    A good coordinator

    We hired Barrett as the "Day-Of" coordinator for our wedding, at the recommendation of our venue. We enjoyed working with him in the weeks leading up to the event. Barrett was very knowledgeable about the venue and was helpful and responsive throughout the process. He offered some thoughtful insights and advice about organization and decor that were very effective, and helped us to feel prepared and confident going into the event itself.

    Amazing Coordinator!

    Barrett was an amazing day of coordinator for our wedding! We had a half Indian wedding with a lot going on, and I truly cannot imagine the day having gone as smoothly as it did without Barrett there to coordinate it all. In the couple months leading up to the wedding he was incredibly helpful in putting together our our final timeline, coordinating across our vendors, meeting with us multiple times and providing his expertise and recommendations on various decisions, and making sure every last detail was covered. Thanks to him our wedding day was everything we wanted and a day we'll treasure for years to come!

    The best coordinator!

    We loved our experience with Barrett and his team as our day of coordinator and cannot recommend him enough. He was so helpful throughout the wedding planning process and gave us such great advice. He is so organized and easy to work with. Our wedding day was perfect and stress free thanks to Barrett. He executed our vision perfectly and our wedding day was a dream come true!

    Barrett is great to work with!

    We hired Bow tie Gourmet to be our day of (or month of) coordinator for our wedding. Barrett did an excellent job meeting with us multiple times before our wedding to get all the details and schedule down. He had a close relationship with our venue and their staff, so he was very knowledgeable about it and gave us great suggestions to elevate our event. He remembered all of our details perfectly and ran our wedding smoothly the whole time! We had a tight schedule and he kept us on schedule to a T! We were so happy with how everything turned out. Our wedding was relatively large too— 150, and everything went so smoothly. We highly recommend Barrett!

    Excellent Detail Oriented Day of Coordinator!

    Barrett is an incredible day of coordinator! He will work with you to make sure your day goes as smoothly as possible. He is well versed in weddings and knows all the right questions to ask in order to make your special day complete! I would fully recommend Bowtie Gourmet Events to anyone looking for event planner or day of coordinator.

    Barrett is a DREAM to Work With

    We can't say enough good things about working with Bowtie Gourmet Events. Barrett always guided us in the right direction, and saved us when we went rogue. He ensured that we were within our budget, every vendor recommendation was top-notch, and we left every meeting feeling refreshed and like we had accomplished a lot. It's very easy to let the stress of wedding planning consume your life, but Barrett kept us on track, took care of tons of things for us behind the scenes, and generally just kept us sane throughout the planning process. Barrett was always calm, organized, and thorough. Not to mention the fact that he went to bat for us on multiple occasions with some vendors, including a couple of necessary audibles DURING the wedding to make sure that nothing would detract from our day. We can't recommend Barrett/Bowtie enough.

    Barrett was simply awesome!

    We absolutely love Barrett! It was a pleasure having him as our wedding planner. Our wedding was a large 220+ size wedding, and Barrett and his assistant Diane made it stress free, easy, zero worries!

    We hired Barrett as a "day of "coordinator, and what a relief it was to hand everything over to him the month before. The stress of planning a wedding is HUGE and as a bride I can honestly say that on the wedding day I was calm and stress free, Barrett had taken care of all the hard parts.

    From the rehearsal to the big day, Barrett was eaily able to manage the large 18 person, motley crew of a wedding party and family. He made sure everyone was where the were suppose to be, and what time, all in a very easy delightful manner. everyone appreciated
    how Barrett and Diane ran thing so smoothly. The helped our wedding vision come true, and did everything to the T!

    We cannot thank Bowtie Gourmet Events enough on making our best day possible! Thank you Barrett!!!
    - Lauren & Bryan

    Amazing experience, MADE the day for me!

    I think the best part of a coordinator is that you do not have to deal with the stress or the uncomfortable conversations with all the vendors. Bowtie and Barrett MADE it happen. They got my vision, made it easy to work with, always available (even during my crazy work schedule), and solved problems I didn't even know existed. I've had a ton of friends get married recently and they seemed completely stressed the day of the wedding, and I did not have any of that. I learned later there were problems with vendors and construction, but I had NO IDEA because Bowtie took care of it all without interrupting me, or any of my guests. No one noticed at all which is the mark of a great coordinator. Barrett kept everything running smoothly, and I truly got to simply enjoy my day. I had no stress and nothing to keep track of, and even after the wedding everything was marked, returned, and coordinated wonderfully. I would not hesitate to hire for any event, large or small as I truly believe they look for what you envision and how to make your day special.

    A real pleasure to work with!

    Barrett at Bowtie Gourmet impressed us from our first conversation with him. Before we hired him, he prepared for our introductory call by looking up our wedding website, which we had not given to him beforehand. It was such a simple way to prepare, but he took the time to do it and was far more prepared than anyone else we talked to. He was super responsive and provided everything we asked for, including jumping in on a wedding-day hiccup with transportation. Not to mention, he's super friendly and knowledgeable, and he clearly has a passion and a knack for this job!

    Barrett is amazing! He made our wedding day stress free and everything just worked in the background that the wife didn't have to intervene at all! Barrett took care of all the details including taking all the gifts and decorations so we could go to an after party without worrying who is taking all of it. He has good relationships with other vendors if you ever need a recommendation, and he loved working with him. Truth be told, I (the husband) was a little hesitant to find a wedding coordinator, but heard it was a must-get vendor from my wife. My wife was right and Barrett made everything super easy! We can honestly say that nothing went wrong on our wedding day.

    Barrett was recommended to me by another bride that had a great experience with him and I really have her to thank for the amazing support I got from Barrett throughout the process of my wedding - from planning to the wedding day! I knew after watching two of my other close friends get married without a coordinator that I definitely wanted one since I wanted to enjoy my wedding day and not have to stress the minor details. Barrett help me throughout all the planning phases, went to meetings with me and my other vendors and helped me searched for vendors as well. On the day of, he took care of all the details and made sure I and my bridal party enjoyed ourselves. His team were all extremely helpful and they even made sure I got bustled! Definitely a great choice for my wedding!

    Barrett and Bowtie Gourmet is by far the best decision we made for our wedding day! My fiance and I first met Barrett at a venue open house...and while we did not end up choosing that venue, we were hooked on Barrett. We had not really considered having a day of coordinator, but realized that it would be important to have someone other than the bridal party taking care of things the day of. While I myself am a planner, Barrett made things that much easier for us...he always answered all emails promptly, was early to all appointments we had (including the walk-through at the venue, and the rehearsal hour). And on the day of...everything was set up to perfection. Any changes I wanted were made, any adjustments throughout the night were handled, and breakdown of the event was so quick and easy!! I felt very confident heading into my wedding day with Barrett there to help, and everything turned out better than I could have imagined! I would highly recommend Barrett and Bowtie Gourmet!

    Barrett did an AMAZING job planning our wedding, from the very beginning to the very end. I always considered myself to be a bride with no vision whatsoever; however, after hiring Barrett, I realized I definitely did have a vision - I just didn't know it until he created it for me!! Early on, he spent an entire day driving my now-husband and I around to different venues and was so pleasant and easy to get along with that we were immediately comfortable with him. We went on to have very enjoyable planning meetings/dinners together and he was always so professional and also so like-able.

    Barrett was extremely patient throughout the planning process and never once showed any annoyance at my sometimes back-and-forth decision-making. If I didn't have him there on my actual wedding day, I can't imagine how things might have gone. He was so great at handling some of the less-controlled guests and was calm and collected the entire day. He completely shielded me from anything that could (or did) go wrong. All of his design suggestions were amazing and he really put together such a beautiful atmosphere. I was so impressed with how much he was able to do, especially considering our budget, which was likely much lower than that of others.

    I would highly recommend Barrett to anyone and everyone. He was so great and also very affordable, especially considering the personalized service he provides. I can very honestly say that my wedding day was as perfect as I could have ever imagined and hiring Barrett played a huge role in that. We were so pleased with his service and hiring him was one of the best decisions we made throughout the entire process!!

    He was so great from start to finish! He said he was new in the business but he worked so hard and was so professional you couldn't tell, it was like he's been doing it 10 plus years! He made all my ideas come to life and was always able to work with our budget. I would recommend him to anyone.

    Barrett made our day perfect, kept us from having to worry about the details and kept us on schedule.
    Absolutely by far the best decision we made for our wedding. Barrett is knowledgeable, fun, and talented. From our first meeting to the day of, Barrett was attentive to all of the minute details of our wedding and handled all of my questions and ambiguity with class and professionalism. He took all of my thoughts, dreams and desires of what I wanted our wedding day to be and far exceeded all of our expectations.
    Day of, Barrett kept us on schedule and when we were off doing our thing he gently nudged us back to our next activity to ensure we did everything we wanted during our reception. He worked extremely well with all the other vendors to coordinate all aspects of our day. He even designed all of our centerpieces, ceremony flower arrangements, my bouquet, all of the corsages and boutonnieres. They turned out gorgeous!
    Barrett's attention to detail and willingness to research options truly is a life saver. He worked with me on options as we had a tight budget and really made sure that we had a quality ceremony and reception within our financial comfort zone.
    Thank you so very much Barrett for your wonderful talent and skill. Words cannot say how happy we are that you helped us throughout it all.

    Barrett was extremely helpful with our wedding. He helped us define the type and style of wedding we were looking for and took the time to really make sure we had what we wanted. There were many details that needed to be handled. We didn't have the time or design sense to manage it all. Barrett did an amazing job helping us coordinate everything. In many cases, he'd help simplify decisions for us by providing options he thought would work best for us. Once we picked an option, he'd take care of all the logistics.

    We had a short engagement (~6 months). There is simply no way we could have had the amazing wedding we did without Barrett's help.

    I had a very “special” birthday coming up and my husband hired Barrett from Bowtie Gourmet to handle all the arrangements. My husband works long hours and didn’t have time to dedicate to planning this event. He wanted it to be special and hiring Barrett was a fantastic idea. After the party my husband raved about the attention and service that Barrett provided. Nothing was overlooked. Arrangements were made with the venue to provide seamless service, drinks and food. All my guests were super impressed. I would not hesitate to hire him again for other events. All I had to do was show up and enjoy myself. My guests were raving over the décor and service (and isn’t that what it’s all about?)
    Impress your friends and hire Bowtie Gourmet!!

    Having Barrett as our daughter Allie’s wedding coordinator was absolutely one of the best decisions we made when planning her wedding. We have 3 daughters and Allie is our youngest. Our eldest two daughters got married 10 years ago we did not even consider hiring a wedding coordinator. Both daughters had beautiful weddings BUT I will say the experiences came with tons of stress the day of the wedding. My family convinced me that I needed to enjoy Allie’s wedding instead of “oversee the event” as I had done with our other daughters weddings. WOW, was that best decision ever made! Bowtie Gourmet Events was a special blessing the day of the wedding. It allowed us to be able to spend precious time with our families before the ceremony and know that Barrett and his assistant were setting up and making sure every detail was in place. He was intuitive and took care of everything I asked him to. He showed grace and tact in dealing with delicate issues. Barrett's passion for weddings combined with his attention to detail made him worth far more than the rate he charges. We would highly recommend Bowtie Gourmet Events to any family planning a wedding. With Barrett’s help, I was able to relax and enjoy every special minute.

    I am not sure why I cannot rate Barrett a solid 5 as he was a super star for one of the most important days of our lives - My Son's wedding. I am a meeting/incentive corportate meeting planner for the last 25 years and I turned off the planning as we had one of the most dependable person I have ever met in my journey of event planning to take over every aspect of the big day. Barrett supported my Daughter In law on every detail of her dream day. I think the one memory that stands out in my mind is when he spent a full day and evening with our Family as we made welcome bags and reviewed the last minute details just days before the wedding. He stuck sitckers on candy kisses among numerous other tasks - joining in with humor and support beyond words. He gave us a level of comfort beyond a vendor his presence was like extended Family. Barrett's pre work was flawless and he made many visits to the wedding venue at Old House Winery to assure a perfect night. I was so impressed with his planning book and the check off list that covered every last detail. Barrett even thought of things I would never of listed on my task list. The day of event with his ear piece in place he orchestrated every step of the ceremony, reception, pictures, dinner and party with such confidence and calm demeanor. He set the peacful tone to our day and evening. Success beyond words. The sparklers were lit and the buses were in position when I looked over to the man that made our event the most memeorable event to date in the history of our Family with such a grateful heart. He even stayed to clean up and packed up our belongings. Now this is service from beginning to the very end.
