Congratulations to Cassie and Brad on #brassie17! This wedding is extra special to me, as it involves many people who I'm lucky to know personally. It's always fun to get to do a wedding with friends. Cassie and Brad were married in the Ballroom at McMenamins Edgefield on a lovely spring April day in the Troutdale/Columbia River Gorge area, Oregon.
We're happy to share the news that two top review websites, Yelp.com and Thumbtack.com recently recognized EJP Events by putting us on their "best of" lists. Thanks to all of our brides and grooms, we love making your day special! Here are a few of the featured weddings and what they said:

Make sure to flip over to page 58 of this summer's issue of Portland Bride and Groom magazine and check out a feature on a wonderful, colorful wedding day that EJP Events helped plan last September for bride and groom, Kiran and Siddharth. Thank you to the editors of the mag for choosing to feature our work, and to the amazing team of vendors who put it all together: JOS Photographers, Shields Films, 1st Comes Love Invitations, East India Co. Catering, The Foundry at Oswego Pointe, Paradym Events, Geranium Lake Floral, DJ Prashant, and Papa Haydn Cakes.

Many of our clients are in turnkey venues where they can provide their own caterer and bar. But figuring out how much liquor, beer, and wine to order is always a challenge. Order too much and it's a bit of a waste. Order too little and you risk running out during the event, and having to send a wedding party member to the nearest 7-11.
EJP Events is pleased to unveil our own iPhone app to tackle this continuing problem. Based on an algorithm developed over our 13 years in the event planning, catering, hotel, and wedding planning businesses, BarStocker will save you time and prevent a waste of money or alcohol by helping you figure the perfect amount to order.
Customize your order based on length of party in hours, time of year, types of alcohol being served, and how much your guests like to party :-) It's available right now on the iTunes store. Please let me know what you think!
We wanted to express our gratitude to those of you out there who keep continuing to review and rate our services on the various networks. It only takes a minute, but it really helps us stay in front of the community of folks getting married, and helps the new couples to find us. Thank you, thank you, thank you! again and again and again. I can't say it enough.
If you're a past client stumbling across this post, and you haven't reviewed us yet, won't you take a moment to do so? There are lots of places you can let your feelings be known: Yelp.com, Weddingwire.com, and Citysearch.com, to name just a few.
We'd also like to thank some of these sites for putting us at the forefront due to our large number of positive reviews. Momentville.com placed us on their 2011 Hot List, and for the second year in a row, Weddingwire.com placed us in the Bride's Choice Awards.
Now, back to working on weddings so we can keep making all of you so happy!
We love hearing about cool free stuff, so when we saw this post from Portland Style Unveiled about how Portland couples could win a free engagement session from Kim + Phil Photography, we wanted to pass it on...From Portland Style Unveiled:
We told you there would be more giveaways to come! I was lucky enough to join the fabulous Kim + Phil for coffee the other day. You may remember them from the amazing DIY detail wedding we featured awhile back... Anywho... after sharing a coffee and some chat, these two hit me with an awesome idea! An engagement session giveaway! The beneficient of this giveaway? One of you lucky Portland readers!All you have to do is comment on this thread, and they'll choose a winner from among the commenters. Easy peasy.
Know of any other great giveaways going on? Email the Portland Wedding Coordinator and we'll report them as soon as we can!
We loved this little blurb in Willamette Week about the Space Room Lounge's contest to give away a free wedding:
MATCH MADE IN HEAVEN: The Space Room, the Hawthorne Boulevard Stumble Zone’s recently remodeled shrine to drunken retro-futurism, is giving away a wedding at the bar, including a licensed officiate, photography, invitations and free appetizers for up to 50 guests, to the couple who write the best 200-word essay on why they want a space-themed wedding. Even at recession wedding prices, this deal’s probably worth $5,000. The deadline to enter is Sunday, Nov. 15. Spaceroomlounge.com/wedding-contest

We checked out the website, and if you win, you'd have to use the prize and get married by March 2010. For the right Portland couple, this might be perfect! Are you thinking of entering? Tell us!
Remember our post from last year lamenting the closure of Polaroid's instant film factory? We thought that was the end of those cute little guest books, at least in the traditional format. Well, it's so exciting to hear that a group called The Imposssible Project (love that name!) has announced:
So go to their website, and see if there's any way you can help them! I know a lot of you are creative types, and it looks like a daunting task. We wish them luck.
If you can't wait for 2010, then Adesso still has the original Polaroid film in stock. And right now they have a special buy-two-get-one-free deal!
I know lots of Portlanders like to hit Dosha for the manis, pedis, waxing and such, especially around bridal time. Here 's a great tip: If you attend one of their holiday parties in December, you receive a complimentary VIP card for 10% off services pretty much all year round.
This year it also looks like they're offering 20% off gift certificates if you bring in a Toys for Tots donation. Wonderful!
