Casey was absolutely wonderful to work with! We were fortunate to have Casey recommended by our venue, which she knew the ins and outs of.
Casey helped us bring our creative an...
d (and sometimes chaotic) ideas to life to create the perfect wedding day. I was especially impressed by her budget-friendly brainstorming and ability to simplify some of our challenges. For Casey and her team, there was no problem that was unsolvable.
It was especially helpful that Casey met with us at the venue and at the rental warehouse several times to make sure everything was planned accordingly. She worked well with all our vendors, coordinating with them well in advance, and took the pressure off us and our families so that we could enjoy the day.
Thank you again for everything Casey and team, you truly made the day a dream!
We are so so grateful to have had Casey and the wedding connection team help us plan and execute our 2025 wedding. Casey is thoughtful, kind, so knowledgeable, and really cares abo...
ut her clients. She gave the perfect amount of direction while also helping us make our vision come to life. She also made the wedding day itself run SO smoothly. 10/10 recommend wedding connection to anyone looking for some wedding planning help!!
We had an AMAZING experience with Wedding Connection. Casey, the owner, was wonderful in every way. She is organized, detailed, and prompt. She handled all the key logistics of our...
wedding preparation when we were stressed in the days leading up to our wedding. The wedding itself was extremely smooth. We had an incredible experience, largely thanks to the behind the scenes work Casey and her team were doing during the event. Rancho Soquel was a stunning and beautiful venue just a few minutes from Soquel and Capitola. We highly recommend Casey and her team for any Santa Cruz area wedding.
Casey was great! She was very flexible and could meet when it worked for the couple. She was so helpful before the wedding and then throughout our wedding weekend. Our day went so ...
smoothly because she was there to ensure it did. She worked well with all of our other vendors, as well! Thank you, Casey!
Casey is fantastic. She made the planning process so simple - to the point I had the whole wedding planned almost a year out. She also made the day of so easy, never once had to wo...

Casey and the Wedding Connection team were wonderful to work with. We felt supported by them from day one. They always responded to our emails promptly and were happy to hop on cal...
ls with us as we got deep into planning. Casey provided a preferred vendor list to us which was so helpful as we searched for the right team of vendors for us, and the Aisle Planer site that her clients have access to helped us organize our guest list, seating assignments and layouts, and day-of timeline. They also kept everything calm and running smoothly on the day of the wedding. I highly recommend Casey and her team!
I hired Casey as a month-of coordinator for my wedding at a private residence. The wedding went off without a hitch (or at least no problems that I needed to know about or take car...
e of!), which is a sign of an excellent coordinator! She had great ideas for the design and flow of the wedding, was easy to work, really nice, and overall did a great job managing the vendors and event flow. Strongly recommend!
Casey and her team were wonderful! She was approachable, calming and extremely competent throughout our planning process. She felt like part of our family by the end of our wedding...

Quote of the night "Don't have a wedding without Casey." I cannot begin to fully describe the level of how much Casey saved our night but I'll try. Casey and Denise go above and be...
yond to aid in hiring vendors, setting up timelines and ensuring your day goes smoothly. They were absolute live savers towards the end of the week when we needed last minute rentals. On the day of the wedding, I never once had to lift a finger. I knew our day was in good hands, and I even received compliments from guests saying how well Casey was handling the whole day. At the end of the night, we encountered a problem which could have easily put a damper to the way our special day ended but Casey swooped in like a knight in shining armor. From start to absolute finish. Nothing was left out or behind.
Denise was our wedding planner for our wedding at the Monterey Bay Aquarium in October 2016, and we could not have asked for a better planner or planning experience! She is efficie...
nt, practical, and explains things straightforwardly. She was always looking out for our interests by telling us when something was unnecessary or simply not cost-effective for our needs. She also has a great, fun personality, which makes working with her an enjoyable experience. One of her best, most important qualities is how prompt and responsive she is with communications. Given all of the moving parts that go into wedding planning, having a planner as attentive as Denise is critical. She also handled our day-of event flawlessly. It was the most special day of our lives, and we never once had to worry about how the wedding was going – thank you Denise! We can’t give her high enough praise.
Our wedding was at Rancho Soquel on 7-1-17. Our wedding coordinators, Denise and Elyse were fantastic through the entire planning process and through the day. I have nothing negati...
ve to say about Wedding Connection, their services exceeded our expectations! Some reasons why they nailed it: prompt email and phone call responses, reliable vendor resources, swift fixes to any problems or concerns and an obvious passion for what they do!
We had the most wonderful wedding at Rancho Soquel last weekend. Denise at Wedding Connections was our wedding planner with the Rancho Soquel property. She was absolutely fantast...
ic, sweet, organized, helpful (the list goes on), ALL 7 mo's we worked together in planning our event. And on our wedding day she was fabulous! Everything went so smoothly and we didn't have to worry about a thing. She's just an all around PRO! We couldn't have asked for a better experience :)
We truly could not have had the joyful, relaxed and gorgeous wedding we did without the help of Denise Addesso. She advised us well throughout the process of planning our wedding, ...
and on the day of, everything was taken care of. She runs a well-oiled machine working with vendors in the area seamlessly.
My Aunt works for The Wedding Connection, and so she was my wedding planner. She got all the details that I had not even thought about, and was able to organize it so well. She rea...
lly worked for me, not for the venue or anyone else, and it was great to have my ideas and feelings heard.
While I had pretty much all the creative ideas, when we hit a road block, our planner was very helpful. I was So thankful that we hired her. We planned our wedding from afar. ...
We were 1.5 hours away from Santa Cruz and she was invaluable in helping us orchestrate things at this distance. Also, as we'd never planned a wedding before : ) she was an amazing help!
