10/10 recommend!

Catherine and her team were truly a godsend. Catherine was as professional, responsive, patient, organized, and proactive as I could have asked for. I had read excellent reviews of her, but she and her team exceeded my expectations going into the planning process. Catherine and her team were true partners: they listened to my vision and preferences, provided advice, and were receptive to feedback and last-minute changes. From helping me find a great boutique for my dress, to sourcing, booking and communicating with vendors, Catherine somehow flexibly juggled hundreds of details (including my multiple-a-day questions for months) and executed a truly flawless wedding day. Knowing our wedding was in great hands, my husband and I were able to move through the day with a lot of peace and focus on each other, the wedding and our guests. We also had multiple guests tell us later how helpful the team was to them during the day. We are grateful beyond words for Boizelle Affairs and unreservedly recommend them to all brides!

There is NO ONE better!!!

Boizelle Affaires was hands down the best decision we made for our wedding. Sarah was an incredible joy to work with and seamlessly incorporated all the things we wanted into our wedding. She is kind, compassionate, and truly cared about making our day everything we imagined. It would not have been the amazing day it was without her.

Sarah gave so much attention to the details of the event and all the things we wanted. She followed up with me persistently when I needed it to ensure she could make it happen for us! She also managed communications with all the vendors so professionally. Multiple vendors came back to me commenting on how professional and kind and “on top of it” she was. She handled all obstacles with poise and grace - from timeline adjustments to unresponsive vendors. She is an amazing planner and person and we are eternally grateful for her!

Sarah and Catherine together, facilitated the best day of our lives. They handled everything in the background so that we could just enjoy the day to the fullest and soak it all in. We would recommend them to absolutely anyone!

Boizelle Affaires delivers superior attention to detail, communication, elegance, and hospitality

Choosing to work with Boizelle Affaires was the best decision we made in the wedding planning process, hands down.

Crafting the perfect timeline is a science, but orchestrating all of the vendors, venues, people, and inevitable day-of surprises to deliver an exceptional wedding day experience is an art. With expert communication, planning, and poise, Boizelle Affaires excelled in all areas to make the day of our dreams a seamless experience for us and our loved ones.

As a business owner and CEO I love planning, and knew it would be hard to trust someone to take over the reins and run the day the way I would. From day one, Catherine demonstrated her initiative, understanding of our vision, ability to communicate effectively, and expertise in navigating every detail with poise and precision. It instilled so much confidence and let us truly trust in her to take the reins in the last two months and on the day of the wedding to make it what we wanted, and she absolutely delivered!

Catherine and her team delivered an elevated experience of hospitality and enjoyment for our guests. Weeks after the wedding, everyone is still raving about what an incredible day it was from start to finish, and how smoothly the celebration unfolded!

Being fully present and savoring every moment of the wedding day without a worry in the world was an absolutely priceless gift. We are so grateful to the exceptional Boizelle Affaires team for making the day everything we dreamed and handling every detail so that our only jobs on our Wedding Day were to say I Do and enjoy every moment!
