Christine and her team were amazing! On a frantic day, they were calming, and had a great energy. They were on top of it- but everyone loved them. I did the Day Of package as well as design input. We had a pinterest board full of ideas, etsy postings, etc and she came up with some great ideas that made the wedding feel very special. Our guests appreciated how well thought out it was, and that made me feel great!
We were very lucky that Christine was our planner- she is SO good at what she does, and her team carries the same energy with her. She kept me going when I would get stuck on things and was a great sounding board. She felt like my friend and my planner! She's impossible not to like- and I think there's something to not being afraid of your planner. There is a way to keep things moving but in a nice, fun, celebratory manner- which is what she and her team were able to do!
Love Christine and would use her all over again!!!!
As a couple, when we began thinking about the wedding planning process we were not sure that we needed a planner or could afford to hire one. After many interviews Christine with Piece of Cake Events was one of only two vendors that took us seriously given our budget, which was about $20k. Christine listened to our wants and wishes (both of us... not just the bride!), formed a package to suit our needs, and from the moment we hired her she was there with us every step of the way.
She found us a unique venue and excellent vendors to fit our budget. She saved us money on more than one negotiation with vendors, answered all of our calls and emails promptly, was always fun to work with, and she even put out a couple of last minute fires on the day of the wedding. (Figurative fires, people. Not literal ones.)
Looking back on the whole experience we do not regret a thing. Piece of Cake deserves a more thorough review than this, but I have to run now. So in summary let's just say that Christine is worth it.
I can't say enough good things about Christine from Piece of Cake Events. When I first got engaged, I knew I wanted to do everything on my own and knew I couldn't afford a wedding planner. Then, I learned exactly what a DOC does and thought, for piece of mind, I was going to hire someone. And thank god I did! Christine was everything and more! With our wedding having to be moved from 11/2/12 to 11/3/12 due to Hurricane Sandy, and in 48 hours no less, I was so grateful to have Christine by my side! She helped me not only take 2 years of planning and squeeze it into 2 days but she was also my friend and my shoulder to lean on and my therapist! She went above and beyond my expectations! We could not have gotten through what we went through without Christine and because of that I feel forever in her debt! So, not only is she good in a crisis, she is extremely knowledgeable and quick to respond to any question or query you might have. She is reliable and attentive and was amazing at helping us stick to our allotted times! I could go on and on about all of the wonderful things that make Christine my favorite vendor to work with! I highly recommend her services to anyone looking for help with their big day!!!!
Christine was my day of coordinator and she went above and beyond to ensure my wedding day was enjoyable and stress free. From the time we started working together, she was always available to offer suggestions or answer any questions I had. In the weeks leading up to my wedding, she confirmed all of my vendors & created a timeline for the day of which helped everyone stay on track. Additionally, she also kept the bridal party organized & on time which wasn't an easy task. There was a minor mishap with one of my vendors & Christine immediately stepped in and handled it so my husband and I wouldn't have to worry. I don't know what we would have done without her that day! Thanks again for everything! - Melissa & Philipp Kuhner
Christine and her team were great... she made sure everything ran smoothly and kept everyone in line which can be a bit challenging with some of out friends and family! She kept me calm and was there whenever I needed her and gave AMAZING vendor recommendations. I would highly recommend using Piece of Cake events for a Wedding Planner!
Christine and her team are fantastic! I hired Christine as a day of coordinator for my wedding, and two of my friends used her for the same thing as well. When I was coming down to the wire with last minute things to do, it was the most helpful thing to have Christine contact all of my vendors for me to confirm all of the details. Christine also looked over my timeline and gave me recommendations as to what to allocate more time to, etc. Everything went perfectly and I definitely credit Christine with contributing to that.
The day of my wedding, it was great to have someone there to do the million little things you need done or handled. My mom and maid of honor were able to be with me while I was getting ready instead of having to run around doig little things because they were already taken care of. She ran to the store for me, rallied my huge bridal party together when we were needed for pictures, etc. I could go on and on, but he bottom line is that Christine was great and having her as a day of coordinator for my wedding was completely worth it. I can't imagine it having gone as smoothly as it did without her. THANK YOU for everything - you will always come highly recommended by me! :)
I hired Christine as my day-of coordinator to help with all day-of details - she went above and beyond that as I had a few last minute hiccups leading up to our wedding. She helped not only keep things running smoothly on our wedding day but kept me calm and helped me find a makeup person last minute - she is everything a bride could ask for - cool, calm and collected and ready for any emergency. On the day of, I didn't have to ask for anything because she had everything under control. I highly recommend her to anyone - if you are a bride and want to ENJOY your wedding day she's your gal!
All I have to say is hiring Piece of Cake Events was one of the best decisions I made when it came to or wedding. She kept everyone calm, laughing and on time! Knowing that Christine was there to handle any problems made me know that my wedding would be perfect. Dont think twice. Give Christine a call!
Christine was a great day of coordinator. She had contacted all of the vendors a week before and coordinated all of their arrival times. On day of wedding she was great making sure that all items were transferred from one location to another, she had the emergency sewing kit which we needed and she ensured that the family photos were all taken. Great asset to the day.
Christine was absolutely amazing!!! She was awesome from day 1. Just days before the wedding, we had our final meeting and she completely calmed my nerves. The day of she was everywhere and took care of anything that came up including a sticky situation with my dad, brother, sister in law, my niece and nephew were lost and running late for my day. She calmed me down, reminded me that it was my day and i should just focus on being happy. As i walked down the aisle, Christine seamlessly escorted my wayward dad and sibling into the ceremony and i didnt notice anything. She kept us on time for everything (pictures, limos etc) made sure people were where they needed to be for all the needed moments (i.e she found my dad and my stepdad just in time for father/mother/daughter dance). I dont know how I could have enjoyed my day without her!! Thanks again Christine!
I have to admit that I was completely overwhelmed when I began planning my wedding. A detail-oriented person, I was determined to do everything on my own and make everything absolutely perfect. The only problem was, I had no clue where to start! I cannot begin to explain how fortunate I feel to have found Christine. Not only is she organized, resourceful, professional and reliable, but she is a fun! She made us feel completely at ease, and we immediately felt that that the most important day of our lives was safe in her hands.
We hired Christine as our day-of coordinator and I can’t imagine our wedding without her. Upon our first meeting, she helped us organize and prioritize our completely overwhelming and seemingly never-ending wedding “To Do” list. She was excellent about checking in periodically during the planning process, and always offered excellent advice and several amazing vendor recommendations. When it came time to do our details meeting the week before the wedding, she basically saved my life. I left our meeting and nearly cried out of sheer happiness and relief. I honestly felt as though I were the only person who knew all of the tiny details that I had been planning for the past 11 months, and she just took them all out of my hands and into her own. She is the reason that I was able to relax and enjoy my wedding day – which is simply priceless. She handled everything from anxious parents, to tardy vendors, to a broken dress bustle, and I’m sure a HUNDRED other things that she never even let us see. I honestly don’t know how she does it, but this is truly her calling. Christine ensured that our wedding day was exactly what we had dreamed of, and for that, I can never thank her enough.
If you have the opportunity to hire Piece of Cake Events, do not pass it up! I would recommend Christine to any bride wanting the perfect wedding day – she is simply AMAZING. Thank you, Christine!
Best,

We had been going back and forth on hiring a DOC, and boy are we glad that we did! Christine was wonderful from the first time we met with her until she left after our reception. She was on top of everything during our wedding day, and it took so much stress off of us. I would recommend her to anyone!
Christine was wonderful to work with from day one. She is so sweet and has good organizational ideas and advice on various aspects of the wedding. She came to several vendor meetings with us. On the day of the wedding she and Lisa were absolutely invaluable! My bouquet was hideous when it was delivered and they actually made be a much prettier bouquet out of flowers from my parent's kitchen/garden! They helped everything flow smoothly, helped the photographer get people together for organized group pictures, sent messages back and forth between the bridal suites to keep things organized, and generally just kept everything running smoothly. I cannot recommend them more strongly, they were truly excellent.
DOC: Christine from Piece of Cake Events A +++
We hired Christine as our day of coordinator. We cannot say enough good things about her. She was by our side all day, always involved, but never got in the way. She was really on the ball when it came to organizing our vendors, calling them to confirm before the event, answering any last minute questions I had, and additionally asking us about things that we had not even considered but were vital to our day being perfect. The day of the wedding she handed out my tips to the vendors so I did not have to, she was very aware of everything going on around us when it came to the vendors, and if anything went wrong she was on top of it but always kept us informed. Not only did she take care of my husband and I, but was very attentive to the bridal party and guests (a couple of examples: One of my bridesmaids dress strap broke and she took care of it, also my new sister-in-law who was a guest at my wedding had a huge run in her stockings and Christine went out of her way to find her new ones). Although, I was the one who decided to hire a DOC and dealt primarily with her, my husband was raving about her after the wedding saying how he couldn't get over what a huge help she was and what an amazing job she did.
