OUR VENUE REPERTOIRE - WE CAN PLAN ANYWHERE YOUR IMAGINATION TAKES YOU!

Cathy was an absolute dream to work with. With both my husband and I working busy jobs, we needed someone who could keep us on track and look after every detail. Cathy does exactly that. One of our vendors said it best: There are planners who are designers, and then there are planners who are masters of the plan. Cathy is the latter - she knows seemingly every vendor in the NY area, and they all know her and respect her. We didn't have to worry about a THING. If you need someone who knows everyone and everything, who will make sure every i is dotted and t is crossed, Cathy is your person. We couldn't recommend her enough!

Cathy is the best at what she does - making sure your wedding day goes off without a hitch. I absolutely couldn't have done this without her! Cathy is detail-oriented and makes sure every step of the way that you are getting what you want out of your wedding - she'll be your biggest advocate. Cathy is extremely organized and has a Google doc for everything you could think of, and also ten things you never would - she keeps track of EVERYTHING, which is exactly what you need when going through this crazy process. She's the best hire you'll make for your wedding, no question about it! My sister and I both used Cathy's Elegant Events for our weddings, and we have no regrets - email Cathy right now!

Cathy is incredible! Hiring her was the best decision we made. First and foremost, she is a logistical wizard. Our wedding was logistically complex – a weekend long summer camp wedding. She is extremely organized in a way that makes wedding planning easy, she seems to know every vendor, and she really knows what “works”. She is a great problem solver, an absolute joy to work with, and she makes the planning process chill and fun, both by being super organized and by being a great hang. Cannot recommend Cathy enough!
