Adornment Events - Portland, Oregon

The B. S.

Adornment Events, owned by the amazing Carissa, is hands-down one of the best wedding planning services in the Pacific Northwest! We've been fortunate to travel all the way from Australia to the PNW to document weddings for couples who have had the absolute privilege of working with her.

Carissa is not just an incredible event planner with an eye for detail and a gift for making everything run seamlessly—she's also an absolute blast to be around. (Seriously, check out the photos of her tearing it up on the dance floor. She brings the energy!)

Working alongside her on spectacular weddings, like those at The Barn at Countryside and Skamania Lodge, has been such an honor. Carissa’s passion and dedication truly elevate every event she touches. We can’t wait to collaborate with her again and capture more of her unforgettable magic!

If I could leave a higher review for Carisa and her team at Adornment Events I absolutely would! From the first interaction with Carisa, I knew she was the person I wanted to work with and immediately trusted. Working with Carisa was nothing short of exceptional. She knew exactly what we wanted for our wedding when we didn't even know it. She put together a vision that I couldn't put together myself. Not only is Carisa amazing at her job, but she's also an incredible human being! She has the kindest heart and an exuberant personality. She has a way of making you feel at ease (which is exactly what you want for your wedding or any event). She even came to my rescue when I had gotten a lipstick stain on my beautiful white dress! All of our guests were RAVING about how BEAUTIFUL our wedding was and "THE DETAILS"! Yes, Carisa pays attention to details and executes exceptionally. All of her vendor recommendations were flawless. Thanks to Carisa and her team our wedding was an absolute fairytale. If you're thinking of hiring Carisa and her team at Adornment Events think no more, just do it. You won't regret it.

Carisa and her team were so incredible to partner with for our wedding! She worked with us for nearly 2 and 1/2 years and was a total rockstar through all of the COVID ups and downs. She helped put us at ease through those crazy years of planning - including helping us plan our wedding from across the world! The Adornment team helped to make sure that every last detail was thought through - truly they are the icing on the cake!! Carisa and her team are so fun, easy going, and organized - I would recommend for all your event planning needs!

Carisa and her team of rockstars at Adornment Events are so incredible. During our first phone call with Carisa, I could tell how much she cared about providing fantastic wedding day experiences for her couples, and how detail oriented she is. Throughout all of the planning process she was beyond helpful and was truly a joy to work with. She answered all of my (many) questions with positivity and enthusiasm as if we were the #1 thing on her mind.

When planning a wedding you have so many vendors that come together to create your special day. Carisa and her team were the glue that brought our entire vendor team together. Having her manage the communication across the vendor team and work behind the scenes to make sure everything was set up according to plan was amazing. Having worked in the event industry in the past, I knew that inevitably there would be some curveballs thrown at us during wedding week/day. Carisa handled these curveballs with grace and a "get it done" attitude.

I HIGHLY recommend Carisa and the entire team at Adornment Events. It was a joy to work with them while planning our wedding and we are so thankful for their hard work making our dream day a reality.

We all know trying to plan a wedding is quite a daunting task. I was a little overwhelmed when I started the journey, but overall so glad I was able to connect with incredible vendors. I would have hired Carisa and her team for full planning if I could. It wasn't in our budget due to life and the pandemic. But, so happy we hired them as our partial planning team. Everyone we worked with was kind, understanding, and flexible with our ideas. My husband and I had a particular theme we wanted, and they helped us create the perfect environment. So grateful to have found Adornment Events!

Without a doubt, Carisa and her team were the best thing that we invested in for our wedding! They made this special day flow so smoothly and made sure we were taken care of. Our wedding was Harry Potter themed and Carisa embraced it without a second thought. There were tons of small details in the wedding that went with the theme and the team went out of their way to make sure what we envisioned came to life. They made sure everything was cleaned up and packed away by the time we had to leave the venue so we could focus on dancing til the last minute and celebrate stress free.
Carisa has such an amazing and bubbly personality that you immediately feel comfortable with her, but she also is very dedicated in making your day perfect that you can trust that she'll get things done. I would highly recommend Adornment events to anyone who wants their event to run as smoothly as possible and have people who will go above and beyond your expectations! Thanks again to Carisa and her team!

Carisa and her team at Adornment did an amazing job putting together our wedding! It was the most perfect day and so many of our guests named it the "best wedding ever"! She brought our vision to life - modern, chic & romantic. I appreciated Carisa working with me on all my ideas, changes and many many questions throughout the planning process. When the big day finally came, my expectations were exceeded. From start to finish the entire event was seamless. Each detail was so thought out and intentional, executed by an amazing vendor team, to create the ultimate wedding experience.

I highly recommend Adornment Events! Our wedding was everything we could have dreamed of and more.
