Blown Away

My husband and I adored Carol and the CCL team. We hired Carol as our month of planner, but her services definitely extended further in helping us keep things together. She was so on top of everything for our wedding and was there to help us walk through anything we needed. She was able to give us amazing recommendations for our photo booth, makeup, and DJ all of which we loved. Carol was such a great support system especially the week and day of which of course is the most hectic time. She kept a cool head and a positive attitude the entire time even when there were a bunch of last minute changes. Everything went off without a hitch but at no point did we feel like we were on a tight or strict schedule. There was always room for us to actually enjoy our wedding which really made the night perfect. I don't think I could have done this wedding without CCL

The best wedding team ever

I am SO happy I worked with CCL Weddings to help plan my wedding! I worked with Cat and Bethany, and they made everything so easy and seamless! They were both on top of all of the small details, and they made sure we were always on track! They even thought of the MOST creative seat installation for us! My husband and I are into escape rooms, so CCL thought of a beautiful backdrop with little puzzles to give our guests to solve to get their seats! It was such a hit with our guests!!!

Cat was even able to smoothly navigate through all of the minor bumps that came along. The actual wedding day was perfect, and I was not stressed at all! I was able to enjoy my wedding day and soak in all of the special moments! I cannot recommend them enough!!!

We love Carol!

Our wedding day went as smoothly as it did because of Carol. She was on top of everything and made sure we were stress-free on the big day. Carol’s professional yet friendly personality made it seem like we were working with our longtime friend throughout the planning process. Would definitely recommend her if you’re looking for a month of planner!

Carol truly made our day perfect

My husband and I first met Carol about a year before our wedding. She made use feel at ease and supported throughout the entire process. Carol left no stone unturned when it came to making our wedding a day to remember. She had a clear check list that kept us on track. She thought of important details for the day we never thought to consider. Most importantly, she made sure my husband and I were stress free on our wedding day. She made sure we focused on enjoying the day and spending time with our guests. We were so lucky to find CCL and in particular Carol. I have recommended her to anyone planning an event. I know who to call if I every need event planning in the future. Do yourself a huge favor and call CCL.

Best wedding planner ever.

We worked with Carol from CCL and she was a dream. She made the day so special and anticipated any issues or problems before they even came up. We couldn’t have done it without her and recommend Carol wholeheartedly to anyone!

The Best of the Best

Planning a wedding during lockdown can be very stressful without the right support and guidance. Cat was very supportive and attentive from the start addressing our needs and concerns with our destination wedding. Her experience in the industry was very helpful when it came to choosing our vendors as she gave us many options.

The best experience we could have possibly hoped for!

We hired CCL to plan our destination wedding week (3 events). We knew that we would need a top-tier team because we wouldn’t be able to commit as much time to wedding planning due to work, so hiring a wedding planner was the first thing on our list after we got engaged. We interviewed a few other planners, but Cat and Carren were a dream to work with from the very first call. We were excited after reviewing their portfolio—they have a ton of experience and really specialize in highlighting the uniqueness of the couple and making events feel very personal, which is always my favorite part of a wedding! You should check out the beautiful weddings on their website if you haven’t already.

We really could not have asked for more in a planning team: Cat and Carren are incredibly patient, organized, creative, and really know their stuff. They are supportive, responsive, and great at researching, and they expertly managed communications with our potential and actual vendors. They had every base covered and taught us so much along the way—the depth of their knowledge is truly impressive and you will get the benefit of that if you hire them. They were able to advise on the more technical aspects of a wedding in addition to design, wording, the latest trends, managing tricky issues with guests, etc. They were direct and honest throughout the process, and we really valued their insights and suggestions but they were never pushy about it. And on top of all of the planning and coordinating duties, they always had a listening ear. The level of care and detail they give to their weddings is unbelievable. We were especially impressed with them during the week-of, as they wrangled our wedding party and handled all of the last minute bumps with grace and confidence. This is a team you can trust to get things done.

A tip to the engaged couples: looking back on the experience, it honestly made ALL the difference to know that we could rely on them completely and that they would be able to handle anything that came up. Because of how organized and prepared they were, we had very little to do in the weeks leading up to the wedding and were able to focus on celebrating during the week-of. Amazing! If you are looking for planners that you can trust to have your back and guide you through what can be a very stressful time for most people, you NEED to hire CCL. My husband and I constantly said throughout the process (and even now, tbh) that they were the best wedding-related decision we made. Because of them, each of our guests told us it was the best wedding they had ever been to and by the end of our wedding week, they were all members of the Cat and Carren fan club too.

DREAM Wedding and Team

Cat and her team were so amazing to work with. They were extremely responsive and was able to get us everything that we could've asked for AND MORE. They took what we rambled about and made it into a cohesive, stunning, and dreamy wedding for both us and our guests. I trusted them fully with the design and organization/planning of the wedding. She had so many great recommendations and had many connections in the vendor space, which I fully used and loved. We couldn't have asked for a better team, truly. I am still so so happy with how the planning went and how smoothly the evening played out. We literally had so much fun at our wedding and did not feel stressed about what we needed to do-- we just ate, danced, and admired everything. Would 100% recommend them for any couple looking for a creative, responsive, and overall kind and fun team.

Thank you CLL & Carol for making our wedding planning journey a dream!

We had truly the wedding of our dreams, and it wouldn't have been possible without the CCL team. Thank you especially to Carol who worked with us and made us feel super assured throughout the wedding planning process, and made the event-day 100% stress-free and seamless for us. Our guests are still talking about how every segment of the night flowed flawlessly into the next, which is all to Carol and her team's credit.

Thank you again, we are forever grateful.

Best Wedding Planner Ever!

Catherine and the CCL team was so amazing. I personally have been in my share of weddings and I can say without a doubt that Cat and her team provides the best service, really truly cares about our special day and overall happiness. As a guy, I never thought I would need a wedding planner because I thought it would be easy. Boy, I have never been so wrong in my life. Without the CCL team, our day wouldn't have come together and I would have missed out on one of the best moments of my life. If you are on the fence or even slightly considering, just do it. I promise you that you won't regret it and it will be worth every penny.

If you do decide to go with another planner or no planner at all, just remember this post because you will be coming to read this when you regret it.

Let the CCL team handle all your wedding planning and make your bride's dream come true.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

Catherine and her team are fantastic and was a complete joy to work with! They not only designed and styled a ridiculously gorgeous wedding at the Montage (March 2012), but were very professional and kept everything moving smoothly and on time. What we most enjoyed about them was the fact that even with a strict schedule, her team kept so cool and we as photographers never felt stressed for time. We could also tell that they worked really hard to please their brides and all the vendors and it made for such a pleasant night. We definitely recommend hiring her as your next wedding coordinator because we know it'll turn out gorgeous, unique, and perfectly tailored to make you happy!
