Buyer beware...my first phone call with them they requested me to give credit card information over the phone and would charge if I did not show up. We scheduled for another time since I said I would not give credit card information to them. I do not live in town so planning time with vendor options is limited. I was able to meet with other vendors who were polite and had good customer service in all my interactions so gave our business to them. I emailed Buresh letting them know of cancellation. They responded back in an email that we should have given more time notice so they could get another bride in. They are not interested in customer service or accommodating to their customers.
We had 3 weeks to plan our wedding - my groom is in the military - we flew in from a base outside the US. It was the most amazing experience. We quickly selected a beautiful invitation, engraved toasting glasses and imprinted cocktail napkins. We also planned our ceremony & reception - it was so fun - so stress free Jayne was so caring and knowledgeable and had experience with both venues and military weddings. We were stunned when we entered our reception venue was so beautiful and at our head table our toasting glasses were rimmed in GOLD sugar and our couple napkins had a band of navy satin ribbon & gold glittery ribbon (they were so pretty we did not want to use them). We can't say enough positives about our experience at Buresh Events - do not listen to the negative nannies who go around posting bad things(sad) - they are so so wrong. Call Buresh Events - make an appointment we had such a wonderful experience - the detail, organization the CAD scale design layout(this was so cool) the sincere caring attitude & atmosphere.
Happily ever after!!!
This week was my THIRD occassion to call to ask about possible rental of one of their items. (Three separate, non-related calls, months apart) Also the THIRD time the person who answered the phone could not tell me if they carried the item I was looking for and the THIRD time I was told Jane would need to call me back. The THIRD time my message went unanswered. THREE strikes and you're out in my book!!! Do yourself a favor and don't waste your time calling them.
We had no idea direction to go in with our invitations. Once we were able to sit down with Jayne, she walked us through the entire process so painlessly. She had every option we could ever want, but she quickly picked up on our preferences and narrowed down our options so that we weren't so overwhelmed. The best part was the excellent price tag we got on our invites! Thank you so much to Jayne for all of her help!
We planned our wedding and reception with Buresh Events - it was 5 star!! Actually 10 star. Passion - creativity-sincere-honest - just what you want from a small business. Invitations, fresh floral, install, takedown follow-up, layout - I recommended them for my companies summer event - so amazing (yeah for me). We will always recommend Buresh Events. Call make an appointment
We visited a different event planner first, but felt like our ideas weren't being considered for our wedding reception. At Buresh, however, our ideas were heard and transformed into our dream wedding reception. You won't get a cookie-cutter event with Buresh. Your event will be uniquely you!
So I'm not usually one to complain about other businesses, let alone publicly, but working with Buresh rentals for our wedding invitations has been a total NIGHTMARE! I was told today by the manager that she was tired of "fussing" with me and that she doesn't have time to help me. She kept changing the wording on our invitations, forgot to put the time of the wedding (and expected me to pay for another proof!) never returned any of my calls, and never followed through anything she said she would. When I first went in to look at invites, she wouldn't place my order until I told her where we got our linens from (Spielmans) then made me tell her their prices for things because she didn't believe me when I said they were cheaper. I will NEVER be going there ever again!
Erika and Jared -
Jayne at Buresh Events did our outdoor wedding Oct 2015 and rehearsal and day of coordination "everything" was amazing; including helping our daughter on her wedding day with a flare-up do to gluten intolerance issues. The entire process for planning was wonderful - flowers were done by Buresh - they also recommended a great caterer- we don't live in Iowa. Everything was PERFECT- if you want service, knowledge, detail and customer service Buresh Events is THE Wedding Place. MOB and Happy family!!
Our family was used Buresh Events for our daughters weddings. They do amazing work with detailed pricing - on time and on budget. Very easy to work with and we have recommended them and our friends have been equally as pleased.

I have the mixed feelings about the place. First of all, the place is very nice inside. They have a large display of things they have and many examples of how you can decorate your venue place. They also have a big selection of good quality things, so probably everything you need is in one place.
However, the woman working there (I think she is the owner) is very, very pushy. After the first meeting I came out with the list of things I really didn't need and the second time I went there it took me some time to take these things off my list.
Then, make sure you read the contract. It was very specific about the time and date of when you have to pick up and give back the rented things (things you don't really talk about earlier).
and lastly, when you go to sign up the contract there just really make sure that you know the number of your guests and what you really want. It is so so easy to end up with a whole bunch of things you don't need but for which you will have to pay
I called to check prices and the staff was rude over the phone. She basically told me if I wanted to know about backdrops I should "do my homework" and get back to her. I felt like I was wasting her time. Glad I didn't waste my money on them!
I DIY-ed my backdrop and it was amazing: http://www.projectwedding.com/wedding-ideas/diy-modern-colorful- mobiles
She wouldnt let me see the prices of anything she gave me a overall price and would let me see the break out or take any pricing home with me to look at except what she wrote on the back of a business card and wanted full payment up from 6 months from the wedding.
I only rented the very necessities from Buresh because each encounter with them was very unpleasant. My maid of honor and I were not greeted when we came in for our scheduled appointment and we waited about 15 minutes before Jayne was done meeting with a walk-in client. She didn't apologize. Each time I spoke with Jayne (the owner) it was unpleasant, she was very condescending. I only ordered a few things from them - as little as possible (Dance floor, white gems and goblets).
The dance floor was delivered and set up - but they failed to pound the panels together tightly enough so one guy needed to come back the next day to pound them better. Their dance floor does not have a edging/ramp thing so people kept tripping. We had to buy rope lights for the edge which helped. When delivering the dance floor, the guys did not bring the goblets or the gems so we needed to make an extra trip to get them. When the guys came back for the dance floor, they failed to pick up the other items which were in plain view which turned into another trip for us.
I think wedding planning can be difficult and stressful enough, therefore please stay away from a vendor that will be unpleasant to work with and causes more stress. I don't recommend giving them your business/$$$.
PS. Their cloth napkins are twice as much as their competitors, Spielmans, and they will not give you a discount when ordering invitations from them.
