Working with Deanna and her team was simply a wonderful experience! From beginning to end, Deanna kept us on track and organized all while being kind and a pleasure to work with. Additionally, Deanna was on top of all of the little details on the day of so that we could be stress free and enjoy the day. I would highly recommend Ciao Bella to anyone getting married in the NJ area :)

From the very beginning, Deanna and I instantly connected, and I was so happy to have the opportunity to work with her. Hiring Deanna — along with her amazing assistant Erica — was hands down one of the best decisions we made for our wedding.

Deanna ensured everything ran smoothly from start to finish. She reviewed all of our vendor contracts, built and managed the timelines, handled time management flawlessly, and truly made our entire wedding day completely stress-free. Our day went off without a single hitch, and that is 100% because of her and her team.


Both Deanna and Erica are beyond sweet, calm, organized, and such a pleasure to work with. They made us feel so supported the entire time. My mom even said, “I don’t know what we would have done without Deanna,” which says it all.

I truly could not recommend Deanna and her team more. Anyone who says you don’t need a wedding coordinator is lying — you absolutely do, and Deanna is the one you want.

We highly recommend Deanna and her team at Ciao Bella Events as your wedding planner!! We couldn’t believe how everything matched our vision, or honestly was even better than we could’ve imagined. I’m a very organized and involved person, so I honestly never thought I’d be able to be fully relaxed on my wedding day. But I couldn’t have been more relaxed, comfortable, and completely present and in the moment- and I attest my ability to be able to do that all to Deanna. From the early planning stages, to executing the day, and everything in between, she was on top of everything and it was such a gift to be able to go into our day knowing it was in the BEST hands. We can’t recommend Deanna enough, we’re seriously so lucky to have had her as our planner!

Working alongside Deanna at Ciao Bella Events has been nothing short of amazing. She is the definition of calm, collected, and completely in control, no matter what the day throws at her. Her attention to detail, creativity, and ability to bring a couple's vision to life is truly something special.

She works tirelessly around the clock, making sure every single detail is handled and every logistic is tied up well before the big day. Nothing is left to chance, and it shows.

Every wedding I've seen her plan runs like clockwork. From the big picture to the tiniest touches, she ensures everything is perfectly executed, and she does it all with grace and professionalism. Her couples absolutely love her, and it's easy to see why.

If you're looking for someone who will make your day feel effortless and unforgettable, book her. You’ll be in the best hands possible!

Book Deanna and her team! At the start of our wedding planning journey, we weren’t sure if we would hire a coordinator. Looking back, I wish we had brought her on as our full-time planner. She was absolutely amazing, organized, attentive, and always on top of every detail. She truly listened to us and made sure our day flowed seamlessly. I can’t even imagine all the chaos she managed behind the scenes, keeping it completely away from us so we could just enjoy the moment. My husband even called her our guardian angel. All of our friends commented on how she was the best coordinator they have ever worked with. Do yourself a favor and book Deanna, you will be so grateful you did!

We are so grateful we had Deanna from Ciao Bella Events as our day-of coordinator! From the weeks leading up to the wedding through the entire celebration, she was truly amazing.

Deanna went above and beyond to keep us organized — collecting contracts, setting up meetings with vendors, and staying on top of every detail. She acted as our advocate with vendors and venues, making sure everything went smoothly and that our vision was always respected. Having her assist with all the communication and scheduling in those final weeks truly saved my sanity and allowed me to go into the day calm, collected, and fully present.

On the wedding day itself, Deanna kept everything running calmly and on schedule. She brought such a positive attitude and was so kind and respectful to our families and bridal party, which made the whole day feel effortless and joyful. Knowing she was there to handle the details gave us the peace of mind to focus entirely on celebrating with our loved ones.

I cannot recommend Deanna and Ciao Bella Coordination enough! She made the biggest difference in helping us enjoy the day exactly how we imagined it.

Working with Deanna was the best decision we made. She is very accommodating and allowed us to enjoy our day without having to worry about the little things that can pop up during the wedding day. We cannot thank her enough.

I never had to worry about what was going on behind the scenes because I knew Deanna had it all under control.

Leading up to the day, she was always available to answer my many questions, offer advice, and was a true source of support whenever I felt overwhelmed or stressed.

So many of our guests commented on how well-organized and effortless the day felt, and that’s 100% because of her. Ciao Bella Events played such an essential role in making our wedding feel magical, meaningful, and unforgettable.

If you’re looking for someone who will bring calm, clarity, and care to one of the most important days of your life, I can’t recommend Deanna and Ciao Bella Events enough.

Hiring Ciao Bella Events was hands-down one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. While she was technically our day-of coordinator, she jumped in two months before the wedding and became so much more than that. From the moment she stepped in, she brought order, clarity, and calm to what had felt like total chaos.

She kept me organized, helped me prioritize, and made sure absolutely nothing fell through the cracks. On the actual wedding day, she was a total rockstar—handling everything behind the scenes so flawlessly that I didn’t have to worry about a single thing. I got to be present and actually enjoy my wedding knowing she had it all under control.

She has the perfect mix of professionalism, warmth, and “get-it-done” energy that every bride needs. I truly don’t know how I would’ve pulled it all off without her. If you’re on the fence—hire her. You’ll be thanking yourself every step of the way.

I don't know where to even begin. Before getting engaged, I had attended multiple weddings where Ciao Bella Events was involved in wedding coordination/planning, and everything was perfect and ran so smoothly. When my time came, I knew that I was going to need guidance throughout this process, so I reached out to CBE and thankfully they had my wedding date available. During our initial call, Deanna left no stone unturned. She provided us with all the tools necessary to make this process much less daunting. I could tell from our call that she wanted to make sure that every detail was perfect for our special day. She provided us with a wedding website which covered every detail you could think including everything from a budget planner, a monthly wedding details checklist, to a day-of schedule. This website was crucial in helping me stay organized. Outside of the website, Deanna went the extra mile for us throughout our wedding planning, suggesting vendors that worked for our budget or who would be a good fit to execute our vision. We began working together more frequently 2 months leading into the wedding. Her impeccable communication with us, every vendor and our venue was seamless. If any issues arose, she found a way to help us navigate them and offered insight which was always appreciated. For someone who is very Type A, for once I felt like I could really just relax and trust that everything would work out perfectly and it did. On our wedding day, I had not one worry because I knew Deanna would do whatever she could to make it work. Her assistant Linda who I had the pleasure of meeting day of also went above and beyond and was meticulous in her work. I truly believe that our wedding would have not been as beautiful and smooth as it was if it wasn't for the collaborative efforts of Deanna and Linda. If you or anyone else are in search for a wedding planner, CBE should be your first (and only) stop!
