Carissa was like my wedding Fairy Godmother. We brought her team on for eight-week-out coordination to make our 150 person wedding in Battery Park happen. It was the best decision....
She was so helpful in getting everything done without me having to check in, all while traveling internationally and executing other weddings. She had so, so many little tips and tricks before the big day that paid off. And the day of -- WOW. Everything went so smoothly, and I was so much more relaxed than I ever expected because Carissa and her team were just on top of it all. Like, I forgot my vow book at the hotel, we realized 20 minutes before the ceremony, and Carissa went and got it no issue. There were so many little moments like that. I 100% enjoyed our wedding day more because of her team. Highly, highly recommend!

We loved working with Carissa! We came in with some strong opinions on certain aspects of our wedding but an unclear vision overall. She made sure that we got exactly what we wante...
d on the things we cared a lot about, and she held our hands through the other parts where we didn't have strong opinions or were confused.
There were so many aspects of the planning process that she almost completely took off our plate, and I'm sure there are a ton of things she handled that we didn't even know about. If we hadn't had Carissa, we would have structured our wedding in a fundamentally incompatible way with the things that we wanted to do, and it would have been a mess. Instead, the day flowed perfectly and we got the exact day that we pictured in our heads.

Carissa was an amazing wedding coordinator and I highly recommend her. She helped me organize a two day, Hindu and Jewish wedding with 170 guests at Dumbo Loft and Brooklyn Botanic...
Garden. She is highly knowledgable, organized, kind, and calm. She is also a great problem-solver and helped keep everything running smoothly over our wedding weekend. Two recommendations: (1) get full planning support from Carissa; (2) use her recommended vendors! They are the best. I'm deeply grateful to Carissa and her team for their support and can't recommend them highly enough.

Carissa was our Day of Coordinator for our wedding and we were so happy she was there! Carissa did all of the behind the scenes things, such as ensuring all vendors were on time an...
d where they were supposed to be, keeping up with the timeline for the photos and the wedding party in general and solving all the little problems that inevitably arise on the wedding day. When our table cloths arrived dirty, Carissa quickly contacted the rentals company and had replacements delivered in time for the reception. She was always professional and it was clear that she loves what she does. Carissa was indispensable on the day of and I would highly recommend her!

Carissa was a godsend. Seriously, she’s a superhero. She is everything you could want in a wedding planner: super detailed, organized, prepared, thorough, experienced, supportive, ...
and responsive.
I thought I had a good handle on wedding planning, but in our very first meeting, Carissa came up with dozens of ideas and logistical details that I hadn’t even thought of. She worked with 8 different vendors, planned our entire timeline/schedule and all the logistics, and coordinated all the moving pieces flawlessly. When we had some unexpected venue changes 48 hours (!) before the wedding, she immediately jumped into action and made sure everything was adjusted accordingly.
One of the things that I appreciated most about Carissa was her meticulous attention to detail. Nothing was overlooked or forgotten. I had TONS of tiny requests, but no detail was too small for her. Everything we asked for, she delivered. You mention something to her once, and she makes it happen immediately — there’s never a need to follow up or check in.
She was a joy to work with. Not only is she a sweet, lovely, positive person, but she’s also extremely calm, diplomatic, and thoughtful. Because she has so much experience, we felt comfortable turning to her with any questions, and we trusted her guidance 100%.
Thanks to Carissa, we were able to completely relax and enjoy our wedding day because we knew we were in good hands! It was truly the best day of our lives, and we never could have done this without her help. I still have friends and family telling me that this was one of the best, most beautiful weddings they’ve ever been to, and it’s all thanks to Carissa. I can’t thank her enough!

We booked Carissa for our Memorial Day wedding and I honestly don't know what we would have done without her!
Carissa went above and beyond and was there to deal with all the dram...
a and details and I was able to relax on the day and trust that she had it all under control. She was super organized in the lead up and never left anything to chance, she can also recommend vendors if you need some help. I am super specific about what I want and didn't want and Carissa catered to all my needs and really just made it all go smoothly.
So if you are looking for a wedding coordinator stop here, book Carissa! You won't be disappointed! Also as an FYI we are an lgbt couple so everyone welcome!!

I just had my wedding at 501 Union, and having Carissa and her month-of-coordination package truly made all the difference in the world to having the wedding of my dreams. I can be...
very OCD and had a very specific vision of what I wanted. I even questioned whether the month-of package was worth doing considering I'm a very DIY type person, and I promise it is the BEST money you will spend out of your entire wedding budget. Carissa completely understood my vision from Day 1, and executed it better then I could have ever imagined! She knows the industry and wedding community so well, every little detail mattered as much to her as it did to me, and she came up with so many ideas I never would have thought of. The day-of everything could not have gone smoother, I honestly don't know what I would have done without her. If you are questioning whether you need a planner I PROMISE you will be so grateful and never look back!

Used Campbell Events for Setup and Breakdown of my daughters wedding reception. We had alot of DIY decor and wanted reception decor set up in a specific way. Carissa and company ...
(especially Rose) exceeded our expectations. Our venue looked beautiful...Carissa also offers many varied packages. I was offered a "day of coordinator" and did not use. Take my advice, and stress less and hire one. Our day however worked out
without one and our venue was beautifully decorated.
I highly recommend Campbell Events .
recommend them highly.
