Morgan with RSVP Events did a great job making our day flow well. We were in contact the month prior to the wedding to figure out details and she was VERY detail oriented - down to the half hour. If you are hoping to make your day run smoothly without having to worry about the little things and just enjoy your day then this is what you're looking for. She brought an assistant the day of and they even helped clean up our space during/after the day so we could enjoy each moment.
Thank you, Morgan!

Adrien Harding and RSVP made our day absolutely seamless. She was super organized and on top of everything, I didn't have to think or stress about a thing on our wedding day! I would highly recommend hiring Adrien for your wedding or any other event!

Adrien and RSVP Events are incredible!! We hired Adrien for month of plus planning. When it was time to go, she was there ready to go. She is very organized and has great communication skills. She thought of things I didn't think of and made sure everything we wanted happened. She created this incredible timeline for the day and communicated with our other vendors to make sure everything was set.
I seriously didn't have to worry about ANYTHING on our big day. She made our day even more magical than I ever could have imagined.
Adrien is someone I could trust with any detail and she made everything happen. She even went above an beyond in helping come up with a solution for my bustle that was not working.
I don't know what I would have done without Adrien! I am so happy to have found her. I 100% recommend her. Thank you so much!!!

Adrien was amazing. She was on top of everything and made the planning and execution of the wedding feel seamless. She handled any issues with an infectious calm that helped me stay relaxed. We had a large number of vendors to coordinate and she handled it all so smoothly! I could not have done it without her! Highly recommend.

My wedding took place on June 22, 2024. I had the pleasure of working with Paige from RSVP Events, and I can confidently say that she made my wedding planning experience seamless and enjoyable.
Paige was consistently professional. We had several Zoom meetings, and she was always on time and well-prepared. Her structured planning process and attention to detail were impressive. I had the Full Planning Package, which included 50 hours of planning prior to the wedding, and Paige made the most of every hour.
Her expertise was evident from the start. She took the initiative to visit the venue on her own to plan the table chart and layout, showing her dedication and thoroughness. She also had a vast network of vendors to suggest and set up meetings for me, including my food tastings.
I preferred email communication, and Paige was always responsive, typically within one business day. This level of communication was especially vital on the day of the wedding, where she was constantly available to address any needs.
Paige's organizational skills were top-notch. She helped me finalize the timeline and coordinated with the vendors to schedule their arrivals, allowing me to focus on my work without worrying about the details. Her taste was impeccable, and her suggestions were always spot-on. She even managed to secure the last transportation bus available and ensured it would fit our tight venue driveway.
On the day of the wedding, Paige was full of energy and excitement. She attended the rehearsal and ensured the processional went exactly as planned. Thanks to her, I was able to enjoy my wedding day without any stress, knowing she was handling everything behind the scenes.
Overall, my experience with Paige and RSVP Events was outstanding. I would not change a thing and will definitely consult with them for my next big event. I highly recommend Paige from RSVP Events. 5/5 stars!

We selected RSVP Events to help plan our Wedding Day in Aug 2024 that had 100 guests. We wanted to be more involved in the planning, so we went with their partial planning services package, and we are so glad we did! We had no idea where to even start with the daunting planning process (e.g. selecting vendors, reviewing contracts, design, schedule etc.) so having Adrien's expert advice, guidance, vendor connections, and support leading up to the perfect day made everything seem so easy and not overwhelming-and ultimately lead to a flawless, beautiful, and perfectly executed day! It was such a pleasure working with Adrien. She was very personable, caring, professional and responsive. We highly highly highly (!) recommend using RSVP Events. Thank you!

We got married in Grand Rapids, Michigan in July 2024, and we had Adrien as our main coordinator. I dreamed of doing part of the planning and decor, but I definitely wanted help staying on track, communicating with vendors, organization, and day-of help. RSVP Events were the perfect fit for me! Adrien and her team were AMAZING to work with!! I cannot imagine what this experience would have been like without her help. Having someone to bounce ideas off of, get recommendations for pricing, vendors, or decor, and put out any fires that come up is one thing - but having someone like Adrien do it is another! She is so kind, adorable, and hard-working. She knows the ins and outs of the "wedding world" and has great connections. RSVP Events is the best of the best! Truly! Adrien is available 24/7, and she was always so great with communication. I am currently in grad school in another state, and I had an intense schedule for the month of June. Adrien handled all communication and decision-making for this month so I could focus on my studies. Additionally, a few months before the wedding, we had a few instances come up that we did not know how to handle. Adrien took care of it for us without hesitation. Finally, she was absolutely incredible on the day of, and I truly would not have had the perfect day that I did without her and her team. I cannot express enough gratitude to RSVP Events for their hard work, positivity, creativity, and love as we navigated wedding planning! 11/10, HIGHLY recommend! Thank you!!

It was such a pleasure to work with RSVP Events! We were paired with Paige as our main coordinator, and Emily as her assistant for the day of our wedding. Paige was extremely helpful and knowledgeable throughout the entire planning process. She contacted us very quickly after we booked with RSVP Events and introduced herself and made sure we knew she was there if we needed anything. She made time to have an extra meeting to help ease our nerves about creating a day-of-timeline, attended the meeting with our venue manager, as well as ran a final details meeting with us. She left us feeling super confident that our day would run smoothly and she made that happen!
She decorated our venue beautifully, ran a smooth rehearsal, picked up our flowers on the morning of our wedding, and coordinated everything from timeline to photos. She even reached out to all of our vendors prior to the wedding to make sure everyone was on the same page and knew their roles!
We are super thankful for all the work she did to help us feel so at ease and supported! Without her our day would not have run as perfectly as it did with her!

Emily from RSVP planned my wedding in Charlevoix, MI. I am SO grateful for her, especially the month leading up to our day. Her demeanor is so calm, which was needed as a higher-anxiety bride. She handled every little detail and had an answer for any and every question. I am so appreciative for her and recommend RSVP and Emily specifically 10 x over.

We hired RSVP Events for a soup to nuts experience and to say Adrien delivered is an understatement. Her knowledge and professionalism made planning a breeze. She enabled us to plan a full wedding with all the pomp and circumstance in 6 months. I never had to worry about anything because I knew Adrien was on it. We literally had the best day ever, and it’s thanks to having such a wonderful wedding planner support us along the way. Best money you’ll spend!

We did the month of coordination package, and Emily exceeded our expectations. The contact that I had with both her and Adrien before our day was incredibly quick and detailed. Emily was always moving and took care of everything on our wedding day. We were able to enjoy the day because of her and we have already recommended RSVP events to several couples who were at our wedding!

We hired Adrien to be our wedding planner for our wedding and couldn't recommend her more! Our wedding was held at a location and venue where you have to organize and bring in everything yourself, and we were so thankful to have Adriens direction and expertise with organizing it all. Adrien and her team bring all of the qualities in an event planner that you look for: great communication, leadership, proactiveness, patient, friendliness, resourceful, able to quickly react when needed, and much more. We also quickly realized how overwhelming it can be to try to research and talk to dozens of vendors, so it was a huge relief getting her support and direction on this. Not to mention, all of the vendors we hired that she had recommended, did a fantastic job. All in all, we were extremely thankful for her leadership and would recommend her to anyone.

We had an absolutely wonderful with RSVP Events! We worked with Paige who is an absolute superstar. We were planning our wedding in just 6 months and Paige did an incredible job of finding us top of the line vendors even in that short period of time. She helped us massively deal with some problems that came up with our venue and went over the top to make sure that these things were handled before our big day. I highly recommend both RSVP Events and Paige if you are looking for a real professional to help you take on such a large event!

- I can’t say enough good things about Adrien! We went with the ‘Month of Package’ as we’d already planned most of the wedding and selected vendors ourselves. Adrien created a detailed ‘day of’ itinerary and communicated with all vendors 2 weeks in advance to ensure the day went off without a hitch. She also provided insightful feedback which helped us proactively manage any hiccups. Having her handle logistics/timing was a huge weight off our shoulders. Adrien was a pleasure to work with and would highly recommend her services!

We worked with Emily as our month-of planner. She was organized, thorough, and super friendly. She made the week leading up to my wedding stress free because she handled all communication with my vendors who I had arranged. She did an amazing job directing our families and friends at the wedding and reception venue. She took all my notes about decorations and executed it perfectly. I was able to fully enjoy my wedding day because I knew she had everything handled. Absolutely would recommend.

I had RSVP events booked for month of coordination and had Paige assigned to me. I can’t say enough positive things about her! She checked in with me several months in advance to see if I needed anything (even though I had her for just month of). Paige maintained communication between all of my vendors which made my life SO much easier! I felt so comfortable with Paige that I knew everything was going run smoothly the day of my wedding. All I had to worry about was enjoying spending time with my new husband, family, and friends! I can honestly say I have no idea how our day would have gone without Paige. We can’t recommend them enough!

Adrien and her team at RSVP helped us create and bring to realization our dream wedding! We had a vision for our wedding when we began planning, but it was overwhelming and hard to comprehend where to begin. Adrien was able to take our vision, break it down, and step by step bring that vision to life. She made the planning process manageable and reasonable. Her relationship with vendors and industry knowledge made finding the right florist, photographer, bakery, and rental companies easy. Throughout the process, Adrien kept us informed and up to date on what was happening and kept everything on schedule. Adrien took the stress off of us by constantly communicating with the vendors about what was needed and expected from them. During the last few weeks leading up to the wedding and the wedding day, Adrien and her team ensured everything went smoothly and was in place. On the wedding day, Adrien was on site until midnight, working with the vendors and our venue to ensure everything went off perfectly. We cannot thank Adrien and the entire team at RSVP events enough for making our wedding an unforgettable day! We strongly recommend RSVP events to anyone planning their wedding.

We worked with RSVP Events' Adrien for partial planning services and both Adrien and Morgan the day of our wedding. Adrien is highly professional, very organized, and does a fabulous job of balancing high level goals and the small details. She is communicative, collaborative, hard-working, and will do everything to make sure your event goes off without a hitch - and if there are hitches, she will take care of them without you knowing. Adrien made sure that my husband, our families, and our guests had everything we needed for our wedding. The day of the wedding, Adrien was exactly where she needed to be at the time she needed to be there: making sure we didn't get too off schedule and coordinating all our (many) vendors, but was also nearly invisible to our guests. Out of all our vendors, we were thrilled to have Adrien by our side through the wedding planning process and wholeheartedly recommend and endorse RSVP Events for any of your event planning or coordination needs. They are absolutely worth it.

Adrien and her team were everything that we could've hoped for, and some. We used her for month of coordination and it made the planning process a breeze. Her communication leading up to the wedding was amazing, she answered every question I had extremely quickly. When my wedding day came, she continued to exceed my expectations with her set up and coordination of decor and vendors. If anything went wrong throughout the day, I was blissfully unaware. She allowed me to truly get lost in our wedding and enjoy every second of it. I can't recommend Adrien enough!

We worked with Morgan for our month-of-coordination for our May 2023 wedding, and we fully believe that our wedding would not have been nearly as magical without the meticulous planning and support we received from RSVP Events! Morgan created a beautiful timeline for us and managed all of the details, from decor to vendor communication, and so many things that we wouldn’t even have known to plan for! She was an incredible resource in bringing our vision to life, and while we weren’t sure at first if we would need to hire extra help for planning/coordinating, I ABSOLUTELY recommend her. I would have been incredibly overwhelmed had I not had her support and expertise on my side. She and her team deserve all the credit for making our day a success, and I highly recommend their service if you are even slightly nervous about the management of your big day! In my experience, they will put you entirely at ease so your energy can go in enjoying every moment!!

Working with RSVP Events for the month and day of the wedding was one of the best decisions we made. Adrien made sure we were in good shape on our end and that we weren't forgetting anything. She also communicated with all of our vendors about the timeline and logistics for the day, which saved us so much time and energy. It was a great comfort to know that everyone was on the same page. On our wedding day we felt in such good hands, knowing that any issues that may arise would be handled. Adrien kept us on schedule so we didn't have to worry about anything besides being present and enjoying ourselves. She and Wendy also helped with little things we wouldn't have thought to ask for, like making sure we had appetizers and drinks ready for us at our table. On top of all of this, they were so sweet and seemed genuinely happy to be helpful to us on our special day. We are so happy we worked with RSVP Events and highly recommend them to anyone who is considering hiring a wedding coordinator. Thank you so much for making our wedding day run so smoothly, Adrien and Wendy! We had such a wonderful day and you helped make it happen.

Oh gosh where I do I begin?? Adrien is so so so awesome! She went above and beyond for our special day and I ALWAYS felt supported and cared for. Getting married can be stressful, and she was there to deal with every vendor and make sure the night went smoothly! I honestly wouldn’t describe the night as just smooth, it was perfect. ❤️ if you’re shopping for any kind of event planner, you absolutely need to contact RSVP events and connect with Adrien! You won’t regret it and in the end, you’ll be wondering how she made all of the intense work and planning seem so effortless! She really is an incredible human being and I’m so fortunate enough to have gotten to work with her on arguably the most important night of my life. 🥰 thank you Adrien!!

I am so grateful. Unimaginably thankful that Adrien provided us partial planning services. My wedding was a dream, and the happiest day of my life made possible with little stress because of her. People were asking me why I wasn't panicking about the little things, and it was because I knew Adrien was handling it. The day of the wedding, our limo broke down and we had to drive our own cars. Adrien handled it, solved the problem, and we were able to get to where we needed on time. We are so thankful for her.

My son and his fiancee live on the other side of the planet, so I planned their Michigan wedding with Adrien's help. Adrien was very professional and easy to work with. She thought of every detail, and the wedding day flowed beautifully. Best of all, I was able to relax and enjoy the day because I knew Adrien was there to take care of everything. Hiring RSVP Events was the smartest wedding decision I made, and I would do it again in a heartbeat!

Adrien, through her company RSVP Events, was an essential part of my daughter’s wedding planning, rehearsal day and wedding day. She helped with everything from vendor suggestions, ideas and suggestions, keeping us on track for timing in decision making, scheduling timing and travel plans for ‘day of’ transportation to/from ceremony and reception, placing of all decor, contacting vendors, gathering items/decor after the reception, AND remaining calm and pleasant through out the weeks/months of preparation! We are blessed by her, her assistant, and the beautiful wedding day she helped us give to our daughter and her husband!

We loved working with Adrien at RSVP Events! My daughter and her fiancé decided to get married in Grand Rapids even though they live out of state. As mother of the bride, I knew I would need help with planning. Thank goodness we reached out to Adrien! She is very good at her job. She helped us to find the best vendors, design invitations, stay on track with all of the pre-planning, and much more. On the wedding weekend, she managed everything from setting the décor, to coordinating with vendors, to cleaning the space after everyone left. When we needed help with anything, from Band-Aids to bustling a wedding dress, she was there. Throughout the entire process, Adrien was organized, calm, and responsive to all of our questions. She managed to be professional but also truly fun to work with. We highly recommend and cannot thank her enough!

I couldn't have been more disappointed in my experience with Adrien. I knew I wasn't going to get warm and fuzzies with her, but never expected it to be just a business transaction for her. I needed support planning our 3rd wedding (thanks COVID) and got very little from her. Our "day of" package included support at 6 weeks out - yet she waited until then to contact us (for a call the following week, shorting us a week), and also tried to reschedule because she wasn't prepared. She did not schedule any followup calls, only those I reached out for. I don't know how you help someone with their wedding without being in regular contact. Additionally, despite our package included her taking over comms with vendors, she delayed outreach until 2 weeks before the wedding, requiring me to continue to field their questions. Other issues:
- Our "day of" package included on-site support the day - which should cover pretty much anything needed (within reason, obviously). Yet, when we needed help with linen tear down (which simply meant taking off tables and stuffing into bags), we had to pay a $100 fee. WHAT? After the wedding, I found out family members handled - but never received a refund.
- We had to find a new linen vendor at the last minute. Adrien stepped in to help, but eventually had the nerve to send an (incredibly rude) email that included - "if I'm being frank, I feel we have exhausted the linen subject... we too are getting frustrated...I am sorry for being blunt but this needs to be put to bed." A wedding planner is a luxury, we paid too much to be treated this way.
- She had a PPT with mocked up decor and a to do list (that she prepared), so nothing would be missed - yet, still made mistakes. I had to move photos (that were in a specific order for a specific reason) after the ceremony and ask our photographer to take new pics. She didn't put custom drink coasters out. Didn't move ceremony flowers into the reception space where asked to (VERY pricey floral arrangements were hardly visible). She just clustered votives together on the bar corner.
- She never asked for vendor contracts, so she never knew what they were being held to (I sent them, but no idea if she reviewed bc she never responded). As a result, our DJ didn't put up the photo booth backdrop - so many didn't know we had a photo booth/didn't use it.
- We had issues with bus company the week of the wedding and she refused to help, stating she only handles existing agreements/plans.
- She allowed DJ to seat people for reception while we were still doing photos - forcing us to rush and not leaving time for touchups (after photos in the rain) or bustle my dress. My hair is a wreck in all reception photos as result.
- Was informed by many that they asked her to do something on several occasions and she didn't do it. For example - when our bus broke down and we were going to be late, she was asked (more than once) to make announcement - but continued to greet guests (not her job). Thankfully my uncle handled.
I could go on... but bottom line is, she just didn't seem to care. She was paid in advance for her services and I don't feel we got what we paid for our off her. We had an extremely challenging wedding day - but something that a wedding planner should have easily been able to manage/smooth over - but that didn't happen. Go with All Buttoned Up - I had a wonderful experience with them before we switched wedding dates and they were no longer available.

Ashley, I'm very sorry to read this. I wish these areas were addressed at the time and not...
months later on here. Had I known, I would have been more than willing to address those issues. Here is some clarification that hopefully helps.
I'm not sure where the 6-weeks came into play. Per our contract you signed, it states we reach out 4 to 5 weeks prior with our Month of Coordination package. We likely did reach out 6 weeks prior to schedule a meeting with you 4 to 5 weeks before your wedding.
With you feeling I was not prepared for our first call...that call is when we begin preparing with you so I'm not sure where the confusion was. Our first call was 2 hours long where you spoke mostly how unhappy you were with the vendors you were having challenges with. We rescheduled due to the fact it was getting late in the evening, not because I was unprepared.
Yes, if the linens do not come from us we do charge for setting up and tear down of them - similar to how your caterers also charged you to place them down earlier in the day. We did tear down linens that evening and yes, a couple of your thoughtful family members offered to help but please take note, we did not ask for their assistance and in fact told them they did not need to help and they insisted.
We wouldn't have recommended this due to timing but you cancelled your linen order a month prior to your wedding. We did try finding linens that would fit your budget, with no wrinkles (per your request). We could not find low priced linens that worked for you. Exhausting our resources and many emails later, no decision made, we did get a little frustrated, running out of options with the wedding two wks away. Also, your package does include confirming details with vendors but does not include searching for new vendors - we did this as a nice gesture.
I was not aware that we placed photos on your memory table in the wrong order. Our apologies. We did place the drink coasters out after dinner due to the fact that we were unable to locate them. This rarely happens with us not finding decor items to be placed out. Our apologies. You weren't available during set up to ask their whereabouts.
We did move your ceremony flower arrangements to each side of the head table per your request. They were very visible on each end of the table and looked beautiful.
We felt the candle cluster at the bar looked lovely. You mention that we could use our best judgment with setting up the bar area with floral and candles. We apologize that we did not space them out the way you would have preferred.
We didn't ask for your vendor contracts because you had already sent them to us. Yes, we did review them and if we had questions we addressed them directly with the vendors. So not hearing from us with any issues on the contracts is a good thing!
The DJ did have the photo booth backdrop up, we watched him set this up that afternoon. I am sorry if you felt not many used the photo booth. We, as well as the DJ, did recommend that it would be more utilized in another area of the venue but you disagreed.
We also did assist with the bus issues. I remember being on the phone with them and have multiple emails from them as well as to yourself, trying to work out a solution days prior to your wedding. I am more than happy to forward you these emails.
I can't specifically recall guests asking me to do items for them and simply not doing so. I also do not recall anyone asking us to make an announcement that your bus broke down and you were running late - during that time one of us was greeting guests, as we always like to do, and I was finding another solution to getting you to the venue on a new bus, with the transportation company.
We are genuinely sorry you were unhappy. Hopefully hearing our response helps ease your mind a bit. Please feel free to call us if you'd like to discuss this further.
All the best to you and Jeffery

We hired Adrien for month/day of coordination. I can’t say enough good things about our experience and working with her! She was so responsive to our emails and questions and went above and beyond to make sure our wedding day was perfect! From doing a mini ceremony rehearsal the day of with our wedding party to making sure all our decor was set up properly to coordinating with all our vendors, she did it all. There are so many little things/questions that come up the day of the wedding and Adrien took care of everything for us! She relieved so much stress and allowed us to focus on celebrating and enjoying our day! I will recommend her to everyone I know, our day wouldn’t have been the same without her!

Adrien was the best wedding planner a bride could ask her for her wedding. Her services were top notch and she was always responsive, caring and had great attention to detail.
Our wedding day was the best day of our lives and RSVP events helped make that possible.
Everyone has told me it is one of the best weddings they've been to and how beautiful the decor was.
I thought everything went perfectly and I couldn’t recommend Adrien or this company strongly enough.

Wow. Adrien was *fantastic* and we can't recommend her highly enough. She had the entire day fully under control, and my wife and I were able to just relax and enjoy the show. In addition to the amazing planning, Adrien responded immediately to any unplanned minor hiccups both quickly and effectievly. She delivered us the wedding of our dreams...It was so reat, we'd like to do it all over again ;)
Thanks, Adrien!

Wow, Adrien really came through for us! We pivoted to a backyard wedding event due to Covid, and we kind of threw together a bunch of different local vendors, changed the ceremony location, and a bunch of last minute issues arose. It was so wonderful to know that Adrien and her assistant were there, smiling, handling it all so that Tim and I could just enjoy the time with our family and friends. We appreciated her go with the flow attitude and attention to making everything go off without a hitch. She is organized, fun, kind and easy to work with. Thanks Adrien for helping us have our dream wedding!!! Could not have done it without you. Xoxo, emma and tim

Weddings are full of decisions. And decision fatigue is real! Let our family’s experience hosting a wedding during the recent pandemic help you make a great decision. If anyone asks us, “Do I need a wedding planner?” We would say, “Of course! As long as you hire Adrien of RSVP Events!” Yes, this requires budgeting for her expertise. However, our decision to hire Adrien meant we had the support we needed to enjoy one another throughout the planning process, and especially on the wedding day. Adrien is a listener, well-networked in the area, organized, assertive when she needs to be as your advocate, and kind. She wants all participants in a wedding to focus on what is good and right and cast off what can rob a person’s joy. Hire her. And enjoy the experience!

When our son and his fiancée first started planning their wedding, we told them step #1 was to hire Adrien and RSVP. She helped with our daughter's wedding in 2018, and we don't want to do a wedding without her. Adrien knows how to work through all of the details of the day, set a beautiful table, recommend excellent vendors and confirm all of the specifics with them, corral all the people and keep them on schedule, work with a wide variety of personalities, navigate tricky situations, read the crowd and keep the event running smoothly, AND--most importantly--be absolutely lovely and professional through it all. She has a cheerful "can do, no problem" attitude about everything and is the consummate professional who goes above and beyond in every way. Adrien is an absolute joy to work with and will be the best money you spend in planning your special day.

Adrien did such a wonderful job as the month and day of wedding coordinator for our intimate wedding! She ensured everything ran smoothly, was super organized and took a lot off of our plates. She really helped make our day so special. I highly recommend Adrien for your wedding!!!

Adrien and Chantel from RSVP Events were absolutely fantastic. They were super helpful thorugh everything! This included when I had to make changes to plans due to COVID. They were so good at calming me down and making sure everything from the planning process to the actual day of went well mainly behind the scenes. They even came out on the dance floor and danced with me when I asked them to. They truly went above and beyond to make my wedding day perfect. If I ever have another large event to plan in the area again I will definitely be reaching out to them to help me to plan it.

We used Adrien throughout the whole process. She was very helpful with talking to vendors and coordinating things for us. She is very knowledgeable of wedding vendors. She helped our special day to run smoothly and it was a beautiful day. I couldn't have asked for anything better!

Adrien was absolutely worth every dime! We chose to do the partial package and felt that the amount of time spent with us was the perfect amount. The rehearsal dinner and day of coordination are essential in our eyes and we cannot imagine our day without their help. We had to reschedule our wedding due to COVID and were grateful that we had Adrien by our side during this stressful time. She knows the local vendors and was able to communicate with them for us during the planning process. We would absolutely recommend RSVP to others during the wedding planning process.

Adrien and Joanna helped everything run smoothly for our wedding weekend! There was a lot of set-up still required as of that morning, and I was able to not worry about any of it. By the time I was ready and the ceremony started everything looked perfect! We had some difficult vendors and Adrien was imperative in dealing with them!

We hired Adrien for 2- 4 hour blocks to help with some planning of my daughters wedding. We ended up using her to order accent linens and table numbers . We planned much of the paper products and designing around the table numbers ( they were gold octagon glass shaped ) . When we got to the reception there were no table numbers and in place of them our venue had to put paper numbers with black writing on them. I was aghast . It completely ruined the look of the table which we had spent months designing to get it to what we thought was perfect. the venue and myself tried to call Adrien but could not reach her. The following Monday when I reached her she apologized and said she would reimburse me for the numbers ($88) but didn't feel anything else was warranted because they had upgraded the linens at the last minute. While the upgrade was nice it by no means changed the fact that in all my daughters pictures and videos we have paper numbers that completely take away the vision we had planned. I really felt that i should be reimbursed for some of the time that i paid for . I also was very surprised that I was unable to reach her on the wedding day at 5pm. I wish I could upload a picture of what we were suppose to have and what we had to improvise with because it does leave am impact that words can't.

Hello,
We are again, very sorry for this circumstance that took place at your daughter's ...
wedding in September with us forgetting to provide the table numbers.
Like you had mentioned, when we did hear about this we took full responsibility and refunded you immediately. You did ask for an additional refund but we felt giving you $400 worth of upgraded linens would make up for this. We would like to note, these were linens you wanted very much for the wedding but were sadly unavailable. We went out of our way to see about getting these and the day prior to the wedding we found them! We thought it would be a nice surprise to not only provide them at the wedding but give them to you complimentary! No cost to you. We typically do not do this but felt it would be a nice surprise and with all the conversations we had about you wanting these linens we thought you would be thrilled. Unfortunately, the table numbers have overshadowed this $400 gesture as well as 10 hours of design consulting with you and your daughter. We felt we offered a great value and additional savings to the design of her wedding and also had such a great relationship with you over the months planning, we are a bit surprised to see no mention of these areas in your review.
We did eventually feel the dust was settled but received another email from you 5 months later telling us that if we did not refund you $500 you would place a poor review online. We did not feel a $500 refund for $88 worth of table numbers balanced out. Also, the time you did paid for with our consulting services was $750 total. As we mentioned in our reply, it’s unfortunate about the table numbers and we are very sorry about this and of course, you had the right to place a review if you felt that was best.
We did reach out to Cascade Hills Country Club, we were surprised to read the table numbers had black writing on them and sounded less than presentable. The contact there did remember the wedding and mentioned they placed out the same table numbers they use for other weddings and that the staff was sure to remove all of them once guests were seated. We know this does not make up for anything but are glad they were removed and not displayed all evening.
We are very sorry for our forgetfulness with the table numbers, this was a first for us. We hope Allie was happy with her wedding overall and did not have our table numbers ruin her special day in any way.

Thanks Adrien for all of your help in making our wedding such a special day! We certainly couldn't have done it without you!
We really appreciated that you took time to understand what was important to us and our experience, then dig in to help us make our vision come true. At every step of the way you helped us research, contact vendors, make suggestions, inspire us with new ideas, keep us organized & stay on top of critical decisions in our timeline, and do the "heavy lifting" so we didn't have to.
Your help on game-day was so much more important than we thought it would be... between ironing out logistics with the venue, making sure the caterers and vendors were hitting their marks, keeping an eye out for awkward family drama, and being the bug-in-our-ears so we always knew what was going on, it was all so helpful in ensuring we had a magical day. Thank you again for all of your hard work and professionalism!

Hiring Adrien and RSVP was the best decision for our wedding. It was small with only 50 guest, but it was in our home. Adrien helped find a caterer, helped plan the spaces, she talked us through rental contracts and managed so much for us. She was invaluable the day of the wedding. I didn't have to worry about a thing.....she just took care of things and I was able to relax and have a wonderful day. I hope this review convinces brides to hire RSVP and Adrien.....you will not regret the decision and your day will be perfection too!

Hiring Adrien was the BEST decision we ever made during the wedding planning process! My husband and I are both from out of town, so we knew we needed someone to help us find great vendors in Grand Rapids, and Adrien did just that! During the week leading up to our big day, Adrien was so thorough and handled any surprises with ease, making me as a bride feel like everything was under control. We were really able to enjoy our wedding day knowing that Adrien was there to help! We will always HIGHLY recommend Adrien and RSVP Events for any wedding planning needs - they were able to make our wedding dreams come true and we’re so grateful for them!!

Chantell at RSVP is truly a rock star! Hiring them for our wedding was the BEST decision we could've made, cannot recommend them enough! We had a huge bridal party, we were at a very busy venue and hotel (3 weddings all on the same weekend) and Chantell made everything work with ease. From rehearsal run through, to wedding set up and tear down, she had everything handled. The RSVP team is more than worth it!

We hired Adrien with RSVP Events over a year before our wedding. My husband and I were planning our wedding from out of state, Adrien was a blessing! She helped from day one and all the way through the wedding. Our wedding day would not have gone so smoothly and beautifully without her dedication, creative touch and personality. She made our wedding dreams come alive and made our guests feel welcome. Adrien is your person, if you are trying to plan a wedding or another event. She provides you with a A-list group of vendors and take on challenges with grace and re-assurance. My husband and I not only found a wedding planner but a friend that we could count on! You will be 100% satisfied if you chose RSVP Events! We can't thank Adrien enough!

Our experience with Chantell and Jordan was a DREAM. We did the month of coordination package as our wedding was in Michigan and we live in Boston. Chantell happily embraces her "Type A+" personality and that is EXACTLY what you want in a wedding coordinator. She was truly a god-send and allowed me to enjoy my wedding and not worry about a single thing. I HIGHLY recommend RSVP Events and in particular Chantell. She is the kindest and most helpful person I have met.

Without a doubt the best investment we made for our wedding. We skipped on a videographer to use Adrien, and it was worth every penny and then some. Not only was she unbelievably helpful leading up to the wedding, but I truly don’t know how we would have done it if she wasn’t there the day of. She set up our venue, kept everyone on time, coordinated our vendors, and tore everything down at the end of the night. Every time you had a question during the day, she was already walking towards you with an answer. I can’t recommend her enough, and truly believe she is a miracle worker!!

Hiring Adrien and her amazing staff was the best choice we could have made for our 10/13/18 wedding.
She is so sweet, professional, and organized and was able to make our wedding day run flawlessly.
Though we only booked her for day-of-coordination, she was willing to meet 5 months out when my mom came in from out of state.
She also worked well-into the night after our rehearsal to think of every possible way to keep our wedding ceremony outside instead of inside (due to temperatures, our string quartet couldn't play if it was less than 65 degrees out, which it was).
She went back and forth with the musicians and Grand Rapids Art Museum staff going through every alternative, until we ran out of options.
She took so many of the last-minute stressors off my plate, kept the bridal party and vendors on time, and set up our space more beautifully than I could have imagined.
You'd be doing yourself a disservice not hiring Adrien and RSVP Events.

Hiring Adrien and RSVP Events was the best decision we made in planning our daughter's wedding. My daughter and I are both detail-oriented people, and we had a fair amount of planning finished when we met Adrien, so we weren't sure if we really "needed" a wedding planner. I'm so glad we did! Adrien had excellent suggestions along the way on a few of the vendors that we didn't know much about, and her ideas when we worked with the florist resulted in THE MOST beautiful decor--beyond what we could've imagined. Best of all was that the day of the wedding I could just be "in the moment" and totally enjoy every aspect of that beautiful day, not worrying about a thing. Adrien and her team ensured that everything ran flawlessly--it really was a perfect day. On top of all that, Adrien is just a lovely person to meet with and work with; she is a good listener, efficient, responsive, creative, dependable, and cheerful. We loved working with her!

Adrien was absolutely amazing!! She was with me every step of the way throughout the planning process and the entire wedding weekend. An absolute dream to work with and I will recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding planner. She was in contact with all of our wedding vendors and made sure everything was setup according to plan and according to my vision. She was very detail oriented which really was important to me when looking for a planner. Everything went better than I could have ever dreamed of and it was because of Adrien and her team!! THE BEST IN GRAND RAPIDS!!!

We used Adrien/RSVP Events to plan our wedding and I gained more than just a planner; my family gained a friend and a go-to person/company to handle ANY future event in our life. Adrien and her team are outstanding! It was the best money I have ever spent!!! From her connection to vendors, expert opinions, coming up with great ideas, the emotional support, helping me make decisions, going the extra mile to meet me randomly and discuss silly details I could not decide on like the type of tag and thread to use on our favor, and especially for speaking up and taking care of things that I could not deal with due to the stress...I would not have survived without her and RSVP Events! You will not regret hiring her for your wedding or ANY event!

My husband and I hired Adrien to do "Day Of" coordination for our August wedding at Camp Blodgett. I cannot say enough good things about Adrien. About a month before the wedding, she met with me to work out details and begin drafting a timeline; a week ahead of time she emailed me a schedule complete with vendor information, arrival times, and instructions for the family and wedding party. On the day of, she hung all the decorations, arranged all the tables, kept everyone on schedule and worked with the vendors. At the end of the night, she took down all the decorations (cost a bit more for those who are interested in this service) and loaded everything into our vehicles. It was such a relief for us to just enjoy the day and not worry about the mechanics. I say without exaggeration: hiring Adrien was the very best decision I made for my wedding day.
