More than a caterer!
We worked with EvntWrks for our October 2023 wedding and they were fantastic! They provided catering, day-of coordination, rentals (reception tables/chairs/etc. plus dance floor, lights, sound system, and ceremony arch), and decoration set-up and clean-up. Victoria, Danny, and Liz were our main contacts and each of them was extremely helpful, great to work with, and focused on making our wedding turn out just like we envisioned it. They also made sure things went smoothly and we actually got to enjoy the day!
One reason we selected EvntWrks was because they were a one-stop-shop for almost everything we needed for our wedding, and we are extremely glad we chose them. Working with just one vendor for everything described above greatly simplified our planning process, and Victoria also did a fantastic job coordinating with the other vendors like our shuttle company and the ceremony and reception venue staff.
Food: We had a buffet-style 130 person reception at a venue with no kitchen for EvntWrks to use, and everything came out great, just like at our tasting. Our guests gave great feedback about the food, including guests with dietary restrictions, whether they were able to select from the buffet or had one of the special meals EvntWrks prepared for certain diets. There was plenty of everything and they moved folks through the buffet efficiently so that everyone had their food in a reasonable amount of time. They also made sure my husband and I actually got to eat, and we enjoyed the food enough to clean our plates!
Coordination: We hired Victoria through EvntWrks as our day-of coordinator and are so glad we did. Our ceremony and reception were in two different locations and both of them had short (~1 hour) setup windows available because they were venues that were open to the public prior to normal closing time. Victoria did a fantastic job both directly and through the rest of the EvntWrks team to make sure everything was ready at both locations so our guests had a seamless experience. One other reason we hired a day-of coordinator was for any unexpected wedding-day "emergencies" and sure enough, when we got a call from a guest that the shuttle stop was blocked by a road closure and the guests couldn't find the shuttles, all we had to do was tell Victoria and she immediately handled it while we got back to spending stress-free quality time with our party preparing for the ceremony. At the reception, either nothing went wrong or it got resolved so fast we never heard about it, and Victoria and the EvntWrks team always made sure we were having a good time and they made sure to bring food, drinks, and dessert directly to us so we didn't miss out on anything while socializing with our guests!
Setup/Cleanup: We are typically very "do it yourself" and our family and friends would have been happy to set up all our decorations with us, but because of the two different venues and short setup windows (~1 hour) at each, and the fact that our reception setup window overlapped with our actual ceremony, it just wasn't possible. One of the things that drew us to EvntWrks was the fact that they were willing to set up and clean up in addition to everything else, and they exceeded our expectations on this front. We had relatively complex centerpieces (large home-grown live plants, dozens of origami cranes per table, different sized candles, and favors for every guest), and our guest book and check-in tables were also complex, multi-table affairs with special cameras and instructions. EvntWrks took care of all of it, and all we and our family had to do was enjoy! They let us drop everything off with them ahead of time so we didn't need to transport anything day-of, and their team really listened and cared as I talked through all the decorations at drop-off. They were legitimately enthusiastic about each detail, and that made me feel great! They took great care of even our most delicate decorations and they set everything up perfectly, including some last minute unexpected contributions from family (decorations from previous family weddings and even a huge painting). They even added a few of their own cute and greatly appreciated surprise touches building off our themes and style. It was wonderful to arrive at both the ceremony and reception and see everything look even better than we had imagined!
Summary: We worked with EvntWrks for the majority of our wedding day needs, and are so happy we did. Each individual aspect was executed amazingly with thought and care. We had been told by so many people that the actual wedding day can be stressful and fly by, and I even run my own large events so it is normally hard for me to turn that off and just relax. However, EvntWrks was so communicative and handled everything so smoothly that we weren't stressed at all and were able to legitimately enjoy every part of our day!
