Nothing short of AMAZING! We worked with Steven and Colleen for majority of the wedding planning and they executed out vision beyond our expectations. I always joked that our wedding was an event....it really was a true production. We were engaged on December 31, 2018 and I was diagnosed with Cancer February 5, 2019. The best thing I did after saying “YES” was hiring 402 Event Services. They were very professional yet very personable. Working with their list of vendors was great as they exercised the same level of professionalism. We would say Yes/No, approve and pay which was exactly what I needed since I was going through treatment and had complications with my surgery. They allowed me to be stress-free and heal!  Our wedding day was EPIC! The rest of the staff were just as professional and nice. Many of our guest complimented  on how well things flowed and that there was never a dull moment. Everything was beautiful!!!! We can’t thank you enough for everything that you all did for us!!!

We used the three panel lighted backdrop at The Players Club and it truly elevated the space and was such a nice addition! My mom says it is the best money we spent!! Renting and paying for the panel was extremely easy and the staff set up and tear down, making it super simple for you. Would highly recommend this company!!

I was hesitant at first to spend money on a day of coordinator, but I am SO happy we chose to invest in this expense after working with our coordinator and 402 Events as a whole. I chose 402 because of their affordable, reasonable, pricing and the great impression the owner of the company made at our first meeting; I felt from that meeting that 402 Events would help us meet our wedding day/month out planning needs (Wish package). Our assigned coordinator was helpful not only for me but for our families and bridal party as well as both a point of contact and as someone to do tasks throughout the day to help make it all run smoothly. There were a few coordinator-related hiccups throughout the day that could probably have been avoided but overall, nothing went wrong, and we were very appreciative of our coordinator's help from the beginning of our time working with her! I would absolutely recommend 402 Events for the Wedding Wish package! I was able to relax and enjoy the day significantly more knowing that I had the support of our coordinator!

We absolutely loved working with 402 events. They were great to work with. The team who set up we’re prompt and professional. We had many comments on how beautiful it looked. It added class to our venue. We will tell our friends about them.

Steven Finkle is the best event planner and will use him again for anything we need. He planned our whole wedding and didn't miss any details. He is knowledgeable, confident and will make your event stress free. We couldn't have been happier.

We worked with 402 Event Services to provide drapery for our wedding reception and day of coordinator services and everything was absolutely PERFECT! Kelsie was our day of coordinator and let me tell you she was amazing! I made everything for our reception and was so nervous that someone else would be able to decorate and organize everything the way I had envisioned and Kelsie did everything EXACTLY how I would have if I done it myself. I was so impressed and she truly made our wedding day stress free. I cannot thank her enough for making our day so special and stress free. She turned the venue into our dream reception and for that I will forever be grateful! For anyone looking for a coordinator I highly recommend 402, specifically Kelsie! You will not be disappointed. In addition, the drapery 402 setup was beautiful and really transformed the event space. I also highly recommend!

I recently hired 402 Event Services to help with pulling off my daughter's "royal wedding" on 9/14/19!  Mr. Steven assigned us Miss Colleen Krings as our planner and my daughter and I could not have been more pleased with all her hard work and help!  I am a total Type A, Do-it-yourself, Momzilla, who has lots of experience pulling off huge functions myself so I am very picky and have extremely high expectations of others BUT since my daughter was getting married in Omaha, NE, which is 6-7 hours North of me, I decided I needed help to make her day as special as I was planning.  We had already picked our venue...The Durham Museum...and they recommended Mr. Steven and his company as planners and we are so glad they did! Mr. Steven et. al., did a lovely job draping the west room in the Durham and setting up the dance hall in the east room. Miss Colleen did everything else! She took all my calls, answered all my emails, and toted all my numerous totes and succulent arrangements around for me.  She made sure that the rental company set up all of my tables/chairs/linens, etc. to match my designs, she met and helped our florist, Rachael Sjn from the Purple Orchid (you must hire her too...see my pics if you don't believe me!)set up all our beautiful flowers, she made sure the staff was on point, serving cocktails and replenishing drinks and food as needed, she took care of our orchestra and D.J., she made sure to have a little baby jesus on all our pieces of King Cake we had flown in from NOLA, she set up our cigar bar and gift tables exquisitely, and she was an awesome Director for our wedding party and guests!  If you are not sure if you need a planner or not, make sure to call Miss Colleen or Mr. Steven and take a look at their different tiered levels of service! I didn't really need help planning the "royal wedding" because I knew exactly what I wanted BUT I was so thankful to have Colleen to be our guide and director! She really put my mind at ease and she was awesome at getting on all the vendors and making sure everyone showed up and did what I paid them to do! She also came up with and orchestrated a stunning...literally... Sparkler Send-off in a horse and carriage which just made our "royal" wedding that much better than the real Royal Weddings!  And last but not least, she stayed late and got everything packed up and loaded into cars so none of us had to! Thank you soo much Colleen!!! We are so thankful that Mr. Steven "gave" us you! The only other thing that I can think of is I ought to send you a referee whistle...for dealing with lively crowds like ours!!! You rock Miss Colleen and Mr. Steven...feel free to show any of our pictures or steal any of our ideas as long as they keep YOU in the mix! You can also give them my phone number if you need to! Jenny Srygley, Fayetteville, Arkansas...and yes, we take weddings and their venues very seriously down here in the South!

Steven and his team did an amazing job on the backdrops and uplighting. I loved the way the head table backdrop turned out, it definitely completed the picture! The Satin material was the way to go, especially since we were looking to cover up the venue's walls and company store. The uplighting was commented on by many as the placement truly highlighted the whole space. Lastly, I appreciated how calm his team was during set up with all of the grief we got from our venue space. They listened to all concerns and made changes as necessary to make it all perfect.

Steven, Kelsie, and Dave went above and beyond in helping with our wedding over the weekend. Our atmosphere and room decor was on point, and many of my guests said that my wedding reception was the best that they have ever been to. I would recommend 402 to EVERY bride!!!!

Colleen was the wedding coordinator for our wedding at Noah’s Event Avenue in Omaha, and she was amazing. I am very type A, but hated the idea of planning every detail (especially the timeline and coordinating the vendors) and Colleen did ALL of that leading up to the day and then did it flawlessly the day of. The wedding venue really didn’t do anything to assist with the day of, so we would’ve been LOST without Colleen and I would’ve way VERY stressed, but instead it was an amazing day and I didn’t stress once.

We used their production and day of services: - Draperies and backdrop – The draperies were beautiful and really softened the room. The backdrop was awesome and made for some pretty pics. - Day-of-coordinator – Colleen was our coordinator and she was amazing! She was always there for us with a drink if needed and, even though things were already decorated, she added some great touches. She was a great resource for etiquette and timeline questions and I was so relaxed on Saturday knowing she had everything covered. There is so much more I could say about what she did for us but I’ll end with this…if you don’t have a day-of-coordinator or don’t think you can afford one, make room in the budget for it. Because of her our friends and family were able to enjoy the wedding.

I hired 402 Events to assist with my day of coordination. I do not regret this decision, it was easily the best decision made for our wedding. I was assisted by Colleen who was shadowed by Nicole. Both were excellent! They put up and tore down my decorations as well as kept our event flowing perfectly. Our venue looked great. They followed my directions without issue. We were ahead of time the whole evening. They ensured all gifts, left overs, and décor was packed away at the end of the evening in their assigned cars and kept all my other vendors organized. They were really on top of everything!  On a separate note of awesomeness, my seamstress really messed up my bustle, so much so that Colleen spent almost 15-20 minutes with me in the bathroom trying to fix it. I am so grateful to her, because no one expects their coordinator to be a last-minute seamstress.  My meetings were great with her. She thought of things that didn’t even cross my mind. I am certain that our wedding would not have flowed as great as it did without her and Nicole. Thank you, ladies!

We are so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with 402 Event Services from Omaha, Nebraska. Stephen reached out to us via Facebook after our original contracted vendor went out of business. He was very easy to work with from the initial contact to the follow-up call after the event. Stephen and his team were extremely professional and provided excellent customer service. Stephen used his creative vision to deal with certain challenges the banquet facility presented. And, we were more than satisfied after the installation was complete. The ceiling drapery and lighted backdrops were absolutely breathtaking making the wedding day everything and more than we had hoped it would be. We highly recommend 402 Event Services for your wedding planning and event rental.

We booked the Wish Planning package and had Samyra as our Day of Coordinator for our wedding, and we could not be happier! My husband and I agree that this was the best money we spent for the entire wedding. Samyra was so on top of everything, she set up and tore down our decorations, and anticipated our needs! She even ran to Jimmy Johns for us when the sandwiches we ordered did not show up. Thank you so much Samyra for all your help, we are so grateful, you made our day PERFECT!

I was beyond excited about the job you and your team did. I was so impressed at how seamless you worked around us. We had so many compliments on our backdrop, draping and lighting. I wish I would have found you sooner, it would have saved me a lot of stress 🙂 I honestly cant recommend you enough to other brides, I could go on and on. The booking process was quick, you followed up prior to the event and checked back after. What more could anyone ask for.

We were beyond impressed with the videography services before our wedding, and our wedding day was no different. Perry and Bryant at Inner Soul Images (through 402 Services) were so welcoming and accommodating, so we felt super comfortable with them. To make things even better, they were both SO fun! Perry made our love story interview a blast, and Bryant was great to be around and helped our day go smoothly. The quality of the service we received for the rate we paid was above and beyond what we ever expected. I wouldn't have changed anything about our videography experience! Steven was also great to work with. He was awesome about communicating with us and making sure all of our questions were answered. Steven and his crew made the whole process so easy! We are so grateful for this experience with 402 Event Services!

We were very pleased with our decision to use 402 Event Services to handle some of our reception decor. The draping and extra lighting added such a beautiful touch to our venue! We also had a very positive experience with our day of coordinator, Xandy! She was incredible to work with! She was professional, prompt, and perfect in every aspect. We highly recommend 402 Event Services!

Working with 402 Event Services was everything that I was looking for in a wedding coordinator. Steve was very quick and professional when I asked for information and set up my contract. Kelsie was an immense help prior to and the day of my wedding. We had so many things go wrong with our venue, and I knew that I could relax and let Kelsie handle it, and it turned into a wonderful weekend for us. You won't be disappointed, they are more than worth it!

We hired 402 Event after our original planner being a huge disappointment. Steven and his team are super wonderful to work with! We had Kelsie as our day-of coordinator and she is AMAZING!! She met with us prior to the wedding to go over our details and provided valuable feedbacks and guidances on stuff we did not notice. She is SUPER HELPFUL on the day, she really listened to us and made sure everything was exactly how we wanted. She kept checking up on me during the day and made sure I had everything I needed! She is just so wonderful to work with, and we are so thankful to have her there on our big day. We highly recommend Steven and his team if you are looking for a wedding planner or a coordinator, we are super happy that we ended up working with them!!!

Can’t say enough good things about this company. I had them do the drapery for my reception. They took care of everything from working with our venue manager on directions to the building to tearing down the next day- all without bothering the bride on her busy day. And everything looked beautiful! Would recommend to anyone.

Steven and his team were AMAZING!! I was able to put everything into their hands, including any stress. From the late night set up all the way through teardown, they were awesome to work with! They brought my dream to life and transformed the Tangier Shrine Center into a Fairytale dream! I was left speechless! It was better than I could have ever imagined! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!

402 Event services was absolutely wonderful to work with, they made our wedding day perfect. Steven and Jordan were so easy to work with and full of valuable information, they helped the process of planning go so much smoother and the day of the event stress free. I highly recommend their services.

Steven was wonderful to work with. He really took the time to listen to my needs for my wedding even though I wanted something simple. We were incredibly pleased with how the decor turned out! It was thoughtfully executed, and the little touches made the ambience of the room really come together. The linens looked incredible in photos. I also really appreciated your professionalism, affordability, and follow-up. They worked directly with my venue, which took a lot off of my shoulders so I did not have to worry. Thank you for making it such an effortless process!

We did the Dream Planning Package and it was by far the best investment we made in our wedding. Steven and his team were there through the entire planning process, helping us stay on track and helping with all the issues that arose through out. The day of was absolutely amazing! Our wedding was at 3:30 and the wedding before us was still in the venue at 2!! Steven and his team handled everything and pulled off getting everything set up in the little time they had. Honestly we wouldn't have been able to pull it off with out them. The Dj and Videographer were also amazing! We had so many complements from our guest on the music and they even played some games, it was so much fun!! I HIGHLY recommend using their services to make your day beautiful and as stress free as possible.

We hired 402 for day-of coordination, and we commented after that it was the best decision we made and money we spent (and it was very affordable)! Bre from 402 was a LIFESAVER the day of my wedding, truly. She worked with our family friend to decorate everything even more beautifully than I could have hoped for, and she kept everything running so smoothly that I didn't have to worry about a thing. She handled everything calmly, professionally, and with a smile on her face. She was there with everything I needed before I could even ask or know I needed it - with a glass of wine for me post-ceremony; with my toss bouquet when our photographers asked me to toss my bridal bouquet in photos; there to make sure our flower girls made it down the aisle...and so much that I'm sure I didn't even know about because she's that good 🙂 Steven from 402 was so responsive and helpful throughout the planning process and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a day-of coordinator.

Could not have survived my wedding day without our Day-Of Coordinator, Jordan. She did such an incredible job making sure she understood our vision, needs, and wants and then executed it to perfection. Her patience, understanding, and willingness to go above and beyond did not go unnoticed by anyone. Thank you, Jordan & 402 Event Services!!

THANK YOU!!! An amazing job you and your crew did for us. We started with a humble small town community center and turned it into a beautiful elegant wedding party for our daughter. You were very patient having to work around all of the other work going on. Very kind and attentive when we met to make arrangements, and what I appreciated most was that there was no pressure to add things we did not want. The owner was very accommodating to us, and clean up was quick and even came right after the reception that night. We are spreading your name around!!!!!

We had a wonderful experience working with 402 Event Services! We had Colleen as our Day of Coordinator for our 12-29-18 wedding. Both Stephen and Colleen were very professional, listened to all of our wants and concerns, were easy to communicate with and prompt with their responses. Having Colleen handle the logistics, flow and organization of our wedding day, alleviated any stress we had and allowed us to fully be immersed in the moment and enjoy every minute of our big day. Colleen, we cannot thank you enough! We would recommend 402 Event Services to everyone!

I recently had my wedding reception and really wanted to add some hanging globe lights to the reception's patio space. 402 Event Services was quick to respond to my inquiry, gave me a very affordable price, and made the entire process so easy! I would definitely recommend them if you're looking for lighting services & more!

Steven, Thank you so much for your dedication and the hard work you put into making our wedding so perfect. Your industrial globe lighting and lit backdrops transformed our wedding venue into such a beautiful and memorable space that I will cherish for the rest of my life. You really captured our modern, romantic style and set the stage for the most special day of our lives. Your correspondence was characterized with quick replies and a friendly positive and professional attitude. Your team was timely in set up and cost effective. We feel so fortunate that we utilized 402 Event Services. Thank you for sharing your talent with us. - Paige & JJ

We had the day of coordinater and they did an amazing job. Kelsie was our coordinator and she was magnificent. The only thing I had to worry about the day of the wedding was getting myself and my girls ready and getting to the ceremony in time. Any questions people had she was able to answer and during the day of she help set everything up and tear down and helped make my day the perfect day I recommend this to anybody who's looking either for a wedding planner for the whole thing or just for the date of wedding prices aren't that bad and they're totally worth it to make sure that you as the bride and groom have peace of mind that your day is going to be taken care of and you don't have the stress or the hassle.

We used Megan for our day of coordination and I could not have done it without her! They were really easy to communicate with throughout the process and she went above and beyond expectations!

We worked with 402 Event Services for lighting decorations in our ceremony and reception spaces, and could not have been happier with how everything turned out. They were super responsive and easy to work with. From our initial conversation through the wedding weekend itself, it was as smooth and simple as we could have hoped. It was an easy decision to work with 402 Event Services after our initial meeting. Steven was respectful of our budget and wishes, and planned beautiful touches for the space without wasting our time creating a design beyond our reach. The team from 402 Event Services seemed competent and capable every step of the way, and made our event space so much more special and beautiful. We would happily recommend them to anyone.

We used 402 for their day of coordination and also for my decor. They truly went above and beyond my expectations. We met multiple times over the course of a year of planning to discuss decor options and closer to the wedding to discuss how everything was going to go. Kelsie was our coordinator and she was amazing! She has such a calming presence. On my wedding day, about 2 hours before the ceremony I realized that I had not spoken to her all day, so when I stopped by the venue to see how it was going, everything was absolutely perfect. She took all of my ideas that I had told her and turned them into my dream wedding. My entire day, from start to finish went off with ZERO problems and I owe that all to 402. Thanks Steven and Kelsie!!!!

Steven and Kelsie were extremely helpful, kind, and charismatic. Any texts, emails or other communications that we sent them was replied to very quickly. They were always there to answer any questions that we had. Steve actually saved us thousands of dollars with one of our vendors because of his knowledge and connections. I am not sure what we would have done if we didn’t have Kelsie there on the big day! She went above and beyond anytime she could, and was invaluable to us. I had a couple of major dress snafus, and she came up with a plan to fix it and it worked wonderfully!! She was ready for anything, and never looked panicked or worried, she kept my stress at bay and made it more fun! Kelsie was also very professional to all the other vendors, and incredibly nice to everyone as well. She also anticipated our needs and thought of things I never would have. It turned out beautifully and we have no issues at all with any of the services provided. We are extremely satisfied with their business, and we are very appreciative and happy we found them! We will be hiring them again in the future if ever needed!

The ceiling drapes and chandeliers brought the whole room together!! It looked amazing and we got many compliments on how gorgeous the room looked. Steve was easy to meet with and communicate with via email. He even let us change our plans twice (with ease). He is very accommodating. I think his prices are fair which is why we chose to try his company versus a few others. I did not hear any complaints from our venue about the set up and tear down and 402 Events spoke directly to my venue to schedule times (therefore I did not have to worry about it). I would recommend them to others!

402 Event Services did all the ceiling drapery, globe lighting, pipe and drape, ceiling to floor draping/lighting and chandeliers for our wedding reception which was located in a fair building (aka needed some help to pretty it up). All of the decorations were amazing. It was exactly as we had imagined up and we honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Even our guests were commenting on how nice the fair building looked. The staff was kind, professional, and efficient. They even worked with us on takedown and picked up the key from the venue itself since we were already out of town on our honeymoon. We highly recommend this company as the decorations and customer service couldn’t have been beat. Thank you so much for making our venue beautiful!

We highly recommend 402 Event Services! They installed ceiling drapery w/lights for our daughter's wedding ceremony, and it softened the space to give it the perfect wedding feel. Steven & Kelsen were both extremely helpful & very friendly throughout the entire process. Kelsen & his team did a great job with install and made things effortless on our end! 402 Event Services is a great company providing excellent service.

402 Event Services did an incredible job at listening, communicating options, implementing the agreed upon set up while remaining flexible, punctual and willing to go the extra mile. Swanson Russell would highly recommend Steven and the rest of the 402 Event Services team for their company function, wedding or private party!

We loved working with Steven at 402 Events. From the very beginning, it was clear he knew what to do when I explained what I was hoping to accomplish. We were aiming to dress up a church hall, make it a bit more intimate and elegant, and that is exactly what 402 events delivered. The drapes and garden lights were beautiful, and matched the up-lighting around the rest of the room. 402 Events was also able to manage not drill any holes in the walls, as requested by the church, and ingeniously used magnets to set up the lights and drapes! It looked beautiful, and people who attended Donut Sunday, the next day, even expressed wanting the drapes to stay up longer! I give them a 5/5 star review!

402 Event Services coordinated an event at Ralston Arena and did an amazing job! Their staff, presentation and attention to detail  is top notch. I would definitely recommend their services!!!!

I was hesitant at first to spend money on a day of coordinator, but I am SO happy we chose to invest in this expense after working with our coordinator and 402 Events as a whole. I chose 402 because of their affordable, reasonable, pricing and the great impression the owner of the company made at our first meeting; I felt from that meeting that 402 Events would help us meet our wedding day/month out planning needs (Wish package).

We got married last fall and we chose 402 Event Services for their high reviews, reasonable prices, and because they provided exactly what we needed, day of services. We needed someone to handle a few of the larger decoration pieces (hanging garland on the alter, banner across the space), make sure everything got done, and to help run the ceremony and reception. You can tell she does this all the time because Kelsie did all of that and more. That girl climbed an 8 ft ladder in her dress to hang a banner in the air. She also hung a large 25 ft garland by herself and did it beautifully. She helped the day to go so smoothly so that I truly didn't worry about a single thing. To top it off she is so nice and responsive. The service was worth every single penny because we were fully able to enjoy our day. Thank you!

My husband and I were just married at Arbor Day Farm in late September. There was a surprise rainstorm that blew in and we made the snap decision to hold the ceremony inside the barn instead of outdoors. 402 not only installed additional lighting with less than 24 hours notice, but made a space that I was not excited about into a beautiful, well lit space. Thank you to Steven and the 402 team for being prompt, responsive, and flexible. We cannot recommend them enough for all your lighting needs.

We used 402 Event Services for day of coordinating and also their design package. They went above and beyond my expectations! My wedding day was absolutely perfect! Nothing went wrong and when I showed up to the venue, Kelsie had turned it into my dream wedding! Steven was always so responsive to any of my requests or questions, I don’t think I was stressed out one time during my year long wedding planning. I put all of my trust into 402 and they delievered! They were by far the best money spent when it came to our wedding. Thanks 402!!!!!!!
