    We did not work with Carissa other than our initial meeting as she had another wedding that day. Instead, we worked with one of her employees, Caitlin. Caitlin was excellent from start to finish. We paid for just the day-of services, but it seemed that what Caitlin put into it was so much more.
    We communicated about everything we would need a week before the wedding. Because it was a wedding on private property, we needed someone to set up the tables as we envisioned them. Caitlin completely took care of it.
    She was at the rehearsal dinner. On the day of the wedding, she kept telling me to relax and that she took care of everything, which she did (she even reminded me not to walk down the aisle with hair elastics on my wrists!). At the reception, she was everywhere she needed to be in such an unassuming manner (and we probably don't even know half of what she did). She even cleared some of the table items for us before the wedding was over that she knew we wouldn't want to get damaged by the weather. Caitlin, we cannot thank you enough for making the day/night magical for us!

    Carisa provided day-of-coordination at our wedding and she was fantastic! Extremely responsive, professional, courteous, and flexible. She made sure that everything ran smoothly, and it was so helpful to have a point person for everything. I can't imagine what it would have been like without her, but I'd rather not imagine it. :-)

    Carisa provided day of wedding services for our wedding on 4/18/2015 at the New England carousel museum. My only regret is not hiring her sooner! From start to finish Carisa was nothing but professional and accommodating. She executed our decorations perfectly and the entire day was completely seamless. If anything went wrong, we certainly had no idea. We truly felt like guests at our wedding. We would recommend her without question to anyone throwing an event. Thank you so much for making our wedding better than we knew it could be!

    I worked with Carisa for a year as my full wedding planner. She provided many vendor referrals, decor advice, day of coordination, and she took care of a host of other details throughout the years time. She was consistently quickly responsive every time I reached out to her...She did wonderful work! She never led us wrong and we used many of the vendors she referred us to.


    The venue I utilized had no in house catering, required basically all decor be brought in, and was mostly a blank canvass. This required the coordination of multiple vendors the day of my wedding. Carisa and her assistant were amazing on the day of my wedding! They took care of all my set-up, decor, and take down at the end of the night and everything looked beautiful. I did not have to worry about a thing on my wedding day. In fact, a guest jokingly asked if anything had gone "wrong" or "not according to plan" during my wedding/reception... I had no idea and still don't, if anything did go "wrong" Carisa handled it and I never even found out!

    Carisa was always available, flexible, and easy to work with. Whenever something unexpected came up, she handled it with a positive, "no problem" attitude. She made sure we enjoyed our wedding day without having to worry about all the little details.

    Carisa was WONDERFUL to work with! She was always responsive and prompt. She ensured that the rehearsal was all planned out, as to confirm that the wedding day mass went smoothly.

    We had an outdoor venue and we required assistance with the set up on the day of. Carisa and her assistant couldn't have done it better - it looked more beautiful than I could even imagine it.

    Carisa was cool, calm, and collected the entire reception. When things came up, she quietly came to my husband and I to notify us. She was never in the way, yet was always there when needed.

    Carisa helped pack every last detail up so that all decorations, leftovers, and gifts were packaged nicely for the car ride home.

    I highly recommend Carisa as a coordinator - I cannot stop thinking about what a wonderful experience the entire day was. Everyone leading up to the wedding asked why/how I remained so calm.. and I have to say, it was 100% because of Carisa's professionalism and helpfulness. ♥ I give her an A+!!

    We hired Carisa for a full wedding package - I was working and in school at night and needed help mostly with staying on track and making sure I got everything done on a proper timeline. She did just that! She made sure that I knew how long in advance certain things needed to be handled, helped me compare caterers' proposals, and kept me from getting too overwhelmed with everything else that we had going on. The day of, Carisa couldn't be with us, but she did not abandon... she left us with two of her associates, one that had tons of experience with weddings and they both were a Godsend, helping me deal with a transportation issue, making sure we were fed (since we didn't do much more than glance at our dinners) and keeping things running smoothly. Kyle and I were so grateful that they helped us breakdown (with the aid of the caterers) all of our decorations since our florist was too far away and could not return for the breakdown. I'm a bit of an Type A, and needed control over decisions and my "vision" for what I wanted, but having Carisa there made sure that I had an unbiased opinion to seek out, someone to bounce ideas off of, and to overall keep me from getting overwhelmed. Definitely recommend her!!!!

    Carisa was our wedding coordinator at Laurel View Country Club and we loved working with her! I have to say my favorite thing about working with her was how quickly she responded to emails and phone calls. I had many little questions that were not always very significant, but she still always got back to me within hours or less. She has a laid back attitude which worked great for us. She was also very helpful in making small decisions, and really made our day go exactly how we wanted it to. She did a great job of coordinating with our dj and officiant which also helped the day go very smoothly. It was very clear that she has a lot of experience with weddings. She seemed genuinely excited for us as well, which of course was great!

    Thank you Carisa!!! We absolutely loved our wedding day and planning process with you!

    Carisa was absolutely wonderful! If you're looking for some real peace of mind and want to enjoy your wedding day, please consider giving Carisa a call!

    I had a very "DIY" wedding, but honestly, there is only so much you can do yourself, especially the day of your wedding. I had no idea what was thinking when I thought I could pull off my wedding day without any help of guidance. Although I was intent on saving money where I could, Carisa's services are so worth it and of great value! Highly recommended from this bride :)

    Maxine, her assistant was also wonderful and a huge help. Both ladies truly took over and allowed me to be a "guest" at my own wedding. I had an amazing and unforgettable night :)

    Thank you again, Carisa and Maxine for a job well done!

    If I could give Carissa a 10/10 I would. She was amazing to work with, and I couldn't be happier with her services.

    Before the wedding it was very clear that Carissa was a professional, and really knew how to do her job. It started with a very detailed pre-wedding meeting where she took down all the details of my wedding from start to finish. She even took all of our vendor information and contracts and contacted each of them them individually before the wedding to verify everything with them.

    Also, Carissa came to our rehearsal dinner to help us practice the ceremony, and to collect all of our wedding details for set-up the next day. (mason jars, signs, bottles, table cards, etc).

    Then came our wedding day... and it POURED. We made the last-minute decision to move everything inside, including the bar and cocktail hour. Carissa made that process seem incredibly easy. When we showed up to do our first-look at our venue, the entire place was set up beautifully. Carissa and her assistant were in total control, and made our wedding look amazing.

    I would recommend her for your wedding 100% She is worth every penny (and way more in my opinion). There is nothing like showing up to your wedding, eating, dancing, partying, and then leaving without ever having to worry about anything. That's the service that Carissa ultimately provides, and it's really wonderful for the bride and groom.

    Carisa was more than helpful throughout the entire planning process. She helped to explain everything and was very informative.
    If you have ever planned a wedding it is VERY stressful and Carisa was very quick to respond to the MANY emails/questions I had.
    My wedding day went perfectly all thanks to her!
    I would DEFINITELY recommend CRSocials to anyone who is looking for a reliable, kind and honest company to help out with all your planning needs.

    Thank you again!!!

    Love,
    John & Nicole <3

    I had the extreme pleasure of attaining CR Socials as a wedding planner. Carisa was always available. She was open to suggestion. Her ideas were fresh and welcomed. For any future events, I will have only one name at the top of my list and that will be CR Socials.

    Carisa is such a sweetheart! She was my sounding board, my vendor director, and a source of constant reassurance that my decisions were good throughout the planning process. The day before my wedding, Carisa's assistant (who was supposed to do set-up at the park) got very ill. "No worries" said Carisa. She split her time efficiently between her already scheduled rehearsal dinner and the set-up of my big day. And everything turned out fantastically!!

    I found Carisa through Groupon and it was the best Groupon I have ever purchased. She helped with the rehearsal and the day of but also was there for consultation in the weeks leading up to the wedding. Carisa was extremely professional and made the day run smoother than I could have anticipated. She paid attention to detail and was there for anything I needed. By far the best value of the wedding.

    We hired CR Socials for the rehearsal and "day of." Just knowing that Carisa would be there was a relief and she handled the rehearsal and "day of " details like the pro she is. Each and every moment was accounted for in her timeline and as a MOB who was involved in the process I apprectiated Carisa's expertise and relaxed manner. Her willingness to accommodate the needs of the bride and groom (and me) were also greatly appreciated. On the day of the wedding I was relaxed knowing that Carisa had all the details under control.

    Carisa and her assistant Kat were professional, detail oriented, confident and relaxed. We actually lost count of the number of times we said to ourselves, "Thank God for Carisa."

    We could not have been happier with Carisa's services before,
    during and after the wedding. She handled everything down to the littlest
    detail with the greatest of ease (or so you made it seem) and worked
    with all of our vendors flawlessly. Any problems were handled quickly and efficiently to the point where we didn't even know that there were any.
    Overall having Carisa and her assistants there was the best money that we
    spent and if we had to do it all over again we would hire her right
    from the beginning.

    Carisa, the owner of CRsocials, and her team do an AMAZING job! She is wonderfully detail oriented, personable, and organized, exactly what you want in a wedding coordinator. I took the day of wedding
    coordination package, but trust me, Carisa answered all of my questions, emails, phone calls, way before the BIG day. My husband was at first, hesitant on getting a wedding planner; however, by the time the big day rolled out and he saw how great everything was organized and how amazing everything turned out, he said to me, "Carisa really did a great job"! So ladies and gents, mainly gents, please give your Bride some sanity and hire Carisa for your wedding, you will not regret it! Plus, you will have a very happy, non-crazy Bride as the day quickly approaches! Carisa and her team were great, and such a great value as well. Book her!

    CR socials is EXCELLENT!! Carisa and her team coordinated our wedding effortlessly! It was such a relief to know that Carisa had all of the bases covered when it was the Big Day. Even our vendors commented on how helpful and organized she was leading up to our wedding day! Brides- please do yourself a favor and hire Carisa, her and her team will ensure that you have a beautiful event, so that you can focus on getting married instead of vendor issues!! Organized, detail-oriented, and personable- everything you need in a wedding coordinator (or event coordinator for that matter!) and she will definitely deliver! Money well spent and affordable, even my husband thought she was a great! Her and her team made sure we had a stress-free, special day!

    If you truly want to be a guest at your wedding, do not pass up hiring Carisa. From the first time we met, she accepted some of my not-so-traditional ideas, and was able to refer me to vendors who may offer what I was looking for. She continuously reassured me that our wedding should be done the way we envisioned it, regardless of what others may think.

    As a bride on a budget, I was very hesitant to hire a wedding planner, but Carisa ended up not only taking care of all of the paperwork and coordinating all of the vendors, but her referrals ended up SAVING us money. She was always very, very prompt and seemed to never get annoyed, no matter how many questions I had.

    Our wedding ceremony and reception venue had a planner on site, but knowing Carisa for over a year, I was able to relax on the day of, and not worry about having someone I hardly know take care of the most important details. If you want someone in your corner who you ultimately trust on your wedding day, don't hesitate to hire Carisa.

    I first got in touch with CR Socials when my fiance and I were having trouble locating a unique venue that could fit into a modest budget without sacrificing quality. Carisa came through and identified several options, including the one we would eventually choose. On the wedding day, several of the guests were so impressed with the venue and setting and many of them asked how we even were able to get access to this private site! Carisa was great to work with and helped me stay sane and focused throughout the wedding planning process - even though I hired her just for venue idnetification and day of coordination. And of course, on the day of the wedding, my bridal party and I simply had to relax and get beautified while Carisa and team took care of all the set up and coordination with vendors, final payments, etc. I was so thankful to have the CR Socials team working for me on my wedding day. I would not hesitate to recommend CR Socials to others looking for a little help staying on track, or for full planning services.

    I hired Carisa for the rehearsal/wedding day of package. She was so helpful in organizing everything for our big day. She also did a great job of seting up everything that banquet facilites do not set up for you. I am so glad I hired Carisa, because I knew everything was taken care of and I knew that if I had a last minute problem I could go right to her to resolve it (Which I did!). I would definitely hire her again and would reccommend her to anyone. I will keep her name top on my list if we ever need services she provides again.

    CR Socials Event Planning was one of the best decisions I made in planning my wedding. I planned most of the wedding myself and worked up until 3 days before the wedding. A child hood friend recommended me getting someone to help me in the weeks leading up to make sure I was completely stress free. While my venue helped a lot that day, Carisa from CR Socials made sure I had nothing to worry about. She confirmed all my vendors, made a detailed schedule of the day and made such I had nothing to worry about. It was so important to me that my mom, bridesmaids, maid of honor enjoy the day as well. Carisa is very passionate about what she does and really makes sure you are stress free the day of your wedding. I can't thank CR Socials enough for making my day even more of a fairy tale. I was able to enjoy my wedding and not worry about one thing.
