Miss america for the win

I hired Caressa before my husband had even proposed to me.
She’s extremely responsive and treated me like a top priority every single time I texted her. I was never “looking” for her. At the beginning, she kept me on a strict timeline, making sure we nailed down a venue ASAP so I could get those Save the Dates out right away. She also kept me on schedule at the end. And in the middle, she let me do my own thing at my discretion. I had the NYC rooftop wedding of my DREAMS planned in under 8 months.
I’m a VERY hands on bride. And honestly, I love doing most of the stuff my self which worked out great since I was in NY and she’s out of Virginia. But when I was stumped or needed help, Caressa was there to problem-solve immediately. Having a long distance wedding planner was never an issue. I will say, there wasn’t too much warm and fuzziness; no elaborate vision board to hang on my wall. But know that on game day, IT’S ON. She ain’t throwin no punches. When she showed up, she got to work immediately. And I literally had to worry about….NOTHING. All the logistics were taken care of. My stress level was a 2 at most. Everything ran so smoothly like a dream. Did I know that two of the groomsmen didn’t show up to the rehearsal? Nope. That the boys forgot the ring? Nope. That the flower arches fell over before I got there? Nope. God only knows what else happened. She didn’t worry me about it. She just HANDLED it. She made sure I ate. She made sure everything was ON TIME. My wedding felt like a Broadway production. Caressa was the stage manager. I would hire her again.

Unreal amounts of perfection

I cannot say enough how much I recommend Caressa. We moved across the country early into wedding planning and she made it so easy to plan a wedding from the other side of the states. Her vendor recs were PERFECT. All of our vendors had worked together before and knew eachother and it was such an effortless day for us. Any stress I had during the engagement she melted away with her in depth knowledge of the wedding industry and reassurance that it would all be perfect and it was. I also wanted to add, she has the best memory of anyone I’ve met. I mentioned things in passing that i think would be cool over a year before our wedding and the day comes and she incorporated it. An unreal experience we are so thankful for her.

Exceptional experience throughout the process!

My experience working with Caressa is truly unmatched. She was there for us every step of the way going above and beyond. It was so valuable to have her input and to be able to leverage her network of vendors knowing we were working with a trusted team. This took so much stress off of us and truly allowed us to just enjoy our special day. There was no detail that was forgotten, big or small, and she kept everyone on time. She wore so many hats throughout the planning and on the day of the wedding, and I even had groomsmen that were so complimentary of her organization and assistance (we all know how hard it can be to wrangle up a group of groomsmen!). She made such a wonderful impact not only on us as the couple getting married, but was so kind in assisting any family member, bridal party member, vendor, and wedding guest with anything that was asked of her (even those outside her job description). We were so lucky to have her a part of our entire wedding experience. I will certainly be leveraging Caressa again for future event planning needs!
