Ciao Bella Events

r call and knew every question to ask! Her professionalism paired with her kindness and deep understanding of what we were going through made us feel so secure and at ease (even when a hurricane hit during our family photos!) She kept me calm not only during the planning process, but was such a grounding force on the day of. She kept all of us (including the venue and their staff) organized and on schedule. She made my family feel special and at ease as well, knowing what to do and who to talk to every step of the way. She was the fixer of the day and night and never let my husband or I worry. If there was an option for 10 stars, that's what I'd give. Could not recommend Deanna and CBE ENOUGH!!!

nd it shows in how she runs her business. Deanna helped us stay super organized, attended all of our final vendor appointments and made sure we felt confident that everything was completed before the wedding. On the day of, we worked with Ali and Michelle and they were so helpful, kind, professional and friendly! CBE is the dream team and we are so happy that we had them help us bring our wedding vision to life!

honest, smart and genuine. I can confidently say without Deanna my wedding would not have been what it was. There wasn’t a moment I felt worried as I knew she had everything covered, and was two steps ahead of me. I couldn’t recommend Ciao Bella enough. Save yourself the stress and actuallt enjoy your wedding day by going with De and her team :)

am! The email corespondance was quick and extremely helpful. She provided me with a website to track everything single detail of my wedding. She managed all of the vendors and made sure the space was set up correctly. We had a little issue with the florist and our ceremony arch, and Deanna handled it with no stress or anxiety. The entire day was perfect. I cannot recommend Caio Bella events enough!

nd was a huge help the day of the wedding. I cannot recommend Deanna at Ciao Bella Events enough!!!

ms come to life. I opted for the Coordinated Bride package where I had access to Deanna and her resources starting 2 months in advance. We got engaged in late July 2021 and got married in late April 2023 so I had plenty of time to knock off the big ticket items myself and having a planner step in at the final sprint was exactly what I needed. I was able to text Deanna like I was texting a friend, and all of the resources available through AislePlanner were invaluable. I was also able to seamlessly link her into my Zola, wedding ceremony planner (Provenance) and on every email to vendors. After talking so much with Deanna leading up to the wedding I did truly wish that she would be a part of the day of, but due to a previous booking I worked with two of her associates Ali and Andrea who were AMAZING. It was as if I had been working with them as well the entire time. They came out on Thursday to a venue walkthrough with my whole family which was so helpful. They truly made the day go off without a hitch. From steaming dresses to coordinating timelines, entrances, and keeping me calm since it was a literal monsoon on 4/29/23, they do it all. Run don't walk to the easiest way to enjoy your wedding!!!!!!!

he day of so that we could be stress free and enjoy the day. I would highly recommend Ciao Bella to anyone getting married in the NJ area :)

She even troubleshooted some challenges that came our way with a smile and a solution. I'm beyond grateful for all the help CBE gave me leading up to the big day too – if it wasn't for Deanna, the day would have gone very differently. So thank you Deanna and Ciao Bella for giving me the joys of my wedding day!

wedding day without managing the event ourselves. Since my husband and I were planning the wedding with minimal input from our families, Ciao Bella offered us guidance and expertise on all things wedding planning. From helping us decide on picking the right décor, the ceremony processional/recessional order, and even allowing us to vent during our chats. Deanna is extremely kind and pleasant to work with. When our time was over, I was sad that I wouldn’t get to chat with her as often because she was just a light in the planning process. The most valuable tasks Deanna led were the day of timeline and executing tasks along with her assistant on site. Handling all the vendors in a discreet, confidential way and ensuring the wedding day was seamless. I 100% recommend working with Ciao Bella and would give SIX STARS if I could.

owed me to truly enjoy my wedding stress free. I'm forever thankful for her and CBE!! <3

de would never think to ask or know. She took on tasks flawlessly such as making our timeline, walking us through getting a marriage license (reached out to the borough for us), collected vendor COIs and made sure the venue was on page with everything. Deanna did an amazing job leading our rehearsal. For our wedding day, her and Michelle were absolutely rockstars making sure everything was perfect (and it was)! No detail was overlooked. Throughout the day, the team would ask if my husband and I needed anything. Deanna kept a water bottle in our backpack for us the whole day- a small example of how these little things make CBE next level. I cannot thank CBE enough and wish it’s much deserved success. They put myself and my husband’s wants and needs over everything. I wish every bride the wonderful wedding planning/ wedding experience I had thanks to Deanna.

er in person. When she arrived at the venue she was immediately on top of everything from grabbing the rings and marriage certificate from us to making sure the room was being set up. She had the answer for everything and advice for me all throughout the day. We did not have to worry about a single thing. Something was wrong with the photo booth that the DJ provided. Deanna ran to the bridal suite, grabbed my Polaroid cameras and set up her own little photo booth. Our ceremony was on top of a mountain, which the venue provided golf carts for us to get up. Deanna drove me up in her personal vehicle so that my dress did not get dirty. She really cares deeply for her brides and that is something I’ll never forget. When booking with Ciao Bella, you are getting the best possible service and you can enjoy your event knowing they have it covered.

n come to life and even exceeded it!! Not is Deanna amazing at her job, you can tell she loves doing it. She is so easy to get in touch with and is quick to respond. 10/10!!!!

and boom she had a shout wipe to clean it. I was dying of thirst during our first look pictures, and they literally fed me water. Would highly recommend hiring and would hire CBE again 10 times over!! My in-laws also ended up having her help coordinate for our rehearsal and rehearsal dinner the night before and have nothing but amazing things to say. Lastly, Deanna helped specifically soooo much with our wedding timeline and making sure all of the vendors were on board with what we wanted, which was huge because our photographer was giving us push back on timing and she handled it all perfectly!

Deanna was the right fit. I had major issues with my venue after changing management and Deanna was amazing to help assist with all the issues that came up. She was so easy to communicate and always available to answer any questions leading up to the event. Deanna also helped to manage all my different vendors which also had some other hiccups. Lastly; on the day of my wedding, the venue didn’t follow any of our requests, so Deanna and her assistant Alicia made sure they made the room exactly how we discussed. Without Deanna, my wedding wouldn’t have been my vision at all. I’m so happy to have worked with Deanna and appreciate everything she did. She’s extremely talented and will help bring your dream wedding come to life!

ow knowledgeable she is from being in the industry for so long. She made sure she had all of my vendor contacts as well as the contracts in case of any discrepancies. She was coordinating with all of my vendors before the big day. The morning of, her and her assistant, Ali arrived right on time and got to work. They steamed my dress along with all of my bridesmaids dresses (8!). They laid out all the details for the photographer to capture detail shots in another room. They were so on top of everything and made me feel so secure. We still had a good amount of setting up at the venue to do which I was very stressed about but Deanna and Ali went to the venue early to do it all. They did an INCREDIBLE job. I could not have asked for a better company to work with. When we met them there, they coordinated with the photographer, videographer, caterer and DJ to ensure that everything was running smoothly. There was an issue with the cake that my husband knew about but Deanna told him to not tell me until the next day (thank you!!). Deanna was so professional and took charge, even though the pre-ceremony was so hectic and with such a large wedding party, she was able to keep everything running smoothly. We especially felt how important Deanna was when she left after the contracted 8 hours. Our reception entrance was running behind and therefore dinner and the timeline was pushed back at least 20 minutes. So, I wish we could’ve had Deanna and Ali with us the entire day. Overall I could not have been happier with her services and would 100% hire her again. I will recommend her to anyone getting married! Deanna was a dream to work with!

a great day-of timeline, coordinating transportation for our guests to the afterparty and back to their hotel, and so much more. The day of, she and Alicia arrived with a treasure trove of emergency kit items (shout-out to the double-sided tape!), were right by my side whenever I needed anything like water or a snack, and ensured everything at the venue was set up exactly how I wanted it. They were also super communicative with all our vendors to make sure everything went smoothly and according to schedule, and were so attentive not only to me but to my mother and our whole family. I had the best day ever thanks to them. I can't wait to hire them for another event!

saved the day. We’re so appreciative of Deanna and Alaina for all their help in making our day perfect!

usband had a wardrobe malfunction and they were prepared with a sewing kit. They were on top of keeping everything running on time and smoothly. Hiring Deanna and her team was the best decision we made and I definitely recommend hiring her and her team.

ll the little things were taken care of. I highly, highly recommend booking her. Trust me, it will make your life easier.

uldn’t think of (example : double sided tape) she had. One of my bridesmaids dresses broke, boom she was there to take care of it. I needed some champagne to calm my nerves, she was next to me handing me a glass. My limo was late, before I could even ask.. she had already called. She made sure everything was exactly the way I wanted it, without me having to do it. She made my day so stress free so I could really just ENJOY. Which is all i wanted. It was truly the best desicion I made for my wedding. So ladies, If you are on the fence about this, DO IT. If it’s something you didn’t think about, think about it, you need it!

ything! From preparing timelines and confirming all of our vendors the month before, to getting ready, to handling all tips and final payments, to keeping us cool in the dreadful heat during pictures, to moving and helping to set up all of our decor, we didn’t have to worry or stress about anything and we fully enjoyed every second of our day. My husband and some family even came up to me and were shocked at how calm I was throughout the entire day, and it’s all because of Deanna! You are in great hands with them and I can’t thank them enough for helping to make our day even more perfect!

extremely organized and payed attention to every detail. She also had great communication with all of the vendors, which was a huge relief. She had great suggestions and input, and was so patient and positive. I would highly recommend Deanna and her team to anyone going through this process & can’t wait to work with CBE again soon!

eam making it happen behind the scenes. I am so grateful to have found ciao bella events, I cannot thank them enough!
