"With a tiny party of less than twenty, I wanted something very modest, and he respected our vision but also added such beautiful details and elements that made our wedding ceremony and reception go beyond what we could’ve imagined. He was, in short, a miracle worker. He was given all of 7 days to work with us and the final result appeared as if we’d been planning for a whole year. From hand choosing the flowers for my bouquet and the dinner table arrangements, to providing blankets for my guests at the park, his touch and attention to detail made for a smooth and stress-free day. When we walked into our reception room we were both at a loss for words. There to greet us was Douglas and with him a beautifully decorated room filled with candles, flowers, jazz music, a specially designed pre-fix menu, and perfectly arranged place settings. Everyone who attended our wedding could not stop raving about his work and neither will we. Any event we are involved in or hear of in the future, we are sure to mention or reach out to Doug and we really hope you do the same!" -Julia
"As a fellow event planner, I came to Douglas with nothing more than a vision and a list of vendor friends I was planning to work with. Little did I know, Douglas was the link missing from my puzzle. He was able to take all of my ideas and vendors, line them up neatly, and turn them into an amazing 2 day wedding! He's a charm to work with and on your special day, he is your advocate. I was confident that Douglas knew what I wanted and would be able to smooth out any and all speed bumps. So much so - that I never knew any speed bumps existed! You can trust his vision and trust that he knows how to host a good party. With Douglas on my team, I was able to enjoy my day. I would definitely recommend his services." -Ashley
"Soon after getting engaged, a recently married friend reached out with a bit of advice: "There is one person who made my entire wedding happen. Seriously, without him, it wouldn't have happened. His name is Douglas." That was all I needed to hear, since we wanted our wedding "to happen," too. We met with Douglas and from day one the process was seamless and wonderful. He totally understood the vision we were going for ("no napkins folded into swans or fans"), was super responsive throughout the planning process, and made sure everything came together beautifully the day of the wedding. We were so grateful to have had Douglas (and shout-out to Assistant Nikki who BTW was the prettiest person at our entire wedding, so there's that) there leading up to the wedding and of course on the day of the event. Not only did our wedding "happen," it was without a doubt the best day of our lives. Thank you, Douglas, for making it all happen." -Alison
"The beauty in working with Douglas Calhoun is he's an absolute pleasure to be around and collaborate with. He gets it. He's extremely authentic and creative and knows himself around a great party! He really wants to understand your vision and bring it to life. He's willing to offer his suggestion and experience but he was never trying to steer us into his vision and direction...it was always about us and what we wanted and that was so refreshing." -Jordan
"Booked Douglas late in the game. He was thrown into that position for me at the last minute and not only did he completely rock out at it, he did it amazingly and with style. I loved every minute of that day and I know I have him to thank for most of it!" -Cate "Douglas was a wonder to work with. After absorbing all the particulars and details we were looking to achieve on our wedding day, he helped to ensure that all pieces fell into place on the day-of. Always with a smile, Douglas artfully interacted with vendors, family, and guests and helped to stitch together the numerous seams that we had carefully planned out. We greatly appreciate all the help he provided, and would recommend him to anyone who enjoys seeing their day come together as it was imagined." -Burgess
