My husband and I adored Carol and the CCL team. We hired Carol as our month of planner, but her services definitely extended further in helping us keep things together. She was so on top of everything for our wedding and was there to help us walk through anything we needed. She was able to give us amazing recommendations for our photo booth, makeup, and DJ all of which we loved. Carol was such a great support system especially the week and day of which of course is the most hectic time. She kept a cool head and a positive attitude the entire time even when there were a bunch of last minute changes. Everything went off without a hitch but at no point did we feel like we were on a tight or strict schedule. There was always room for us to actually enjoy our wedding which really made the night perfect. I don't think I could have done this wedding without CCL

Planning a wedding during lockdown can be very stressful without the right support and guidance. Cat was very supportive and attentive from the start addressing our needs and concerns with our destination wedding. Her experience in the industry was very helpful when it came to choosing our vendors as she gave us many options.

We hired CCL to plan our destination wedding week (3 events). We knew that we would need a top-tier team because we wouldn’t be able to commit as much time to wedding planning due to work, so hiring a wedding planner was the first thing on our list after we got engaged. We interviewed a few other planners, but Cat and Carren were a dream to work with from the very first call. We were excited after reviewing their portfolio—they have a ton of experience and really specialize in highlighting the uniqueness of the couple and making events feel very personal, which is always my favorite part of a wedding! You should check out the beautiful weddings on their website if you haven’t already.

We really could not have asked for more in a planning team: Cat and Carren are incredibly patient, organized, creative, and really know their stuff. They are supportive, responsive, and great at researching, and they expertly managed communications with our potential and actual vendors. They had every base covered and taught us so much along the way—the depth of their knowledge is truly impressive and you will get the benefit of that if you hire them. They were able to advise on the more technical aspects of a wedding in addition to design, wording, the latest trends, managing tricky issues with guests, etc. They were direct and honest throughout the process, and we really valued their insights and suggestions but they were never pushy about it. And on top of all of the planning and coordinating duties, they always had a listening ear. The level of care and detail they give to their weddings is unbelievable. We were especially impressed with them during the week-of, as they wrangled our wedding party and handled all of the last minute bumps with grace and confidence. This is a team you can trust to get things done.

A tip to the engaged couples: looking back on the experience, it honestly made ALL the difference to know that we could rely on them completely and that they would be able to handle anything that came up. Because of how organized and prepared they were, we had very little to do in the weeks leading up to the wedding and were able to focus on celebrating during the week-of. Amazing! If you are looking for planners that you can trust to have your back and guide you through what can be a very stressful time for most people, you NEED to hire CCL. My husband and I constantly said throughout the process (and even now, tbh) that they were the best wedding-related decision we made. Because of them, each of our guests told us it was the best wedding they had ever been to and by the end of our wedding week, they were all members of the Cat and Carren fan club too.
