Testimonials

“We hired Cocoa Belle to design and execute a prestigious VIP pre-grand opening reception and a once in a lifetime new hospital grand opening.  Vanessa worked with us to create two events that went off back-to-back without a hitch.  The planning details were attended to from planning though clean up.  The venues were decorated with incredible style and appropriate care to make both events feel very special.  We stayed within budget and everyone really enjoyed the events.  Cocoa Belle did an excellent job for us.”

“Cocoa Belle Events MADE my mom's 60th Surprise Birthday Party.  Vanessa took what I said, and made it a reality. I couldn't have been any more impressed and thrilled with the way things were handled. The party was a huge success, thanks to organization and creativity of Cocoa Belle Events.”

“Volunteers in Medicine Clinic was so pleased to have Vanessa Pape on our Oregon Classic Dinner Auction Committee. Her vision for decorating with fresh pears and procuring new linens just for the event was a huge success. Over 400 plus guests attended and we were pleased with the feedback of “elegance”. Plus there were bags provided so the guest could take the pears home. We look forward to working with her again on a new event at Sweet Cheeks Winery.”
-Glenda G. Gordon, Development Director, Volunteers In Medicine Clinic

“Cocoa Belle Events planned a wonderful party for me.  Vanessa was excellent in coordinating the event with every vendor involved. She even handled the set up and tear down.  I didn't have to do a thing!   I would definitely use Cocoa Belle Events again.”
