Testimonials from our clients

Lauren & Alan

Wedding

"Any event is difficult to plan. A wedding is arguably the mother of all events. There are a million decisions to make, endless and easily overlooked details, countless moving parts that all need to follow a strict timeline, and then even with everything obsessively crafted into a plan, the execution requires a composed maestro to pull off seamlessly. Our maestro was Stephanie and she was perfection. Stephanie was a ninja genius, a ninjenius. In other words, she and her exceptional team were everywhere, yet invisible. One member of the team would scout the next 2 steps, while Stephanie would anticipate the next 4 steps while expertly handling the immediate event. There was seamless communication among the Evoke team as they worked in the shadows to facilitate every nuance of the day. One of the veteran bridesmaids of 15 weddings commented that it was the most seamless wedding they had been to. This was all due to Stephanie and Evoke’s expert direction. As a bride, I was free to be perfectly present in the moment, and engaged with all of our loved ones."

Elizabeth and David

Wedding

"The level of complexity that my wedding required was…(sigh.) Jeannette thought of everything — Even went to lengths to custom-cut colored scarves for the team to wear so people would know which bus to get on. And, I was able to totally relax during my wedding weekend with complete confidence that everything was working seamlessly behind the scenes."

Olivia

Bat Mitzvah

"Working with the Evoke team is an unparalleled success! They are able to create magic by allowing you to be a guest at your own party. Their detail-oriented approach to event planning and client partnership make sure that you are delighted with the end result!"

Kate and David

Wedding

"Hiring the ladies of Evoke is 100% the best decision we made in the wedding planning process. Bringing them on from the very beginning, made our planning stress-free, empowering & exciting. I would recommend working with Kaitlyn & the Evoke team without hesitation."

Bethanie and Nick

Wedding

"We are thrilled with our decision to work with Jodi and the Evoke team. Our wedding weekend was absolutely perfect! We felt completely taken care of and we didn't have to worry about a thing.

From major decisions, like venue and catering, to subtle details such as the labels on our welcome bags, Jodi and her team were there to help every step of the way. We truly could not have turned our wedding vision into a reality without them."

Nancy

Bar & Bat Mitzvah

"I have planned four big events with Evoke, and I have been thrilled with each experience. Jeannette and her team are incredibly creative and have made each one unique. They listen to me as a client and personalize each detail. Rather than feel overwhelmed by the process and choices, Evoke made it fun and allowed me to feel like I could have as much or as little involvement as I wanted. They are so professional and organized, every detail was anticipated. Best of all, I was able to be a guest at my own party and truly enjoy the evening!"

Company Gala

Corporate

"When there was an issue, you and your team immediately resolved it while maintaining a calm demeanor and professional attitude. Your experience and connection made our event top notch!"

Alex and Geoff

Wedding

"The Evoke team is hands down the best there is! They helped me refine the vision I had for my wedding and exceeded my expectations - from design to budget management and all the fun moments in between (like picking out my rehearsal dress and second wedding day look).

They felt like a second family during such an exciting time in our lives. It truly takes takes a village to create such a magical night and I can’t thank the entire Evoke team enough for their patience, hard work and attention detail. A special thank you to Stephanie who made the entire wedding planning process SO. MUCH. FUN. "

Ava

Bat Mitzvah

"You were a calming influence. Everything was done in advance so I didn’t have any panic attacks about the things I may have missed. You kept everything organized for me and anticipated my needs before I knew what they were."

Michelle and Jason

Wedding

“You offered suggestions on what was important; what we could do without, allayed all my worries, listened without judging, and most importantly made the entire process fun.”

Jordyn

Bat Mitzvah

"You planned 3 different events for our family and made each one different, special and meaningful. You are so warm and friendly that the process always felt so easy."
