I woke up the morning after the wedding with my head spinning with thoughts of the beautiful event we pulled off the night before. And I started to think about Betsy and all the things she did to make this night so much more enjoyable for me. Instead of worrying about all the small details during the wedding day, I was able to enjoy it. During the last part of the evening - I wasn't left with the cleaning off of the tables... I was dancing. And that's exactly what I wanted to be doing. She had it all wrapped up and ready to go...it just took such a load off of me and I would recommend her 100%. Thank you Betsy!!!
Besty / Piece of Cake Consulting is the complete package . . detailed oriented, always readily available, a very hard worker creates a budget with you and keeps you on track, always goes the extra mile, and overall listens to what you want for your wedding and makes it happen. Because of Covid, our wedding was out of town, and it went off without a catch. Many thanks to Betsy!
Betsy did a fantastic job as coordinator for our wedding. She is easy to work with and super helpful.
Our wedding timeline was real tight. My husband and I made the last minute decision in late August to get marrid in October. And though it was a micro wedding (~20 people), we still want everything to be perfect. With that, we reached out to Betsy and she did the magic to help us pulled out all details in a month.
She made sure we got all the vendors we wanted. I was really stressed when I searched online myself and couldn't find any avialable flosit and rentals companies. Thanks to Betsy's recommondation, we end up getting all the vendors we wanted (again, in ~ a month!), and they all did exellent job. Her experience and advices ensured a smooth planning process as well as a beautiful wedding we dreamed of. We absolutely love our wedding day. Thanks Betsy!

Thank you for your kind words Jie! It was a pleasure getting to know you & your families! Iam so happy you chose Piece of Cake Consulting to help plan your special day!
Any questions?
My husband and I would highly recommend Betsy with Piece of Cake Consulting as a wedding coordinator! We had to postpone our wedding due to the pandemic, and Betsy was a lifesaver at bringing everything together and keeping us organized in the month leading up to the wedding. We still needed guest and bridal party transportation a month before the event, and Betsy reached out to as many vendors she could find to secure both! I don't know what we would have done without her at the rehearsal and on the day of the wedding. She kept everyone on schedule and made sure everything went smoothly. My only regret was not hiring Betsy sooner!
Betsy was amazing in helping us plan our big day. We basically had to do it twice with a covid postponement and Betsy was with us through the whole 1-2 years of planning. She was on top of everything and handled the vendors really well. She stayed in touch making sure we were on top of everything we needed to be throughout the process. Her "day of" help was superb and she handled some curveballs of rain and storms really well and made it so we didn't have to worry about a thing on the big day. Overall an amazing planner who knows the area extremely well and will help make your day the one you will never forget.
Shortly after we booked our barn venue, we realized we'd need some help pulling together the details, both big and small, of our ceremony and reception. Betsy and Piece of Caks Consultinf was the first and only coordinator o reached out to. She helped us set a budget, recommended vendors that would work within our budget, and give really helpful feedback and advice about things I wasn't sure of or hadn't thought about.
Betsy is a go-getter and really stepped up in the weeks leading up to our big day when I had some work responsibilities pop up that limited my time and availability.
The day of our wedding was so easy and stress free, and much of that is because she took that on for me. I got to enjoy the day and all the little moments because I fully trusted that I had the right person directing traffic
Working with Betsy was the best decision I made and I highly recommend her to anyone who thinks they may need a little extra help with their wedding. She was kind, professional, honest, and creative.

Awe Amanda, thank you so much! I had such a great time getting to know you & Jason and your awesome family. I’m so glad you chose Piece of Cake, LLC! Wishing you all the best! Cheers!
Betsy and piece of cake consulting did an amazing job and we would not have pulled off our wedding without her! Betsy has a passion for wedding planning that you will notice from the first meeting and it continues until after your big day!
We had an amazing wedding and without betsy’s expertise and guidance it would have not gone as smoothLet as it did. Best advice for future couples: trust Betsy’s budget and be careful when picking a venue. Our experience with the actual venue was horrible but Betsy helped us make the best of it and without her I don’t know how we would Anne handled it! She is the best!
Betsy was wonderful to work with! She was hugely helpful to us, a couple who didn't know a lot about planning a wedding, she had great connections in the Madison area, and she even helped (successfully) negotiate some contracts on our behalf! Day-of, Betsy was extremely present, went above and beyond to help us out with some last minute details, and helped us have the smoothest wedding I imagine is possible. We could not recommend Betsy enough. Thanks Betsy!
We hired Betsy as our day of coordinator for our wedding at the Monona Terrace this past June and she was outstanding! From our first phone call with Betsy I knew she would be wonderful to have on the day of our wedding. Each phone call or email Betsy was personable, professional, and very helpful for keeping us on track and informed as to what questions we need to get answered. Each time we talked to her we felt less stressed about the whole planning process and keeping everything running smoothly the day of. Even though we had only hired her as our day of planner, she still offered and booked our rental chairs for us through Event Essentials and coordinated everything with them. The day of our wedding was absolutely perfect! She was our point of contact with our venue and if anything went wrong AT ALL during the day, my husband and I still to this day have no idea if it had happened. She was always there when we needed her and just seemed to know where to be when and how to keep us organized and sticking to our timeline perfectly. I would also recommend hiring Betsy to do take down at the end of the night. Not only did Betsy set up our venue space EXACTLY as I envisioned and asked her to, but she also took down our decorations and made sure to pack everything away so no one in either of our families had to worry about ending the evening cleaning up after the reception. Betsy went above and beyond for our wedding and honestly made our day perfect. – Thank you so much Betsy – we couldn’t have done it without you!!
I could not be happier with the execution of my daughter's wedding and we could not have done it without Betsy! Her experience and advise ensured a smooth planning process. All the vendors that she recommended did an excellent job, the band was so much fun. She made the wedding day seem effortless. I would definitely use her services again. Thanks Betsy!
My husband and I got married this past August and couldn’t have pulled it off without the help of Betsy. Even though we live out of state we were able to meet with Betsy in person as well as over the phone. After each meeting we were left feeling less stressed and knew we were on track, which is the best feeling to have when planning a wedding! Betsy was always very organized, provided great tips, vendor recommendations and was very bubbly and fun to work with. Finally when our wedding day arrived, everything went off without a hitch! Everything was on time, people were where they needed to be, flowers were transported, and the list could go on. As the Bride, I was worried about everything coming together and I can honestly say I am so happy with everything! I was able to enjoy our wedding day without having to run around like a mad women making sure everything was ready to go! Betsy was a godsend to have throughout the whole process and my husband and I recommend her to any couple looking for an organized, hands-on, delightful person to work with!
Piece of Cake Consulting is spot on! Jenn and I were married at the Edgewater on Labor Day weekend 2018, and Betsy made it all so easy. With all of the goings on in town, she nailed down excellent vendors from the party bus to the flowers to the lounge section so folks who didn't dance could hang out in comfort. Given our hectic schedules we asked Betsy to design the reception and surprise us. We were delighted and people can't say enough about how beautiful the room was. Throughout the process, Betsy was always accessible by email/phone/text. She made our wedding planning easy and fun! We are excited to recommend Betsy and Piece of Cake Consulting to anyone wanting a beautiful ceremony and a stressless wedding day!
5 STARS ALL THE WAY! Betsy was great to work with throughout the year planning our wedding! We wouldn't of been able to make it happen without her at the Bishops Bay location in Madison. She has the experience and knowledge of best vendors to work with, décor ideas, and very good at organizing a schedule for your day. Highly recommend Betsy! :)

Abby, WOW! Thank you so much for the five star review! I really appreciate you taking the time out to share your experience. I work extremely hard to offer my clients the best vendors at the best rates. It was a pleasure working with you and yo...
ur families. We shared so many good times & great laughs throughout our working together. I consider myself lucky for clients like you. Please let me know what I can do for you in the future.
Very disappointed in Betsy and her event day-of coordination. As a bridesmaid I had to do the role that she was being paid to do, and when the DJ asked she didn't even know how to pronounce the bride and groom's last name. She often disappeared as wasn't there when we needed to find her. She walked behind the bride and groom in the grand march, ruining those photos instead of walking around and had the bride so stressed out all day I had to try to keep the bride away from her because she was ruining her day... I would NOT recommend, proceed with caution!!

Hi Bethany, Thank you for sharing this feedback. I wish you could've spoken to me about your concerns so I could've best addressed them at the time or worked to make things right. I can only improve on what I'm made aware of. I will use these n...
otes to improve on my customer experience and overall business strategy. If you'd be so kind as to reach out to me directly to provide more salient feedback, I'd consider it a personal favor & greatly appreciate it. I wish your friends only the best in their marriage & future endeavors.
Betsy did a wonderful job as our day-of coordinator! She was thoughtful, kind, and very business-like. I had 100 percent confidence in her ability to handle any issues or problems that could've come up on the big day, so I could sit back and relax and soak in the experience without worry. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking to delegate some of the day-of logistics and coordination to a pro.
Betsy was incredible for our day of wedding planner. She walked us through the rehearsal the day before the wedding w/ speed and directed the crowd for efficiency. No one wants a 2 hour ceremony rehearsal. Throughout the wedding she was there when we needed her and was sure to give us space to when it was needed. She was a crucial asset to our wedding in all shapes and forms and I would highly recommend her for ANY bride and groom who wants piece of mind on their wedding day!
We hired Betsy for my daughter's wedding and it was one of the best decisions we made for the day! Betsy was a total pro and took care of everything we needed. It took so much stress out of the day knowing she was handling everything. It made it possible for me to truly enjoy all aspects of my daughter's wedding knowing that everything was in her capable hands.
Besty was a AMAZING! I was planning my Madison wedding from Louisiana, which even with the help of my mom and sister was difficult at times. Her recommendations of vendors were a huge help and we were not disappointed in any of them. Betsy has a great personality, when you talk to her you feel like you've known her for years. She keeps it fun, but make sure everything is on schedule and it gets done. The day of the wedding she really helped to keep things running smoothly. It was a stress free wedding day thanks to her. If you're looking for a wedding planner she is your girl! You will not be disappointed.
We just returned from our honeymoon (we left the Monday after the wedding) and one of the first things we had to do was to review Piece of Cake Consulting and its owner, Betsy. Our wedding was exactly what we wanted, in no small part because of Betsy’s hard work. From our first meeting, Betsy really listened to what we wanted in our wedding and inspired confidence that she could make it happen. We both liked Betsy’s style – a nice balance of flexibility but also asking good questions about our ideas to make sure we had really thought things through. Betsy took it from ideas to reality. She provided recommendations and references for vendors, but was not pushy about it. She worked well with everyone involved. The week of the wedding, Betsy really took over, confirming (and re-confirming!) all of the details with the venue, vendors, etc. By the time the wedding came, everything was in place and it went so smoothly. (We suspect many thing were going on behind the scenes, but Betsy and her assistant took care of everything and we never saw any snags or issues.) Betsy is organized, detail-oriented and can take control when needed, but also super easy to work with and, not unimportantly, she made wedding planning actually low stress and fun! We HIGHLY recommend Piece of Cake.
I cannot possibly say enough about Betsy and Piece of Cake Consulting. The #1 thing I kept reading when I was recently engaged was to "hire a day of planner" and I could not agree more. Best money spent! From the moment I met with Betsy, I knew she was the perfect person. She was very personable and professional listing to all my concerns and answering all of my questions. She provided me with a budget breakdown and vendor recommendations, which was wonderful, but what makes this a 5-star rating is Betsy's day of coordination. I did not have to fret or be bothered with anything on the day of my wedding. Betsy and her assistant made sure everything was set up perfectly, she worked with the vendors, kept events moving smoothly and on-time and most of all, everything (and I mean everything) was packed up at the end of the night including decorations, gifts, etc. You plan for months and years for your wedding day and it is over in an instant. The last thing you need to do is worry about the details on your day. I was able to thoroughly enjoy my wedding day knowing that Betsy would handle everything...and she did! She is definitely worth every penny! Thanks Betsy!
Betsy was AMAZING! She executed our wedding FLAWLESSLY, and even when we found out later that pieces got delayed unexpectedly, Betsy handled all issues with finesse and we didn't even notice any problems during the whole day! She is fantastic to work with, providing great advice along the way on etiquette and proper protocol, assisting us with ideas wherever possible. Because of her, all our family + guests were able to have a great night free of responsibilities, and she so efficiently completed all her duties early to make sure everything that needed to be done got accomplished. We will HIGHLY recommend her as someone to manage the wedding/large events, her professionalism and skill are unmatched. This is the ONLY wedding I have ever been a part of where EVERYTHING was ON TIME!!! This never happens at weddings!!! People still keep complimenting our wedding on how perfectly executed it was, and Betsy deserves all the credit!
Me and my husband hired Betsy to be our day of planner and I couldn't imagine not having her there. We were planning our Wisconsin wedding from California so the logistics became tricky. Betsy was very flexible with skyping with us for our meetings. She was always prepared and responded to all my questions in a very timely manner. She was exactly what I wanted in a wedding planner, organized, personable, had good connections with vendors, and was ready to take charge. The day of the wedding, I had a few random things that I forgot to do, like get firewood for the campfire so we could use our smore's bar. Without hesitation, Betsy ran out and bought it. We didn't have any major issues at our wedding but I was so thankful she was there just in case and to help with all the little details of that day. I highly recommend using Piece of Cake Consulting for all of your wedding planning needs.
Betsy was great to work with. We were from out of town and relied on her vendor recommendations , which all turned out great. She is organized and has excellent follow up.
We supplied her with lots of decorations and she did a very nice job getting them placed in the venue.
The wedding went off flawlessly, and Betsy was a big part of that.
I hired Piece of Cake Consulting to plan and coordinate my wedding. I was pleased to find that the owner, Betsy, is also who I worked with throughout my experience. She was on top of every detail, which really helped me with my stress level. At times I felt she had a better grip of what was going on than I did! Betsy was helpful, organized, caring and professional from my first consultation with her until after my wedding, when she followed up to make sure I was pleased with her services. I would HIGHLY recommend Piece of Cake Consulting for wedding and event planning! The price is well worth it as Betsy's services provide peace of mind and allow you to have an amazing wedding experience!
Betsy is incredible! Do yourself a favor now and hire her. She made our day amazing - she's kind, fun, and gets things done. I can't imagine our wedding without her, honestly. Our friends and family adored her, and she navigates tough situations really well. We love her!
As a bride I am very thankful that I found Betsy at Piece of Cake Consulting. Betsy assured me that my day would be perfect and it was just that perfect :) Betsy helped me find the best vendors to fit my budget which was a big concern of mine. She offered her expertise on lots of parts of the wedding process which made things less stressful for me. I highly suggest Piece of Cake Consulting!!
Betsy at piece of cake consulting is defiantly amazing. I am so blessed to have hired her as our wedding planner. She made our wedding rehearsal and wedding day stress free. She is very detailed, was always there to offer any advice and answered any questions that I asked. Our wedding was beautiful. She really understood my vision for my special day and helped me pull it altogether. I would highly recommend her to any engaged couple!
