Fantastic wedding planner!

Cindy was an amazing wedding planner and helped guide us through every stage of our wedding process! We really have no idea what we would have done without her, with so many moving pieces and confusing decisions. She led us in the right directions and also always made us feel so much better when we were stressed out. After every time we met with Cindy, our actual excitement about the wedding felt renewed and fresh, and we felt constantly grateful for her. On the actual wedding day, she was invaluable. During the rehearsal, she took charge just as much as we needed her to – totally respectful and conscientious about overstepping, but also totally reliable and helpful constantly. She made everyone laugh and feel at home. She also went totally above and beyond by helping us to finish making our favors in a pinch – not part of her job description, but she offered without hesitation and saved us from losing sleep on the night before our wedding. During the wedding day, she was in the background making sure every single thing went as planned, and by that time we had built enough of a relationship to feel really comfortable with her – we wished she could have come just as a guest! She’s fantastic and highly recommended.

If you're looking to invest in a wedding planner that is going to be there for you every step of the way, then definitely book with Cindy. She knows the industry inside and out. We were lucky enough to book her first before even setting a date! I had no idea where to even begin, and Cindy made the process extremely effortless - she made sure to keep us within budget and on pace with every little detail. She is such a professional and I cannot wait for you to work with her as well!!

Cindy's attention to detail, patient, kind yet firm demeanor are just some of the great qualities that really minimize a bride and groom's stress. We had our wedding in Dominican Republic and she really helped and eased the difficulties that come with planning a destination event.

My husband and I highly recommend Cindy! She helped make our wedding better than our wildest dreams. Here's a few reasons why:
1. Cindy was so calm and sweet. Talking to her was always a joy and calmed any nerves we had. From the moment we spoke to Cindy on the phone and we heard her excitement and attention, we knew she was the right planner to work with. When we took Cindy to meet with our venue, caterer, and our very opinionated families, she managed the room with her kindness, cooling down any disagreements and we are so grateful! On the day of our wedding, we barely saw her! She was behind the scenes running everything smoothly and making sure we enjoyed.
2. Cindy listened to our needs. We spoke to other planners who wouldn't work within our budget, but Cindy helped us to come up with rentals and florist designs that were below budget and more beautiful than we expected.
3. Cindy was open to learning about the many complicated religious rituals we had in our wedding. She took it all in stride and managed to get every detail straight in an entirely unfamiliar world. She was also super organized, even when dealing with our disorganized venue, and helped us feel confident that all was taken care of.
4. My husband and I are not the creative type. We wanted a cool rustic look, but had no idea how to get there. She helped us think through the colors and floral arrangement that would complete our look!
Cindy was the perfect vendor to work with and we had the absolute best time at our wedding thanks so her!

Cindy was absolutely great in helping us plan our Indian wedding. She worked with us for almost 2 years of planning and was always available by phone or email for support, questions, and reviewing contracts with vendors. We had difficulties with 2 vendors and Cindy was honest and able to provide feedback that made my husband and I feel relief in making some hard decisions. She is able to manage big and small crises and is very well organized. We absolutely loved working with Cindy and recommend her to everyone we know. She became part of the family and we miss working with her immensely!

I would whole heartedly recommend Cindy with Detaille, wedding and event planning company, to anyone looking for an event planner for their wedding. She was such a pleasure to work with, very hard working and helpful. She made sure everything went smoothly and was on top of everything. We loved having Cindy working with us and had such an wonderful wedding. It was more than we could have imagined. A dream come true!

Cindy is phenomenal!! I have been working with her for over a year now to create and plan my dream wedding. She has been easy to get in touch with and work with throughout the process. She provided suggestions and listened to all of my husbands and my wishes. My venue was very rigid, and Cindy worked with them as our advocate to save us money and convince them to bend in order to make sure we got what we wanted. She was very organized from the very first day we met through the wedding itself. She helped make sure everything happened on time and smoothly. When there were glitches- I, as the bride, had no idea. Cindy was honestly the best investment that my husband and I made. Thank you for everything Cindy! We love you!

Don't waste your time looking elsewhere. Cindy is all you will need, and more. She is professional, a great listener, flexible, experienced, skilled at selecting and negotiating with vendors, and always there to make the event special. Thanks Cindy!

Two days after the event, we can still feel the warm glow of our wedding day. We simply could not have pulled it off without Cindy's incredible foresight, guidance, and organization. Our wedding was a homegrown affair, held on our friend's farm, with food, invitations, flowers, and more all provided by our friends and family. If you're planning a wedding like this, you might think that you do not need a coordinator. Think again! In retrospect, we realized that precisely because so many elements of our wedding were do-it-yourself, we needed someone who could see how all the elements fit together. We wanted our wedding to be simple: a party with friends, a bonfire, good food, and dancing. Cindy understood right away what we had in mind and knew exactly how to plan it.

On our Skype calls before the event, Cindy walked us through every element we'd planned and every element we hadn't considered. She made multiple checklists and forms outlining every day's events. She was warm and understanding, and patient with the idiosyncrasies of everyone involved in the planning. On our wedding day, it looked like we were going to get rained out. Cindy remained cool and collected as we panicked, creating a flexible rain plan on the fly that we were able to change a half hour before the ceremony started and the clouds began to part. She made sure that several details left to the last minute were executed to perfection.

Here is a story: one of our guests whose daughter is getting married next summer watched Cindy in action and decided on the spot that he wanted to hire her. But his daughter had already found someone whose personality she loved. He asked us for Cindy's name and called his daughter, only to find out that it was Cindy she'd already decided she wanted to hire. He was astonished. We are not surprised. You should hire no one else! Thank you Cindy for helping to give us a day we will remember forever.

Cindy (owner of Detaille) was a gem to work with. She listened to all my requests and worries, gave her professional opinion when needed (first-time brides will need it) and went to bat for me when other vendors pushed back (which happened several times).
On the day of my wedding, I felt completely confident that I could just relax and enjoy because I trusted Cindy 100% to "run the show" and handle whatever issues came up (and we had a few). She was detail oriented ,hence her company name, to a point where other vendors took notice and showed their appreciation for the way in which she organized the day. If I could relive my wedding (and I wish I could!) I would hire Cindy again and again. Ten-star rating!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
