Creative Solutions Special Events

es due to COVID, Creative Solutions was responsive, accommodative, and professional to work with throughout the process. They took our ideas and clearly laid out not only what we wanted, but recommended changes and ideas, many of which we incorporated and helped bring our vision to life. Th only slight knock on them was that the process for rain contingencies was a little bit confusing at times. But overall, the wedding was set-up perfectly, and we never once had to think twice about set-up, break-down, or anything in between, as Creative Solutions handled everything. I would highly recommend them for any and all events you're planning, for an easy, thoughtful, and beautiful experience.

credible. Honestly I just handed her a box of stuff and she turned the place into my dream wedding that I didn’t know I wanted. She was so warm and kind throughout the changing wedding season of 2020!

hey did not show) our planner ask where were the buffet tables something CS failed to mention. Left us scrambling to come up with Tables and linens. The linens they provided were the wrong colors which they failed to change. We paid for a tent with heaters since we were having a January event. They did not work properly and that left guests to eat in the cold and rushing to their cars to get coats while Speeches and toasts were going on. This was truly a windfall for CS as they had the set up pin place for fa vendor show the week before our Pwedding so we paid for theirs I show event. There were several other little issues. It is no fun breaking down tables and linens( we brought about 10 of our own ) after the event on Sunday night.

ay before! We had my wedding on my parents farm so we started from scratch & they had more than enough inventory and variety to create the wedding of my dreams! I cannot thank them enough!

day. Will definitely call on them again for our next events.

and set-up. If you can think it, they can probably make it happen. This was much appreciated, as we had to meet at the venue several times and change plans due to weather and guest concerns. Everything went according to our design plan and looked great!

cerned when they were the only approved vendor for the venue, but my concerns were without merit. They really know the venue. Let's face it - rentals are a major part of the overall wedding expense and there is always sticker shock. Shannon Thomas at Creative Solutions really knows how to guide you through the process and found solutions to all kinds of issues related to weather, budget, last minute changes, etc. She was flexible and understanding. Additionally, it is really important to have someone with expertise in the specific venue and Creative Solutions knows the Dairy Barn inside and out and knows how to make your vision happen!

were not good. At first everything was good. She met with us and showed us options for colors and fabrics but when it came time to send us a quote it was all wrong. I thought we fixed it but on the day before the wedding I noticed the tablecloths were the wrong color. I tried to call the BS number they give out and had no answer. I emailed Laura and she told me I was wrong and they had no more tablecloths in white so I was just stuck with blue. She is god awful. Avoid this company if she is your contact.

e. The best quality of this company however, is Laura. I could not of done my wedding without her. I planned my wedding from Seattle and had countless emails to her from day one. She was always so attentive and put my mind at ease from across the country. In addition from coordinating the set up and look of the event, I hired her as a day planner to make things run smoothly. And of course!!!! It did. She not only set up my venue, but managed my guests, timed the ceremony and took care of all my vendors. She thought of things that I had forgotten, things that I would like and always put my day first. The rentals and product were great and made my day look and feel the way we wanted it, but the energy and professionalism that Laura brought was the best part of Creative Solutions. Thank you Laura - Mr. & Mrs. K in Seattle!

dded to the space! I liked the brown folding chairs because they looked a little fancier than white metal folding chairs. I would highly recommend Creative Solutions!

ld highly recommend them.

hrough the venue the day before the wedding we were so thankful that Creative Solutions did everything just as we had described and even better than we expected. The decor was gorgeous and they paid attention to all of our personal touches to make sure our day was OURS! Our guests still swoon over the tent poles with glistening lights, gorgeous table settings, vintage dresses, doors used at the ceremony and everything was PERFECT! I cannot recommend their services more!

no issues.

to emails quickly, sent me photos when I asked for them, and generally seemed to know the space and the venue management well enough that i trusted them. However, when I walked in for my rehearsal, everything was set up incorrectly. They had the space set up for a buffet (and we were having seated dinner), they placed the tables in the strangest arrangement (I have no idea what they were going for, but it certainly wasn't what we discussed), and most upsettingly, we had paid an arm and a leg for them to drape the ceiling in lights, and we were given four sad strings of lights that looked like forgotten Christmas decorations. To say the least, I was not pleased. My planner called them that night and had them come in the morning to fix the setup, the tables, and the lights. I have to say I think this is more a testament to her than them, but I am glad they fixed it. The wedding turned out beautifully - The lights looked great and the quality of the rentals was really nice. I just wish they hadn't tried to give me a heart attack at the rehearsal :-/

s of sunshine, it clouds up and is forecast for 90% showers and thunderstorms on the wedding day. Luckily Creative Solutions was ready to go and had no problem creating a beautiful space for my ceremony inside with minimal stress in the shuffle. Not only that, but the tables for the reception were just as lovely as I had planned. Multiple meetings went smoothly, and both owners of the company, as well as their receptionist were easy to work with and more than accomodating. Booking early is important, because there is a reason why creative solutions is in high demand!

g to go above and beyond to make your day just what you want. I HIGHLY recommend them and will most definitely call them in the future for any party needs. Thanks Brad and Alison!

be back within minutes of receiving my message and was very helpful throughout. I think she sent me samples of almost every linen they offer because I couldn't make up my mind! Not sure how their prices compare to other companies, since we had to use them I didn't shop around. I didn't think any of the prices were unreasonable.

e vendor at my venue (Daniel Stowe Botanical Garden), but I'd recommend them to any bride getting married in the Charlotte area regardless of venue.

much more stressful. If it had not been for our day of coordinator, from The Silk Veil, or our caterer, from One Catering, our day would have been a disaster. Creative solutions did not listen to what we wanted, they also did not have most of what we needed, like linens or chairs. They had to get them from another rental company so we had to pay the other rental companys price plus their upcharge. They carry almost none of their own supplies and have to get most of it from somewhere else. They set a lot of things up wrong. They morning of the wedding they had to move all the ceremony chairs because they had them turned the wrong way. They set the tables up wrong, they did not give us all the supplies we had ordered for our bar set up even though they were on the invoice. All they want is your money, with EVERY SINLGE email they remind out to pay the 50% owed even though it is not due yet. They do not care about our vision for the wedding and are not concerned about the costumer. They do their job(halfway), get in and get out. The caterer and coordinator save they wedding by resetting up the day of the wedding, since Creative Solutions did not do their job at all.

itive. Very easy to work with and many helpful hints. On the day of my wedding they were on time and had everything set up beautifully. I definitely recommend them!

erything. The rentals were great! Everything was ontime and exactly what I had ordered. The day turned out perfect.

ints of fabric. My wedding was gorgeous and got many compliments.

er, I worked personally along side Allison Brown, who was our wedding planner & she assured me everything was going to be beautiful. They exceeded our expectations! We had Allison and Shannon there on the day of, and everything ran smoothy because of them! You won't go wrong hiring them!

Solutions. As an event professional, I can always count on what I need to arrive as promised and always on time (or even early!). Their entire staff wears a smile dna goes the extra mile to ensure each set-up meets the customer's expectations!

r. We were concerned when one of our set up team discovered dirty chairs. Luckily, our florist was willing to clean them for us and save embarrassment on our part. The Creative Solutions staff had done their set up and left before these were discovered. The end result was a nice arrangement.

es to special event planning.
