Carina Sent on 05/12/2025Best coordinator in the business!
Hiring Cat and her team as our wedding coordinator was one of the best decisions we made during our planning process. From our very first meeting, she was organized, attentive, and genuinely invested in making our day perfect. Immediately felt as if she and I had been friends for years.
The months leading up to our event Cat kept track of timelines, provided me all the info I needed to stay on schedule and was SOOO helpful with vendor coordination for day of needs. She was always quick to respond to questions and texts throughout the entire time. On the day itself, everything ran flawlessly. Cat handled all the details so we could fully enjoy the moment with our friends and family. From managing the vendors to making sure the schedule flowed smoothly, they executed every detail perfectly.
We received so many compliments from guests (even still hearing about how much fun people had) about how seamless and beautiful the event was.
If you're looking for someone who is professional, passionate, and truly committed to creating an stress-free and magical experience, look no further than Cat and her amazing team. -

Working with Cat was truly outstanding!! She's professional, responsive, punctual, and always a few steps ahead of all wedding matters. As brides, we all want our days to go perfectly, and Cat made sure our wedding day was a beautiful breeze! She's warm, attentive, highly communicative, emotionally intelligent, and super organized. She made sure all of our vendors were aligned, on time, and meeting agreed upon services & expectations. Thank you, Cat, for coordinating our wedding day so we could enjoy every moment! -

You cannot go wrong hiring Cat! Simply put, Cat is very very good at her job. Extremely professional, knowledgeable about the industry, has worked with so many different vendors (always a plus when you're asking your coordinator to lead a team of people), and stayed so calm and on top of things throughout the day.
Cat did our month-of coordination, but she made herself available for us before the month-of because there were things we just needed a bit of guidance on. And, when we were faced with a pretty rainy/windy forecast the week of the wedding, Cat helped us think through a rain plan and was helpful and flexible when plans were changing even the day before the wedding. We had our wedding at a family home, and Cat was really trustworthy and careful with our space.
On the day of the wedding, my husband and I didn't feel stressed about all the little details getting done (decor being placed, signs being put up, things staying dry in the rain, etc) because Cat handled it! We were free to enjoy our day.
Thank you Cat! -

Valerie Sent on 11/13/2023Best Coordinator Ever!
Cat is amazing! She assisted me from time to time when needed and a month before our wedding she went into full coordinator mode. Her timeline for our wedding was very detailed and thorough. As she said her OCD kicked in but I was so happy it did! The day of our wedding was absolutely amazing and Cat was there every moment to make sure we stayed on track. We had a couple of minor changes and she made sure everything still went smoothly. Thanks again for making our day perfect! -

Stefanie Sent on 11/21/2022Cat the Great
We needed a planner on a short amount of time and luckily Cat was available for us. Cat was awesome to work with, she was very easy going and answered all our questions. Very helpful with our vendors and getting any documentations needed for our venue. The day of the wedding my husband and I were very at ease and no stress knowing that Cat and her team were taking care of everything. Our timeline ran very smooth and on time and they had a great handle in making sure that we the bride and groom were taken care of and as well that our families were taken care of. Great experience working with Cat and her team. Cat you are awesome! -

Andi Sent on 09/27/2022Thank you Cat!
Cat was our month of coordinator for our wedding. I am so grateful to have had her helping me well beyond the month before the wedding. She answered all of my questions leading up to the day immediately and with so much kindness. I am so grateful for her organization and thorough work. She provided such a calming presence on our wedding day and rehearsal.
The wedding went so incredibly smoothly and we have Cat to credit for that!

Hiring Cat Crenshaw Events was one of the best decisions we made leading up to our wedding. From our first email inquiry to the follow-up after the event, Cat was responsive and helpful and never made us feel like a bother. She asked questions at the venue we never thought to ask and she achieved everything we hoped for in our little backyard wedding in Santa Barbara. We loved working with her and would recommend her highly! Our only regret is we don't have another event to work with her on. -

Teresa Sent on 05/22/2022Highly Recommend Cat Crenshaw Events!!
Cat Crenshaw and her team are absolutely amazing!! From the moment I first spoke to Cat on the phone to get to know her I knew she was the person I wanted to help me plan my wedding. Cat is positive, creative, approachable, caring and fun! She helped me plan two dream wedding days. One intimate church wedding and one grand ranch wedding!! My husband and parents also loved working with Cat, we feel like she is part of our family now! Cat goes above and beyond for her clients, we are forever grateful for everything she did for us! -

Brock Sent on 11/29/2021We'd be Lost Without Cat
Where do I even begin? Saying Cat was integral to our wedding doesn't even begin to cover how helpful and necessary and fabulous she was. Like many other couples our wedding was postponed because of covid. Cat worked with us seamlessly and with an amazing attitude through the entire process. And that included THREE wedding dates, TWO venues, TWO caterer swaps, a last minute DJ switch and a very difficult transportation vendor. And that's not to mention all the crazy we threw at her on top of it. I had a very particular vision for our wedding involving three aisles during the ceremony, a homemade wedding cake, an extra wedding party photoshoot and a pool party reception. Cat handled all of it with poise and expertly helped me manage all the anxiety that came with planning our special day. I can't imagine having done it without her. We felt so much more at ease and such an amazing time knowing Cat was handling everything. 10/10 would recommend. -

Gabby Sent on 11/22/2021Our wedding day was a dream come true!
Cat, was absolute the best! extremely helpful and made or special day one to remember. Attention to detail would be a phrase that comes to mind after using Cat Crenshaw as our wedding coordinator. She thought of the smallest details that we would not have put thought to. although covid changed our plans when we originally booked with her, she held our hand through the process of making adjustments and downsizing our wedding. I can highly recommend her for any event but most importantly for a stress-free wedding of your dreams. She would be the person to hire. I give her 5 stars when it comes to knowledge, and professionalism. What a memorable day our wedding was. Blessed! Thank you, Cat Crenshaw Events for all you did! -

I will be forever grateful to our friends for recommending Cat and her team when we were in the thick of wedding planning! They were organized, thorough, positive, and provided invaluable insight at every stage. We learned so much from their expertise, and they were totally receptive to some of my quirkier ideas. Rachel also did a fantastic job leading the way on our wedding day. Thank you all! -

Carissa Sent on 08/10/2020THE BEST Wedding Planner around!
To say Cat is an excellent planner is an understatement. We clicked with Cat immediately. She is very responsive and helpful. She has all her ducks in a row but makes the planning process enjoyable. Cat truly views her relationship with clients as a partnership and her kind actions and generous spirit speak volumes to her character. Cat provided constant encouragement, constant communication (even at 9 PM at night), and always had a smile to help us plan a wedding during extraordinary times. Cat was helping us plan a wedding in 2019 for March 2020 and COVID meant we had to postpone. Cat stuck with us every step of the way with adaptations, changes, extra tasks on her part all without complaining. This is a hard time for brides, grooms, vendors, businesses all around. Her ability to align everyone as partners ensured we always had a team of support to make our new version of our big day still go off without a hitch. We had changes down to the week of our wedding and we never felt the chaos on the day of. We fully trusted her. We had a blast working with her and we have no doubts you will have a similar success story. We'd highly recommend Cat to anyone needing a planner. We couldn't have done it without her! -

Callie Sent on 11/01/2019Best wedding planner ever!
I could not have pulled such an amazing wedding off without Cat! From the beginning she was so helpful in finding good vendors, getting the major details figured out, and coming up with solutions for any potential problems. No matter how silly a question I had, she was there via email or text to answer it asap. For my big day she was SO organized, complete with a detailed day-of timeline and contact with all of my vendors. All I had to worry about the day of my wedding was getting ready and having fun! Plus she was always professional and such a joy to work with - I can’t recommend her enough! -

Gina Sent on 12/04/2018The best of the best
It was such an incredible experience to work with Cat Crenshaw in planning my and Bryan’s August 2018 wedding. When I first began this process with my (now) husband, I hadn’t thought about hiring a coordinator. My venue was selected, and I was informed that having a coordinator was a requirement. The venue referred me to Cat, and after reviewing her planning packages I booked her for Full Service Planning. And boooyyyy, am I glad I did!!!
We arranged our first meeting, at Starbucks coffee shop, where she asked me a few personal questions about how Bryan and I met, to try to get to know me better. We instantly clicked! Both Italians, both Pisceans and our husbands are in similar professions. I was so excited to work with her since we got along so well! From there, I gave her a list that she jotted down of what I envisioned for my wedding day- food, drinks, music, colors, theme, flowers, etc. With her experience in the industry, she has a lot of connections and contacts for whatever you need. I told her I wanted to have someone do my hair, she sent me different options/pricing for that. I told her I wanted to have a taqueria menu at my wedding, she sent me her list of recommded caterers. Everything I needed, she had something for. But she also gave me the freedom to do my own research if I chose to, and she worked so kindly with the people I brought in myself. She was on top of requesting quotes/invoices from the different vendors and if I needed any changes, she was on it. I really didn’t have to worry about a thing- WHICH IS WHY I HIRED HER!!! She literally took care of EVERYTHING and kept open lines of communication throughout- via text, email, phone call....
Not only is Cat professional, she is creative! I tend to take a more simple approach to things; “less is more” lol. I’m not very creative (in terms of event planning or designing a venue), so I felt comfortable letting her take the lead in this department. She really shined when it came down to the venue layout and decor. Everything was arranged so beautifully, and it’s all thanks to her. From the ceremony, to cocktail hour and on to the reception, everything flowed and was in a place that made sense!!! She helped me pick everything (tables, chairs, signage, additional decor) piece by piece. Everything was done on such a personal level and because of that, I feel like I was able to enjoy my day- but really appreciate each and every detail at the same time.
In addition to her creativity, she is punctual and organized! We held a rehearsal the night before the wedding, and she made sure to help each one of us with our cues for walking down the aisle. The day of was the same- perfect, without a hitch. I felt like I was an important actress and she was my director lol. She made me feel so important and made sure I was comfortable throughtout the entire day. With her help, I was calm because there was no need to worry! She made sure that everyone was where they needed to be, and when. There was 0 confusion.
So, if you want to work with a

Cat, THANK YOU. It was truly a privilige to work with you and I will never forget how perfect our wedding was because of you. -

Joy Sent on 12/13/2015Cat was a blessing to have. I am a DIYer and a bit of a controller for planning and doing, she made it easy to let go so that I could relax and enjoy my day with no worries. We had a few hiccups, some unplanned guests but everything was handles so easily and smoothly. The day was a dream day thanks to Cat. -

Cat is the Greatest
I had 2 years to plan my wedding while living out of state, so I thought I had everything under control. In the final two weeks leading up, I had family shenanigans, a forecast of rain and thunderstorms, and our photobooth vendor cancelled DURING our wedding to say they weren't coming. You think all that scared Cat? No way! She has a plan for everything! My husband and I agree wholeheartedly that the reason our wedding ran so smoothly and stress-free was all because of Cat's coordinating. She wrote a comprehensive timeline, thought of all the questions for my vendors I never thought to ask, and remained super supportive/flexible with my family drama. She will smile and reassure you that everything will be okay - and it will be amazing! A wedding coordinator is the single most important person at your wedding you never knew you needed. -

Incredible coordinator!!!
Cat was an absolutely amazing coordinator!! She helped us reschedule twice and made sure our Santa Barbara wedding was fantastic and everything we wanted! We had to plan our wedding from abroad and couldn’t have done it without her. She was so communicative with us and all of our vendors. We would highly, highly recommend her!! -
