After my sister used True Event for both her wedding ceremony & celebration I knew I needed to have their team planning my wedding as well a few years later. Sarah Lexi and MK were the best and kept everything running smoothly and so organized so my mom sister or I barely had to lift a finger. Their connections in the business, organization and detail oriented view made wedding planning for a year as seamless and stress free of an experience as it could be! They were extremely responsive, meticulous with every detail and true experts in the field, couldn't recommend enough!

My husband and I worked with True Event to plan our wedding in September and we simply cannot say enough good things about the experience. From my first planning call with Caitlin, I knew I had made the right decision and that we were in the best of hands. Heading into the planning process, I was worried about being overwhelmed by the seemingly endless number of vendors and decisions, and Caitlin alleviated those concerns immediately. She struck exactly the right balance between getting to know my husband and I and understanding our style, while also using her experience and expertise to guide us in the right direction, ultimately landing on a set of vendors and style choices that would be a perfect reflection of us in the final event.

Throughout the process, I looked forward to my weekly calls with Caitlin immensely. She is such a wonderfully kind person, is incredibly organized and knowledgeable about every step of the process, and also has a very calming presence that consistently saved me from feeling overwhelmed or stressed out. She was extremely proactive and organized about coordinating with vendors, and knew exactly when to loop me in while making sure I never felt overwhelmed. The few weeks leading up to the wedding coincided with an incredibly busy time at work and I genuinely don’t know what I would have done without her.

The wedding weekend itself was, quite simply, flawless. My husband and I (and many of our guests!!) have said about a million times since that we wish we could go back and re-live it over and over again. From the moment we arrived at the venue, Caitlin and her team were there making sure everything was on track, so that all we had to do was relax and and not think about a single thing other than celebrating with each other and our friends and family. The entire weekend flowed beautifully, the decor choices were stunning, and we heard from so many of our guests that it was the best wedding they had ever attended, and I think a large part of that is due to Caitlin and True Event. They were an absolute joy to work with from start to finish, and I would recommend them wholeheartedly and without reservation!

It is my pleasure to submit this review of the performance of Sarah, Caitlin and the staff of True Event whose collective efforts as planners of the recent wedding of my daughter, Ashley, at Hilldeen in Manchester, Vermont produced an unqualified triumph and a truly memorable day for all in attendance.

My late husband, Ashley’s father, had promised her the wedding of her dreams and she had, over time, created a vivid and richly-detailed vision of the event that Sarah ‘magically’ made real for her. I ran my own catering company for twelve years and planned my share of weddings; I am well aware that Sarah’s graceful and seemingly effortless execution of the entire extravaganza was, in reality, the result of assiduous attention to detail, tireless preparation and contingency planning and a wonderful capacity for collaboration and communication. She juggled the often conflicting priorities of the bride, the site planners, the hotel event staff and literally dozens of other vendors, while subtly nudging them all toward a coherent team effort with charm and finesse. I know from professional experience how much hard work goes into making things look easy.

Often, it’s the little touches that leave lasting impressions and fond memories. In the final, hectic minutes before we left the house for the ceremony, it was discovered that one of the wedding party did not have his specially matched tie (all of the ties had been ordered months in advance and couldn’t be replaced.) Sarah made a matching tie “materialize” out of thin air ; always “Be Prepared” for any eventuality. She had saved a spare. Moments later, as we awaited the arrival of the shuttle, she noticed that my son, who was perspiring freely in the 90 degree heat, was in need of tee shirt to protect his dress shirt, she raced off and bought him one. A true pro...a great company!

Hiring True Event to plan my June wedding at Castle Hill was hands down the best decision I made throughout the entire process. Sarah and Caitlin are absolute experts and are highly respected within the industry. True Event’s established relationships with all of my vendors helped to ensure that they delivered their best value and service. I worked primarily with Sarah and she truly did guide me through every step of the process. She is organized, pays close attention to detail, and completely managed the planning timeline. It was a huge relief to my mom and me that we could rely on her to tell us what we needed to do and when. Additionally, Sarah brings such a calming presence to her work. She helps even the most neurotic brides (me) feel at ease. She was never phased by anything including ridiculous requests and the inevitable bickering that occurs between a mother and the bride. From a design perspective, Sarah and Caitlin have the ability to synthesize their client's often convoluted ideas into a cohesive design story. I was amazed by how they were able to turn my ideas (shared via photos, random emails, texts and conversations) into a design proposal that was completely on point. When it came to the weekend of the wedding, there was not a single detail missing or out of place. Not only was the execution of every event absolutely seamless, but Sarah also managed to be by my side every second. I cannot thank Sarah and her True Event team enough for going above and beyond in so many ways. Any bride would be lucky to work with such an incredible team.

Where do I even begin?! Sarah and her team are AMAZINGGGGG. My vision for the wedding was all over the place and Sarah was able to hear what I wanted (and what I didn't want) and assemble the BEST vendors for the job. Her incredible sense of design and calm (but FUN) nature produced the most gorgeous and flawlessly executed event. I didn't see her all night because we never left the dance floor but our guests kept raving about how perfect the night was - we agree!!! Sarah removed all the wedding stress and made our wedding SO perfect, I want her to design and plan every part of my life :)

Caitlin Campbell of True Events was the perfect match for my hard-to-please, micro-managing, straight-talking personality. I live 2,000 miles away and hired her to coordinate and help plan a large, elegant, fun, daytime birthday party recently for my father at Westport’s Longshore Inn.
She and I had only 3-1/2 weeks to plan and I had strong ideas about the table design, cake, and music. So finding a planner with excellent communication and time management skills was as important as one I could trust with my vision.
Caitlin has an ability to balance, often in the same moment: staying super focused on detail and yet always seeing the aerial view; holding a firm line on priorities yet quickly pivoting to accommodate new information; assuming responsibility for the overall success and yet being flexible and trusting enough to hand me the reins.
She is young, mature, hip and aware, yet has a strong sense of tradition and classic aesthetics. She’s got excellent, sophisticated taste, and a quick sense of humor.
She shared the same sense of urgency as I, yet provided maximum calm. Even when I gave her cause for being nervous, her voice always remained calm and her words measured.
Caitlin is a careful listener, intuitive and provides a deft touch for keeping things on track. We could debate without tension, quickly define a problem and move towards solution. I was heavily involved working out creative details with most of the vendors, but I never felt controlled or harried by her.
What made Caitlin different from the other eight or nine planners I interviewed is that she understands this creative process requires collaboration and it’s her job is to intelligently manage the risks without dampening inspiration or adding stress.
Caitlin took my pretty good vision and made it perfectly wonderful. It was a joy working with her.

Words cannot describe how incredible it was to work with True Event. My husband and I worked with Caitlin to plan our wedding. She is EXACTLY who you want to work with when planning your wedding – she was extremely organized, very efficient, and thought of every single detail leading up to the wedding. Caitlin was so helpful in picking vendors, deciding on small details, and thinking of things I would have never thought to do myself. The day-of Caitlin was an absolute godsend. She kept my mom and me calm and made the day absolutely perfect. My husband and I did not have to think about anything other than enjoying our wedding. Caitlin did SO much behind the scenes and we cannot imagine our wedding day without her and her amazing work. Her assistant Kira was also awesome as well! We would highly recommend working with True Event as they truly made our wedding the wedding of our dreams (and more!). Besides the fact Sarah and Caitlin are great planners, they are also the nicest people ever. Such a dream team! Thank you, True Event!

I had the pleasure of working with Sarah and her team to plan our dream wedding. Sarah helped bring our vision to life and connected us with the best vendors for what we were looking to accomplish. Our day could not have been more magical and we could not have done it without Sarah! We were literally blown away when we saw how our venue had been transformed! Everything was executed to perfection and Sarah went above and beyond to make sure we had the most spectacular day and that everything ran smoothly. Not only is Sarah an amazing event planner, but she is the sweetest and kindest person to work with. She was so easy to work with throughout the entire process! We could not have been happier with our choice to work with True Event and would highly recommend them!!

I found Caitlin at True Even through a mutual friend and I am so, so, so happy that I did! She is a wedding MASTER, knowing exactly what had to be done and removing (almost!) all stress. Not only did Caitlin made sure everything was taken care of and that I had the most amazing time at my wedding, but what she put together was so fun, so beautiful and everything I could have ever wanted. She completely understood my (at many times indecisive) vision and she made it happen. She was always so sweet and handled tricky situations with ease and grace. She kept me calm on the day of, which ensured that I enjoyed the day that much more. Can't say enough about her...hire her immediately! You will be so glad that you did :)

We started working with Caitlin at True Event five months before our wedding at Jonathan Edwards Winery. We had the major things booked and I had all of my ideas beginning to unfold when I realized that I would never be able to perfectly pull it all together myself while still fully enjoying our wedding. Caitlin was instrumental in those last five months of planning. She kept me on track, guided my design ideas, helped us prioritize impactful details, and handled all of the logistics which was the biggest help. She has done so many weddings with many of the vendors that we were working with and knew the ins and outs of Jonathan Edwards, which allowed us to not have to worry about things you don't even think about and usually come up at the last minute (electricity/sound for the ceremony musicians?!). We felt completely at ease the whole weekend that she was handling whatever came up. She collected our gifts, packed up our car with all of the details we wanted to keep and all of the random stuff that was left behind in the bridal suite. She gave us the biggest peace of mind that everything was handled and taken care of - and that was completely priceless.

We were also planning our rehearsal dinner at Abbott's Lobster in Noank and ended up hiring Caitlin to help set up and run that as well. She came in with the best recommendations for a musician, desserts, picked up flowers from our florist and set it all up before coming up to the winery to run our rehearsal. That event was also perfection and we would never have been able to do everything necessary ourselves without stressing and rushing.

True Event was 100% worth the hire. Caitlin is professional, knowledgeable, and friendly - she feels like a friend through the process - it was honestly such a pleasure working with her. Our wedding was stunningly beautiful and 100% flawlessly executed and we know that that has everything to do with Caitlin's coordination, advice, ideas and attention. Thank you Caitlin!!!
