AOE is the best!

Cari and her team were the best money we spent during our wedding- we are still talking about how amazing her and her teams organization was a month after our big day. Cari made our day completely seamless and truly we had no worries during our wedding either. We are so grateful for her guidance in the wedding planning process and truly could not recommend her enough.

Cari is incredible!

Cari was absolutely amazing to work with. She served as a month-of and day-of coordinator for our wedding and was incredibly organized, responsive, and insightful. Cari was also so kind and thoughtful, and handled every challenege that arose so that I didn't have to worry about them. We had to pivot to a new wedding venue two days before the wedding due to wildfires in the area and Cari was a miracle worker. She took care of all the logistics, coordination, and communication with both the new and original venue and all the vendors within a day. No detail was left behind and there were no signs of all the last minute hussling that had to happen on the wedding day. I'm so grateful that we had Cari to help us navigate this and would recommend her to anyone.

Cari is amazing

Cari is the absolute best and she got us so prepared for our wedding! From phone calls and emails to in-person meetings, she put us so at ease and helped so much. Every time we spoke with her, we felt less stressed and more excited. Even through personal matters, she communicated well and kept everything going smoothly. We could not recommend her and the AOE team enough. Truly made us have the most beautiful and fun wedding we could only dream of having. Thank you again, Cari!!!

Hiring Cari was the best decision we made for our wedding!

Hiring Cari as our month-of coordinator was the best decision we made for our wedding! She handled everything with grace and ensured our big day went off without a hitch. Her expertise in the wedding industry and at our venue specifically was evident from day one. She knew the ins and outs of the space, suggesting functional decor ideas and seamlessly coordinating with all our vendors. Every question we had, she had an answer for—her knowledge and experience truly put us at ease.

What impressed us most was her collaborative spirit. She listened attentively to our ideas and preferences, working tirelessly to bring our vision to life while offering valuable suggestions along the way. Her approachability made communication effortless, and her compassionate demeanor made us feel like our wedding was as important to her as it was to us.

We can't thank Cari and her team enough for making our wedding day not only beautiful but also stress-free. Her dedication and professionalism exceeded our expectations, and we wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone planning their special day!

Incredibly helpful and supportive!

Cari and her team were so helpful for our big day! We hired Cari's team for Day of Coordination + Ceremony Coordination, but she was always available for questions and suggestions throughout the wedding planning process. We met with Cari about a month or so before the big day, and went through every single detail for our wedding, leaving us comfortable and confident to leave the details for our big day in her team's hands.

We had a couple of hiccups from other vendors on our big day, and Cari's team handled the issues seamlessly. They went above and beyond to make sure that we and our guests were comfortable the whole night. We cannot thank Cari and her team enough for everything they did to help us have the most memorable day ever! We highly recommend All Occasions Event Planning!

Such a pleasure to work with

Looking back at our wedding and how everything went so perfectly, I can’t help but think about Cari from All Occasions Events and her assistants on the day of our wedding. Everything went according to the timeline she provided and she made us feel so comfortable and confident leaving the day in her hands. She went over every detail with us before the wedding to ensure that everything would be set exactly the way we imagined it would be. Cari truly went above and beyond making sure the day went to plan and created minor touches that we didn’t even think of like setting the extra photos in nooks around the venue. When the spot we chose to take photos with guests before the reception turned too dark, she helped us set up a new spot with great lighting for us to capture those photos with all of our guests. Cari was truly a pleasure to work with, and we thank her from the bottom of our hearts for making our wedding as perfect as possible.

Ran the show like clockwork

Cari was phenomenal. We utilized her services mainly for the last month of planning and day of event. She was short-staffed and had to run the event by herself but she just buzzed around getting stuff handled. Truly appreciatd her support - especially when it came to cutting the train of my dress! She didn't bat an eye :)

Cari is the best!

Cari is an awesome coordinator! She's been doing this forever, and absolutely lived up to the hype (she deserves those 5 stars on over 100 reviews..!) She was so helpful from the very beginning and is extremely easy to reach out to, even when its months before the wedding. I was able to show up to the wedding stress free and have total confidence that Cari would run everything smoothly. Literally everything was perfect from start to finish. She got all of the decor items and other belongings back to their respective owners. My husband and I, as well as both sets of our parents were so thankful to have her running the show on our big day.

Best coordinator!

If you’re looking for a wedding coordinator you found her! Cari was absolutely incredible and made our wedding day so flawless for my husband and I. During the time of wedding planning she was there any time I needed her and helped me with literally anything I needed. She pays great attention to detail and truly is a sweetheart to work with. I could not have picked anyone better.

Wedding Coordinator

If you are looking for a wedding coordinator, look no further. Cari was fantastic to work with and her attention to detail is wonderful. I have worked with many professionals in my career and Cari is top notch. She planned all the details for our daughter's wedding. On the day of the wedding, she handled issues that came up with our venue. As the mother of the bride, I was able to enjoy the ceremony and know that everything was taken care of. I would highly recommend Cari and her team as a wedding coordinator. You will be very happy that you hired her. Our daughter had her dream wedding and Cari helped make that happen. Thank you so much Cari. Deborah Gabriel

I just recently had an opportunity to work with Cari, as a Day-Of coordinator, and I have to say... she went above and beyond her duties. It was an absolute pleasure to work with her. She was professional and efficient in every way. She communicated with us ahead of time and reached out to us throughout the last few days of the planning process to make sure everything went "just right." I know our customers were very pleased with her. I couldn't ask for a better job from a coordinator. It's my honor to endorse Cari Izaguirre of All Occasions Event Planning and I look forward to working with her again and again in the future.
