfaction and that I could provide examples from vendor feedback, texts and emails and he stated he would research and get back to me approximately 3 weeks or so. I sent an email 3 weeks later to get an update to find out that he needs more time due to personal issues, being too busy and coordination of his internal employees’ schedules to meet with them to get feedback, taking several weeks additionally to address. By the time this is addressed, all the issues/concerns become stale. The customer service has been far from acceptable as his company was paid upfront for the work done, however I paid $750 for a service that I did not receive. Although the lighting draping and backdrop were provided as discussed, the consultative package and customer service, I would not recommend as you should not have to wait for your concerns to be addressed.
Admittedly we hired 402 Services late into our wedding planning. Originally we considered flying in a wedding coordinator from my hometown of Seattle, who had done several other friends' weddings - but it no longer made sense with COVID. We questioned the value we would get from the Desire Package since we already had a date/venue and had already booked several vendors. I'm so glad that we chose to budget for 402 as it dramatically impacted the success of our September wedding weekend, which was tip toeing around the COVID pandemic. I would consider myself highly detail-oriented/Type A - if we document how something should go or a detail that can't be missed, I expect it to be executed. If this sounds like you, then you need Colleen!
I worked closely with Colleen to perfect our wedding weekend timeline (we had events Friday through Sunday - logistics galore!) and hire the remaining vendors that we needed. In hindsight, our Seattle contact wouldn't have been nearly as resourceful or well-versed as Colleen. In addition to facilitating several details with vendors, I was so impressed with the commitment and time Colleen put into price shopping - especially when we unexpectedly needed several rentals - a detail that surely would've been caught sooner if we had hired 402 sooner! I enjoyed the centralized documentation in Google Drive, and always appreciated Colleen triaging my emails with details here and there. I felt like I could ask Colleen candid questions without judgment or persuasion. Wedding planning with Colleen was always professional and yet somehow always felt like planning with your best friend who was an expert at these things. Another benefit of hiring 402 was that we were able to hire bartenders/servers at the last minute for our cocktail welcome reception the evening before our wedding. We didn't necessarily need bartenders to regulate alcohol (it was at our home), but they handled keeping everything stocked, replenishing ice to keep things cold, ensuring everything looked nice, picking up trash -- and most importantly ensured my house wasn't trashed for when we got back home after the big wedding weekend. This took a huge burden off my bridal party, as well, allowing all wedding guests to truly enjoy the evening and focus on socializing.
In the weeks after our wedding, our family and friends sing high praises of Colleen. In fact, my mom still can't remember most of our bridal party's names -- but she can tell you all about Colleen. I've learned of little details here and there of how she saved the day without me having a clue it was ever an issue. Her quick problem solving and immaculate attention to detail was exactly what I needed to be at ease the day-of but also to be proud looking back on all the little details we knocked out of the park. I really enjoyed the whole wedding weekend, as if I were my own guest, because everything was handled. She ran some last minute day-of errands for us that were executed like a breeze. Her partner, Jordan, was also super helpful for the last minute things that inevitably crept up. Planning our wedding was a lot of work and borderline exhausting but the actual wedding weekend itself was absolutely perfect and without a doubt due to the master orchestration that Colleen led.
402 Events is without a doubt 5 stars business!!! We initially sat down with Steven for production/rental services, but as wedding planning continued, we also added the wish wedding package to our order. Every aspect was worth every penny!! We received so many compliments for the ceiling drapery, mini lighting, up lighting, and pipe and draping throughout our venue. Steven knew exactly what to do to create the atmosphere we were looking for and did it within the budget we provided. Lindsey and Tenia (our day of coordinators) were total rock stars and helped ease my stress leading up to and on the big day. I honestly didn’t have to worry about anything, and I could not have been more grateful to have them both a part of our day. If you’re looking for event services - 402 is truly the best there is!

Hey Kelsey! We're so happy to hear that you loved working with us and our team & that we were able to make your dream wedding come true! Thank you for sharing your experience!
We couldn’t be happy with how our wedding turned out! Hiring 402 event services was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding and we got many compliments on how beautiful the reception looked! Jordan and Colleen did a great job at keeping us stress free throughout the planning process and especially the day of the wedding, we are so thankful for them. Just when we thought we forgot something, they already had it figured out. We also liked that they communicated with us in a timely manner! The draping and globe lighting looked amazing and were also one of our favorite things from the reception!
402 did an amazing job with our wedding! We lucked out because there was a bride using 402 at the same venue the day before so we got a discount and some extra decorations for keeping up the same decor.
I highly recommend 402 Event! We selected the WISH package and was so happy with everything!
Response from the Vendor on 10/06/2020
Thank you so much Jessica! We are happy we could be there celebrating along side you!
I HIGHLY recommend hiring 402 Event Services for your event! We recently hired them for our wedding - they were so easy to work with! They were prompt with their emails and always answered our questions. I love how they took initiative to reach out to the owner at our wedding venue to arrange for set-up and tear-down. We had them do globe light on the ceiling, a lit back drop for our cake table and then lighting behind the head table. It was the perfect touch to the venue - they did such a great job and it was everything we dreamed of when imagining our wedding day!!!! We received many compliments. Don't think twice about hiring 402 Event Services for your special event!
Response from the Vendor on 02/12/2021
Hi Mary! Thank you for sharing your review. We take pride in our communication, and we're happy to hear that you thoroughly enjoyed your experience!
402 completely transformed our wedding space!! The drapery & lighting were perfection. Warm and inviting. My jaw dropped when I walked in! Can’t thank Steven and the team enough for making our vision come true. Also, Steven is extremely easy to work with and very knowledgeable about the wedding industry in general. It was really comforting knowing we could trust him and his team 100%!

Hey Taryn! We're glad to hear that we could make your wedding so memorable. Thank you for sharing your experience!
We got married in Sioux Falls, SD and were struggling to find an event services company that met our needs and could work within our budget. I was referred to 402 Event Services out of Omaha by our DJ, Pinnacle Prouctions. I was able to connect with Steven and the very next day I had a proposal and quote that included everything that we wanted...for half the cost of what any Sioux Falls vendor could do--and that was including travel & hotel!!!! Not only were they a great value, Steven, Colleen, and team went literally ABOVE AND BEYOND what my husband and I could ever have imagined. They did lighting, celing draping and chandelier effects, as well as overall event setup/teardown, coordination, and management. I would hire them again in a heartbeat. Anyone in Sioux Falls, SD getting married seriously needs to check 402 Event Services out. 10/10 would recommend. Amazing job. Thank you for making our wedding reception the best night & dance party of our lives.
Response from the Vendor on 02/12/2021
Hi Maddy! We thoroughly enjoyed every moment of your wedding in Sioux Falls. Thank you for trusting us with such a special day and sharing your experience!
We used 402 Event services for our day of Coordinator. I was lucky enough to be paired with Paige who is a literal saint. She relieved so much stress and managed so many things for me the week of the wedding. She was one of the main reasons our day went absolutely perfect. I honestly don't know what I would've done without her. I would 10000% recommend using 402 event services for your big day. They were super easy to work with and upfront about everything. And if you can, request Paige for your day of coordinating services :)

Hi Brooke! We're so happy to hear that you loved working with us. Thank you for sharing your experience!
We used 402 Event Services for the dream package,Dj, and lighting. We was blessed to have Colleen as our planner. Colleen went above and beyond during the planning process she was responsive and efficient. On the day of the wedding she seamlessly managed several crises that arises. She enhanced not only the wedding planning process but our wedding day experience. We received so many compliments. This team is really amazing ❤️

ble to navigate the storms together as your vision for your wedding was simply stunning! Thank you for letting our team be a part of it! - Colleen
We used 402 Event Services for our event coordinator, drapery and uplighting for our wedding. Everything turned out fantastic and Megan and Lindsey were amazing to work with. We were able to show them our centerpieces and they executed it perfectly the day of! The drapery was also an amazing add to the space and really tied into what we already at at the venue. 402 was great to work with!

Hi Taylor,
It was our honor to be able to be a part of your's and Tanner's big day! We wish you both nothing but a happily ever after together! Thank you!!
We used 402 Event Services for our day of coordinator, DJ, and lighting. They ran everything so smoothly and were so helpful during this stressful process. Colleen went above and beyond to help throughout the day and Dave kept the party going all night. I had so many people tell me it was the most fun they've ever had at a wedding. Thank you 402!!!
Response from the Vendor on 07/29/2020
Thank you so much for your kind words Rachel! We still can't get over how beautiful and stunning your "Up!" theme wedding was. So unique and special and we loved every element of it!
We always love when we get to work with 402 Event Services, whether when capturing the amazing design and production they do at venues around the Omaha area or when collaborating with their planners during a wedding day. We’ve enjoyed working with Steven, Colleen, Jordan and Xandy during wedding days. They always take good care of their couples and keep the day moving smoothly! When looking for a quality, trustworthy business to help plan your wedding, light your reception or anything else, the 402 team will deliver!

Steven and his team were awesome to work with on reception lighting!! They helped my vision come to life and provided so many great ideas. The globe lighting they installed truly elevated the venue and made it a magical night for us!! Awesome communication and very reasonable prices. We are so happy we worked with 402!
Response from the Vendor on 04/01/2020
Thank you so much Grace! We were so honored to be part of your day! We wish you a lifetime of happiness!
10/10 would highly recommend!
402 worked so hard on our venue. They played and integral part on the design, décor, and install to make it the most beautiful place we have ever seen. They COMPLETELY transformed the space with the exact style and feel we wanted. The final project blew our minds. Absolutely BREATHTAKING. We will never forget this day for the rest of our lives. 402 was a big part of our day and leading up to our day, and will forever be grateful for them.t out of the park with globe lighting for the entire venue and major installs of greenery wall with lighting and custom made frame work with lighting which was hung over our head table. We had a very specific vision of what we wanted. 402 was the most patient to work with, and when we didn't like something-they kept sourcing and working until we were 100% satisficed. There is so much that goes into a wedding, and I really underestimated all the time it can take calling and making connections with people to get things set up...402 took care of all of this. In fact, I would say this is one of the best parts of their services. Not one time during our wedding day was I stressed or worried about things/people arriving on time or getting done. 402 went above and beyond to make our day truly the best day ever. We are forever grateful for the help of 402 and making our visions come to life. They exceeded our expectations 1000%. 402 excels with communication, organization, timeliness, and costumer satisfaction. 402 had our backs the entire process, specifically when it came towards working with various vendors and getting what we wanted. Not only is 402 a great company to work with, but they are the BEST people. We really got to know both Colleen and Steven during our wedding planning process and they have become our friends. They are both sweet and respectable. The felt like family with our best interests in mind.

ce because of how different and how jaw-droppingly gorgeous it all was!! That moment when it all came together and when you guys stepped into the space for the first time was a moment that went down in the history books for us and we all will remember forever. We all wish that we could relive it all over again! Hope all is well and we cannot wait to hang out with you even more now that you're in Omaha!! We wish you both nothing but the best a happily ever after!
Thanks again- the 402 team
I recently got married at The Pella at Blackstone and 402 did our lighting in both the ceremony and reception space. We used globe lighting and draping in the reception space and a back light with Edison lights in the ceremony space. Everything was gorgeous and Steven was wonderful to work with!
Hands down the best event service around, totally unmatched in the Omaha area. If you want to have the event of your dreams, use 402 event services! Everything about their services is amazing, especially the communication! Would highly recommend using them!
We had a wonderful experience working with Autumn! She came prepared for all of our meetings and we felt like she really wanted to get to know us as a couple in order to ensure that our wedding day was exactly what we wanted. Having a day-of-coordinator at the event gave us piece of mind and allowed us to relax, knowing that Autumn was capable of handling any issues that came up. She was calm and professional and we felt like we were in good hands the entire time. We also had several guests, as well as our officiant, tell us how impressed they were with her. If we were planning another wedding (fingers crossed we never have to), we would absolutely trust Autumn to coordinate it.

Jill, thank you so much for your kind words! It was such a pleasure being a part of yours and Chris’s day! We were so honored to be part of your day, and wish you a lifetime of happiness!
We booked the Wish Planning package and had Samyra as our Day of Coordinator for our wedding, and we could not be happier! My husband and I agree that this was the best money we spent for the entire wedding. Samyra was so on top of everything, she set up and tore down our decorations, and anticipated our needs! She even ran to Jimmy Johns for us when the sandwiches we ordered did not show up. Thank you so much Samyra for all your help, we are so grateful, you made our day PERFECT!

Thank you so much for the kind words and excellent review. We were so honored to be part of your day, and wish you a lifetime of happiness!
My husband and I were just married at Arbor Day Farm in late September. There was a surprise rainstorm that blew in and we made the snap decision to hold the ceremony inside the barn instead of outdoors. 402 not only installed additional lighting with less than 24 hours notice, but made a space that I was not excited about into a beautiful, well lit space. Thank you to Steven and the 402 team for being prompt, responsive, and flexible. We cannot recommend them enough for all your lighting needs.

Zoe, thank you so much for the tremendous review! We were so glad that we could help! We wish you a lifetime of happiness! Thanks again! :)
I recently had my wedding reception and really wanted to add some hanging globe lights to the reception's patio space. 402 Event Services was quick to respond to my inquiry, gave me a very affordable price, and made the entire process so easy! I would definitely recommend them if you're looking for lighting services & more!
Response from the Vendor on 10/03/2019
Margaret,
Thanks so much for the wonderful review! We were so happy to hang globe lighting for you! We wish you a lifetime of happiness!
402 Event services was absolutely wonderful to work with, they made our wedding day perfect. Steven and Jordan were so easy to work with and full of valuable information, they helped the process of planning go so much smoother and the day of the event stress free. I highly recommend their services. Cassi and Jason
Response from the Vendor on 09/30/2019
Cassi,
It was such a pleasure working with, and getting to know you and Jason and your family! We were honored to be part of your day! Thank you so much for your kind words! We wish you a lifetime of happiness!
An EPIC event...not your typical wedding!
We hired 402 Event Services and selected their Dream Planning Package. They implemented our vision beyond our expectations. I always joked that our wedding was an event....it really was a true production. We had two entertainers with riders that 402 Event Services executed perfectly! They handled the coordinating of flights, accommodations, security, equipment, sound checks, lighting, menus, and a host of other items.
We were engaged on New Years Eve and shortly afterwards I was diagnosed with Cancer.
402 Event Services became the GOAT (greatest of all time). They were very professional yet very personable. Their list of vendors were amazing as they exercised the same level of professionalism. We received many compliments on our invitations as they set the stage for what was to come. We would say Yes/No, approve and pay which was exactly what I needed. We were contemplating postponing our wedding due to my health. However, they allowed me to be stress-free and focus on healing.
Our wedding day was Stellar!!! The rest of the staff were just as professional and nice. Many of our guest complimented on how well things flowed and that there was never a dull moment. Everything was beautiful!!!! We can’t thank you enough for everything it was the best ever...nothing short of AMAZING!!!!

Yolanda, we had so much fun working with you and Dwayne! We are so honored that we got to help you through the wedding process and are so grateful for this review. We wish you a lifetime of happiness and good health!
We highly recommend 402 Event Services! They installed ceiling drapery w/lights for our daughter's wedding ceremony, and it softened the space to give it the perfect wedding feel. Steven & Kelsen were both extremely helpful & very friendly throughout the entire process.
Kelsen & his team did a great job with install and made things effortless on our end! 402 Event Services is a great company providing excellent service.

Melissa!
We were so grateful to be part of the day! Thank you SO much for this tremendous review! It was such a pleasure working with you all!
Steven and his team did an amazing job on the backdrops and uplighting. I loved the way the head table backdrop turned out, it definitely completed the picture! The Satin material was the way to go, especially since we were looking to cover up the venue's walls and company store. The uplighting was commented on by many as the placement truly highlighted the whole space. Lastly, I appreciated how calm his team was during set up with all of the grief we got from our venue space. They listened to all concerns and made changes as necessary to make it all perfect.
Response from the Vendor on 08/27/2019
Thank you SO much for your kind words Lacy! We are happy that we could be a part of making your day so special. We wish you and Nick every happiness in your marriage!
We used Megan for our day of coordination and I could not have done it without her! They were really easy to communicate with throughout the process and she went above and beyond expectations!
Response from the Vendor on 07/30/2019
Thank you so much for the kind words Allison! Megan shared how much she enjoyed being apart of your wedding day and how wonderful your whole families were! We hope you and Kyle receive every blessing in your marriage!
402 Event Services did all the ceiling drapery, globe lighting, pipe and drape, ceiling to floor draping/lighting and chandeliers for our wedding reception which was located in a fair building (aka needed some help to pretty it up). All of the decorations were amazing. It was exactly as we had imagined up and we honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Even our guests were commenting on how nice the fair building looked. The staff was kind, professional, and efficient. They even worked with us on takedown and picked up the key from the venue itself since we were already out of town on our honeymoon. We highly recommend this company as the decorations and customer service couldn’t have been beat. Thank you so much for making our venue beautiful!
Response from the Vendor on 06/06/2019
Thank you so much Amber! It was such a joy being able to bring your vision to life. We wish you and Chol all the best in your marriage!
Could not have survived my wedding day without our Day-Of Coordinator, Jordan. She did such an incredible job making sure she understood our vision, needs, and wants and then executed it to perfection. Her patience, understanding, and willingness to go above and beyond did not go unnoticed by anyone. Thank you, Jordan & 402 Event Services!!
Response from the Vendor on 05/13/2019
It was an absolute pleasure working with you and Chase. Also, I will never forget that Single Ladies dance Chase and Drew did. So really, I should be thanking you! Enjoy married life, you are both wonderfully kind and deserve all the happiness!...
Dave and Grant did the DJ, MC, sound, and lighting for our wedding. Everyone we worked with to plan was professional and Dave and Grant brought a great energy to the evening. Everything was absolutely perfect and we received so many compliments on how fun the reception was. Thanks for helping make our wedding the best day ever!!

It was a pleasure to be able to be a part of your's and Adam, nothing but the best!
402 Event Services provided my wedding with a little extra flare with draping and they did a great job! They were in and out and did not need a lot from me on the day of my wedding which you want as a bride!
Response from the Vendor on 04/02/2019
Thank you so much Brandy! We enjoyed being a part of your's and Aaron's big day. We hope you have been enjoying your (almost) first year of marriage!
We had a wonderful experience working with 402 Event Services! We had Colleen as our Day of Coordinator for our 12-29-18 wedding. Both Stephen and Colleen were very professional, listened to all of our wants and concerns, were easy to communicate with and prompt with their responses. Having Colleen handle the logistics, flow and organization of our wedding day, alleviated any stress we had and allowed us to fully be immersed in the moment and enjoy every minute of our big day. Colleen, we cannot thank you enough! We would recommend 402 Event Services to everyone!

We absolutely loved working with 402 events. They were great to work with. The team who set up we’re prompt and professional. We had many comments on how beautiful it looked. It added class to our venue. We will tell our friends about them.

402 Event Services was an extremely easy vendor to work with. They checked in with me prior to the event and put up/tore down the backdrop on time and as planned! Would definately use their services again!
Response from the Vendor on 11/20/2018
Thank you for the kind words Elizabeth! Your wedding turned out so beautiful and it was such a pleasure to be a part of it. We wish you and Robert every happiness in your marriage!
I was hesitant at first to spend money on a day of coordinator, but I am SO happy we chose to invest in this expense after working with our coordinator and 402 Events as a whole. I chose 402 because of their affordable, reasonable, pricing and the great impression the owner of the company made at our first meeting; I felt from that meeting that 402 Events would help us meet our wedding day/month out planning needs (Wish package). Our assigned coordinator was helpful not only for me but for our families and bridal party as well as both a point of contact and as someone to do tasks throughout the day to help make it all run smoothly. There were a few coordinator-related hiccups throughout the day that could probably have been avoided but overall, nothing went wrong, and we were very appreciative of our coordinator's help from the beginning of our time working with her! I would absolutely recommend 402 Events for the Wedding Wish package! I was able to relax and enjoy the day significantly more knowing that I had the support of our coordinator!
Response from the Vendor on 11/06/2018
Thank you for the kind words Kaitlin! We very much enjoyed being a part of your's and Ethan's big day! With your beautiful and unique ceremony song choices, the hand-fasting ceremony, all of the wedding photos of your relatives, down to ever...
y other detail, we could tell that you both put your hearts into your day and we are so happy that you were able to enjoy it all. We wish you both every happiness in your marriage!
Steven was so great to work with. He was responsive and very organized. We opted to go with uplighting, lit backdrop, and DJ for our wedding. The lighting and backdrop looked gorgeous. The guys who set that up were very professional.
As for the DJ, we were a little upset that not all the "must play" songs were played, but we understand the DJ has to feel out the mood of the dance floor, and all-in-all were very happy with him. His Emcee, however, got incredibly intoxicated. He was doing a lot of yelling on the microphone, which was obnoxious. After the reception ended, my husband spent about 45 minutes trying to talk him out of driving home because he couldn't even stand straight (in the pouring rain to boot). I have been assured by Steven that the Emcee will no longer be working with 402 Events.
I would definitely recommend 402 for the lighting and backdrop!
The venue was beautifully decorated with the draping and lighting. It was exactly what I wanted.
Response from the Vendor on 10/25/2018
Thank you Gisele! It was an honor to be a part of yours and Austin's big day. We're happy we were able to add something special to the space and turn it in to something beautiful!
We loved working with Steven at 402 Events. From the very beginning, it was clear he knew what to do when I explained what I was hoping to accomplish. We were aiming to dress up a church hall, make it a bit more intimate and elegant, and that is exactly what 402 events delivered. The drapes and garden lights were beautiful, and matched the up-lighting around the rest of the room. 402 Events was also able to manage not drill any holes in the walls, as requested by the church, and ingeniously used magnets to set up the lights and drapes! It looked beautiful, and people who attended Donut Sunday, the next day, even expressed wanting the drapes to stay up longer! I give them a 5/5 star review!
Response from the Vendor on 10/17/2018
Thank you Daniella! We had such a great time working with you to decorate for your's and Brian's wedding. We loved being able to be a part of making your wedding day vision become a reality. We wish you both every happiness in your marriage...

402 Events was great to work with! They offered a variety of packages so I could choose what worked best for me and Rachel (our event coordinator) did an awesome job! I was able to relax and have fun on my wedding day knowing she would be taking care of everything!
Response from the Vendor on 09/11/2018
Thank you so much Hannah! It was an honor to be a part of your's and Logan's special day. We wish you both every happiness in your marriage!
The ceiling drapes and chandeliers brought the whole room together!! It looked amazing and we got many compliments on how gorgeous the room looked. Steve was easy to meet with and communicate with via email. He even let us change our plans twice (with ease). He is very accommodating. I think his prices are fair which is why we chose to try his company versus a few others. I did not hear any complaints from our venue about the set up and tear down and 402 Events spoke directly to my venue to schedule times (therefore I did not have to worry about it). I would recommend them to others!
Response from the Vendor on 08/20/2018
Thank you Danielle! We enjoyed being a part of your's and Tim's special day. We wish you both every happiness in your marriage!
We used the three panel lighted backdrop at The Players Club and it truly elevated the space and was such a nice addition! My mom says it is the best money we spent!! Renting and paying for the panel was extremely easy and the staff set up and tear down, making it super simple for you. Would highly recommend this company!!

Stephanie, it was such a joy being a part of your wedding day! Thank you for your kind words. We wish you and Jared every happiness in your marriage!
We had Jordan as our day of coordinator and she was amazing! We had her just decorate and tear down at the end of the night! She made everything so stress free for me and my family! 402 Event Services certainly makes sure to take care of you and make your day the best possible. Hiring Jordan was one of the smartest things we did for our wedding day!Highly recommend!

Kassie, thank you for the kind words! It was such a pleasure to be a part of your's and Brad's big day. We wish you every happiness in your marriage!
We used their production and day of services:
- Draperies and backdrop – The draperies were beautiful and really softened the room. The backdrop was awesome and made for some pretty pics.
- Day-of-coordinator – Colleen was our coordinator and she was amazing! She was always there for us with a drink if needed and, even though things were already decorated, she added some great touches. She was a great resource for etiquette and timeline questions and I was so relaxed on Saturday knowing she had everything covered. There is so much more I could say about what she did for us but I’ll end with this…if you don’t have a day-of-coordinator or don’t think you can afford one, make room in the budget for it. Because of her our friends and family were able to enjoy the wedding.

Jamie,
It was a pleasure to be able to be a part of your big day! We wish you and Jeff, nothing but the best!
We were thrilled with 402 Events! We had the Wish Wedding package and hired them to do a room flip between our ceremony and reception. Our coordinator was FABULOUS and made our day go perfectly. I would recommend 402 Events to any bride who wants to let go of stress and worry and have the perfect wedding day!

Natalie, it was a pleasure to be able to be a part of your's and Michael's big day! We wish you both nothing but the best!
Steve was so easy to work with! We had one meeting to discuss budget and ideas and then he made it happen! He contacted our venue to coordinate setup and clean up and never had to bother us about anything!
I wish I had known about them sooner into our wedding planning!

Katie, it was such a pleasure to work with you! We wish you and Bryce nothing but the best!
The 402 service team was amazing to work with, especially Steven Finkle, our contact. The staff was very knowledgeable, easy to talk about and saw the vision I wanted to create! They also worked quick when we had to last minute change the room layout because of all our guests 😂 highly recommend them if you need to make a room “brigher/fairytale like”
Response from the Vendor on 05/10/2018
Thank you so much for your kind words! It was a pleasure to be able to be a part of your big day :).
We got married last fall and we chose 402 Event Services for their high reviews, reasonable prices, and because they provided exactly what we needed, day of services. We needed someone to handle a few of the larger decoration pieces (hanging garland on the alter, banner across the space), make sure everything got done, and to help run the ceremony and reception. You can tell she does this all the time because Kelsie did all of that and more. That girl climbed an 8 ft ladder in her dress to hang a banner in the air. She also hung a large 25 ft garland by herself and did it beautifully. She helped the day to go so smoothly so that I truly didn't worry about a single thing. To top it off she is so nice and responsive. The service was worth every single penny because we were fully able to enjoy our day. Thank you!
Response from the Vendor on 04/02/2018
Thank you so much for the kind words! We take pride in always executing the highest of quality services & products for all of our clients! We with you nothing but the best!
Steven,
Thank you so much for your dedication and the hard work you put into making our wedding so perfect. Your industrial globe lighting and lit backdrops transformed our wedding venue into such a beautiful and memorable space that I will cherish for the rest of my life. You really captured our modern, romantic style and set the stage for the most special day of our lives. Your correspondence was characterized with quick replies and a friendly positive and professional attitude. Your team was timely in set up and cost effective. We feel so fortunate that we utilized 402 Event Services. Thank you for sharing your talent with us.

Paige & JJ,
Thank you for letting us transform your venue into a memorable space! Glad we could be a part of your wedding!
We did the Dream Planning Package and it was by far the best investment we made in our wedding. Steven and his team were there through the entire planning process, helping us stay on track and helping with all the issues that arose through out. The day of was absolutely amazing! Our wedding was at 3:30 and the wedding before us was still in the venue at 2!! Steven and his team handled everything and pulled off getting everything set up in the little time they had. Honestly we wouldn't have been able to pull it off with out them. The Dj and Videographer were also amazing! We had so many complements from our guest on the music and they even played some games, it was so much fun!! I HIGHLY recommend using their services to make your day beautiful and as stress free as possible.

The company was great! They provided excellent services and worked within our budget to make our vision come true!
Response from the Vendor on 10/10/2017
Glad we were able to make your vision come to life :)
We worked with 402 Event Services for lighting decorations in our ceremony and reception spaces, and could not have been happier with how everything turned out. They were super responsive and easy to work with. From our initial conversation through the wedding weekend itself, it was as smooth and simple as we could have hoped. It was an easy decision to work with 402 Event Services after our initial meeting. Steven was respectful of our budget and wishes, and planned beautiful touches for the space without wasting our time creating a design beyond our reach. The team from 402 Event Services seemed competent and capable every step of the way, and made our event space so much more special and beautiful. We would happily recommend them to anyone.
Response from the Vendor on 08/28/2017
Thank you for the kinds words! It was a pleasure working with you!
Steven and Kelsie were both fantastic to work with! They were quick with responses and had an answer for everything we wanted to know. Our backdrop looked great on our wedding day and was exactly what we asked for! Kelsie, our coordinator, was so organized and did a great job contacting our vendors and handling all of the day of stresses, so we didn't have to. Hiring 402 Events made our wedding so much more relaxing and enjoyable and we could not be more thankful!
Response from the Vendor on 08/28/2017
Thank you so much for the kind words! We appreciate it!
We hired 402 events for "day of" wedding planning/coordination. We are so happy that we did! I spent a year planning my wedding and I was so relived to have 402 events' help leading up to the big day. They served as the point of contact the day of which is critical to you and your family being able to enjoy the day. After all it flies by and you want to live in the moment as much as possible. Thanks again guys!
Steven and Kelsie were extremely helpful, kind, and charismatic. Any texts, emails or other communications that we sent them was replied to very quickly. They were always there to answer any questions that we had. Steve actually saved us thousands of dollars with one of our vendors because of his knowledge and connections. I am not sure what we would have done if we didn’t have Kelsie there on the big day! She went above and beyond anytime she could, and was invaluable to us. I had a couple of major dress snafus, and she came up with a plan to fix it and it worked wonderfully!! She was ready for anything, and never looked panicked or worried, she kept my stress at bay and made it more fun! Kelsie was also very professional to all the other vendors, and incredibly nice to everyone as well. She also anticipated our needs and thought of things I never would have. It turned out beautifully and we have no issues at all with any of the services provided. We are extremely satisfied with their business, and we are very appreciative and happy we found them! We will be hiring them again in the future if ever needed!
Response from the Vendor on 08/28/2017
Thank you for the kind words! We enjoyed working with you guys!
Steven was wonderful to work with. He really took the time to listen to my needs for my wedding even though I wanted something simple.
We were incredibly pleased with how the decor turned out! It was thoughtfully executed, and the little touches made the ambience of the room really come together. The linens looked incredible in photos. I also really appreciated your professionalism, affordability, and follow-up. They worked directly with my venue, which took a lot off of my shoulders so I did not have to worry. Thank you for making it such an effortless process!
Response from the Vendor on 07/17/2017
Thank you for the kind words! We appreciate it more than you know :)
Our day of wedding coordinator was Bre. She was AMAZING. She was there the entire time and took away every worry I had of something going wrong. She had two private meetings with us and was always organized, professional and super nice. Steve, the owner, was also easy to work with! I would recommend them to anyone who needs a coordinator.
402 Events did an amazing job on our wedding day! They provided uplighting and ceiling drapery that added a huge visual impact to our venue at a much lower cost than purchasing more decor. They even hung up an extra decoration for us that we purchased last minute. They were professional and responsive and I would absolutely recommend them.
Response from the Vendor on 06/09/2017
Thank you so much for the kind words! It was a pleasure working with you!
Steven did a great job with my wedding! Our meetings to talk about designs were great and I felt like he listened to what I wanted. The final design turned out so great! It was beautiful and exactly what I wanted our special day to look like!
Response from the Vendor on 06/09/2017
Thanks for the kind words, Jennifer! You were such a blast to work with and always had a fun time at our consultations. Wish you and Brad nothing but the best!
We hired 402 Event after our original planner being a huge disappointment. Steven and his team are super wonderful to work with! We had Kelsie as our day-of coordinator and she is AMAZING!! She met with us prior to the wedding to go over our details and provided valuable feedbacks and guidances on stuff we did not notice. She is SUPER HELPFUL on the day, she really listened to us and made sure everything was exactly how we wanted. She kept checking up on me during the day and made sure I had everything I needed! She is just so wonderful to work with, and we are so thankful to have her there on our big day.
We highly recommend Steven and his team if you are looking for a wedding planner or a coordinator, we are super happy that we ended up working with them!!!
Response from the Vendor on 06/09/2017
Thanks for the kind words, Yukina! Glad you enjoyed working with us as much as we enjoyed working with you!
We hired 402 for day-of coordination, and we commented after that it was the best decision we made and money we spent (and it was very affordable)! Bre from 402 was a LIFESAVER the day of my wedding, truly. She worked with our family friend to decorate everything even more beautifully than I could have hoped for, and she kept everything running so smoothly that I didn't have to worry about a thing. She handled everything calmly, professionally, and with a smile on her face. She was there with everything I needed before I could even ask or know I needed it - with a glass of wine for me post-ceremony; with my toss bouquet when our photographers asked me to toss my bridal bouquet in photos; there to make sure our flower girls made it down the aisle...and so much that I'm sure I didn't even know about because she's that good :) Steven from 402 was so responsive and helpful throughout the planning process and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a day-of coordinator.
We were beyond impressed with the videography services before our wedding, and our wedding day was no different. Perry and Bryant at Inner Soul Images (through 402 Services) were so welcoming and accommodating, so we felt super comfortable with them. To make things even better, they were both SO fun! Perry made our love story interview a blast, and Bryant was great to be around and helped our day go smoothly. The quality of the service we received for the rate we paid was above and beyond what we ever expected. I wouldn't have changed anything about our videography experience! Steven was also great to work with. He was awesome about communicating with us and making sure all of our questions were answered. Steven and his crew made the whole process so easy! We are so grateful for this experience with 402 Event Services!
