About
Over the last 30 years I have helped add the extra finesse to many weddings and parties. My daughter has grown up helping and is very good at planning events. My daughter-in-law has joined with a background in decorating. Due to our growth, we recently added several other planners/coordinators/assistants. Most all of us have our food handlers and alcohol serving licenses. Together, we have just what it takes to create the perfect experience for you. We have the young touch with the years of experience to create a perfect event full of finesse.

We are so grateful to have worked with finesse weddings and events. Cassidy was truly amazing and made our wedding day absolutely perfect. From our first meeting to the big day, she was organized, thoughtful, and so helpful. She answered all of our questions during the planning process, offered great resources, and really understood our vision.
On the wedding day, she handled everything seamlessly! Setting up, managing the timeline, and bringing every detail to life just as we imagined. Because of her, we were able to fully enjoy our day without any stress.
Cassidy was a joy to work with, and we’ll definitely work with her and her team again for future events. If you’re looking for a reliable, kind, and talented day of coordinator, this is the team to go with!
She was wonderful and so kind. She did her very best with the issues we had with the actual venue,(not her at all) she even went over and beyond helping us with the clean up. I'm so appreciative! I have recommended her to my friend for her daughters wedding. We loved her

If you are considering getting a weddingcoordinator, DO IT and choose Finesse Weddings. I was on the fence about booking with someone but am so so glad I did. Cassidy continued to check in with me leading up to my big day making sure I had everything I needed. On my wedding day she was incredibly focused and attentive to all the details making sure everything was in its right place and the day was running smoothly. She continued to make sure we were enjoying our evening and we did not have to worry about a single thing. Having her there was seriously a game changer and my day would not have been nearly as wonderful without her there! Thank you Cassidy!
Having Tara and her daughter help us with our rehearsal and day of coordination was the best decision! They were so kind and so helpful and knew exactly what to do. They helped decorate and make sure the day went smoothly. They got back to me very quickly with any questions or answers we had. If any hiccups along the way came they solved the issue with ease. I felt very calm knowing they were on top of everything. I would recommend Finesse Weddings and Events to anyone getting married or just need extra help planning an event. Our day was perfect because of them!
Details: Wedding • 151 - 200 guests • Partial planning (help in select areas) • Setup • Day-of coordination • 6 - 8 months • My home, venue, etc.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Our pricing is generally based on the entire event and not priced out for individual projects and meetings, etc.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I find out their basic needs first. If it is something I can help with then I set an appointment for a consult, take down more information and provide a price quote.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I trained on the job in the catering department at two colleges. I have planned and coordinated 100s of corporate events, parties and weddings. My formal education is elementary education- that requires organizational skills! I also had a business of 500+ consultants and my daughter grew up watching and helping me and has now joined me in our business, Finesse Weddings and Events. We have taken online trainings and learned together.
