Treadway Events & Entertainment has a way of making corporate events come together effortlessly. 

Their vendor connections—from caterers and florists to AV techs and even Portland Event Rentals—seem to keep things running smoothly without any hiccups.

When we spoke with a few of their past clients and vendors, they mentioned how Treadway’s coordination felt seamless. One client noted how they didn’t have to worry about the details as everything from suppliers to setup was handled by the team. 

Another client appreciated how the whole event flowed, saying the coordination between vendors felt natural and smooth. It’s the kind of feedback that reflects the ease clients experience when working with Treadway.

It’s important to keep in mind, though, that their outstanding service frequently comes at a higher cost.

They provide the red carpet, lighting, stage, etc… They also set-up, and tear-down, as well as remain for the entirety of the event

“We use Treadway Events anytime we want to throw a big party! Give them an idea of the party you want to throw, and they provide the red carpet, lighting, stage, etc… They also set-up, and tear-down, as well as remain for the entirety of the event, just in case. As small business owners, we are busy enough planning and working the event ourselves, that we simply don’t have the extra time to set-up, nor the energy to teardown late in the evening, as well as manage the equipment. Treadway makes our lives easy, and are our #1 for Events and Entertainment! We’ve got 5 more events planned with Treadway this summer!”

The event run smoothly, and planning the event was much less stressful

“Treadway Events helped with the Taste of Parkrose 2018. Brandon and his crew helped the event run smoothly, and planning the event was much less stressful with them around. Event set-up, promotions, vendor coordination, etc.–Great service at a great price. We look forward to working with Brandon in the future.”

One of the reasons Whitney Werts & Company stands out among corporate event planners in Portland is their impressive range of customizable services.

From event themes to entertainment and decor, they create distinct experiences and ensure that menu options reflect the diverse preferences of attendees. This makes it easier for everyone to enjoy the event.

What caught our attention when looking at their past events was how they designed event layouts. The seating arrangements and decor are not just visually appealing—they help foster interaction among attendees, making the event more meaningful.

Feedback from previous clients seems to echo these sentiments. They mentioned how consistent the service is, with events feeling like a well-run operation that delivers value.

However, one thing we think could be improved is their availability. Clients mentioned that extending their hours would make scheduling consultations a bit easier, which we agree.

Easy-going, creative, and timely

“Whitney Rocks!

Whitney was the perfect blend of easy-going, creative, and timely! She kept us on track to get everything done, designed a beautiful creative deck to work off of for inspiration after speaking with her a few times prior, and never once got overwhelmed or pushy. We loved working with her! AND we were a Portland destination client, so we did 99% of the work via phone and email with little opportunity to meet face-to-face with her or vendors. There were no misses!”

Planned well, run great

“TL;DR version: Hire Whitney if you want your event to be planned well, run great, and if you want to enjoy working with your planner!”

If you’re looking for a reliable event planning service, Party to Go Go’s focus on using high-quality supplies for all of their events is one of the reasons they’ve become well-known in Portland.

Past clients have praised the durability and elegance of their event rentals, especially the premium tableware and decor that elevate the overall aesthetic. 

We saw this in action when we were invited to one of the events they organized. Everything from the setup to delivery was handled with care, arriving in pristine condition and right on schedule.

Their attention to detail transformed the event into a visually cohesive experience. They cater to various styles and themes while offering a wide range of rentals—from tables and chairs to tents and linens—making it easy for clients to find exactly what they need.

However, some clients have mentioned slower response times during holiday seasons. While we didn’t encounter this issue, it’s something to keep in mind.

Responsive, caring, and is passionate

“Working with Nicole has been an absolute delight. She is responsive, caring, and is passionate about seeing her clients have the pretty AND fun parties!! If you have the honor of working with Nicole you will instantly feel like you’re working with a friend!”

Adornment Events stands out for its personalized approach to event planning. They specialize in tailoring each event to reflect the client’s unique story, making sure every detail has personal meaning.

One thing we admire is that they limit the number of events they take on each year. This allows them to give full attention to each client, ensuring that every event is meticulously planned and executed to perfection. 

Their services range from budget planning and day-of coordination to full event design and vendor referrals, providing comprehensive support throughout the process.

Many appreciate how Adornment brings their vision to life with innovative ideas, often exceeding expectations.

However, due to their selective approach, availability can be limited. Some clients have also noted slower communication during busy periods. If you’re on a tight schedule, this could be a factor to consider.

Her team is equally as talented and professional

“I have been working with Carisa and her team for 5 years! She plans, designs and executes our company events every year. I would never use anyone else. Not only she is so fun to be around but I trust her to put on an amazing event every time! We always get the pleasure of working with Carisa directly but I can tell you that everyone on her team is equally as talented and professional. She cares about her brides and her corporate customers so much. You can see it in every event she does. She adds personal touches to each event while also coming up with new and creative ways to style and wow your guests.”

EJP Events is a top choice for clients who want exceptional quality while making the most of their event budget. Their team is known for creating thorough budget plans that align with a client’s vision while keeping a close eye on every expense.

One thing we appreciated was how they work closely with vendors to get the best rates and come up with cost-effective solutions. 

Clients have mentioned how transparent EJP Events is with their budgeting process, which helps avoid surprises and makes decisions easier along the way.

However, a few clients pointed out that the initial consultation can feel a bit short, leaving less room to dive deep into budget specifics right off the bat. 

Others noted that while the company is excellent at staying within budget, the planning process can feel a bit formal, which some felt took away from a more personal touch.

Always prepared and had things very thought out

“Emee was amazing through our whole event timeline. She was always prepared and had things very thought out. During our event, I had so much confidence that everything was under control. She is very poised and good at what she does.”

Friendly, efficient and gets the job done

“I worked many times with EJP Events, and her whole staff is friendly, efficient and gets the job done. Great communication before the event translates to an event that runs without stress.”
