Something Borrowed has always been great for us. I use them in Bowling Green, KY and they have always delivered. Fantastic service.
I cannot say enough amazing things about Something Borrowed Owensboro and Summer!!! I gave Summer just one month’s notice to help plan a retirement party, all while I was coordinating everything from another state, and she handled it FLAWLESSLY!
From start to finish, the entire process was so stress-free and easy. I gave Summer my vision, and she took it and ran with it! She brought everything together beautifully and took so much off my plate. I never had to worry about the details because I knew she had everything under control.
Summer truly went above and beyond to make this celebration special. I am so grateful for her creativity, professionalism, and attention to detail. If you’re planning an event, especially from out of town, I cannot recommend Something Borrowed Owensboro enough! 10/10 experience!!!

Highly recommend Something Borrowed for event planning. Summer planned our daughter’s May 30 wedding at Western KY Botanical Gardens. I could write pages and pages about how she went above and beyond. Each month of planning she kept us on track. She had the details in mind so we didn’t have to. In the final weeks counting down she calmed our nerves. The little finishing touches which make a wedding special—the wedding signs, the lights, bride and groom chairs and head table, so many others—we didn’t have to ask. Summer knew what we needed because she took the time over the 6 months of planning to really get to know the bride and groom, so at the finish line, she tied everything up in a neat little bow and delivered the absolute most perfect wedding day ever. She and her partner husband Kurt arrived on wedding day early morning to set up the arch and yard games (get them! They were a HIT!!) and set up until everything was perfect. Our Day Of Coordinator Kae was knowledgeable, somehow was everywhere at once, and made everyone stay on task and everything flow perfectly (you’re the best, Kae!). As MOTB, I could not have planned this wedding without Something Borrowed. So many of our guests said this was the best wedding they’d ever been to. I credit that in no small part to Summer and her team. Thank you SO MUCH. It was a day we will cherish always. You all mean the world to us.

Summer at Something Borrowed Owensboro was amazing to work with! We rented yard games and gold candlesticks through them for our May wedding, and a few months before the wedding we decided to also hire them to decorate our venue. I provided detailed instructions and inspiration photos, and she and her team completely exceeded my expectations. They created the most elegant and elevated wedding — it turned out even better than I imagined! 10/10 would recommend them for rentals, decorating, and setup for any special event!!

Something Borrowed did all the work to make our Hard Hats and High Heels Masquerade Ball photo booth a nice addition to the event. Special shout out to Katelyn for making everything seamless.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Something Borrowed was absolutely incredible and played such a huge role in making our wedding day stress-free and perfect. Summer and her team handled setup and tear-down seamlessly, allowing us to truly enjoy every moment without worrying about the details.
I also utilized their day-of wedding coordinator, and Allyson was an absolute lifesaver. From keeping everything on schedule to handling last-minute details with ease, she went above and beyond and brought so much calm to the day.
We also added Pearl the photo booth, which was an absolute hit with our guests! It brought so much fun to the reception and gave us amazing memories to look back on.
I can’t recommend Something Borrowed enough, professional, organized, and truly invested in making your day unforgettable. They exceeded every expectation!
