Cathy's Elegant Events, LLC

methodical, and was our partner and advocate every step of the way. Cathy brings expert knowledge and special thoughtfulness to planning. She knew the best vendors in the Hudson Valley to work with to execute our vision of a lush and vibrant summer wedding with our guests’ experience at the forefront. She advised us through decisions large and small, listening to our ideas, spending countless hours working through the details with us, making expert recommendations. Cathy built and managed thoughtful, detailed timelines for the planning process and our wedding day. We came to rely on her as our trusted advisor, and felt assured that she cared as much about the finer details as we did. In the end, all our hard work together paid off. We had an absolute blast on our wedding day, and knowing Cathy was in charge played a key role in our enjoyment. Moments before the ceremony began, Cathy discovered that Christine’s veil had been forgotten, and Cathy took off running to recover it. Another planner might have overlooked a detail like this, but Cathy took notice and immediate action to ensure our wedding went according to plan. Heavy rain was on the forecast for our wedding day. Cathy diligently monitored the weather conditions during the weeks prior, and ensured our rain plan was in place the week of. The morning of the wedding, the weather appeared to have stabilized enough for us to proceed with our original ceremony plan. Nevertheless, Cathy remained prepared and had golf umbrellas at the ready for us. We absolutely loved working with Cathy and would hire her again in a heartbeat. Along the way, vendors who had worked with Cathy in the past spoke highly of her work and genuinely seemed relieved (on all our behalves) that we had chosen her as our partner in bringing our dream wedding into reality. So are we! We recommend Cathy’s planning services highly and without hesitation.

l received without any judgment or pushing us to go in either direction. I felt very taken care of, heard and she followed through on every part of the planning we needed. Cathy's organization was something I have not seen before- extremely reliable and always following through on tasks not only on her end but made sure we did our job as well. I felt like she really cared about our happiness for the wedding weekend and not that it was just a job to her. I was very impressed and would hire her for anything in the future.

ediately worked with us to create a vision board that made sure we all were talking a common language and had a singular vision. From there, biweekly meetings made sure we were making the progress we needed. Even better, between those meetings, Cathy was always available (both quickly over text and for in-the-weed phone calls). No detail is missed, because Cathy won’t let it be missed; she creates a masterfully organized Google Drive to make sure we are all working with the same documents and that nothing gets lost. We cannot emphasize enough how much easier life is with Cathy! I wish we could hire her to just run our lives forever. If all the planning, contracts, vendor work, and tough love wasn’t enough, Cathy took it to the next level on our wedding day. In the midst of a torrential downpour, Cathy dug irrigation trenches to prevent our ceremony tent from flooding and got a friend to bring a tractor to help move a tree that was down and blocking the driveway to our venue. Then, because my wedding dress wasn’t bustled high enough, Cathy did emergency stitch work, while I ate dinner to make sure I could cut up the dance floor. Those are no hyperboles; Cathy literally did hard manual labor and on the spot seamstress work to assure we had the perfect day. And the best part, we had no idea either of those near catastrophic events had occurred. Nope, Cathy made our wedding day seem effortless and perfect, when without her it would have been the opposite of both. In summary, Cathy has the organizational infrastructure to make your wedding planning seamless, a deep rolodex of vendors to make sure you have the right ones on your day and has seen it all. If you choose Cathy to work with you on your wedding day, you will end up wondering how you could have done it any other way.

bride and groom and parents of the bride enjoyed every minute.

me mail items directly to her to bring to the wedding so I didn't have to worry about setting things up myself. She provided a level of organization I didn't know I needed, and the whole day ran completely smoothly. She was a lifesaver! Highly recommend!!!

t from Upstate New York to New York City, and eventually Tulum, Mexico where the wedding was finally celebrated. Cathy is a superhero and she truly goes above and beyond for her clients. Cathy has a waiting list of clients, but made us feel like we were her only priority which was such a nice feeling. Our special day was better than we could ever have imagined, thanks to Cathy. She is always five steps ahead, extremely organized and amazing under pressure. It didn't take long for Cathy to figure out our vision and priorities, which is why Cathy is so good at what she does. I could use a daily dose of Cathy to keep my life in order. We miss her.

icated things get during the planning or on the day of your event, and who will do it with grace and professionalism, you should hire Cathy. If you want to leave all of that up to chance, hire someone else, but I promise you will regret it. My husband and I were in no position to take on the complexity of our vision on a 9 month timeline and Cathy was honest with us at every turn about what it would take to get things done. On the day of my wedding when a forecasted squall threatened the evacuation of our tent, Cathy calmly came to find me during hair and makeup, helped me appreciate the options, and then personally moved heaven and earth to make an alternative cocktail hour plan happen as the storm passed. Cathy is a hard-working, honest, experienced planner. She knows every vendor in the Hudson Valley. She chases people down and will not rest until there's an answer (e.g. given a very bad peach harvest this year, how will I source 250 peaches to achieve my client's vision?) When you’re writing check after check for your wedding and the thought crosses your mind — “can I even trust this person?” Um, yes, I would trust Cathy with most anything. She is not the wedding planner you see on TV or that your friends lament “didn’t even do anything”. Oh, no. Cathy will keep you on track week by week, organized in GoogleDrive, and even on top of things she’s not contractually responsible for (e.g. have you selected accessories yet? How is honeymoon planning going?), and then, when cocktail hour is going swimmingly and the first rain drops start to fall, she will just APPEAR with an umbrella over your head like she is ACTUALLY MARY POPPINS. She excels at the knowledge work, the hard work (turns out this can be a very physical job!) and is very service-oriented with families and guests. I was perhaps the happiest I have ever been on my wedding day and I know that having a trusted, experienced planner like Cathy (and her team!) — who genuinely cared about us, our families, and our friends — gave me the freedom to enjoy my day to the maximum. There is no greater gift to give yourself.

willing to go above and beyond. Cathy is the absolute best and I could not recommend her more highly!

gle biggest reason our wedding was an epic, heartfelt day to remember for us and our families and guests. Throughout the planning process and the wedding day, Cathy and her team put us and our needs first and did everything they could to make the day special for us. Cathy was super organized and kept us on track with her “To do” list and “Agenda & Checklist” docs, which she modified based on feedback we gave during the planning process. Cathy took on virtually all of the vendor research, contracting, and payment tracking, which made our lives a lot easier. She also worked around our schedules when scheduling our check-in calls and calls with vendors. During the weekend of the wedding, Cathy’s heroics made a huge impact. When our rehearsal dinner venue had issues with parking, Cathy drove over to speak with the venue management and sort it out, even though she was not originally planning to be at the rehearsal dinner! On our wedding day, Cathy and her team worked tirelessly and discreetly to solve issues that came up with our venue and shuttle vendor. We didn’t notice these issues at all and that is a big testament to Cathy and her team’s professionalism and poise under pressure. Last but not least, Cathy was very kind, laid back, and brought a levity and humor to the wedding planning process that really cut down on the stress of it all. We feel like we became friends with Cathy and we’d highly recommend her to plan your wedding!

design details we customized for the day. The number of compliments we received about our wedding is one for the record books, I'm sure, but the compliments went far beyond what you might expect. Our vendors, bridal party, and even fickle doggo noted they LOVED working with this team. Working with Cathy, Kristin, and the rest of the team was truly incredible. 12/10 would recommend.

h Design (tent decor, linen choices, etc). She’s incredibly patient & made a detailed PowerPoint to help me create a vision & bring it to life. The day of the wedding, we were thrilled with how everything turned out! Cathy kept us organized and on track in the months leading up to the wedding - even when we were not putting wedding planning as a priority because life can be busy with work & travel & so many other things. So having Cathy to guide us & confirm all details with our vendors was so helpful so we never missed a beat or fell behind on a deadline. The wedding week- Cathy thought of EVERYTHING. She’s accessible at any moment to help & handle last minute changes, answering any random questions or issues that might come up. She ran an organized rehearsal so my family & bridal party all felt prepared for the big day. And on the wedding day - she kept us on time and running perfectly smoothly. But beyond that, she truly assisted with every last detail. From running out to get me & my bridesmaids solemates for walking in our heels in the grass, to getting water bottles for guests in case it was too hot during our outdoor ceremony, to keeping my groom, bridal party and me cool with ice packs & waters while we were walking around during pictures - I never would have thought of these details, but they were crucial to making it a perfect day. All of my friends & family were thrilled with Cathy’s service. There are nerves & stress on such a big day, but having Cathy to support & lead us was so comforting. We were truly able to just have fun & enjoy the day, and not worry about anything! One of my bridesmaids said, “Cathy is wedding planning goals!” We could not be more grateful or happier with how everything turned out. My advice to any bride would be to hire Cathy!

oking forward to our planning calls! Cathy helped us execute our vision to a tee and the vendors she recommended were on point and worked so well together under Cathy's guidance. She is flexible and accommodating, and really wants the couples she works with to have the time of their lives. The wedding went off without ANY complications (of course, like I said, Cathy is the best) and many of our guests commented on it being one of the most fun weddings they've ever been to. Use Cathy to plan your wedding, seriously, you'll be so happy you did. By the end of this process I really feel like we've become friends with Cathy - I was even told she cried as we walked down the aisle :) "Your wedding planner [Cathy] was amazing, I don't know how she does it! It's like she was in 15 places at once." - My mom

fore (the Roundhouse). From our first phone meeting back in 2019 we could tell she was diligent, professional, meticulous and thorough. She left no detail unexplored and had a fantastic system to keep things on track (which as a type A person, I appreciated so so much). Especially through the madness of re-scheduling (three times!) during COVID, Cathy was there for us and helped us navigate each and every hurdle we encountered taking in account our values regarding masks, vaccines, size, etc. She answered my calls at all hours - even when we went from postponing our wedding to 2022 but then deciding to move it back to 2021 -- it seemed impossible but she made it work! We appreciated that she helped us structure a budget that worked for us and never pressured us to spend more money than we felt comfortable. She found a perfect balance between cost and quality and helped us make many decisions that resulted in that absolute perfect wedding. Overall, she was the ideal wedding planner!

ute changes) and it involved a three-mile night hike through the woods. Oh yeah, and my husband and I became parents during the planning process, so we were busy and exhausted and probably insanely hard to pin down, despite our best efforts. Cathy rolled with all of it, letting us know when key decisions had to be made and when things could wait. She was patient, upbeat and a great sounding board. It's her style to help her clients arrive at a vision rather than coming with one herself -- which means she's very game to talk things through and weigh in with considered opinions. She's extremely hard-working and detail-oriented and will map out your wedding day in 15-minute increments (literally!) to ensure that all of the moving pieces fall in place. It was our wedding, our family, our friends -- but I felt like she was just as invested in pulling it all off as we were.

id of Honor. It felt like every time I called my friend and asked, how could I help?, she would forward a simple decision that had to be made with clear options laid out by Cathy. It made the wedding more about the excitement of sharing a day together rather than the harried rush of planning of wedding near New York City. On the day of, Cathy made sure everyone knew exactly what needed to be happening. I felt like I was only made aware of really really really important things, and everything behind the scenes went very smoothly. My friends were concerned about spending the money for Cathy, but by the end of the wedding, they said they were the best spent pennies in the entire wedding budget. I can't recommend her highly enough.

ition had it not been for her, her hard work, dedication, meticulousness, patience, intuition, vast knowledge of just about everything, and of course, her big heart.  Prior to Cathy, our wedding planning process had endured some bumps and misfortunes that left us wondering how we were ever going to make our big day come to life. In came Cathy to single-handedly save the day. From day one she was an absolute pleasure to work with. No stone was left unturned with Cathy -- from her creative ideas to her practical suggestions, she had all bases thoroughly covered. Her attention to detail is truly one-of-a-kind, as we could always expect her to come to each planning call with extreme preparedness and the genuine desire to make our wedding day as special and memorable as possible for us. After having to cancel at our planned venue due to COVID, she helped us put together a beautiful backyard wedding of our dreams in just three mere months, which obviously was no easy feat. Whenever any issues arose, Cathy went far, FAR above and beyond to resolve them and put our minds at ease.  If I am being honest, before Cathy, I was feeling overwhelmed, depleted and defeated about the whole wedding and was loathing the entire planning process because it was excruciatingly stressful. With Cathy's support, help and guidance I was able to actually enjoy the very special time that is wedding planning.  Ultimately, our wedding was absolutely perfect and we have Cathy to thank for that. We are eternally grateful for her and HIGHLY recommend her.

re so grateful that we did. We found ourselves saying, “Thank goodness for Cathy,” at least once a week. Cathy was incredibly organized and kept us on track throughout the planning process with precise, yet easy to use checklists. She brought things to our attention that we never would have even considered. Whenever we had a question, she answered us immediately. She was able to help us solve any problem that came our way. It is clear that she is incredibly dedicated to her clients, and her talent for wedding planning and coordinating is beyond comparison. We could never have pulled off our dream wedding without her!!

ll the myriad of crazy details that continued to pop up! The weekend of the wedding, she was basically in a million places at once, taking care of every detail you might imagine! She was fabulous, and we both highly recommend her!

urred and they do occur and made the day so enjoyable and stress free. I can't imagine the day without her. I thank you for your kind and friendly manner and would recommend Cathy's services to anyone looking for a stress free event.

hone calls with the bride and groom as well as answering any questions that the mother of the groom and I may have had Cathy was always available and helpful. She answered each and every email and phone call immediately and made the day go off without a hitch!!! She is truly amazing at her job because she truly does care about each person!!! I can’t say enough about her and her staff, they went above and beyond and it was truly appreciated!

, she was our friend! The way she structured planning made it feel like a lot got done at exactly the right times, so we were never really overwhelmed. We had phone calls with her every two weeks to go over what we needed to do before our next call and she really kept us on track. Even to the point where she would make me calendar events to pay vendors on time. When she told me we were having our LAST call 6 weeks before the wedding, I actually got a bit sad because they had really become a part of our process. Above and beyond is really the best phrase to describe Cathy. At one point during the actual wedding, a few of my bustles were coming undone and one string ripped off (too much dancing) and Cathy had the awesome idea to Zip tie them AND she made the ziptie invisible! The next day, I was walking to our farewell brunch and kept thinking....what went wrong?? And I couldn't really think of ANYTHING. We were told by several friends to expect 5% to go wrong and to not focus on it and instead to focus on the 95% that went right. Legitimately, every single thing went right. Best night ever and we hope to stay in touch with Cathy for many years to come!

ise and attention to detail allowed everyone (including the bride and groom) to enjoy the day. It was a perfect wedding.

we wanted to be able to enjoy our day/ weekend and not worry about communicating with all of vendors. Cathy made sure everything went smoothly and stepped in in more ways than I expected, including meeting with us many times over our planning process to touch base and give us advice for ANY questions we had. The day of she made sure we had everything we could possibly need including hot tools to touch up our hair that was flattened due to the fog, bustled my dress, and repaired my dress not once, but twice, when a button the buttons on my dress wouldn’t stay closed and my dress got stepped on and the bustle ripped! We can’t thank her enough for being the support we needed to make our day so special. Definitely recommend!

aisle. As many may have experienced (although I hope none ever have to) the wedding day does not always go as planned. For us, weather was an issue, buses were delayed, itineraries had to be modified; all of which Cathy did without batting an eye. Both my husband and I didn’t feel the slightest bit of stress going on all around us all because of Cathy. She helped my husband & myself every step of the way, wayyyyy before our “big day”. Cathy kept us sane and unruly groomsman in line. She may appear tiny, but she is fierce. Cathy is incredible at her job, painstakingly mindful to every minuscule detail, and an extremely knowledgeable resource. We would honestly trust Cathy with our lives! Again, we can’t stress enough that if we did not have Cathy, we wouldn’t be Mr. & Mrs. today. Her professionalism is unmatched and we could not thank her enough. She made our day the amazingly perfect day that it was! Thank you, thank you, thank you!! <3 Heath & Hope Walden

her warm and yet professional approach to helping us navigate the many choices involved in planning a personal, individual wedding. She is patient and very thorough and the result was virtually no glitches, no surprises and no need to answer questions as they arose during the entire day of the wedding. Cathy had anticipated everything! She knew the couple's desires and outlook that helped her take appropriate action as the day unfolded. There are so many things to take care of: the vendors, the guests, the bride and groom, their parents and siblings, the bridal party, etc. Cathy was relaxed and in charge. Nothing fazed her. Not the last minute weather decisions, late arrivals, lost guests, and other logistical challenges that inevitably arise. We had close to 200 people, an outdoor ceremony with threatening weather all week, a buffet dinner, and everything went smoothly and met the hopes and dreams of the bride and groom. As a party planner myself for about 17 years, I can honestly say that I thought Cathy is better than I at this! She is absolutely fantastic at her difficult job, which is to help people realize their dreams. I recommend her to anyone who is lucky enough to find her available to help them plan a most important event in their lives.

day to be like, and she perfectly executed it down to every last detail. We wanted a very relaxed, but detailed bohemian aesthetic. She understood our vision immediately, even though I'm sure every wedding and couple that she works with is entirely different. We went into the entire process thinking that if we had the design aspects down and knew the big vendor choices, we had the hard stuff done with. But there are so many logistical aspects to wedding planning that few couples ever understand the true scope of beforehand, and Cathy made our lives ten thousand times easier by taking on the majority of them herself and/or seamlessly guiding us through them. When it comes to the actual day of the wedding, there is no one better. She coordinated everything with all the vendors, from caterers to musicians to shuttle drivers to florists, etc. We had our wedding in upstate NY, but the majority of our vendors were from NYC. It didn't matter. She pulled off the set-up and timing of the motions of the entire day without one single hiccup. Best of all, she is such a sweet and enjoyable person to not only speak to and be with for the many months leading up to your wedding, but she is just such a calming and pleasant energy to be around the day of the wedding when emotions are running high. We cannot thank Cathy enough for a perfect wedding, and the memories we'll have for a lifetime to come.

her help and guidance. She not only provided assistance whenever we needed, was always available when we needed it but she went beyond our expectations for what a wedding planner does and literally guided us all down the aisle! We recommend her highly and you are a lucky bride and bride's family to have Cathy as your guide on this great wedding adventure!!

e, easy to work with and fantastic with my high maintenance parents. We used her services at Pond Lily-- she also helped with rentals, transportation, and other areas where we would be lost and confused without her guidance. She was indispensable in making our big day perfect- and we cannot rave about her or thank her enough.

tive completely unthinkable. There are not enough positive adjectives to describe how fantastic she is, both personally and professionally. Cathy and her staff were incredibly helpful and informative throughout the entire process, and were always able to respond to our many, many questions quickly and correctly. We met Cathy through The Farm at Pond Lily, but would unreservedly recommend her for any event of any size. Her wealth of knowledge about wedding planning is unparalleled, and she worked seamlessly with every vendor we used. Her reputation preceded her with everyone we contacted, all of whom had nothing but good things to say about her. Although the planning process can be overwhelming, Cathy remained helpful, comforting, and down-to-earth about everything. Her organizational prowess is awe-inspiring. Simply put, she gets shit done. Why are you still reading this? Go hire Cathy now.

the task of planning a wedding back in NY. With family from the East Coast, the Midwest Canada and guests invited from the UK to Dubai…we knew it was going to be an undertaking! I wanted to find a trustworthy, organized and detail oriented planner to help me through the process - and Cathy fit the bill and then some! From the very beginning she kept us on track: creating a consistent call schedule, to do lists, inspiration boards, etc...she encouraged us the make our day special and unique and armed us with the tools we needed to do so. We were married outside and had the reception in a tented pavilion – the pavilion was essentially a blank slate and we needed to create the desired rustic/romantic aesthetic ourselves. Cathy was able to introduce us to amazing vendors and helped us to do just that. On the day of the wedding, when nerves were running high, Cathy was such a calming influence. She always was completely in control and allowed me to simply sit back and take in / enjoy the day. She kept the groomsman in check, made sure the whole bridal party was organized, the family had everything they needed – and everything went off without a hitch. She even planned out how to get my 2 year old flower girl down the aisle! Cathy and her team went over and above what we could have ever expected. My fiancé and I also really enjoyed getting to know Cathy as well – we enjoyed our weekly calls and appreciated that she understood our personalities and worked so well with us. (I.e. I am a very indecisive person sometimes and she helped me find my vision). As the bride, she was always there for me and supported me through everything from dress choices to invitation stresses – and what I valued most was her directness and honesty. She always used her past experiences and insight to help me make the best decisions for our day. I absolutely loved every moment of our wedding day – it was perfect. It would never have been the same without Cathy and her team and I can’t thank her enough for her commitment to making our ideal wedding day come to life.

inside and out. I was never nervous that something would slip through the cracks because I knew Cathy would catch it. Similarly, Cathy was patient with and appreciative of my attention to detail and worked with me to make sure I had the wedding of my dreams. When our DJ did not meet our expectations the day of (played the wrong song for the processional, called me by the wrong name) Cathy followed up and was able to get our money back by the time we woke up the next day. She is a calm, professional and knowledgeable advocate and I cannot recommend her services highly enough.

unicate with and displayed the utmost professional attitude and behavior at all times. Sadly, Cathy was not available for day of coordination for my wedding but her associate Angie filled her space. Angie was also just as organized as Cathy and had a smile on her face from the minute I met her. She totally understood my vision for the day and helped to make my day extra special. Her sweet and friendly disposition was noticeable even to the guests. She took care of everything for me. I needed superglue...she magically appeared with three tubes!! She even video'ed my first dance with my husband! How sweet is that?! I would have been lost on my wedding day without her. I can not thank Angie and Cathy enough for all their help and support. They are truly an incredible duo. I would highly recommend hiring Cathy's Elegant Events for wedding planning!

inging in everything) and working with us on every aspect from Friday nights dinner to the wedding reception itself. Her organization made everything possible and she shows her expertise while also letting her clients achieve their own visions. Cathy will go above and beyond to make sure her clients feel comfortable and take the stress away from the big day. We highly recommend her for all types of weddings and events!

nted without being obtrusive. Throughout the process, my wife and I counted on her to sweat the small stuff so we didn't have to. Cathy's level of organization, event planning knowledge and positive attitude helped significantly mitigate the stress and anxiety that can be inherent to wedding planning. She truly helped us focus on what we felt were the "important" aspects of our wedding; the ceremony and having FUN. I can unequivocally recommend Cathy and her team.

as pain free as possible. She is warm, compassionate, open minded and will listen to your wants/needs as well as make her own suggestions along the way. She has great connections in the Hudson Valley and NYC area and was able to recommend terrific vendors that made our wedding a huge success. Our actual wedding day turned out better than we ever could have imagined and we have Cathy to thank for that. Not only did we leave with memories that will last a lifetime but also a new friendship as well!

ordinated and no one knew there was a change.

the beginning of our planning process, she instantly eased all of our anxiety. She is organized, smart, flexible, friendly, knows the best vendors and the best prices, and most importantly- always available when you need her. I can honestly say that we would not have been able to do it with out her. When there were bumps in the road and stresses from vendors- she always remained calm, cool, and collected- which is exactly the type of person you want when you're planning a wedding. Cathy and her team were professional and amazing during our actual wedding as well. There wasn't a moment that they weren't right there handling everything. Cathy and her team made sure my husband and I enjoyed every moment of our special day- and handled all of the issues our venue was having. My husband and I had no idea all of the minor glitches that were going on with our venue- and that's exactly the type of person you want as your coordinator. The day goes by so fast- and it's nice to have a great team to keep you calm and let you enjoy yourself. Cathy has not only been a complete god send- she has also become one of my friends, and I was so sad to see our work together come to an end. I highly highly recommend Cathy's Elegant Events...you need her in your life!!

not have her help I probably would not have gotten married and it is true she is so organized which I love! She makes sure you have a print out of time lines and so on so you know what you should be doing each month this way you are not doing things that do not need to be done yet. She is amazing you will not be disappointed by booking her to help you plan your wedding she really is the best. Thank you Cathy for everything!!

ork and expertise. Highly highly recommend her services!

hy, I hadn't realized how helpful it would be to have someone to help guide you regarding vendors in the area- very important!! She created meticulous, thoughtful layouts for the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception for both rain and shine, as well as the BEST day-of schedule (all of our other vendors were SUPER impressed with Cathy). Cathy worked with my husband and me to find times to chat on the phone, despite our crazy grad student schedules. On the day of the wedding, I was totally confident that Cathy knew all of the details, and I could finally let go and enjoy the day we had been planning for so long. She was the person we turned to throughout our wedding to help with issues as they arose (thanks for handing us some food and water, and for asking me if I needed help with my dress that I had ripped dancing and totally ignored... continuing to dance until you grabbed me for two minutes to sew my dress back up!!) Cathy even helped us to deliver our wedding flowers to local nursing homes the next day - now that's above and beyond!! We are very grateful to have worked with you.

little detail of our fairytale wedding come true. She was terrific during the planning process. When I wanted to try to handle projects myself, she stepped back and let me handle them, but was always there if I needed advice or help with anything. When I needed her to be more involved and hands on, I felt completely confident and comfortable letting her take things in the direction that she felt was best. She was always quick to answer emails and talk on the phone to hash out big picture items or last minute details. The week leading up to the wedding Cathy was AMAZING. We spent almost 2 hours on the phone making sure every last detail was taken care of and exactly the way I envisioned it. She ran our ceremony in the pouring rain and was always cheerful and positive, she was there for me for moral support all afternoon while I was getting ready, she helped setup the barn and ceremony beautifully and made sure every detail was in order. During the ceremony and reception, she made sure that my husband and I were taken care of the entire evening. Our day was absolutely perfect from start to finish and Cathy's expertise, guidance and help played such a huge part in the success of our wedding day. Thank you Cathy!! Tim and I are so grateful for all the hardwork and love you put into making our day great.

and I in DC and the wedding was in Rhinebeck. She was so organized from providing valuable information about vendors, to generating list of what needed to be rented for the farm venue to negotiated prices. Her attention to detail is phenomenal - nothing escapes her.. Because of her professional and support, we were able to thoroughly enjoy the wedding day without any distractions. I highly recommend working with Cathy for a wonderful wedding experience.
