Christine’s meringue buttercream saved me. After my first baker was recalled to active duty, I had the toughest time finding good cake at a reasonable price. I was going to do a tasting cake and then sheets from central market when I decided to give it one last try. Christine's prices were lower than other storefront bakeries, the same price as the professional home baker I originally booked, and unlike the storefront bakers she used the meringue buttercream without an upcharge. When I picked up my cake samples from Christine, they were professionally packaged, slices of actual cake (not cupcakes or anything else, they bake and taste differently), and looked wonderful. The carrot cake was amazing and so was the tiramisu. And when I tasted the buttercream, I knew I had found the my new baker. A couple weeks later I was having the hardest time finding a caterer with any professionalism within my budget. Every caterer recommended to me by my venue, other vendors, local groups was flakier than the last. I understand many have restaurants and other primary businesses, but honestly, they could not manage to return basic inquiries or even couldn’t give me quotes on time. Every time I had a question (what is included in terms of service staff, in terms of serving ware, do you have chafing dishes or do I have to provide), I had days sometimes weeks of delays. One caterer went out of the country for 3 weeks. Didn’t get back to me until he returned and then was surprised I didn't want to work with him. I was at my wits end and texted Christine for caterer recommendations. She asked me what I needed, and then she told me she and her staff could handle it. The next day she got me an actual quote, a professional one. It was in budget, had everything and bam. I signed the (also professional) contract. I am a foodie. Very particular about recipes and ingredients. And I had a panic attack about the quantity of food and kept adding food to the order until Christine was like “I promise you have enough.” I put a lot of faith in the quality of her buttercream because I didn't taste anything. And I was not disappointed. Her Mac and Cheese was amazing. I got so many compliments on my grazing board, the scones, the side dishes and salads, everything was delicious. And my guests all had only lovely things to say. She went above and beyond with her empathy, understanding, and professionalism. And her food was great. She was more than a vendor, she was a source of sanity and stability in a chaotic time. A friend. Can’t recommend her enough. Cake or Caterer, you can't go wrong with C Marie's.

I don't know where to even begin with this review of Christine and Daniel with C. Marie's Events (and Sweets)! I found them on the Knot on a whim, sent them a message through the Knot and I got a phone call from Christine the next morning where we clicked IMMEDIATELY! After talking with her for an hour on the phone I knew I needed to hire her for anything and everything regarding our wedding. As a widow, this was my second wedding and I had so many regrets with my first - I went into this planning knowing I didn't want a single regret afterwards. Within the first week of our call, we met in person and I shared all my dreams and desires, Christine feverishly took notes and 4 months later she created the wedding of my actual dreams! We utilized everything they offered, and I am so glad we did!!! She did our cakes, ran our errands, helped put together the bridesmaid/groomsmen gifts/invites, and anything else I texted her at 3am on the regular. She will greet you with the most inviting smile and her contagious laugh! Faith was very important to us, and she even prayed over us on our wedding day and during planning meetings! Her food and cakes were RAVED by every single guest, and there was hardly anything left after the wedding! If you are looking for a trustworthy, creative, fun, detailed, on-the-ball wedding planner, look no further... send C. Marie's Events (and sweets) a message to meet the wedding/event planner of your dreams!
