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!

I am writing this review as an experienced traveler. I have lived in 7 different countries,…read moretraveled to over 30 and am on my fifth passport. I begin with this because in all my traveling I have never used a travel agent or saw the benefit. I met Michele a few years ago and instantly liked her. She is one of those people with amazing energy. So when it was time to book my honeymoon, even though I knew where I wanted to go and stay, I decided to ask Michele to handle the booking and all the details for me. This was at least one thing I didn't have to think or worry about. As it turned out, it was the best decision that I have made in a very long time. The month before the wedding was my busiest of my working career. Added to that, the last minute details of the wedding and the wedding itself. My life was crazy insane but I knew that I would be able to relax on my honeymoon which was scheduled 2 days after my wedding. Here's where it gets good... The day after the wedding it was time to check in to our flights. I got my passport out to put in the details and the expiration date. I kept looking at it and it wasn't making sense to me...then reality hit.. My passport had expired the day before. I couldn't believe it.. How did this happen to me? I know better.. I'm experienced.. I always check, double check and triple check.. But this time, I hadn't because I was more concerned with getting my finance his first passport. I never thought to look at mine. My dream honeymoon was lost... along with all the money I spent to book it. After my screaming, crying and subsequent panic attack.. I started to think. I thought.. ok.. I have a travel agent.. I have heard Michele tell stories about people who this has happened to... So I texted her and said, "Hi Michele... It's amateur hour at my house at the moment... you will never believe this, but my passport has expired and I am melting down"... She instantly texted me back and told me to calm down and that she was on it. About an hour later, she got back to me and said this is the plan... "I have contacted the hotels and the transfer companies. We are all set. They have agreed to push your check in date back a day and we will be able to change the flights. Tomorrow, get up at the crack of dawn and go to the emergency passport office and get a new passport. Long story short.. I did this, got my passport and left the next day. Through this whole sage, Michele was kind and patient and constantly reassured me that everything would be fine even though I thought all was lost. If it wasn't for her, her experience and guidance, I do believe all would have been lost. It was so incredible to know that I had someone to turn to. I also truly believe that the hotels would not have been so agreeable with me directly. But because she is an agent, they want to make sure that they are helpful when they can be. This whole experience has shown me the "TRUE VALUE" of a travel agent. I was able to go on my dream honeymoon that didn't disappoint. Unbeknownst to me, Michele, had one more surprise. When we checked into our room at JADE MOUNTAIN, ST. LUCIA~ which I had been waiting to see for 10 years, we were given an upgrade.. but not any upgrade...They gave us the best room in the entire hotel..(ps.. I have never been giving an upgrade) ....and Never did I think in a million years, I ever would be staying in this room.. I laughed and cried, at the same time. My dream literally came true. It wasn't until I got back and found out that Michele on one of her many travels, had met the owner of this hotel, spoke to her about us and asked her in her sweet Michele way, if there was anything they could do for us, it would be greatly appreciated. Well.. they came through and in the most amazing way. I want to thank Michele for making this all possible. I get emotional thinking about it. She gave me the experience of a lifetime and gave me my dream honeymoon. If it wasn't for her, I don't think my honeymoon even would have happened. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I am now a total convert. She will be handling all my travel in the future. Michele.. I hope you're ready! :-) x Erin.

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.

Enter Sharon Elizabeth's: it has a user friendly site and it was easy to find a beautiful bouquet that fit my budget. There was a large selection and they delivered to the location I needed. The best part was that the bouquet was so beautiful - and exactly what I was looking for! I've attached a picture that the receiver got. They absolutely loved it too! What I especially loved is that I gave instructions to knock and hand the flowers over personally if they could. I got a phone call from the delivery staff asking if it was okay that they left it by the door since the receivers did not answer. I did end up missing the voicemail and didn't get to respond, but it was so thoughtful of them. I've never had a flower delivery company check in with me like that. I know it's nerve wracking ordering flowers online especially if you live out of state, but I would highly recommend this company. They are customer service oriented and are great and creating beautiful arrangements for your loved ones.

She and Ofer did an amazing job with our kids, they really have a way of putting them at ease and eliciting the best from them.

Emily and Ofer were so relaxed and calm and accepting of my son's mood, that it put me at ease and by default, my son. We got some fantastic pictures! Emily and Ofer are really exceptional people as well, and they LOVE what they do. I am always amazed at the pictures that they take because they often uncover something that you might not have noticed about a person, a place or the combination of the factors. What emerges is beauty. I also LOVE that they give you the photos so you can use them in so many ways. In this day of technology, I love having the freedom to use the photos online, in picture gifts & however else I see fit. It really is fantastic! I recommend Emily to EVERYONE without reservation! She is wonderful and you truly can see the best in people when she and Ofer photograph them!
