From the very first conversation to the last dance, our wedding planner (Melissa Eagen) exceeded every expectation. She was incredibly organized, thoughtful, caring, and genuinely invested in making our day everything we dreamed it would be.
She went above and beyond in every way anticipating needs before we even realized them, handling every detail with professionalism, and making sure everything ran seamlessly. No matter what came up, she remained calm, accommodating, and always had a solution. Her attention to detail and ability to keep everything on track allowed us to truly relax and enjoy every moment of the wedding.
What stood out most was how much she genuinely cared. She treated the wedding as if it were her own and made us feel supported throughout the entire planning process. Her kindness, patience, and dedication made what could have been a stressful experience feel effortless.
If you’re looking for someone who is organized, compassionate, and willing to go the extra mile to make your wedding perfect, I cannot recommend Melissa Eagen with Truly Together highly enough. She played such a huge role in making this special day unforgettable. We are forever grateful. Thank you for making this dream wedding a reality!

- Melissa EagenSenior PlannerI’m originally from Southern California, but have been happily calling Texas my home for quite some time now. I enjoy fully emerging myself into various cultures and traditions, and I do that in my everyday life (my home is a blend of California and Texas). I want to help you bring that out in your wedding and for your day to feel uniquely yours! I have always had a passion for the creative arts, event planning, and the magic of weddings. I started out my wedding planning career as a venue coordinator and planner in the beautiful Texas Hill Country. Through this experience, I have overseen hundreds of weddings from the venue perspective and from the planning perspective as that venue offers in-house planning. I’m a huge team player and operate best when wearing 17 hats, which wedding planning absolutely helps me achieve! Each wedding is completely different and I’m always growing (which certainly helps to keep my life full of joy and challenge). I feel so lucky to help bring together such a special day and watch even the littlest of sweet moments unfold. When I am not planning weddings, you can find me on a playground or splash pad with my two little boys. I look forward to helping you plan your dream day!

Melissa at Truly Together was incredible to work with from start to finish. She embraced our vision and helped us create a wedding that truly felt like us—fun, unique, and anything...
but traditional. No idea was too unusual, and she found ways to bring every detail to life while keeping everything organized and stress-free.
On the wedding day, everything ran seamlessly, allowing us to be fully present and enjoy every moment. Every vendor was exceptional at what they do and Melissa was key to finding and contracting with each of them. If you’re looking for a planner who listens, gets creative, and genuinely cares about making your wedding personal, we can’t recommend Melissa at Truly Together enough. She helped turn our vision into an unforgettable day.

One would think it would be incredibly easy to write a review about the most magnificent wedding planner on earth, Cassie Abbott of Truly Together, but I'm anxious my words won't a...
dequately convey her magic. I had a great deal of angst about hiring a wedding planner, as this was a second marriage for both of us, and my fiancé insisted it was just a party, and I insisted it was still a wedding. And yes, those initial conversations were a bit tense, but, fortunately, Cassie turned out to be a skilled mediator. Our venue was our backyard, and we both agreed we wanted the celebration to be casual and fun, yet also elevated and memorable. As I searched the many wedding planner options available in the Austin area, the images of Truly Together's weddings expressed so much life and FUN. I could immediately tell Cassie would embrace a quirky vibe with classy details. My intuition was spot on. Cassie absolutely knocked it out of the park. The vast majority of our friends and family continue to praise ours as "the best wedding they have ever attended." The challenge we presented to Cassie was to seat 120 guests for a brief ceremony in our limited backyard space, then quickly turn it into a party that would vibe for hours. Cassie and he staff accomplished this deftly. Minutes after the ceremony finished, the rows of chairs were gone and several "living room lounges", complete with rugs, tables, and perfect decor, as well bistro dining areas, magically appeared while guests were enjoying their first cocktail. It truly happened in the blink of an eye, to everyone's delight.
From start to finish, Cassie was an absolute dream to work with. I am a terrible procrastinator, and for seven months she kept me on time with gentle nudges for each task I needed to complete or decision to make. She is both relaxed AND detail-oriented. The day of the wedding she moved like a ninja to make sure everything and everyone was in the right place at the right time. Little problems were uniformly managed without fanfare, such that the day truly was perfection, and I didn't have to worry about a single thing. My only regret once the wedding was over was that I woudn't get to hang out with Cassie anymore...she's just that cool.
Top to bottom, Truly Together is stellar in every way. Cassie's assistant, Casey, was equally delightful, helpful, and organized, and the wedding day staff were all phenomenal. Cassie and her team have great insight into the best vendors in town, and she is extremely cost conscious at every step. Finally, her fee for her excellent care of us throughout the process was EXTREMELY reasonable. In retrospect, had it been twice what she charged, I still would have felt that I got great value. I truly can not recommend Truly Together strongly enough. In short, they slay, as our kids say.

We truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Melissa and the Truly Together Events team. From the very beginning, we knew her energy and personality were exactly what we were ...
looking for in someone to collaborate with throughout the wedding planning process. She made us feel supported, excited, and genuinely cared for throughout the process.
Melissa was incredible when it came to helping us build our vendor team. Every recommendation she made—from our venue, catering, DJ, hair and makeup team, content creator, espresso bar, and even our vintage cars—was amazing. She clearly has such strong relationships in the industry and such a great eye for vendors who deliver.
One of the biggest things we appreciated was her organization throughout the entire process. She stayed on top of our budgets, contracts, timelines, and all of the moving pieces that come with wedding planning, which made everything feel seamless and manageable. We heard so many stories from other couples about how stressful wedding planning can be, butChris and I really didn’t experience that stress thanks to Melissa.
We also really appreciated her vision and ability to understand exactly the vibe we were going for. Every vendor she recommended felt aligned with our style, and because of that, our wedding had such a cohesive, intentional feel from start to finish.
On the wedding day itself, everything flowed so smoothly, and we were able to fully be present and enjoy the day because we trusted Melissa completely. This peace of mind was invaluable.
If you’re considering hiring a wedding planner, we wholeheartedly encourage you to book with Melissa. We are so grateful for everything she did to make our wedding so special.

I cannot say enough amazing things about Casey Chambers. Hiring her as our day-of coordinator was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From the very beginning, Casey ...
was incredibly reliable, thoughtful, and organized. In the weeks leading up to the wedding, she helped me think through so many details I never would have considered on my own, which gave me so much confidence going into the day.
On the wedding day itself, Casey was so collected and completely in control. Because of her, I truly did not worry about a single thing. Even when it started to rain before the ceremony, she made sure the rain plan was executed perfectly. She handled everything seamlessly from start to finish, including setup, coordinating vendors, keeping the timeline on track, teardown, and packing everything up at the end of the night. I was able to be fully present and enjoy every moment knowing that everything was taken care of. I really felt like I just showed up that morning and left that night without fully knowing everything that went into making our day so beautiful and that’s a testament to how incredible Casey is.
If you’re looking for someone who is dependable, proactive, and genuinely cares about making your day perfect, look no further because Casey is it. I would recommend her a thousand times over to any couple!!

We are so thankful to have worked with Cassie for our day of coordination services. Our wedding was perfectly run. We have absolutely no complaints. Everything went so smoothly. It...
was quite frankly amazing. There was so many moving pieces, so many people to organize, and we had a more unique ceremony and venue that came with its own challenges. We were working with a shortened time period for set up, because our museum venue was still operating during the day. Our wedding also took place on different floors of the museum. Also, an additional challenge that Cassie handled with ease was that we don't live in Austin, so we can't thank her enough for her flexibility. It was easy meeting with her virtually, and she was understanding when my wife and I had connectivity issues, and we were still able to work with her effectively. She is friendly, thoughtful, patient, and detail orientated. We can't emphasize enough how much her attention to detail saved us. There are tons of things we didn't think of, and we appreciate how thorough she was in her questionnaires and during our meetings. As two queer women, we also felt safe working with her and Truly Together Events. It was a great experience working with her. She made it so easy, and we are so, so happy with how well everything went on our wedding. It was a smooth night, and it's all thanks to Cassie exceptional orchestration. Many people told us this was the best wedding they've ever been too, and a large part of that is thanks to Cassie. She worked so hard to make our wedding run like a well oiled machine and to make sure we were taken care of. Wedding planning is so stressful, but Cassie made us feel so much better, and we are grateful for how great the night was. Almost makes us want to go through it all again and plan another wedding!

thoughtful in guiding us through the process, keeping everything on track (and on budget!) and make the process fun and manageable. If you have a question (finding vendors, tipping etiquette), Cassie has a spreadsheet for it! Cassie essentially became a family member throughout this process. We relied on her advice to create the vision for our wedding and turn our half-baked ideas into delightful reality (see: shave ice truck!). The weekend of our wedding she was everywhere, anticipating our and our families' needs and helping us to truly enjoy the day. We are so grateful to Cassie and her team!

Of our entire wedding process, working with Truly Together was the best decision that my husband and I made (second only to the decision to get married, of course!). We were able t...
o interact with a number of the Truly Together team throughout the year of our planning, though we were lucky enough to work with Cassie Abbott (the owner) and Casey Chambers most directly. Both Cassie and Casey were incredible resources, providing my husband and I with their valuable expertise from day one.
While it is hard to imagine that any event planning service could have matched Truly Together in any regard, their genuine investment in our wedding was so delightfully transparent. Their own joy and excitement for our wedding was an incredible delight, all while doing all of the hard work insofar as finding vendors for us to workin with, playing intermediary between us and those vendors, and ensuring that the day itself lived up to our expectations.
Namely, as a queer couple in Texas, it was uniquely appreciated that Truly Together works exclusively with vendors that are queer-owned or queer-inclusive. At no point were my husband and I concerned about interacting with, or hiring, someone who was willing to take our money but unwilling to recognize us as a couple. All of this is because of Truly Together’s own impeccable values as wedding planners.
I cannot recommend Truly Together enough, and I guarantee that any wedding planned by their team will be remembered well!

They were a tremendous resource, especially for planning the arrival of out-of-town guests during the F1 weekend, which we hadn't anticipated. Their expertise shone through, demonstrating they were true industry experts. On the wedding day, they did a fantastic job keeping everyone to the timeline, and we appreciated how they made sure we were constantly fed and hydrated.
Overall, their vision for our big day closely matched our own, creating a beautiful and memorable experience. We highly recommend Truly Together Event Co to anyone seeking a dedicated, professional, and talented wedding planner.

Cassie's biggest strength is how she provides process & structure for the wedding planning process. She is extremely organized, detail oriented, and well connected across the city. This helped us tremendously - from finding the venue to managing guest lists, negotiating vendor contracts, thinking about the "gotchas", common slip ups in the process, and more, Cassie put us in a much better position than we would have been in ourselves.
If you're a couple that wants structure, guidance, and support from an amazing team look no further than Cassie & the Truly Together team!

On the big day, Casey made sure everything was set up how we wanted, and kept everything running smoothly all night long.

Hiring Truly Together Event Co. to help us plan our wedding was hands down the best decision I made in 2024. As someone with ADHD who gets easily overwhelmed by a million details, ...
they made the whole process so much easier. Due to our small guest count, we opted for “wedding day management,” which included a detailed spreadsheet of everything we needed to do on our own before they took over. We were also able to add on “venue selection,” so we could get an expert’s opinion while choosing our venue (I had no idea where to start). We ended up with the perfect venue, and all their vendor recommendations were fantastic. Our caterer even agreed to reduce their minimum just because we were working with Truly Together—we wouldn’t have been able to book them otherwise! Samantha was kind, helpful, and professional. Our whole wedding day timeline went perfectly—we even had a few moments where we were ahead of schedule and I could take a breath! Most importantly, they ensured everything about our wedding reflected who we are as a couple—which is not conventional at all. Samantha wasn’t phased by any of our unique choices (blue dress, no officiant, no alcohol). Our wedding day was perfect, and we are forever grateful to this team for making it happen for us.

We hired Melissa to be our wedding coordinator and couldn't be happier. All of the pre-wedding online meetings and resources gave us a great starting point to begin planning our w...
edding. I have never been involved in planning a wedding before my own, so I wouldn't have known where to start otherwise. The progress meetings were very helpful for keeping on track and moving things along. The venue walk-through made me realize a lot of things I hadn't thought about. Some good tweaks in our plans came out of the walk-through, thanks to Melissa's wealth of experience and lessons learned from tons of other weddings. The day of coordination was fantastic. The month of our wedding, my partner and I had just gone through a tough move out of our house into an apartment on top of all the wedding planning, and we were exhausted. I'm a project manager for my job, so I thought I had the stamina for this all of this, but by the morning of the wedding I was so burnt out that I wasn't capable of making one more decision or keeping track of anything at all. I had mush brain. Melissa and her assistant being there meant that I didn't have to worry about anything and I could be led along like a sheep in her pro hands. I didn't have to be at the venue at all the morning of the wedding so I was able to gather my nerves, relax and get ready with my girls. Everything at the venue was perfect when I showed up and we could focus on the important part- actually getting married. Melissa made sure we had food, drinks, water, everything we needed. She oversaw a room flip, all the timeline of events, and kept us updated about any changes or decisions, of which there were almost none. It just went perfectly smoothly, and if it didn't, I sure didn't notice or hear about it. Also, our elderly parents and family with young kids did not have the burden of staying until midnight to wait for vendors to pack out and to lock the venue. We returned to the venue the next day to cart our things away and do some final clean up, but most of it was already taken care of, which was so nice. Melissa is worth her weight in gold. Aside from being direct, professional, and SO on top of things (project manager traits which I really appreciate), Melissa was also kind, genuine, and made us feel special and cared for. If you don't want a wedding planner because you think you can do it all yourself, or want to save money... at the very least hire Truly Together as coordinators because we consider them the most essential vendor we had.

You can stop scrolling and end your search here. Cassie was everything we needed and more in a wedding planner. Her year's of experience shined through the whole journey. It seemed...
like she was always at least 5 steps ahead. There were zero details missed and her recommendations/suggestions pulled my wedding together. I even had a few vendors cancel on me and before I could even start the search for replacements....she already had lists for me. On the actual big day, our wedding ran SEAMLESSLY. I never had to worry about anything. I had one of the best days of my life and I can't thank Cassie enough for seeing it through. Hire Cassie, you can thank me later.

I cannot speak highly enough of Samantha Been and Cassie Abbot. From the moment we hired them, our wedding planning process became an absolute breeze! Their organization skills are...
truly exceptional, ensuring that every detail was taken care of with meticulous precision. Samantha exuded patience and kindness throughout the entire process, always ready to listen to our concerns and offer guidance with a warm and understanding demeanor.
On the wedding day itself, their incredible attention to detail shone through, making sure everything ran like clockwork. We didn't have to worry about a thing, allowing us to fully enjoy and cherish every moment of our special day.
If you're in search of a wedding planner who will not only meet but exceed your expectations, I wholeheartedly recommend hiring Truly Together. Their expertise, professionalism, and genuine care for their clients make them the perfect choice for creating the wedding of your dreams!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely Exceptional Wedding Coordinator!
We were lucky enough to have Cassie Abbott with Truly Together Event Co as our wedding coordinator, and I can't express just how i...
ncredible her services were. From our very first interaction, we knew we were in good hands.
Cassie Abbott is a true professional with an impeccable eye for detail. She helped us navigate every step of the wedding planning process, from selecting the perfect venue to coordinating with vendors, designing the décor, and ensuring everything ran smoothly on the big day. Her attention to detail with vendors was astounding, making sure every aspect of our wedding was perfect.
Cassie and her team went above and beyond to ensure our daughter's special day was truly magical. She does so many things behind the scenes that we never even thought of. She had the ability to coordinate things that have never been done before with the venue to make our daughter’s wedding what we dreamed it would be. She works seamlessly with the vendors. She has a great relationship with her staff, outside vendors, and clients. This is imperative and she made it look easy! Her creativity and expertise were evident in every aspect of our wedding, and she made our vision come to life even better than we could have imagined.
As someone who loves to plan parties and is a planner by nature, I had high expectations, and Cassie far surpassed them! She is calm, she is reassuring, she is confident and she is more than capable! Communication was always prompt and clear, making us feel well-informed and taken care of. Cassie genuinely cared about making our daughter’s wedding day unforgettable, and she delivered on that promise and then some. Our guests were blown away!
And most importantly, we were able to relax and enjoy every moment, knowing she had everything under control.
If you're looking for a wedding coordinator who is not only highly skilled but also truly passionate about creating magical moments, Cassie is the one. We can't thank her enough for making our daughter’s wedding day the best day of our lives. We highly recommend her to anyone seeking a stress-free and stunning wedding experience!

Our wedding planner Melissa Eagen and her team did an incredible job at our wedding. She executed our vision perfectly! Everything from the signage, to the florals, to the table se...
ttings, and the final touches on the chuppah came together beautifully. She helped us stay on track and made sure everything ran according to plan. We truly felt like we didn't have to worry about anything and could be fully present to enjoy the day.
Not to mention, we are so appreciative of the talented vendors she helped us find, especially our band Uptown Drive—they were amazing! All of our guests kept saying it was the best wedding band they've ever seen. We also appreciate her patience and prompt communication throughout the entire process—she never made us feel like any of our questions were too trivial or unnecessary.
We absolutely loved our day and there's no way we could have pulled it off without Melissa and Truly Together. Thank you for helping us achieve our dream wedding.

When we started our wedding planning journey, we had an interesting non-traditional vision for what we wanted it to be like. It was difficult to find someone who would even enterta...
in the thought of all of our quirky ideas (Kid you not some planners ghosted us). However, the second we had our interview with Cassie, she not only accepted our vision, but wanted to go even further with what makes Keith and Katlyn, K&K!
We knew we wanted to do a retro-gamer aesthetic with tons of puns and nods to our High School sweetheart wedding turned #finallyfitzgerald celebration. Part of that was KNOWING we NEEDED to rent a physical Dance Dance Revolution Arcade Cabinet for our first dance. Did we know how to rent one? No. Were we worried? Yes. Did Cassie literally hunt down an obscure vendor and convince them to buy a DDR Arcade Cabinet, that they ended up adding to their repertoire? Also yes!!! Haha
At every point of the process Cassie was able to focus our vision and make sure it represented us, but didn’t look like a birthday party. It was a tricky balance to strike, but we can safely say her and her team K.Oed it! Every detail was an opportunity to add our K&K story to it and we had an entire army of vendors to work with to execute our shared vision. She was incredibly detail oriented and always jotting things down on her AMAZING ink tablet as we daydreamed of boba tea pearls and breakfast for dinner.
We would recommend Cassie to anyone who is looking for someone who has a non-traditional view of what their wedding should look like.
As for the day of the wedding, Cassie made it effortless and allowed us to be “Truly Together” with our closest friends and family, as well as smuggling us our signature drinks and cocktail hour appetizers. One of our signature drinks were a Moscow Mule, and we found out later that we ran out of ginger beer, and within a moment’s notice her team ran to the store to pick up more without us having to stress!
In sum, Cassie not only executed our vision to perfection, but became a “golden-tier crust” friend to us (IYKYK) with every eye-roll and snarky comment as she wove our story before our eyes. We would not have had it any other way, and hope that you choose to make Cassie and her team your friend too.

We worked with Casey Chambers with the "Wedding Day Management" package, and she was absolutely amazing! She was extremely organized from the start, and our first planning session ...
was very helpful. The forms that they sent kept us on track with hiring vendors and completing our to do list. Closer to the event, Casey's organization and communication skills proved to be even more helpful. She contacted all the vendors, was in constant communication with our venue, and she came to our final walk-through and rehearsal. She knew the exact plan, including the nitty gritty details, the entire time on the actual wedding day. We had so many comments about how smooth the entire wedding was, and it was due to Casey! Would highly recommend over and over again!

We worked with Cassie, the owner of Truly Together Event Co. as our coordinator for our wedding and the only thing we would change is hiring Cassie sooner. She saved us numerous ti...
mes throughout the planning process catching little details and saving us money. Cassie is incredibly professional and friendly, very prompt in her responses and easy to bounce ideas off of.
We elected to do the style & design package along with the coordination package to help us get a better visualization of our ideas and thoughts for the wedding. This ended up making things a lot easier with other vendors like the florist & bakery because we had a visual package to send them that displayed what we were going for.
During the last month leading up to the wedding Cassie relieved so much stress and work off of our plates and helped to keep us on an appropriate timeline being accountable for getting things finished. There is so much that goes into a wedding that we certainly would have missed without her. On the day of everything went insanely smoothly, we were shocked at how perfect everything came together. Driving away from the wedding we looked at each other and simply said we wouldn't have changed a thing and Cassie played the largest part in that being a reality.
She encouraged us to take a private dinner during part of the cocktail hour for some time to ourselves and to make sure we ate, I'm so appreciative as we would not have had time to eat otherwise and it was invaluable for us to have a quiet moment together after the ceremony. I love love to dance and at the reception every time I would start to think, "I should probably get some water" Cassie would pop up with a water for me. She truly took care of us throughout the entire night.
If you are looking for a coordinator I cannot emphasize enough how much I would recommend Cassie and Truly Together Event Co. Thank you so much Cassie!!!

r us, to all the way through the planning process and day-of execution by Casey, they made it easy and it was such a relief to us having experts on our side. Casey and team really made sure we weren't worrying about anything on the day of our wedding and they were so trustworthy to get everything done and solve any issues without us even knowing about them. Plus, the flexibility to go above and beyond on our behalf in times of need. Highly, highly recommend Truly Together Event Co for any wedding or event coordinator, planning, and/or day-of needs!! We loved them!

We hired Casey at Truly Together Event Co. for day-of wedding planning and truly cannot imagine this wedding without her help and guidance. It was extremely important to us that we...
find a planner that we loved, that we trusted, that we knew would keep our wedding on track and also one that knew our venue (Chateau Bellevue) inside and out. Cassie and Casey at TTE fit the bill 100000%. To say we had day-of planning is misleading as I’m pretty sure we tested the limit on the maximum number of questions we could possibly ask Casey in the months leading up to the wedding. :) She was always quick to respond, thorough with her responses and had a special knack for helping me escape the ‘spiraling’ that can sometimes happen with wedding decisions. TTE provides everything you could possibly need to keep yourself organized, find documents that might otherwise be lost in your inbox and helpful tips and tricks (e.g., gratuity recommendations). In addition to keeping us on track in the months leading up to our wedding, Casey made sure the day itself went absolutely perfect and reflected our vision. As an example, she placed blueberries on skewers for all of the guests water glasses so that our tables had one extra pop of our blue color! She had a way of being there any time we needed her while also working in the background to keep things moving so we could focus on our celebration. They tell brides to be prepared for things to go wrong, and I consider myself lucky that nothing did on our wedding day, and I credit that largely to the incredible planning by Casey and her team at TTE. You won’t regret hiring the TTE team (specifically Casey) for your big day!

ding up to the wedding and that they'd assist just on the wedding day really, but we could not have been more wrong!! In the months leading up to the wedding, Melissa met with us and emailed with us to make sure every detail of our wedding was in line with our vision. She asked our vendors questions I never would have thought to ask (but that reduced SO much anxiety), and I felt exciting and confident on our wedding day knowing that we were in great hands with Melissa and the rest of the TTE team. Our wedding day was absolutely magical, and I truly believe that was due to Melissa's creativity, insight, resourcefulness, attention to detail, and overall amazingness!! We cannot thank y'all enough!!!!

When I first got engaged.. I was putting my budget together and thought that hiring a wedding planner was unnecessary. I had no intentions of doing so until I spoke with a friend ...
who urged me to. I found Truly Together CO and was introduced to Melissa. Let me tell you, after the first virtual meeting I had with her... I knew that I needed her expertise. If I am being totally transparent, the main reason I initially went with Truly Together CO was because they were affordable. But once I met Melissa, I knew I made the right decision. From the jump, she was honest and upfront. You could tell she truly wanted to bring my vision to life, although at the time I was not even sure what exactly that was. They provide you with a portal that helps you consider EVERY single thing that could/would happen at a wedding and it allows you to stay very organized throughout the crazy process of planning a wedding. I emailed her constantly throughout the whole process looking for guidance and I always received an answer same day. I never thought twice about much of anything because selfishly.. I knew Melissa would make sure it was handled.
When the wedding weekend finally came, she was on top of EVERYTHING. I had random guests coming up to me complimenting how hard Melissa and her team were working to ensure everything went smooth (she even made sure the groom and I had our drink of choice in hand and all of our stuff was packed away in our cars when it was time to leave).
My wedding was 10 times better than I ever could have dreamed; and I believe I owe 99.9% of that credit to Melissa and Truly Together Co. Without them, I do not believe our wedding day would have been near as beautiful, organized and fun.
If you are on the fence, this is your sign! Hire Truly Together Co for all of your needs, you will not regret it!

I promise that Cassie and the entire Truly Together team are the people you are searching for. For most of us, this one-time event is the most significant event we will ever plan, ...
and we haven't ever done it before. We worked with Cassie and her team for 18 months, planning our wedding. She was exactly who we needed, an intentional, organized, thoughtful human who went above and beyond to include our LGBTQ+ and BIPOC family and friends in a meaningful way.
Cassie helped us facilitate finding a venue, encouraged us through all the negotiations, played everything down to the minute, and even helped my parents understand all the various gratuities on our big day: truly full service! We even asked her team to help us with the rehearsal dinner and welcome party (drinks & desserts!) because they had already made such an impact on our reception; why wouldn't we want their help the whole weekend?!
She helped us and our parents all enjoy the weekend. If anything went wrong, I had no clue; I was too busy dancing and being in the moment. Cassie and her team do exactly that: give you the peace of mind to be present at your wedding.
From what we heard from our other vendors, from DJs to photographers, it is clear that she is fantastic not just to the couple but to everyone she works with.

Fantastic event planner! The one piece of advice I received from anyone I asked when starting to plan our small wedding was "get a planner/day of coordinator". I'm SO happy that I ...
did! Cassie was so communicative, as was Casey, our coordinator. Casey really made everything happen and was so kind and helpful, especially during the moments I felt overwhelmed. Would 100% recommend these awesome ladies!

h I could say it was my fault for being a bridezilla. Melissa hit the ground running right after our first meeting. I’m a project manager professionally and thought I had everything covered. I DID NOT. Melissa thought of so many things I didn’t think of and provided so many suggestions. My wedding day went 100% smoothly all because of her. I cannot recommend her enough.
