Cassy Rose Events

ble was her ability to listen to us (specially me) and plot out solution plans that instantly made problems and challenges seems infinitely smaller. Throughout the entire process I kept telling people I would have elope had it not been for Cassy. I absolutely loved planning our wedding with Cassy's help!

g, and how different our process was during the final month when Cassy took over, I wouldn’t just hire Cassy to be our Month of Coordinator again … I would make sure I got her ENTIRE planning services. I was blown away by Cassy, and I will always sing her praises to anyone who needs a planner. It was one of the best - if not THE best - decision we made throughout our entire process. Nothing seems to throw Cassy off of her game. From the very first meeting we had, Cassy took the weight of planning off of our shoulders, and we realized just how much we needed someone like her on our team. Cassy was a perfect blend of professional and personal: always keeping us on track during our most stressful period, but also always making us laugh with every meeting we had. She was extremely organized and detail orientated, and somehow always managed to inject new energy into us when we thought we were all out (and trust me, you will get to that point multiple times during the process!) Any changes we requested were met with a smile on her face, and any issues which arose were handled in a breeze. Our day ran so smoothly, and it was all down to Cassy’s amazing professionalism, energy, and incredibly deep knowledge of the entire industry. She was exactly who we needed, and I’m sure she is exactly who you’ll need too. Cassy - thank you for being so amazing to us - you’re not just an incredible planner, but a wonderful person as well. Terri and I feel so lucky to have found you, and we know our day wouldn’t have been the same without your guidance and experience. We are truly forever grateful :)

a seamless transition when we handed off our vendors to her for organization and planning. Her organization helped us stay on top of everything and was needed leading up to the wedding with everything else going on in our lives. As for the wedding itself, Cassy and her staff were nothing short of amazing. Everything was coordinated perfectly from early morning to the end of the night and they made sure the wedding went smoothly - from every aspect. We were able to truly enjoy the day with our friends and family with as little stress as possible. We highly recommend working with her if you have the chance! Thanks again, Cassy!

asy to get along with, and a fantastic communicator. Her impressive spreadsheets were just one of the many ways she helped us feel like we could rest assured that every aspect of our wedding - down to the teeny, tiny details that only the bride and groom would notice - was perfect. Cassy has excellent taste and helped us make decisions that captured who we are as a couple, accommodated our countless neurotic requests, and created a truly gorgeous wedding. On the day-of, my sister and I couldn't help but gush about how she made us all feel so safe and taken care of. We absolutely recommend working with CRE to plan your special day!

to plan from such a distance. We spent many a night skyping with Cassy, who really did all of the hard work of the planning, taking a lot of the stress away. When one of the vendors seemed inconsistent, she checked with another vendor to see if they were available before stressing us out with the news. It meant we didn't panic. We had a perfect wedding. Our guests have proclaimed it the best wedding they have ever been to. It's been a month since our wedding day and still our friends are talking about how beautiful the space was, how good the food was, how incredible the band was, and how much fun they had. We cannot recommend Cassy strongly enough! Stop your search for a wedding planner now and just hire her already!

k in Denmark, and their ability to be involved in the on-site planning was limited. In addition, planning a wedding at a private home, especially one situated up a winding road on a mountainside, is much more difficult than having a reception at a hotel or country club. Our friends had hosted their nephew's wedding a couple of years before, so I knew that everything - tables, chairs, port-a-potties, generator, lighting, camping tents (we set up a tent village for the wedding party and out-of-the-area guests), and more - would have to be hauled up the mountain and back down it again. And even if I had been capable of lining up the appropriate vendors and keeping tabs on them, I wanted this to be my daughter and son-in-law's wedding, not mine. The question was not whether we needed a wedding planner but who it should be. About 15 months before the date we identified some likely prospects, and my daughter and her fiance interviewed them by Skype. They immediately connected with Cassy and felt that she listened to them and understood the feeling of rustic charm that they wanted to achieve. My friend and I met with Cassy at the property to talk logistics. Cassy is warm and lovely but supremely well-organized and knows the local vendors well. She quickly conceived of the "flow" of the wedding and how to use the various parts of the property to full advantage. I gave Cassy our overall budget, and from that point on my most important jobs were to offer an opinion when asked and to write checks. Cassy held frequent Skype meetings with my daughter and son-in-law, and they made one trip to California a few months before the wedding to meet the caterer and some other vendors. Our guests are still raving about the wedding and reception, some calling it the best wedding they have ever attended. It was a perfect reflection of the bride and groom - beautiful and gracious without being ostentatious, and slightly quirky. The flowers were gorgeous, and the food, served family-style at long tables on the lawn, was delicious. Our only complaint was that the fog decided to roll in around dinnertime, catching even the locals by surprise. But the band kept everyone warm by serving up one danceable song after the next! Especially important to me was that Cassy handled the inevitable hiccups with aplomb and managed to keep us all organized and on task as we chipped in to help get the property ready. The biggest potential disaster was that the tent rental company started getting cold feet about 30 days before the wedding. This could have been quite a problem, as we had people coming from 3 continents who were planning on staying in the tents, and all local hotels were fully booked. Cassy quickly reached out to another vendor. When she notified us that there might be a problem she had already identified the solution, and we didn't experience the panic that would have set in when we realized we had nowhere for our guests to stay. I would recommend Cassy in a heartbeat to anyone planning a wedding. It would be hard for any wedding to be more complicated than the one we put on, and her sure hand at the helm kept it within budget and made it fun for everyone, including the parents of the bride.

met. She sent us tons of vendor recommendations throughout the planning process, always giving us options at different price points, so we could choose when to allocate more or less from our budget. We worked directly with Cassy - she was always willing to set up an in-person meeting or a call and work around our busy schedules. Because she was on maternity leave for our actual wedding date, she made sure we had a smooth transition to working with another planner (whom she recommended and coordinated with) and everything went flawlessly on the day of. We would highly recommend Cassy to anyone who is looking for a fun, down to earth, and super organized planner!

execution on the day of. I am sure every person planning an event desires to work with a certain type of person or personality. I knew I needed someone who would allow me a voice in creating our perfect wedding weekend, but also knowing when to be a bit assertive or give me some pushback. All in a very intentional way for us to communicate and so she could really get a full picture of what Ryan and I envisioned for our wedding. Again, I think each person personalities in planning could be different, and I strongly feel that Cassy adapts her style to each client. Her incredibly organized yet flexible nature would allow her the ability to thrive with any client's personality. She is very intuitive and likely gets a read of her clients from their initial conversations. The wedding was absolutely fantastic. It was a "destination" wedding for us since we live in New York and the wedding was in Napa. I knew I had to have someone on the ground for more than just the day of coordination. Cassy heard our vision for the weekend and came back with excellent stylistic recommendations, decor plans, vendors she thought we would like, etc. She was very open to any changing, feedback, criticism, etc. because she genuinely wanted to make sure she was "hearing" what we wanted. I truly think she cared about that and therefore, there was never any "ego" brought into our conversations or those she had with venders, which I would imagine often comes into play when planning some of these events. On the day of, of course there are some things that will occur that weren't planned, and some that won't occur as according to plan. Just be ready for that, as a piece of general advice, it's inevitable. But being flexible in this process will make your experience with wedding planning one that is enjoyable and memorable rather than one of experiences you hear from some people who were on the verge of calling the whole thing off :). But, knowing that things could get a little funky, I felt 100% confident knowing that Cassy would handle things beautifully, tactfully and seemingly stresslessly if things went awry. If you like organization, she is the best. If you like personality, great! If you want to enjoy the person you are working with throughout this process, she is the way to go! Also, what is notable is how other people in the industry treat her and talk about her. She commanded herself with confidence, intelligence and kindness in every situation dealing with other venders. I genuinely appreciated that and I know they did as well - they told me. Happy planning and know that it will be happier with Cassy!

n at the same time. She kept us on track on what needs to get done leading to the wedding day and offered support as needed. She has a wealth of knowledge and vendor resources. We used all the vendors that she recommended to us and we are so pleased that we did. All of them offered the same amazing service and attention to detail as she did. She's easy to get a hold of no matter what. She even responded to our email while on vacation which was a nice surprise. She offered great ideas and alternative options as well. Our wedding day was perfect! Cassy anticipated any issues that might arise and discussed it with us to have plans in place. She handled all the vendor communications on the day of our wedding which is crucial! She went above and beyond the call of duty and even made sure all the wedding/reception stuff was packed into our designated friends and family's car. My husband and I are so grateful for all of Cassy's work. She is hands down the best coordinator in town and our favorite vendor.

man stamina to run all over our wedding property for hours on end kept our two type A, overly organized and particular minds at ease all weekend long. Whatever we left in her hands was executed to perfection. Whatever we needed throughout the day magically appeared moments later. In my opinion, there are a lot of wedding planners that approach the weddings from a decorators perspective and can help you make your event beautiful and Cassy can do that all day long but, what really sets Cassy apart is her background in logistics and organization from her previous career. She ran our event like a precision exercise in logistics or in other words a tightly choreographed dance. Each moment cued the next and preparations for other moments coming up. I would recommend Cassy to anyone that wants to not have a worry in the world on their wedding day.

rvation!

wedding. We hired Cassy based on reviews on the Knot and it was the best decision we made for the wedding. In addition to being completely organized, reliable, and timely, Cassy is a kind and genuine soul who on many occasions went beyond the role of planner to close confidante to make sure that we got everything we wanted, and most importantly within the budget, for our wedding. To find someone like this to plan your wedding is a once in a lifetime opportunity. She will make you laugh, smile, and with her planning skills, eventually cry your eyes out on your wedding day. If there were any hitches on the wedding day, we were never aware...the guests are STILL talking about all of the details of the wedding. We love you Cassy! Thanks for an absolutely amazing, romantic, perfect day!

emeanor. She was incredibly responsive through email and phone conversations. With her amazing intuition, Cassy always seemed to sense when I needed help; she offered ideas and advice when needed and gave me space to talk out my own vision and concerns. I can't say enough good things about Cassy and how she matched her services to meet all of our wedding planning needs. Cassy always exuded a sense of know-how and expertise that made me confident that all of our wedding plans would come to fruition. She and her two assistants made sure that all the wedding events ran smoothly and that all the guests had a great time--our guests couldn't stop raving about all the special touches and details and the way all the events seemed to flow so seamlessly. Cassy was a great pleasure to work with and I highly recommend her services!

dditional worries leading up to, and on the day of, our wedding. From our first meeting to the day of our wedding, Cassy was always available to us. She was responsive, encouraging, and incredibly helpful. Cassy coordinated all our vendors, made sure everyone was paid and tipped, and set up all our decor the day of the wedding. She also ran our ceremony rehearsal, which ran smoothly under her guidance. Our wedding would not have been the same without Cassy, and her wonderful assistant, Jessica. We got to enjoy every moment of our wedding, from the first look to the last dance. I felt so relaxed and secure knowing Cassy was there to make sure everything went as planned. If you are considering having a coordinator for your big day, I highly recommend Cassy Rose Events. She is friendly, hard working, extremely professional, and a great resource. If you're not considering having a coordinator, please, consider it; I promise, it's absolutely worth it.

ything without making us feel stressed or overwhelmed. From her weekly "homework assignments" and email recaps of our calls- it kept us feeling calm and excited throughout the whole process. Cassy was exceptional coordinating with all the vendors and taking charge of managing them the day off. I never felt stressed for time or rushed as she kept everything running smoothly yet the day felt like it moved along so naturally. From the beginning, Cassy listened to what was important to us and when we couldn't decide on something, she graciously offered her suggestions and they were perfect for our style and budget. I can't say enough amazing things about her- she made my dream wedding come to life and I would use her again and again! Hands down the best decision we made working with her!

c, reassuring, and very available by phone or email. Every meeting we had with her was timely, organized, and useful. She asks the questions you haven't thought about yet, listens to your ideas, and works hard to get a sense of who you and your partner are. Our wedding itself went perfectly, even with multiple locations and busing our guests all over the city. Without Cassy's help, there's no way things would have gone so smoothly! On top of her being a super capable and experienced coordinator, she's also just a really sweet and fun person-- so easy to work with and a pleasure to be around. Early on in the planning process, my husband was doubtful that we needed a coordinator at all, but he was completely sold after our meetings with Cassy. My family was very appreciative of her, too. I should also mention that Cassy was available and incredibly helpful by email for many months prior to the wedding, something I really appreciated. She sent vendor suggestions when we needed them and helped us figure out tricky logistical issues as we planned. Cassy was worth every penny, and we highly recommend her! Seriously, you won't regret it.

some anxiety as we began finding vendors and realized I needed help. I definitely had a vision for our wedding and felt comfortable securing vendors, but I didn't want to have vendor/other issues come up day of and not be able to enjoy my once-in-a-lifetime event. Because I had a decent amount of experience planning events for work, I was so happy to find that Cassy had different levels of support and ended up hiring CRE for week of coordination. And it was SO worth it!! Cassy really goes above and beyond to know you, your partner and your expectations and is able to pair that information with the confidence, organization and charm to execute your vision! She is dedicated to excellence - she even knew the names of our family members before our rehearsal! She was great with them and they were giving me her compliments days later -- not sure how many wedding planners have that effect! I felt so comfortable and care-free on my wedding day (I know I was surprised too!) and that wouldn't have been possible without knowing Cassy was on it and had everything under control. She played a very crucial and special part in our wedding! I feel so fortunate to have had her recommended to me! She really is the best.

have the time to deal with. Cassy was amazing! She was in contact with all of the different vendors ensuring everything was what we planned. She took care of everything. There are always hiccups the day of the wedding. For example, I had a few missing center pieces and I knew nothing about it because she quickly solved the problem. I didn't have to worry about my nephews being in the right place to walk down the aisle. It was so reassuring to know that if there were any questions or problems she would take care of it and let me enjoy the day. I can't express how valuable she was to me. She ran the show for the entire weekend!

lawlessly. She was very open to what we wanted, adding welcome suggestions when we were stuck. We felt very lucky to work with Cassy as she was starting her business, her rates were within our budget and the service we received was priceless. I absolutely recommend Cassy Rose Events to Bay Area brides who are looking for a down to earth, get-stuff-done coordinator!

r approach to weddings was open-minded, creative, and knowledgeable. She rolled with any challenge we threw at her- from big families, to unusual traditions, to complicated schedules. I loved that she brought a wealth of knowledge about weddings to our conversations, but yet, she was open minded and dedicated to my vision. Though she was booked as my "day-of" coordinator, she really acted as much more than that, helping with generating ideas, planning, and creating the overall vision. She was not only helpful to me, but also to my friends and family. They all raved about her after the wedding, which I think is special. It is not every day that your wedding planner takes the time to get to know and help your family and friends! Of all my wedding vendors, Cassy is the one I've recommended to all my friends- and a friend just booked her for her upcoming wedding!

out. That said, I had heard horror stories and knew that I didn't want to be stressing on my wedding day. Originally, I booked Cassy for simply day-of services, but after our initial consultation, I knew that I'd want her expertise in a few more areas. She found so many little glitches here or there in vendor contracts before I signed off and has these CRAZY organized systems for tracking budget (I'm pretty sure that was husbands favorite part!!). I was pretty anal about my creative vision, so I didn't give her much of an opportunity to get too involved in the creative process, but I'm sure she would excel there too. All in all, I'd say that she is well worth the money and I'd highly recommend her to friends!
