Unique Events

We worked with Travis and the Unique Events team for almost a year while planning our summer wedding in the Quad Cities. We have nothing but praise for their work and would not hesitate to recommend UE's services to others planning a special event.

We elected to work with Unique Events after a disappointing experience with another event planning group whose fee structure and policies were ambiguous, at best. From the outset, Travis and his team of event designers were responsive to our questions and took our interests, tastes, and goals for the wedding into consideration. UE worked within our budget to design and execute a truly outstanding event that felt personal, elegant, and seamless. A number of the vendors and countless guests have reached out to us with compliments for UE's exceptional service and design work.

My partner and I planned the wedding from out of state, and therefore assigned a lot of responsibility to UE to manage not only their own design elements (incl. ceremony & reception decor, lighting, floral, linens, and numerous rentals) but also to oversee the "day-of" operations of eight other vendors.

Throughout the planning process, Travis Newell's communication with us was prompt, clear, and courteous. He went above and beyond to ensure that the details we discussed were accounted for in revised event proposals and came prepared with questions and ideas to all of our conversations. He and the day-of coordinators even went so far as to meet with me (and one of the other vendors) at the venue three weeks before the wedding for a detailed walk through of the design and event timeline.

The event coordinators, Ashley and Hannah, also provided exceptional service on the day-of, working tirelessly from 7am through midnight to liaise with vendors, party members and guests, and to attend to issues that arose. We were deeply impressed with their attentiveness and demonstrated capacity.

Thank you so much, Unique Events! We couldn't have done it without you.

Superb! Efficient! Stress free! Organized! Unique Events assisted in making Eryn and Johnny's wedding magical! They worked seamlessly with the venue for setting up/taking down lighting as well as retrieving rented wedding essentials. Travis, the DJ! Could not ask for a more organized and personable addition to keep the night flowing! 10/10 for assisting in creating the best atmosphere! -Leanne

We worked with both the Unique side for gold chiavari chairs and Covington for floral. Pretty much the sky is the limit! The options we had for floral was unreal, the final product was exactly what was in our minds. It was breathtaking! They were always patient to entertain our ideas and untraditional designs. Thank you Unique!

I was recently at a wedding and mentioned to my wife as to how good I thought the DJ service was. Normally I think they are a little annoying in a 80's tuxedo and cumber bun introducing the family and butchering their names. All the while trying to fill the dance floor to the chicken dance,the hokey pokey, and the electric slide. This guy played great classic music that was good listening and great to dance to. As well as newer more current music that the wedding party seemed to love. Yet didn't overdue either of them. I was so impressed I struck up a conversation with as it turned out to be with the owner Travis Newell. He said the company specializes in weddings but also does school dances, parties, and kareoke. If you are looking for someone to play music for an event for you, I recomend this company. They are proffesional and listen to what theor customers have to say.

We were so happy that we chose Travis and his team to DJ our wedding last October. They were awesome and really taught us that a DJ does so much more than play music at your event. We met with Travis twice before the big day and worked out the flow of the day, how to move things along (no one wants bored guests stuck at tables), who would give speeches, etc. Oh! And what music we wanted played. All I can say with that is to TRUST them. Definitely tell them the vibe you want and some of your favorite songs, but let them "read" your crowd and respond to keep people dancing. We also added the photo booth at the last minute and I have to say it was the hit of the night! People went nuts for that thing and we ended up with a great photobook keepsake at the end of the night, plus a thumb drive of every picture. Worth every penny! Just bring lots of fun crazy props and Travis will, too. I really can't say enough good things about UE. I'd hire them again without a doubt.

We chose Unique Events to DJ our wedding and were incredibly happy with their service! Not only did they take the time to thoroughly understand our game plan and vision for our wedding, they also made suggestions on how to make the night run even more smoothly. Their confidence and organization really put us at ease. We felt like our DJ, Riley, was really running the whole show and really allowed us to relax and enjoy the night. We have been to many weddings in the past that seemed to really drag on due to lack on DJ involvement. And, on the flip side have also encountered weddings that had too much involvement, UE took the time to understand what level we wanted and executed it perfectly! We easily transitioned from dinner to dancing and the guests followed suit.
Numerous guests said they had never seen a dance floor so packed! The catering coordinator at our venue even commented that the energy was amazing and wished all weddings had that same amount of enthusiasm and overall fun feeling. We owe a lot of that to Riley and UE- they really made our night everything we dreamed of! The music selection was perfect and we received a lot of compliments! We would definitely recommend Unique Events, and Riley in particular, for your DJ needs! Thanks Riley and team for making our Big Day even more amazing!!
