I cannot recommend Jacque and Lifetime Events by Jacqueline highly enough! From start to finish,…read moreJacque went above and beyond to create an unforgettable winter ski getaway and an incredible 50th birthday celebration at Whiteface Lodge. Every detail was handled with precision and care--from crafting a daily itinerary of winter activities like skiing, ice skating, and dogsledding, to orchestrating a spectacular birthday bash complete with shuttle service for guests, stunning décor, catering for food and beverages, a fantastic DJ, photographer, and even fun photo booths. The list of what she managed is endless! What truly stood out was Jacque's professionalism and calm confidence throughout the entire process. Even when things were uncertain, she never wavered. Jacque made me feel completely supported, as if I had a trusted partner who always had my back. Her ability to anticipate needs, solve problems quickly, and keep everything running smoothly ensured that I could relax and enjoy every moment knowing I was in good hands. If you're looking for someone who combines creativity, organization, and grace under pressure, Jacque at Lifetime Events by Jacqueline is the one. She turned my vision into reality and exceeded every expectation. I am beyond grateful for her hard work and dedication! Thank you Jacque!! Keisha Grant-Heslop

It was a gorgeous and fun party and I had absolutely nothing to with most of it which was amazingggg.

I cannot imagine having gone through the wedding planning process without True Event, specifically…read moreCaitlin Campbell. After getting engaged I thought I would be able to handle planning a wedding in CT while living 800 miles away in Chicago, and I quickly realized it would be a huge challenge. Once I began working with Caitlin I immediately felt more relaxed and less stressed. She was always on top of her game in every way. She was there to answer any questions I had (which often came via frantic email/texts), and she was really helpful when I was trying to decide things about decor, wedding day timeline, guest accommodations, etc. She was in constant communication with all of my vendors, and was always quick to respond via text or email when needed. The weekend of the event she was super organized, and made sure everything went smoothly. She was there to field any questions that came up so I didn't have to, and made sure every detail was how I wanted it. I could not have done it without her help! Thank you Caitlin, and True Event, for making our wedding day perfect and stress free.

It is my pleasure to submit this review of the performance of Sarah, Caitlin and the staff of True…read moreEvent 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!

Geoff at Local Motion Entertainment promises to keep people dancing at your wedding all night long…read moreand he does exactly that! From the first conversation over Zoom, Geoff just radiates warmth and excitement and that continued throughout the next year of planning. Not only was he reasonably priced, he was so accommodating and provided our music and MC services for the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception! During the planning process he and his wife/business partner Grace, provided all the information they needed from us in such an easy way to understand and was so approachable when we had questions. The second the wedding reception started, a bridesmaid of mine, who has photographed hundreds of weddings, came up to me and complimented not only his music choices, but his energy as well. No one left the dance floor that night and he provided a great selection of music. If you want to take all of the guess work out of music for your wedding, hire Geoff and Grace at Local Motion Entertainment!

TLDR: Hire them!!! Best decision we ever made!…read more     My husband and I hired Sandra and Michelle (and their amazing team) as our day of coordinators. And let me tell you, they bring their A game!     A little back story.... we did it all in 6 months. Our venue was beautiful but... they provide NOTHINGGGG and you can only get in to start setting up 2 hours before your time slot. We were a little over confident in our ability to make this work.  2 months before the date we were in full fledged panic mode realizing we couldn't do it on our own. We had talked with 2 other companies, prior to our scheduled meeting with Sandra and Michelle, that we both felt we really liked.... until we had our meeting with Sandra and Michelle. Our consultation with them lasted 1.5 hours! They were beyond thorough in asking questions so that they fully understood everything that was going on and so they knew exactly what we wanted. They also offered quite a few suggestions for things we never even thought of. We ended the meeting and both said, "and we thought we liked the other 2???" No comparison. We felt such relief after talking with them. I can't  even explain the weight they lifted off of our shoulders.  We hired them immediately!  Our next 2 meetings were equally as productive and made us feel so much more at ease with the situation.  We ended up hiring waitstaff thru them as well and they were phenomenal.   The day of came ( Sept 23rd, the day tropical cyclone 16 was headed into town ) We had to rearrange our entire set-up due to the rain. But we both felt no anxiety the entire day, and that was because we had full trust in Sandra and Michelle. We let them do their thing, knowing it would look amazing.  (We actually had no idea what the place even looked like before we walked in) They were there way before they had to be, they rearranged everything to be inside because of the rain, (like, a whole new floor plan on the spot) got everything set up and looking gorgeous. All in a tropical storm. Throughout the nite they constantly checked in with us, and our guests, asking if we needed anything. They went above and beyond every second of the night.  Perfect example... When i changed into my sneakers Sandra saw me, stopped what she was doing, picked up my foot and tied my shoes for me!! I seriously don't have the words to tell you how great they are.      They made our wedding absolutely incredible and 100% stress free. Doing that for any wedding is no easy feat, but ours had more than a few curve balls thrown in there. We can't thank them enough for what they did for us.  If you made it to the end of this very long reveiw,  don't even stop and question, HIRE THEM!!!

I got married at the Greenpoint Loft in October of 2024. We cannot say enough wonderful things…read moreabout Creative Foods Catering! From the moment we first reached out, Michelle and Mehmet provided exceptional service, making the entire process seamless and stress-free. Mehmet came over to our apartment in Brooklyn for a menu tasting and the experience was something we will never forget. It was like having your own private chef for a "date night" at home. Highly recommend doing this if you can! Their attention to detail, creativity, and genuine care for our vision truly set them apart. Michelle and Mehmet worked closely with us to craft a menu that perfectly reflected our tastes and accommodated all of our guests' dietary needs. Michelle was so incredibly helpful when it came to ordering our rentals. She spent so much time answering my questions and made my vision come to life! They are a dream team. On the wedding day, they exceeded our expectations in every way. They showed up on-time and had setup complete before the first guest arrived. Mehmet brought us champagne after our "first look" to help with our nerves before the ceremony. The food was absolutely incredible--every dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. Our guests raved about it all night! The service was equally exceptional. During cocktail hour, we never had to wait for a drink; their staff was attentive and ensured everyone was taken care of. They even set aside a serving of all of the passed hors d'oeuvres for my husband and I and our signature cocktails so we could enjoy them after the ceremony before we joined the rest of our guests (and to ensure we got to try everything because cocktail hour can be very demanding of the bride and groom) During dinner, drinks were brought directly to the tables, so our guests didn't have to get up, and their attentiveness throughout the night was remarkable.If you're looking for a catering team that combines impeccable food with outstanding service, look no further than Creative Foods Catering. Michelle and Mehmet, thank you for making our special day even more unforgettable! We seriously couldn't have dreamt of a better catering team to work with, 5 stars!!!!!

We selected most of their Mediterranean choices, many of which are literal family recipes. It was such a unique menu -- definitely not your run-of-the-mill catering company! Even weeks later our guests are still raving about the food. Michelle was amazing to work with -- always responsive, accommodating and so friendly. She also helped us secure a few other vendors, and her recommendations were top notch. They are a full service catering company so that made things easier on us during the planning process. Their staff was attentive and checked on us so many times throughout the night - ensuring that we also got to enjoy our special day. We'd give them 10 stars if we could.

I first met Kim in 2022 at my best friend's wedding, and after becoming a bride myself just a month…read moreago, I knew I had to share my own experience. I've now had the privilege of seeing Kim in action twice, first as a bridesmaid and now as a bride. Both experiences were nothing short of incredible. She consistently delivers organized, beautiful, timeless events with such professionalism, care, and attention to detail. Kim quickly learned that I'm the type of person who jumps in to help without being asked. But on my wedding day, before I could even think about what needed to be done, she and her team already had everything handled. They worked so seamlessly behind the scenes that I never had to worry about a single thing. They kept everyone on schedule, made sure the entire bridal party was taken care of, and ensured the day flowed effortlessly from beginning to end. That peace of mind is exactly why, the moment I got engaged, Kim was my very first call. After my wedding, I was genuinely surprised to come across a review claiming that Kim and her team "scammed" a couple and provided poor service. That simply does not reflect what I have personally witnessed, now on two separate occasions. Looking through the many other reviews from happy couples, it's clear that my experience is consistent with the overwhelming majority. It's sad to see a single review that is so completely opposite of what so many others, including myself, have experienced. While every wedding has its own unique challenges, I have personally seen Kim remain calm, professional, patient, and willing to help even when faced with difficult circumstances. In my opinion, she consistently goes above and beyond to create an experience that is unforgettable not only for the couple, but for every guest attending. My experiences with her have been consistently positive, and I truly believe her long history of happy couples speaks for itself. I sincerely hope that anyone who had a different experience is able to find peace. Kim, I truly cannot thank you and your team enough. You continue to show up with professionalism, patience, kindness, and a genuine willingness to help in every way possible. If there were any challenges throughout the day, I never saw them or felt them because you handled everything so gracefully. You honored all of our traditions, kept everything running smoothly, and helped bring every one of my bridal dreams to life. I hope you know just how valuable you are and how much of a difference you make in such an important moment in people's lives. I wish you and your amazing team nothing but continued success. Thank you, ladies, for everything!

I had my summer camp wedding Sept 21, 2024 in the Hudson Valley…read more I do not recommend Kimberly DeBose's services from Curated by Kim (https://www.instagram.com/curatedbykimweddings/). The services were so terrible that in the end, I felt scammed out of a lot of money. Even though we did hire day-of event planning, she was unresponsive throughout our entire planning process which was my first red flag. Even when we scheduled meetings she would never send a meeting link unless I asked. We were promised periodic meetings and they were not scheduled proactively by her. At one point I followed up asking about our Day 85 call and she never responded to me. In the end, a week before the wedding I had to schedule my own call with the vendors and add her, hoping she would join. Even on calls that I scheduled, I had to remind her when/where to join. Responses were delayed by weeks, if she even bothered to answer my emails, and constantly asked questions for things that we already covered. Then during the event itself, our venue staff complained about how they have never seen such poor service at any of their previous events. Kim forgot my bouquet at the time of the ceremony. We had to wait for her to go get it before walking down the aisle. They were unable to answer questions for the venue staff and made little effort to help them out, to the point they had to wake them up at 8:30PM to get their help transferring alcohol. They did not help pack up or take down decorations, assist guests, or check rooms for lost property. I did not even see or hear from them myself on the Sunday morning of my departure. There are many more examples that I personally have but I will avoid listing them all here. I hope that by writing this review I have helped someone else avoid hiring her as a wedding planner and feeling scammed as I did.

I received a list of vendors from our synagogue and called all of them. The only one that was genuinely willing to work with me was OnTheMarc. Amanda and Marc understood completely what we were trying to accomplish and our budgetary restrictions. I am not saying it was cheap in any way, but they worked with me to achieve the perfect combination of quality and ample food at a, at least fair and manageable price. And, I have to say the food selection was incredible. I cannot tell you how many of our guests commented about it. However, the experience with On the Marc was so much more than just that. The staff was ample and incredible. EVERYONE was attended to at all times. Jacqui, the on-site lead was not only helpful leading up to the event, but she was invaluable at the event. It took such a load off our shoulders knowing she was there. I would use OnTheMarc over and over again if I could and I recommend them wholeheartedly for any event. I cannot thank them enough for what they did. I didn't want to put on such an expensive affair, but they did something I didn't think was possible - made me happy I did it.
