Strange Events = Fantastic

We hired Strange Events day-of coordination and bartending/event staff for our wedding, and they were a pleasure to work throughout the entire process. Renee’s verbal and written communication was great, and she gave us crucial feedback that helped the event reach its full potential. Our day-of coordinator Wendy and the event staff were all pleasant and professional, and the wedding went off without so much as a hitch. It was the proudest day of our lives, thanks in large part to Strange Events!

Obsessed with Strange Events -- You Gotta Hire Them!!!

Without a doubt: our wedding would not have happened without Renee, Dahneshia, and Strange Events. Lifesavers, superheroes, geniuses - whatever you want to call them, they made our wedding weekend as magical as it was!! We live in Los Angeles and had this grand dream (delusion?) of a camp wedding weekend in Maine (where neither of us are from), and Strange Events made it the smoothest, easiest planning process it could've been. They were attentive, communicative, and eager to help; any question we had about a vendor or a location, Renee was quick to offer advice and guidance. She has solid relationships with vendors in the area, which made coordinating a lot of moving parts so easy because not only could she recommend companies, she could get in touch with them if we were having issues. We felt we were in safe hands the entire time and can't express how grateful we were/are because of it. So many people talk about how planning a wedding is so stressful, and we're constantly saying, "Oh really? We're having a blast! Find yourself a Strange Events!!" And their staff!!! Dahneshia, our month-of coordinator, was the absolute BEST. Lovely, funny, engaging, warm, but also incredibly organized and diligent. We felt like we were hanging out with a friend, one who wanted our weekend to be exactly what we imagined. She kept everything calm and fun, and did a great job of allowing us to be in the moment throughout the day. We also hired event staff through Strange Events and they were brilliant. They knew where to be, how to help, and any questions or concerns we had, they addressed with smiles. They made the dreaded clean up go so quickly, and helped handle any of the residual *stuff* so we didn't have to worry in our post-wedding bliss. The bartenders were just as great!! Organized and professional, but also friendly and fit right into the vibe of the night. We can't gush enough about this special group of people. If you're debating whether to get a coordinator, DO IT. If you're debating whether they should be through Strange Events, DO IT. Thank you to Renee, Dahneshia, and co for everything!!!

Renee and Strange Events will make wedding planning seamless and fun

If you need support planning or coordinating anything (especially your wedding!) look no further than Renee and her team at Strange Events. Renee was not just easy, but fun to work with and was always lightning fast to respond with support, answers, or great ideas. Her connections and recommendations saved us money. Our wedding day was stress free and everything went as planned without one issue. This may sound not real or over the top, but Renee truly thinks of everything and will handle things without asking so you can enjoy your day. I'd give her 6 stars in every category if I could!

Lastly, we used SE bartenders for our cocktail hour and reception and multiple guests commented on how great they all were.

Hire Renee or her team! You won't be disappointed!
