Cat’s dedication, empathy, and genuine love for her work are unmatched. She went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect, seamlessly handling last-minute adjustments with grace and poise.

Cat made our wedding day flawless. She was concise, direct and clear with instructions to make the day seamless! She was easy to follow and communicated with all of my other vendors beautifully! She was flexible when I requested to change our timeline on the spot to rearrange order of events and did not hesitate to take action or initiative when seeing fit! She kept me calm and reassured not only myself but my husband throughout the entire day! Not to mention her prices are unmatched and unbeatable!

We can’t say enough good things about our experience working with Cat! She’s professional, a great communicator, transparent about her services / pricing, hardworking, not judgmental (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!

We hired Cat as our day-of coordinator and she is 100% the reason why our wedding day went as perfectly as it did. The information & checklist we went over at our 1 month meeting helped 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!!

Cat was amazing! From start to finish, the phone calls meet and greets everything went so well because of her. Cat communicated with all the vendors regarding timelines and detail, there were so many details that we did not think of that she coordinated for us. Our day went so smoothly because of her and her team. We would highly recommend reaching out to her.

Cat was AMAZING to work with! From the initial phone call, Cat was professional, friendly, detail-oriented and SO INCREDIBLY organized. I was the first in my family to have a big wedding and Cat put me at ease about all aspects of our big day. On the wedding day, she was able to set up all our tables, coordinate with vendors, and deal with any mishaps! I cannot speak enough high praise for Cat!! She was amazing!

Cat was amazing! I hired her as a day-of planner, so I did all the legwork selecting the vendors. Once the vendors and related packages were selected, Cat communicated with them regarding timelines and details. There are so many details that I didn't think of that she coordinated. My day went so smoothly because of her!

Our wedding would not have been the same without the incredible support and expertise of Cat. From the initial planning to the big day itself, she was an absolute rockstar.
Cat's ability to keep everything on schedule was remarkable. Every detail, from the ceremony to the reception, flowed seamlessly thanks to her meticulous planning and execution. We never had to worry about a thing, allowing us to fully enjoy every moment of our special day.
Her assistance in the planning process was invaluable. She provided guidance, suggestions, and solutions that perfectly aligned with our vision for the wedding.
In short, we couldn't have asked for a better wedding coordinator. Her professionalism, attention to detail, and unwavering support made our wedding day absolutely unforgettable.

Cat was a very down the earth planner . She was very detailed and thorough from the beginning . She treated this day and my party as if it was her own .
She gathered things and details that I wouldn’t have imagined . I don’t know what I would have done without her !!!! So glad that I booked her ! Also please ensure you book the full package , don’t be like me adding things last minute . But even with that she was also very understanding

Cat was absolutely wonderful from start to finish. She was by far the best vendor I have ever worked with, and my brother, who has DJ'ed dozens of events, wholeheartedly agreed. She was very reasonably priced, timely, organized, easy to communicate with, and happy to accommodate our requests and changes. She was a life saver!

We had an incredible experience working with Cat! She is truly amazing! Prior to the wedding, she answered all of my messages, calls and questions. There were things she brought up that I had not even thought of. Our wedding day was so smooth and easy going thanks to her. She worked with us to come up with a perfect timeline that allowed for us to make the most of our special day and fit all of our traditions in. She handled the day very professionally and was able to problem solve when needed, taking the stress off of us and family. Cannot say this enough, she’s AMAZING!! I would highly recommend her!

Hiring Cat as our Wedding Coordinator was the best decision and investment of the entire wedding! She is absolutely the best! Cat is very detail-oriented and thought of everything! 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!!!!

Cat Fernandez just coordinated our daughter's wedding 2 days ago and I cannot say enough good things about her service. She was very professional, very organized, as well as warm and empathetic. She handled the minor issues that happened on the wedding day with confidence and resourcefulness and was the absolute master of details. I am very glad we were able to work with her for this wedding as she was able to divert any "stressors" on the wedding day away from the bride to allow her to really enjoy herself worry free!

Catherine was wonderful to work with! She is so sweet, kind, extremely organized and handled my last minute oversights graciously. I booked her as our day-of planner with just over a month to go before our wedding date and she went above and beyond in that short amount of time to make sure everything was taken care of. She made us feel at ease and our big day went perfectly! You will not regret choosing her to manage your special day!

Catherine was an angel sent from above on my wedding day. She set up and decorated my venue as well as cleaned up everything once the night was over with. She did it all with such grace even during the terrible thunderstorms that evening. Catherine also made sure all my other vendors had what they needed so my wedding could run smoothly. She has an amazing personality and is SO sweet. I knew the second I met her that she was going to be everything I needed and more. During our meeting before the wedding she asked all the right questions and was able to organized my day from start to finish to ensure that my wedding was perfect. I can not say enough incredible things about Catherine. If you want a wedding coordinator that is not only organized, flexible, and knowledgeable then Catherine is your girl! Hands down one of the best decisions I made.
