CCS Events is phenomenal!

I can’t thank Colleen enough for the incredible job she did planning our wedding in less than six months! From the moment we hired her, she was a true professional, taking all the stress off our shoulders and turning our vision into reality. She worked tirelessly to ensure everything was perfect, and I couldn’t be happier with the result.

One of the most memorable touches she added was securing the dream tent I had always envisioned. The tent was absolutely stunning – elegant, spacious, and beautifully decorated. It was the perfect setting for our celebration, and it truly transformed the entire atmosphere of our big day.

Another highlight was the drone footage. Colleen went above and beyond to arrange for a drone to capture the wedding from breathtaking angles. The footage was beyond what we could have imagined, giving us unique memories to look back on for years to come.

She exceeded all expectations and truly made our wedding day unforgettable. If you’re looking for a wedding planner who is organized, creative, and dedicated, I wholeheartedly recommend Colleen!

The best in the biz!!

In addition to her 20+ years of wedding planning experience, Colleen will be your confidant, shoulder to laugh (or cry) on, your biggest cheerleader and will help you save money with other vendors. Book her from the very start (before you start planning) and you won't regret it. Our wedding day was so seamless and it was all thanks to her! She's the best of the best and I highly recommend her to other brides in the Richmond and Charlottesville area(s).

AMAZING Wedding Planner

CCS Events is AMAZING.

I was referred to Colleen by a family member who had used her. I had no idea how to plan a wedding, all I came to Colleen with was a million ideas in my head and a color palette I loved. From the venue, the flowers, the welcome drinks, the ceremony, the after party - she was there to help bring my vision to life. We had a few hiccups with vendors and she was able to rectify the issue within a few hours...her response time is IMPECCABLE. She has amazing working relationships with local vendors that helped create a seamless day.

I am forever thankful to Colleen & her team for making my vision and dreams come to life. Thanks to her it was the most PERFECT Day!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
