We cannot say enough about how amazing Dara and her team were throughout our entire 1.5 year engagement and our our big day in Asbury Park, NJ. From our kick off call through the day of, Dara was there to help us every step of the way including answering many many questions, having regular check-ins with us, making sure we didn't forget any detail and making our vision come to life. We told Dara we were inspired by a mix of funky and classic Jersey Shore vibes, bright colors and making sure everyone had a great time and she delivered our vision 1000%. Thanks to the Castiglione Team, we could enjoy our big day and focus on getting married because we knew they had everything handled. 10/10 would recommend!
Dara and her team are absolutely PHENOMENAL! They made our wedding dreams come true and more. We could not have been happier with the way that the reception design turned out and the way the day went without a hitch (at least if there was a problem, I never knew about it!)
My bridal attendant, Charlene, went above and beyond to make sure that I was taken care of in every possible way from the moment she arrived until the moment she left. It was so incredible how hard Dara and her entire team worked to make sure that our wedding was perfect! Our family and friends frequently use the word “magical” to describe our day, and I totally agree with them.
I honestly do not know where to start in sharing my experience with Dara and her team, so I'll start at the beginning. We decided to work with CE because although we got married at The Asbury Hotel in Asbury Park, we live in California and it seemed necessary to have a planner given the distance. Little did we know that it would be the single best decision that we made in regards to wedding planning.
In the year and half that we worked together, they became so much more than wedding planners. They brought all of my visions to life, helped me make really hard decisions in regards to COVID, offered advice on situations that I didn't know how to handle, and were so excited and happy for us every step of the way. They also made it super easy to communicate on things even though I was across the country. Fast forward to the day of the wedding and everything was absolutely flawless. Cass ensured that every detail was executed to perfection and was honestly just an absolute pleasure to be around. She has the best energy and I'm so grateful that she was there with us on our day. I truly don't think the day would have been the same without Castiglione Events and wish I could give them ten stars again and again. So much love to Dara, Cass and the rest of the team! xo
We had our wedding at the Asbury Hotel on the busiest weekend of the year in AP, the Friday of the SEA.HEAR.NOW. music festival. We also were one of the first weddings to decide to postpone due to covid and CE made this such a smooth process for us. Even though we only hired them for the 6 weeks out and day of experience, Dara and Cassie always made sure we were doing alright and answered any questions we had. If you don't know anything about the Asbury Hotel, it's an untraditional space and you have to bring in all your vendors. It's awesome because you can create it into your wedding vision so easily with how blank of a slate it is. But, this also makes it a lot more work since you have so many vendors working with you to make your big day perfect. That's why it's KEY to hire a wedding planner. Dara and Cassie are the coolest ones out there and I can't thank them enough for making our wedding the most epic night of our lives. They made it so stress free and helped us every step of the way. Forever grateful for their guidance and love during such a crazy time in our lives! Couldn't have pulled off a 200+ person wedding during covid without them.
Dara’s team is the best team out there!
Dara made my dream wedding come true!
During this crazy year she managed to plan my wedding from thousands of miles away!
Her attention to detail is miraculous! Her team was there for me and helped with things I honestly didn’t even know I needed!
As a perfectionist I can honestly say I got perfect service and am so very happy with my choice of having her plan my wedding!
I will definitely use their service again and I recommend anyone with any slight of doubt or a need to be in control and know any and every last detail to 100% use them!!!
I can’t thank them enough! I honestly came to LOVE THEM!
If you want the most beautiful wedding use them!!! Trust me ! You will not regret it!
