There is no budget too low - let me work with you to ensure that you are not overwhelmed.

Testimonials:
"Thank you so much for all of your help with my housewarming party. You did a great job and it was a nice feeling to know I could count on you for great ideas and lots of support throughout the planning process and on the day of the event. Thanks again!" - Holly Pullano, North Haven, CT

"CR Socials recently assisted to plan my wedding. I live in Arizona and my wedding took place in Connecticut. So having local CT assistance was key! The owner and operator, Carisa, is professional, organized and always put my needs and desires first. I highly recommend using the services provided by CR Socials for your next party, event or wedding." - Karin Frodel, Tucson, AZ

"I just want to thank you for helping me organize my party on such short notice. Good luck to you and your new endeavor." - Lourdes Nuzzo, West Haven, CT

"The party was a great success. I've gotten nothing but praise, and quite a few people praised "that party organizer"! I couldn't have done it without you, and you really accomplished my vision. Thanks for a job well done". - Dr. Christina Zito, Woodbridge, CT

"Planning a party or an event can be stressful. I'm not one to delegate as I feel nobody can do it better then me, until I met Carisa Ruocco a several months ago. I have been working with CR Socials in planning a fund raising event to benefit Master's Manna of Wallingford for July 27, 2008, which is a Motorcycle Ride. I didn't have a clue. Carisa is handling every detail with ease. She amazes me with her bubbly outgoing personality, which is contagious by the way. She doesn't seem to get upset about anything, when something disappointing arrives she just moves on to plan B. She is organized, makes great suggestions and gives you a lot of options. I'm truly impressed with her talents. After this experience I can't imagine ever planning a simple birthday party without her." - Rosemary Barbieri, The Real Estate Ingredient, Wallingford, CT

"Carisa planned me such an excellent party. My guests and I could not have been happier. She handled everything in such a timely fashion. I would definitely use her again!" - Laura, Hamden, CT

"Carisa did such a great job, relieving the stress of planning a party. She was so helpful, with suggestions and solutions. I am so glad that she took care of the multitude of phone calls, food details, and rentals that I was just too busy to deal with. Carisa was very pleasant to work with, and would work with her again." Amy Arnold, Middletown, CT

1. Do you provide a contract?
Yes, I provide a contract that states the date and time of the event, and it is accompanied by the list of services to be provided, which is considered part of the contract.

2. Can you work within my budget?
I do my absolute best to accommodate each client’s personal budget, and have been successful thus far.

I always bring one assistant with me and there is never an extra charge. In addition, I work with the vendors to ensure that your wedding day is perfect.

If you would like me to be, yes.
