How do I even begin to explain how incredibly talented and professional Cathleen is?! She not only planned an unbelievable beach wedding on the beach where my husband proposed to me and basically our favorite place on earth, she even helped us with our rehearsal dinner! From the moment we had our first consultation, Cathleen always made herself available and addressed any and all of concerns/questions right away. I thought picking out vendors would be such a daunting and scary process but Cathleen made it so simple. Based off our conversations, she created a spreadsheet of all the vendors that were available for our dates and within our budget. She made selecting hair, makeup, a photographer, and a florist such a fun experience and I'm still so incredibly proud of all the female small business owners I was able to support with our wedding. They all did such an amazing job. Despite a weather hiccup that came completely out of nowhere, Cathleen handled every unexpected obstacle that came that day with such grace and quickness. I had absolutely no idea about even half of the things Cathleen had to wrangle that day because she wanted to make sure I spent all my energy that day dancing and having the best time with my husband, friends and family - which I did! Hiring her will 100% be the best decision of your life... well second best ;D

Rachel! Thank you immensely for your heartfelt praise! Designing your beach wedding was an absolute joy, and I'm thrilled you found the process smooth and enjoyable. I'm so happy I was able to support you in cherishing every moment and that supporting local female entrepreneurs was also a highlight for you. It means the world to hear that hiring me was among your best decisions - I had such a blast working with you! If you ever need assistance in the future, I'm just a message away!

Cathleen did day-of coordination for my mid-sized (about 70 guests) wedding in May. She was lovely to work with, very kind and super easy to communicate with. She was very committed to making sure our day was smooth and that things were set up and broken down by our cut-off time at the end of the night. She even brought my wedding dress home for me so I could go straight to an afterparty gathering nearby our venue. My mom also commented how sweet and hardworking Cathleen was and I totally agree. We had two video calls leading up to the wedding so she was prepared for the reception venue setup on the day of the wedding.

Romina! Thank you so much for your thoughtful words! It was truly a pleasure working with you and being part of such a beautiful celebration. From our video calls to the big day itself, it was wonderful seeing everything come together just as you envisioned. You and your family were so warm and welcoming and truly such a joy to work with. I’m so happy I could help make the night smooth and stress-free—even down to getting your dress home so you could fully enjoy the afterparty! I hope you guys are thriving in your first year together and enjoying the first of many, many loving milestones in your future! Until we meet again! <3
