C & A Event Planning

every step of the way. Heather was a godsend the day-of, and I honestly cannot imagine the event without her. Would definitely recommend!

etail was forgotten and our day ran as seamless as possible. We cannot thank them enough for all their hard work and we would recommend to anyone looking for a wedding coordinator, planner, or floral designer. Worth every penny!

ask. My daughter is in Pittsburgh and I am in Atlanta so we could not do this without her. We highly recommend her.

ed for or wedding day. She was also quick to find solutions to anything that came up last minute. I trust her implicitly. If you give her a vision, she will make it happen.

uise over, this is why you hire the incredible Ashley Paul! She takes every moment and makes it a memory, she’s efficient and will not drop the ball, if things need to change because of circumstances there is nobody better suited to accommodate, we truly had a dream wedding and I cannot give enough credit to Ashley from start to finish, we are eternally grateful :) Highly highly highly recommend Travis and Caitlin Moritz

ing. She did not hesitate to roll up her sleeves and help with the grunt work on top of coordinating the day. From staying on top of vendors duties to greeting the guests to keeping things moving on schedule, she helped make the day feel seamless. Thank you C & A Event Planning!

king with Ashley for almost 3 years (!). Ashley was great at making our vision come to life from the design standpoint and pointing us to other great vendors (as well as quickly answering all of our questions as we moved through the planning process!). On the day of, everything went so smoothly and our venue looked beautiful - even better than we ever could've imagined. Cathy was our onsite coordinator the day-of, and we feel like we barely saw her yet she was always magically in front of us whenever we needed anything. She went above and beyond to make sure our guests had a great time. We never had to worry about a single thing and got to sit back and truly enjoy our own wedding day. I highly recommend C&A Event Planning.

roat we spent that holiday, like most others of 2020, in our own social bubble. So after a decade together and in the midst of the pandemic, we didn't want to wait any longer to say our I Dos. We decided to have an intimate, private, family only wedding in September 2021 amidst the vineyards and lakes of Upstate NY. And that is exactly what it felt like working with Cathy and Ashley of C&A Event Planning - like working with family. The mother and daughter team is what drew us to this vendor and made their services so personal and unique. We ended up renting a house and planning a 5 day getaway for our families full of excursions, live music, a welcome BBQ, and an elegant family wedding dinner. Because of our jobs, we couldn't travel for any in-person viewings and tastings. But Ashley and Cathy were there every step of the way to help plan it all. They are both kind, creative, attentive to detail, care about what they do and the people they work with. The relationships C&A have with local vendors and their collaborations supporting local business is what sets them apart. Again, it's what makes working with them feel like family. We could not be more grateful for everything they did - it was truly a fairytale.

e over it. Between the flowers, greenery and candle placement our wedding was stunning. We received so many compliments throughout the night and days after wedding. Highly recommend working with C & A event planning!

ed on the floral designs and they show amazing in all our photos. They handled every detail of our wedding from start to finish, which allowed us to sit back and enjoy every moment of the wedding. I would recommend their services to anyone and am so grateful to have had them apart of our special day. It was truly PERFECT and FLAWLESS.

ues before and after the wedding. Unfortunately on the day of our wedding, one of our other vendors really dropped the ball but, Ashley and Cathy picked up their slack and made the evening incredible for us. Our florals were beyond beautiful and Ashley and Cathy made sure everything came to life exactly as I imagined. If I had to do it over, I would hire C&A Event Planning again a million times over.

g was taken care of of, and on your special day that extra reassurance is needed! She gave me insight and guidance through the whole entire getting married process. She was easy to get a hold of and responded to any question that I had within a reasonable time. Our special day was perfect and I cant thank Ashley enough for everything she did to make our wedding come to life.

ley was able to give me an amazing floral proposal that helped me figure out my vision and the end result far exceeded my expectations of what my florals would look like. Their floral designs perfectly fit my style and tied my wedding together perfectly! Everyone was gushy over the florals and I was right there with them. I highly recommend you hire C&A Event Planning for your wedding. Ashley is great to work with and it takes a lot of stress away knowing your florals will be taken care of and look amazing!

ay of coordination services and florals as she was highly recommended by my venue owner. It was also a great sign that Ashley herself got married at my venue, so who else could know it better? “Day of coordination” is a bit of a misnomer, as Ashley was very helpful throughout the planning process leading up to the day of the wedding. She was very quick to respond to all of my emails and made the online payment and contract signing process very easy. She gave a lot of input about vendors and suggestions about layout and design. She also kept all the documents neatly organized on a shared Google drive. She sent numerous emails throughout the year to help keep this procrastinating bride on top of everything. We did two walkthroughs one about a year before and another a couple months before the wedding, which were both very helpful in planning my vision. Ashley was there for the rehearsal the day before and then worked her magic coordinating all my vendors the day of the wedding. Everything ran smoothly throughout the ceremony and reception. For the florals, Ashley took ideas from my Pinterest wedding board and input from our conversations to make a detailed proposal. They day of my wedding, she was there early to set up the ceremony and reception sites. The reception tables had beautiful garlands going down the long tables. The ceremony site was the most perfect explosion of eucalyptus and roses that I could have ever imagined! My vision (and Pinterest board) had come to life and so much more. I think she added even more florals to the ceremony site than originally planned and it was breathtaking to see for the first time, to walk down the aisle, and to look back upon time and time again in my pictures and video. Ashley was able to make adjustments the day of to my bridal bouquet and boutonnieres, to make everything perfect. My bouquet was the most gigantic and wild bouquet of my dreams and I did not want to put it down! Today, seven months later, my house is covered in the pressed and dried flowers and garlands that I cannot bear to throw away. Ashley was organized, informative, sweet, she was a pleasure to work with, and I cannot recommend C & A Event Planning enough. You will NOT regret hiring her!

r decor. Ashley was extremely patient with me through the process even when I decided to make changes at the last minute. They worked with me to repurpose flowers from the ceremony to the reception which was a huge budget saver. I wasn’t able to take all of my flowers home and C&A worked to donate our flowers to a local hospital! For planning, Ashley proactively checked-in regularly and was able to help with recommendations when I was in a pinch. They are very familiar with our venue which was also extremely helpful. Thank you C&A for everything!

to our wedding day Ashley(who by the way had just had baby) was so incredibly responsive and patient. We did the whole floral selection via email and she made it so simple to pick and choose. I met Cathy at the rehearsal the night before the wedding for the first time. She was very organized but so gentle and sweet. She was able to keep our rowdy crew focused long enough to learn where to stand and what to do so we didn’t look like a bunch of fools! On the day of the wedding when I saw our wedding venue completed with all the florals I teared up because the space was so incredibly beautiful! Our bouquets and the ceremony arch florals were absolutely to die for.....soooooo beautiful! During the ceremony Cathy was complete angel getting all of us in order and keeping me calm. She was there every step of the way. Thanks ladies for making our dream a reality! We are forever grateful!!!! The Wozniak’s

he process. And yes, even the most organized, “type A” person can get overwhelmed with wedding planning. Ashley took care of everything in the months leading up to our wedding, subtly nudging when needed, and Cathy ran the show as our day-of coordinator. Our families loved Cathy and mentioned to me how calm she was on a very chaotic day (note to future brides/grooms: keep that rain plan handy). Everything was totally seamless, I passed off to Ashley and Cathy a box for our decor, ceremony and random elements, everything was elegantly displayed and where it should have been. I can’t imagine having taken care of all those details myself. Ashley and Cathy also took care of my flowers and they were stunning. I really didn’t know what I wanted. I sent Ashley a few Pinterest images, and she sent me a quote the next day. Super easy and the flowers were just what I had in mind but couldn’t articulate. They were gorgeous and fit our aesthetic perfectly (abundance, but not audacious). They even explained how to keep the air plant as a souvenir and it now sits in a globe in our living room. Give yourself a wedding present and hire Ashley and Cathy, they’re kind people who are great at their jobs.

! They even perfectly hung the fabric for our arbor!

reception as well as exceptional wedding coordination services. They knew the ins and outs of our venue and were 100% responsive leading up to the big event. We couldn't have done it without them!!!

ganized and readily available during the planning process. Her mother, Cathy, was just as wonderful to work with! They both made sure everything was exactly the way we envisioned, and it ended up being everything we hoped for and more! We couldn’t be happier to have worked with C & A Event Planning!

edibly pleasant. Despite them having many projects going on at the same time, both Ashley & Cathy always made me feel super tucked in. There was never a lag in communication and they checked in with me along the way to assure that I was feeling good about everything. I was provided helpful materials and everything was super organized, helping me feel more calm. The actual day went over amazingly! Ashley & Cathy came the day before to drop things off at the venue & run through rehearsal and check in, and then earl the day of the wedding to helped set everything up. They right away understood my vision for the wedding and the flowers (bouquet & arbor & table settings) were EXACTLY what I imagined and dreamed of. They went so nicely with all the rental items, and they did an amazing job putting it all together. They made sure that all the additional items I brought were displayed just so, and nothing got lost, misplaced or broken. Everything was virtually flawless, and the ladies kept me calm and feeling like a queen. I loved working with C&A Event Planning and I'd recommend them to anyone who is looking to have a personal and individualized approach to wedding planning. They truly go above and beyond what is expected.

ave been able to pull off our outdoor wedding! We were not your typical couple or venue. Our wedding location was on my in-law’s property, and we were planning an outdoor ceremony under the pine trees with reception under a tent. We also had a 5.5-month-old, so I knew that I couldn’t do all the planning by myself with a baby! Ashley & Cathy met with us onsite early on in the planning and helped flesh out site layout and design. Over the course of many months of planning, Ashley kept me organized, on track and provided guidance while choosing my vendors, etc. For florals, my father in law grows dahlias that we wanted to use as part of our arrangements. Ashley & Cathy worked with me to come up with arrangements that utilized the dahlias and also pulled together the rustic country theme I was looking for. They came to our site the day before to cut the fresh flowers and arranged everything on site in order to ensure that the arrangements were fresh for our big day. My father in law also had a spectacular lily that just bloomed the day before our wedding, so he offered it to them to include in my bouquet. They pulled off one of the most stunning floral arrangements I could imagine (our photographer even commented on how beautiful it was!). Cathy went above and beyond when decorating under the tent as well – she used every last bit of greenery she had and decorated our pallet bar and other finishing touches that weren’t even included in our floral contract. As for the day of coordination… again, I don’t think I could have ever pulled off my vision without Ashley and Cathy. When we woke up on the day of our wedding it was gray and pouring rain. Ashley and Cathy remained calm and got to work in decorating the tent and ceremony site. They were ready to use plan B (everything under the tent) if the weather didn’t cooperate. However, the weather miraculously shifted and the day ended up being beautiful and sunny just in time for the 4 pm outdoor ceremony under the pines. Ashley and Cathy worked all day in the messy weather preparing the site and then continued to help ensure the ceremony and reception ran smoothly. We had so many compliments from guests on how beautiful everything looked and how smoothly everything went. I can’t thank Ashley and Cathy enough for helping to bring the vision I had for my wedding day to life. It was a magical day!

e florals will be gorgeous and the day will run smoothly. Her attention to detail and love for her client's shows in everything she does, never leaving anything unturned. If you need help planning a beautiful wedding, don't look any further, hire Ashley, you won't be disappointed!

Since our venue was outdoors and we had to hire all of our vendors separately, there was a lot to coordinate and to plan for. We were relying on our family for a lot of support in the planning process, but we knew that as the wedding approached we did not want our family to be stressed out on the big day- that’s where Ashley and Cathy came in! From the moment we started working with them, Ashley and Cathy were kind, patient, creative, and professional about every detail. We met with Cathy several months before the wedding to go over details, and she put our minds at ease as she shared her wisdom and knowledge from her almost 30 years in the event industry! We had several phone conversations with Ashley throughout the whole process, and she made a huge effort to learn about and understand our aesthetic and vision for the day- which she executed perfectly in ways that were better than we could have ever imagined. In addition to being available and responsive to all of our ideas, questions, and concerns leading up to the wedding, Ashley and Cathy came out to our venue the day before to go over any last-minute details and rehearsals. Again, they put our minds at ease as they handled all of our anxiety-driven questions and concerns with the utmost patience, organization, and attention to detail. On the day of the wedding, Ashley and Cathy handled everything from directing guests, managing the catering staff, setting up table decorations, and facilitating the timeline of the ceremony and reception. We did not have to worry or stress about a single thing the whole day! And if any of us had a question or concern, Ashley and Cathy were there to handle it in a way that appeared effortless! They truly were wonderful to work with from start to finish, and I would recommend their services to anyone looking for wedding coordinators who are fun, kind, patient, creative, passionate, talented, and organized!

nds at ease in the day-of coordination of our wedding. Our wedding wasn’t “traditional” in that we hosted it on our own property. Ashley never hesitated with any of the planning and was full of referrals when we didn’t know where to look. It was great to have a friendly and professional team there to work our wedding day. They went above and beyond when another vendor we paid extra to do extra work, slacked off the day of the wedding. She didn’t bother us with these details during our wedding, she just handled it on her own so we could just enjoy our day! She sent a follow up e-mail after the wedding where we were able to handle the situation appropriately. Ashley and her mom Cathy were so great! We’re still receiving compliments on how smoothly our day ran and how it was the best organized wedding people had been to – and we have Ashley and Cathy to thank for that!

heck in every now and then to see where I was at and to give vendor recommendations, which was nice. In December, we decided to move our date up almost an entire year and it wasn't a problem at all (other than us making sure we chose a date they were available for)! Ashley went right into it to make sure we were on track with our new date. The week before the wedding, she independently contacted all of my vendors to check in with them and make sure we were all on the same page. All the mundane, trivial information I emailed her or put in our shared Google folder had been read and formatted nicely. I never had a doubt that she knew what my vision was and how everything would work together. The day of could not have gone smoother. The hiccups that I was aware of (somehow we managed to lose the table numbers and some votives, oh well!) were small and Cathy & Ashley figured out solutions quickly. We were barely ever bothered by them during the day so we were able to enjoy our wedding, which in the end is what we hired them for! The florals were absolutely beautiful and exactly what I imagined. Our color scheme was "colorful" which I was afraid would backfire but everything was so cohesive and gorgeous!

n and sent reminders for things that needed to be done. Whenever I had questions or concerns, Ashley would respond promptly with answers and solutions. However silly I felt asking a question, she was helpful. We did a walk through, which helped with a lot of logistics I didn't even think of. They offered suggestions based on their previous experiences with the venue. The day before they came to rehearsal, and though I was stressed out, they reminded me to breathe, relax, and they'd handle the rest. This is exactly what I needed! The day of they came for set up (everything was exactly how I envisioned it), their attention to detail is impeccable. Everything seemed to run smoothly, and if any hiccups happened, they handled it! For florals, I sent Ashley some pins from Pinterest with bouquets and centerpieces that I liked. I also sent her my bridesmaid's dresses because they were floral and I wanted to compliment them. Based on those, Ashley sent me some flowers, which were perfect. She included snapdragons, which brought back childhood memories and I would have never thought of including. The florals in person were more beautiful than what I had pinned and imagined. We received so many compliments on the centerpieces, floral crowns, bouquets, boutonnieres and corsages. I was hesitant a first to hire a wedding coordinator, but honestly, I don't know what I would have done without C &A! We appreciate how they made our day everything we wanted it to be!

them sooner to help me plan. We utilized Ashley and Cathy's services for wedding coordination (incl. day of setup) as well as floral decor. We will also be working together soon, I hope, regarding wedding blog submission once my photos are in! The coordination that they provided was absolutely worth every penny! They were so accommodating and helpful considering being an out of town bride and helped me with pulling all my prior planning together and making sure the day ran smoothly. The owner of our venue turned out to be a very unprofessional person last minute leading up to the wedding (very much so just a week before!) and tried very hard to NOT work with C&A out of his pride and ego issues, but both of them remained professional themselves and helped me get through the various issues with the venue owner, taking care of things so I would not have to stress so much over the problems. They were like guardian angels to making sure my now husband and I had a perfect day no matter what the venue owner tried to do and our wedding day couldn't have been more perfect thanks to the both of them!! They also helped tremendously with the logistics of decor drop off and did the day of setup, which was amazing and I am still so thankful for! I couldn't have pulled all that off without them :) As for the florals, they were breathtaking and beautiful. The greenery was exactly as I imagined it and the flowers utilized throughout the decor fit perfectly with our colors and theme. I LOVED my flower crown and it lasted all evening! Everything was presented to us in a visual estimate utilizing pinterest photos that I found floral inspiration in, which was super helpful. I would work with C&A again in a heartbeat and I would absolutely recommend their services!!!

e country. We hired C&A Event Planning to do our day-of coordination as well as our florals. Ashley’s incredible professionalism and organization were apparent as soon as we started working together and you could not find two kinder, warmer women than Ashley and her mother. We were able to confirm all sorts of details the months before the wedding with Ashley. She was able to provide many excellent vendor recommendations and remained our point of contact with all of our vendors so as the day and tiny details got closer there was less for us to worry about. The florals were everything I imagined and more! I had a vision of a colorful, joyful, wedding and Ashley made it happen. I cannot say enough about C&A Event Planning and the amazing women who helped make our wedding day everything that it was. We really could not have done it without them! I still can’t stop looking at pictures of my bouquet…

ed for more picture perfect flowers for our wedding!!! Ashley was just so kind and patient with us, we only sort of knew what we wanted and knew for sure what we didn't want. She talked us through what would work together, what wouldn't and really could not have been more helpful!!! Thank you!!

h any questions we had about the planning or the day itself. We worked with Ashley to arrange a timeline for the day, confirm vendors, and coordinate everything on the day of. It was very nice to have someone there to make the say go smoothly so we didn't have to deal with anything. There were one or two minor hiccups (hair dressers showed up way early at 8am, and cake as missing flowers) but little things are to be expected, and overall the day went off without a hitch. Ashley and her team were very professional and dealt with anything that came up, and they made sure they ran important decisions by me. They also did all the florals for the event. I cannot say enough about the florals and the design --- they were more beautiful than I could have imagined, and we got so many compliments on them. Truly they were a work of art - and I'm not even a flower person. I would highly recommend C&A - they did an excellent job coordinating and putting together stunning flowers. I also felt like their services were very reasonably priced and payment was always a breeze. Definitely check out C&A Event Planning for your event!!

that, I believe, is truly unique from other wedding planners in Upstate New York. We hired Ashley and Cathy to be our Day of Coordinators as well as for our floral arrangements, bouquets, etc. On a personal level after working with Ashley the most over the past year, I truly have come to admire her! Her work ethic and dedication to helping her clients surpassed my expectations – she always was there for a phone call, quickly answered my emails, and was so friendly and easy to work with! She was there for every preliminary venue meeting we had and was instrumental in making sure everything was perfect the day of our wedding. Cathy is just as amazing as well – our flowers for our wedding were stunning and we couldn’t have been happier! My advice to other brides out there… go with C&A! With love, Jen.

ts, they either came straight to me or asked my husband. They were a delight to work with and were present for our rehearsal. I can't recommend them enough!

ing a good time. They handled everything professionally and with ease. Throughout the entire planning process they provided me with great ideas and plenty of comfort and advice for any concerns I had about my wedding. I highly recommend Ashley and Cathy for your wedding. The two of them together is the best investment you can make when planning your special day!

ct, without them I have no idea what I would have done. If you needed it..they had it, if you forgot it..they remembered it, from the smallest details to the big ones. I would highly reccomend them for your event, this is a duo you dont want to pass by!

just enjoy the wedding instead of worrying about details. They did the most amazing job and are the nicest people you can work with. They literally think of everything and make sure that you are prepared for everything. They worked with all my vendors to get them all cordinated for the big day and I didn't have to do anything but enjoy my wedding. I highly recommend everyone to use them and it is worth every penny!

t of our wedding day without worrying about anything. We could not have done it without her! She spent hours organizing our decor and overseeing the vendor setup to ensure it was flawless. She took care of practically every detail and executed it exactly the way we had hoped. We both felt confident knowing Ashley was in control; we were able to fully enjoy our day and our guests without a worry! Thank you Ashley, you did so much to make our wedding a dream

mmend them!
