Once Upon A Time Events

Once Upon a Time Events (and Saprena!) created PURE MAGIC. If you’re looking for an event decorator who can a vision (mine was a wild, nostalgic, Y2K-inspired prom vision) and turn it into a jaw-dropping masterpiece, look no further than Saprena at Once Upon a Time Events. From the moment I shared my idea for an early-2000s prom–themed milestone birthday, she was instantly on board—and already spinning the concept into something even better than I imagined. The décor she delivered? Absolutely unreal. The custom signage, the photo-ready prom backdrop, the rich velvety tablecloths, the perfectly placed disco balls catching the colored lighting, the layered-height centerpieces—every detail was so intentional, so cohesive, and so downright stunning. Guests kept telling me the venue had never looked so incredible, and honestly, they weren’t exaggerating. Saprena didn’t decorate the space—she transformed it. Saprena brought the expertise of a seasoned designer but the energy of a friend who’s genuinely thrilled for and supportive of your vision. She also managed the floor plan with tremendous thoughtfulness, crafting an ideal flow for cocktails, dinner, dancing, the bar, snacks—everything. It was seamless, comfortable, and gorgeous all at once. Once Upon a Time Events made my event unforgettable.

As an officiant I have a special appreciation for event planners and coordinators and by far, Greg and Saprena are truly some of the best I've ever had the pleasure to work with. Their attention to detail, dynamism and creativity was truly a thing of beauty to watch in action. Not to mention how much they obviously care deeply about the couples they work with, like Kate and Mason whose wedding we recently worked together. Bravo!

Saprena & Greg are wonderful. We selected them for their décor services and made our wedding day absolutely gorgeous. They were both such a pleasure to work with and made decorating our space so easy. I made so many changes and very frequently but they were not hazed and happy to help my husband and I create our vision. I loved the amount of variety they had in their stock. If they did not have what I pictured, Greg could make it, which is so cool! Saprena was always on top of showing me pictures and communicating anything she needed, making the decoration one of the easiest parts of our wedding. Thank you Greg and Saprena.
