Where do I begin? The Accent Indy team is one of the best, hands down. Their ideas are innovated, creative, ever changing and endless. I am always excited when I get to work with them. They are able to handle so many aspects of an event which makes my life, as a planner, easier and I allows me to focus on my client. I never have a doubt in my mind that an event will be amazing and my clients will be happy when I have Accent Indy on my side.
