Cecil brought a fun, creative and highly personalized approach to our day-of wedding planning, guiding us through the process with spot-on advice and recommendations. She gracefully orchestrated the details of our wedding celebration, leaving us free to enjoy ourselves with family and friends.

Cecil was fantastic. It's really a no-brainer -- hire her as your wedding planner and you'll be very happy. She has a great calmness and patience combined with a focused attention to detail and a great deal of hustle on the day of the wedding itself. The whole process of working with Cecil was an absolute pleasure. We recommend her without reservation.

Cecil was absolutely amazing! I didn't think we needed a day-of coordinator, but Cecil completely changed my mind. From the very beginning, she was extremely professional, available and flexible. She fielded multiple questions over both email and text and never once complained. She kept us focused during the planning process (even bringing up points I didn't even think about!) and communicated seamlessly with our venue contact! On the wedding day, I didn't have to think AT ALL - she took care of every detail. I would definitely recommend Cecil over and over again.

Cecil was such a pleasure to work with, both before the wedding and during! She was incredibly organized, which was so helpful in allowing me to be totally prepared on the day of. The timing of everything was perfect, and she was so calm, helpful and sweet the entire day :) Definitely recommended!
