My wife and I are LA transplants and desperately needed someone one who could navigate the PDX wedding market. My wife was referred to Adornment Events by a wedding dress boutique in downtown PDX. Adornment Events’ owner, Carisa, won our trust with her warm personality, intelligence and experience. The real value of Adornment came through the wedding planning process as she advocated for our interest with various vendors, was always on our side while dealing with vendor conflicts, and was always empathetic to our needs. She was resourceful, cost conscious, and never hesitated to be proactive to our needs. On the actual day of the wedding, all of Adornment’s hard work of planning and vision building resulted in a beautiful event that ran like clockwork. All of the vendors that Adornment recommended were professional, on time, and did their job well. Adornment easily worked our photographer even though she was not referred by Adornment. Any gaps were filled by the Adornment team as they stepped up to put on finishing touches, making sure we both stayed calm, and picking up and keeping track of our loose items (cell phone, glasses) because we were both overwhelmed with the event. Yes, they pay attention to the details. But it was not only the operational details, but also the human/emotional details of taking care and being there for their clients. Adornment is in it for the long term. They are not here to make a quick buck or to process a high quantity of clients through w/ minimal effort. They service each client as if they are their only client and their efforts have resulted in Adornment’s great reputation in the PDX wedding industry community. Meeting and working with Carisa was definitely the best part of the wedding planning process ☺ Thank you for everything.

If you only read this first sentence, just know that Carisa and the team at Adornment Events are absolutely amazing and I highly recommend them for your wedding (or any other event). We had a crazy task ahead of us to transform a public park from a farmers market to an elegant and sustainable outdoor wedding for 130 guests in ONE AND A HALF HOURS. From the beginning Carisa was my ally and helped to navigate the convoluted wedding industry to help me find the best vendors that were a match for my taste and budget. It was really important to my husband and I that our event be as waste-free as possible. Yet, we also wanted an elegant but casual wedding that was fun-filled and pretty. Carisa led me to vendors that I never would have found on my own and were absolutely perfect. And I have very discerning taste (but don’t want to pay through the roof!). Carisa was always available to offer advice, listen to concerns, ease worries, and develop a beautiful wedding. I truly cannot imagine planning a wedding without Adornment Events. What was absolute insanity (that 1.5 hour setup time), was executed absolutely perfectly. Carisa and the team produced our sustainable, elegant, food truck wedding and it was amazing. The wedding was beautiful and everything went off without an issue (at least from what I could see!). We had guests telling us it was the best wedding they had ever been to, and naturally, it was absolutely perfect for my husband and I. Adornment Events excels at event planning and I would highly recommend them. I hope I get the opportunity to work with them again!

The team at Adornment Events was such a pleasure to work with! We booked Adornment Events for day-of coordination about a year before our wedding. Carisa was responsive to emails leading up to the wedding and checked in with me to make sure I was making progress on my own (since we didnt hire her for any other services besides day-of). About a month prior to the wedding, I met with Carisa and the lead coordinator for our wedding and went over every little detail for the wedding and it made me feel so sure everything would run smoothly on our wedding day. The day before the wedding, we did the rehearsal with the lead coordinator, Sonia and she was very organized and able to handle the 25+ adults/kids we had to get down the aisle. The lead coordinator and two assistants were really helpful and friendly on our wedding day! They set up everything so that no one in the bridal party or family/friends had to do the work! We truly got to enjoy the day. We had two decorative vases that somehow broke during transport, but Sonia calmly approached me to tell me and reassured me it would be ok. Sonia was able to put the flowers from the broken vase into some vases that Adornment Event had brought along just in case! Adornment Events is seriously able to handle any situation with professionalism. One of the best choices we made for our wedding was hiring Adornment Events. I highly recommend them!

Absolutely awesome experience. I had Carisa and her team for the full planning service, and they definitely went above and beyond. We started 7 months before the wedding, and everything was extremely smooth and easy. Carisa was right on target and know exactly what I want from the very first time we met. Vendors she recommended were very professional and fit our style, and that saved a lot of our research time. She arranged all our appointments with all vendors, and could make it there in person most of the time. Most vendors she recommend could give us a discount because of her, and that saved our money. On the day of, as the Bride I was busy with make-up and pictures and everything, but once I got there, everything was all set perfectly as magic. Carisa and her girls were super professional and the whole process just went flawlessly. After the wedding, everything was cleaned-up and I dont need to worry about anything. Its already been a month after our wedding and I still receive complements from our wedding guests saying that this is the best wedding they have ever attended. Having Carisa as our wedding planner is the best decision Ive made for our wedding.

Carisa and the Adornment team were crucial to our wedding day! We used Adornment for the day of package. However, this included more – meetings prior, timeline, discounts from preferred vendors, quick replies, rehearsal practice and everything to make the day of smooth. The team made sure they had all of the vendor contacts to communicate with them, this was amazing because nobody who was part of the wedding had to stress or deal with vendor communication on the day of. They set-up everything for the ceremony and reception. The team made sure to keep the timeline moving in a graceful manor. She and her team were outgoing, positive and professional, they always had smiles on their faces. I must say they were amazing at making sure everything was cleaned up and brought to our rooms the night of the wedding! We were left stress free and fully enjoying the ceremony and reception and the entire day! I am thankful to have used Carisa and her Adornment team for our wedding! If anything went wrong or had a hiccup I still to this day have NO idea, that’s the way it should be! I HIGHLY recommend Adornment to anyone looking for any type of planning/coordinating!

Adornment Events helped make our wedding weekend a success! We got married this past June at Timberline Lodge. Carisa and her team arrived Friday evening to help with the wedding rehearsal and reception and then stayed at the lodge so that they were available all day Saturday finishing with clean up in the wee hours of the morning Sunday. Despite an unexpected snow storm and frequent weather changes, they were flexible in helping to set-up our wedding ceremony outside last minute. They worked with our florist to help make our reception area absolutely beautiful with great attention to detail. Carisa and her team made the day run so smoothly and I never had to worry about a thing. I later learned about a few "glitches" that was never even apparent to me. We were so happy that we hired Adornement Events for day of coordination help and so thankful for their assistance in making our wedding day so spectacular.
