Unbelieveable Planner

Betsy was amazing in helping us plan our big day. We basically had to do it twice with a covid postponement and Betsy was with us through the whole 1-2 years of planning. She was on top of everything and handled the vendors really well. She stayed in touch making sure we were on top of everything we needed to be throughout the process. Her "day of" help was superb and she handled some curveballs of rain and storms really well and made it so we didn't have to worry about a thing on the big day. Overall an amazing planner who knows the area extremely well and will help make your day the one you will never forget.

You won't regret booking Piece of Cake Consulting!

We hired Betsy as our day of coordinator for our wedding at the Monona Terrace this past June and she was outstanding! From our first phone call with Betsy I knew she would be wonderful to have on the day of our wedding. Each phone call or email Betsy was personable, professional, and very helpful for keeping us on track and informed as to what questions we need to get answered. Each time we talked to her we felt less stressed about the whole planning process and keeping everything running smoothly the day of. Even though we had only hired her as our day of planner, she still offered and booked our rental chairs for us through Event Essentials and coordinated everything with them. The day of our wedding was absolutely perfect! She was our point of contact with our venue and if anything went wrong AT ALL during the day, my husband and I still to this day have no idea if it had happened. She was always there when we needed her and just seemed to know where to be when and how to keep us organized and sticking to our timeline perfectly. I would also recommend hiring Betsy to do take down at the end of the night. Not only did Betsy set up our venue space EXACTLY as I envisioned and asked her to, but she also took down our decorations and made sure to pack everything away so no one in either of our families had to worry about ending the evening cleaning up after the reception. Betsy went above and beyond for our wedding and honestly made our day perfect. – Thank you so much Betsy – we couldn’t have done it without you!!

Happy with Piece of Cake's planning and execution

I could not be happier with the execution of my daughter's wedding and we could not have done it without Betsy! Her experience and advise ensured a smooth planning process. All the vendors that she recommended did an excellent job, the band was so much fun. She made the wedding day seem effortless. I would definitely use her services again. Thanks Betsy!

Betsy is the Best!

My husband and I got married this past August and couldn’t have pulled it off without the help of Betsy. Even though we live out of state we were able to meet with Betsy in person as well as over the phone. After each meeting we were left feeling less stressed and knew we were on track, which is the best feeling to have when planning a wedding! Betsy was always very organized, provided great tips, vendor recommendations and was very bubbly and fun to work with. Finally when our wedding day arrived, everything went off without a hitch! Everything was on time, people were where they needed to be, flowers were transported, and the list could go on. As the Bride, I was worried about everything coming together and I can honestly say I am so happy with everything! I was able to enjoy our wedding day without having to run around like a mad women making sure everything was ready to go! Betsy was a godsend to have throughout the whole process and my husband and I recommend her to any couple looking for an organized, hands-on, delightful person to work with!

Betsy was incredible for our entire wedding planning process. We went with the partial planning package, and it was well worth the cost. From helping us create a budget, answering all our questions (like do we need an open bar?), and her list of recommended vendors, her services were easily paid for with the money she helped us save. Betsy always kept our vision in mind for the wedding to help us create a day that was meaningful to us. She’s extremely professional, always responds promptly to emails, texts and calls, and was flexible in scheduling meetings. She and her assistant helped set up, organize people, and kept tabs on all the vendors the day of, making it stress free for me and my partner. Overall, we can’t recommend her highly enough!

I've contacted Betsy to help with my niece's upcoming wedding and I have to say she is a book of knowledge when it comes to planning a wedding. She has already taken the stress out of the planning by setting up an timeline for us as well as giving us a list of venues and vendors that will help us stay within our budget. She pays attention to all of the little details to make sure we don't miss a thing. She has been available to answer any questions and is so much fun to work with!

I found Piece of Cake Consulting LLC after doing a lot of research on wedding planners in Madison, WI area. She promptly responded to my request and setup our first meeting. After this I was completely happy with her professionalism and how organized she was. Her checklist and list of recommended vendors was extremely useful during the wedding planning/preparation. I really enjoyed the pre-wedding meetings we had, because she was full of great ideas that were within our budget. During the wedding, Betsy and her assistant were delightful. She picked up food for the bridesmaids, made sure that we were on time, worked on the decoration, in other words, she made my day stress-free. Also, during the reception, Betsy took a stroller my now husband''s niece and walked her in the room, so that my sister-in-law enjoyed her dinner. She went above and beyond even putting the decor away. I am so glad that I had her during my special day. Thank you so much for making my day so special!

I worked with Betsy to plan my out-of-state wedding and she was invaluable. She had great suggestions for venues, caterers, photographers, musicians, etc, which I greatly appreciated since I didn't live in the city. I used a number of them and they were all excellent. I most appreciated her day-of support and keeping things organized and on-schedule with the rehearsal, wedding ceremony and dinner. She and her partner Terri didn't miss a beat and went above and beyond from start to finish. It was a pleasure working with them!

Betsy and her team were an amazing help to me the week of the wedding, and on the day of! We reached out to her very late in the game as we realized that the day of was going to be a little more complicated, and we probably needed some professional hands on deck, and she was able to get up to speed and work with us in a very short amount of time. We had our reception for 220 people at a more complicated venue and had lots of vendors to work with, and the entire day was executed flawlessly. Betsy was able to handle a few last minute snags and ensured that I was able to relax and have fun on my big day. They were fun, easy to work with, professional, and kept everyone focused and calm. I could not have imagined our wedding coming together more perfectly! The best thing we did for the wedding was to make sure we had Betsy on board - it would not have been as big of a success without her.

If you want your wedding to be exactly what you want, with little stress, you need Betsy from Piece of Cake Consulting. Our wedding was exactly what we wanted, in no small part because of Betsy’s hard work. From our first meeting, Betsy really listened to what we wanted in our wedding and inspired confidence that she could make it happen. We both liked Betsy’s style – a nice balance of flexibility but also asking good questions about our ideas to make sure we had really thought things through. Betsy took it from ideas to reality. She provided recommendations and references for vendors, but was not pushy about it. She worked well with everyone involved. The week of the wedding, Betsy really took over, confirming (and re-confirming!) all of the details with the venue, vendors, etc. By the time the wedding came, everything was in place and it went so smoothly. (We suspect many thing were going on behind the scenes, but Betsy and her assistant took care of everything and we never saw any snags or issues.) Betsy is organized, detail-oriented and can take control when needed, but also super easy to work with and, not unimportantly, she made wedding planning actually low stress and fun! We HIGHLY recommend Piece of Cake.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
