Cms is the best!

Felicia’s experience, dedication, and genuine care for her clients sets CMS apart from all the others! We used CMS for Month of Planning at a luxury venue in Virginia and we’re able to enjoy our perfect day while our planning team handled all of the details. Even with Month of Planning, Felicia stepped in nearly a full year prior to the wedding to assist in vendor selections, contract review, and helping guide us through the many stages of planning a luxury wedding. I cannot thank Felicia and her team enough for the superb work and for being so incredible to work with. We will miss you and wish you all the best!

Felicia and here team are the best!!!

My gosh, Felicia, we are so thankful that we hired you and your team! From the video planning calls every month to email check ins, to the checklist, to the actual day of coordination, and everything in between - YOU WERE AMAZING! Everyone that knows me knows that I am not a very organized person and you seriously helped us so much! You kept us on track with the planning, gave subtle reminders, and gave us great vendor suggestions and advice throughout the whole process! On the day of, you took all of the planning and set up stress off of our chests and you and your team set up the venue with my exact vision in mind!!! You were so attentive and helpful throughout the day and always had a smile on your face and positive energy that came with you. You kept the timeline going and checked in with all of the other vendors so that we did not have to worry about literally anything. We really could not say enough nice things about you and your team and could not thank you enough. Best decision we made in the planning process was to hire you!!! THANK YOU!!!!
