Absolutely Amazing to Work With!

Candice and her team did an amazing job from start to finish, keeping us on track with all deadlines, assisting with any and all issues which arose, and always being a call or text away for any questions throughout the planning process. We can't thank her enough for the absolutely wonderful job she did in bringing our vision to life and making it our best day ever. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for the best destination wedding planner and designer in the business!

Outstanding Designer & Planner

I have worked with CM Events & Design several times over the years. I would absolutely recommend her to couples searching for a high end planner. She personalizes each wedding to the client’s taste, while infusing her signature modern lux style. She is very organized so her events are executed flawlessly. If you are in search of a designer with impeccable taste, definitely reach out to CM Events & Design.

Can’t recommend enough!

This review is long overdue but I can not recommend CM events enough! My wedding was nearly two years ago and I am still in awe of the way Candice and her team were able to pull every little detail together and go above and beyond for us.
Even though we only had roughly 3 months to plan the event, Candice made the process as seamless as possible. As neurotic type A bride that wants to control every detail but is also indecisive ( aka wedding planners nightmare), Candice was able to guide me in the right direction and ensure a cohesive overall look of the event.
More importantly, I never had to wait more than a a few hours to hear back from her and we spent countless hours on the phone going over details. Despite planning a destination wedding at a venue I have not yet seen in real life, I always felt 100% confident that Candice will execute my vision perfectly. Candice and her team truly take pride in their work and my only regret is not hiring them the second I set a wedding date.

CM events also made sure the wedding day went smoothly as well- I was able to fully enjoy myself and didn’t have to worry about a thing. At the end of the night, I vividly remember taking in all of the beauty around me and I couldn’t believe how PERFECT and thought out every little detail was. It was above and beyond what I could have envisioned. My wedding truly felt like a dream and I can’t thank CM events enough for making that happen!

Classy, chic, and heart-filled

CM Events & Design elevated our wedding aesthetic beyond our wildest dreams! My husband and I are down-to-earth people with an appreciation for beauty but we are in no way designers, ourselves. CM Events & Design took our ideas and created a wedding celebration that looked and felt classy, refined, and posh. I didn't cry at our church ceremony but upon walking into our reception space, I was brought to tears at how stunning it looked.

Working with CM Events & Design was easy and organized--they gave us a timeline and checklist to keep us on-track. Communication was open and readily-available; the team is eager to help. They have a natural level of good taste and refinement which translated into a dream wedding for my husband and I and our guests.

The day-of our wedding flowed seamlessly. CM Events & Design Team really handles everything so you can just enjoy the day. Their personalities are warm and confident--they gave us the experience of truly being taken care of so that we could relax and enjoy ourselves!

I can't recommend CM Events & Designs enough. Our wedding looked simply elegant, everything flowed smoothly, and they were organized, knowledgeable, and experienced enough to handle any questions with grace and ease. I am so thankful to have had them be our wedding planners!

Candice and Briana are the dream team!! Two amazing people whose main objective is to make sure you are 100% satisfied. And they did not disappoint!! Our wedding was an absolute dream. I felt confident I could trust them in bringing our vision to life and they went above and beyond. Not only do they have an eye for design, but they were so professional and handled everything with ease. I felt completely relaxed on my wedding day all thanks to them! They helped me with every step in the planning process and I am extremely grateful for them. I would recommend them if you want a unique and one-of-a-kind destination or local wedding!!

Happy Bride

Candice and her team were excellent professionals with full-service planning and trendy ideas to maximize your day. I was able to have a classic wedding at a beautiful vineyard, while staying in my budget. Candice is well informed about all policies and procedures and was very involved in site visits, tastings with catering and the hair/make up trials. She puts your happiness on your special day at the forefront of the planning experience. The entire time I was able to continue my busy work schedule and even move into a new home because I had Candice making sure I had everything I needed for all deliverables. My friends and family were blown away at the comprehensive service by CM Events. Do yourself a favor and give Candice a call to plan your wedding/big event.

Professional, Amazing, and Kind!

Candice is absolutely amazing to work with, no detail is left unseen! During the whole process she was super responsive to emails and answering all of my questions. On the big day of the event she was calm, happy, and very professional and created the most stunning event setup I have ever seen! I wish I could give her a higher rating! :)
