one thing I hate about black businesses is that they start off very strong,then they forget where they come from and give poor customer service. I'm one whom support my own bc I want to see self representation, and i want us to win. I am a new 2026 bride and I thought I did my research by looking at reviews and even watching social media. I fell in love with the work that Essence has done. I picked her without a question or second thought bc we vibed and she seem to understand my vision. However, even though my wedding is a ways out, I was glad she wanted to meet once a month, but some of those meetings were missed and forgotten. she even sent someone else to the venue walkthrough that i got off work early for, sending a last minute "hey love" text with a selfie of her and the person she was sending. when asked about it, she informed me that atouchofessence_events is a business and not just her.

I cannot express enough gratitude for the incredible job Essense did for my baby shower! From start to finish, she went above and beyond to ensure every detail was perfect. She took my vision and elevated it beyond anything I could have imagined.I told her I'm a simple girlie,less is more for me,and she delivered just what I asked.
The décor was stunning, every little touch was thoughtfully curated, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. She handled everything seamlessly—venue setup, and even last-minute changes with grace and professionalism. Her creativity, dedication, and passion for what she does truly shined through.
What truly touched my heart was her personal touch throughout the process. Not only did she bring my vision to life, but she also surprised us with a thoughtful gift for both me and the dad-to-be, making the day even more special. It was such a sweet and unexpected gesture that showed just how much she genuinely cares about her clients. I received so many compliments from my guests about how beautifully everything was arranged.

Read moreI recently had the pleasure of working with A Touch of Essence Events to organize a butterfly themed Welcome Party for my one and only grand girl and I can't express how impressed we were with the exceptional services that were provided. We initially was to have a baby shower in March but baby girl made a grand entrance a month early and we were able to postpone to a later date after her arrival. From start to finish Essence and her team went above and beyond to ensure that every detail of the event was executed flawlessy! They understand what our vision was for this very special day for our family and transformed it into a reality that exceeded our expectations. They were very prompt in their communication with us and were always attentive to our needs and preferences. Everything was handled with professionalism and efficiency and I wholeheartedly recommend this event planning company for any special occasion, especially if you are looking for a specific themed party that will leave a lasting impression! I am beyond grateful to have had the opportunity to work with them and will undoubtedly seek their services for...
