Cat was absolutely incredible. From start to finish, communication and details were so organized. I hired her for 3 months out and as soon as she came in I felt like I could breath...
e. She was calm and collected and brought my vision to life. I am a pretty disorganized and chaotic person when it comes to details and plans, but she made me feel like everything was fine, and it was. My husband (eeeep) and I had THE best day of our lives, and that was in huge thanks to Cat. And now I'm forcing her to be my friend!!

Hiring Cat to handle our wedding was the best decision my wife and I made during the entire planning process. From the first meeting through the big day Cat’s professionalism, orga...
nization, & leadership were shown to be what the industry standard should be. My wife and I live overseas and Cat, by herself, took our vision and far exceeded our expectations to make our day the absolute best it could be. There were no hiccups, interruptions, or complications. All the vendors & guests were where they needed to be in a timely fashion and more importantly on the same page. You won’t be in good hands with Cat, you’ll be in the best ones. Look no further for a coordinator.

Cat is a must have if you’re planning your wedding and need a solid coordinator by your side. She was so helpful and sweet throughout the 3 months before my wedding - she is very ...
meticulous and thinks about the details you haven’t even considered. She’s proactive with vendors and listens to any concerns you may have and makes sure they’re properly addressed. On the day of, she handled everything and kept me updated on the little hiccups (there will always be some) but didn’t put too much pressure on me and reminded me to breathe and enjoy! I highly recommend her for any wedding and I’m so happy she was by my side.

y wedding day and when that day happened all I had to do is sit up in my bridal suite and she took care of everything. If you are on the fence about hiring a coordinator I 100% recommend getting one (specifically Cat) as it took off so much stress. My wedding day was absolutely perfect and I owe it all to her. Plus my family and wedding party all loved her!

my strengths (decoration visuals, spreadsheets, etc) and we were a team working towards a common goal. Cat is also very independent and a self-starter. There were several hiccups that she fixed without me even being aware of. She either told me about it later or I heard from someone else. We also utilized and paid for an additional assistant who was so sweet and a hard worker. Thank you Cat, for everything. -Mr. & Mrs. Mondini

al (our families are nuts so we really appreciated how easy going she was about all of their antics!), extremely down to earth and simply enjoyable to be around. Without even being asked, she was respectful of our budget and explained how one of her packages with a lower cost would actually be more appropriate for our needs, even thought we were prepared to pay more. That showed so much genuine integrity and is just another example (of many I could give) why you should absolutely work with her! Cat over delivered on everything she committed to do for us and executed a perfect night for us! We’re SO thankful we got to work with her!

elped me know exactly what specific details I needed to decide on as the day got closer. She was always available to answer any question I had, and was great about taking over vendor communication. Cat kept everything exactly on schedule throughout the night -- there were absolutely no pauses or awkward moments in the flow of events. My husband and I felt 10000x more relaxed on our wedding day because we knew Cat had everything under control. If it hadn't been for Cat, our day truly would not have been so smooth, so relaxed, and so perfect. Both of our families commented on how impressed they were with her kindness and her efficiency. We were on the fence about needing a coordinator throughout our planning process, but we are both SO GLAD we found Cat. If you want a calm & organized wedding day, you absolutely need to hire her!!

I truly don't think there is anyone else who could have made our wedding go as smoothly as it did, especially with the multiple room flips and layouts and all of the small details! My wedding day was very smooth and stress free because Cat thought of EVERYTHING and ahead of time, so there were NO issues on Wedding Day. I truly cannot speak highly enough of her. 10/10 RECOMMEND!!!!
