What Customers Say About R and D Events

Julie R.U. "It's amazing what an article in the newspaper led us to. My daughter Brandi and Casey got engaged last June and not knowing where to start I remembered the article I had just read in the paper about a new company and headed to recycling box to find it. When we met with Kaelyn and Troy it was just perfect from the start. They made us so comfortable and took all of Brandi's Pinterest posts and made them come to reality. They kept up with every little detail even when we made changes throughout the process. When we walked into the hall the day of the wedding it was just beautiful, absolutely everything she dreamed it could be!!! We will always be recommending R&D Events to anyone looking for a decorator (especially a wedding). We definitely will be using them on my other daughters wedding whenever that day comes. Thank you so much Troy and Kaelyn (and staff). You guys are the best!!!!" April 22

Brucemore: "It was important for us to find creative ways to safely produce an event this summer in light of COVID and the derecho. As a community, we make this corridor a vibrant place to live by supporting and providing opportunities for individual musicians, companies, and patrons. Shout out to R and D Events for providing the tables and chairs." August 28 - Cedar Rapids, IA

Swamp Fox Bookstore: "Thanks to R and D Events for the tent! We are excited to give out select free books and collect monetary donations for the Marion Public Library Foundation today. Thanks to the crew from R and D Events for their help with our event setup."

R - Country Financial: "HUGE THANKS to COUNTRY Financial insurance for giving me a platform to give back to the community! We supplied almost 450 meals to Cedar Rapids, Mechanicsville, Stanwood, and Clarence! I couldn't have done it w/o the help of Operation BBQ Relief for donating food, R and D Eventd for donation hot pans and chafers so I could keep the food warm, and last but not least Corteva Agriscience for reaching out and offering to take care of all the cutlery and plates!!! It should be noted that we were able to coordinate this on about a 6-8 hour notice on the food being available, I was a mess but had great community support to make it happen!!!" August 18 -

C. N. - 2 months ago "R and D Events was such a great company to work with for my wedding. At the very first meeting, Kaelyn was engaging, and very helpful working with us to come up with our vision for the wedding. The final product on the wedding day was INCREDIBLE. The tent with the lighting was gorgeous and they absolutely transformed our garage into a romantic, intimate space that was better than I could have imagined was possible. Prior to the wedding, they all did an awesome job with checking in to confirm guest counts, weather precautions, and were very quick (like within the hour) to respond to any questions I had. Kaelyn even went through the decor list the week before and called me to make sure we had chairs {which we rented from another company) for the ceremony. It is that kind of thoroughness and thoughtfulness that makes for a perfect vendor to work with on a wedding day. They called a couple days before to see if it was easier/less stressful for us if they set everything up early. When they got to our house to set up, some of the items had to be placed in different locations than originally planned, but Kaelyn made everything seamless and kept such a positive energy we couldn't help but have fun. Everything on the set up and tear down days was completely directed towards making us as stress free as possible. We worked with another decor vendor in town for our wedding, and if we have another event, I will only use R&D Events. I can't say enough good things about this company and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking into wedding decor vendors."

J. F. - recommends RandD Events. "For our daughters grad party this company was very accommodating. They set up day before, called day of event after storm blew through during party to make sure tent was still secured. Tent held up in high wind and heavy rain. I mentioned the pools of water in top of tent. They arrived shortly after, clearing-removing excess water. Came back next morning for tear down, pack and go. I very much recommend this company and will be a repeat customer."

J.W. - recommends RandD Events. "I was very impressed by the prompt and amazing service, paying attention to every little detail throughout the course of my event. I have to admit, my group was a little difficult at the beginning with demands and changes and that type of thing but RandD handled everything in stride, errorless, and with a smile. I will use them for every event I have for myself and my company from here on out"

A.D. - recommends RandD Events. "RandD Events was so amazing in helping us plan a surprise prom during the 2020 quarantine. Highly recommend for your party planning."

J. and D. - recommends RandD Events. "I just wanted to tell you that we will be using Rand D Sales for all our upcoming events. You guys were awesome! You were not the least as far as cost but the delivery, the pick up and just leaving the chair rack is huge in our eyes! Well worth it! The delivery/pick up guys were great! I wish we had known about R and D 4 graduations, 3 anniversaries and countless Thanksgiving and Christmas family gatherings. I would have used R and D for all of them! So THANK YOU so much for making it such a great experience! We'll be calling soon!"
